Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus causes vascular endothelial dysfunction and alters vascular microRNA expression. We investigated whether endothelial microRNA-34a (miR-34a) leads to diabetic vascular dysfunction by targeting endothelial sirtuin1 (Sirt1) and asked whether the oxidative stress protein p66Shc governs miR-34a expression in the diabetic endothelium. APPROACH AND RESULTS: MiR-34a is upregulated, and Sirt1...
