Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays central roles in endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) involved in development and pathogenesis. Although EndMT and epithelial-mesenchymal transition are similar processes, roles of microRNAs in EndMT are largely unknown. Here, we report that constitutively active microRNA-31 (miR-31) is a positive regulator of TGF-β-induced EndMT. Although the expression is not...
