Sexual dimorphism of miRNA signatures in feto-placental endothelial cells is associated with altered barrier function and actin organization
11 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Endothelial function and the risk for endothelial dysfunction differ between males and females. Besides the action of estrogen, sex chromosome gene expression and programming effects also provoke this sexual dimorphism. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as regulators of endothelial cell function and dysfunction. We here hypothesized distinct miRNA expression patterns in male versus female human endothelial cells...
