Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) can promote vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to switch from the quiescent contractile phenotype to synthetic phenotype, which contributes to atherosclerosis. We aimed to investigate the role of microRNA let-7g in phenotypic switching. Bioinformatics prediction was used to find let-7g target genes in the PDGF/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1...
