Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Atherosclerosis is a narrowing of the arteries caused by plaque buildup. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed to participate in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Here, we aimed to investigate miR-205-5p's role in promoting atherosclerotic progression. METHODS: Knock-in (KI) mice with human/murine miR-205-5p within the murine host gene for miR-205 (MIR205HG) were crossed with apolipoprotein E knockout...
