Epigenetic down‐regulation of microRNA‐126 in scleroderma endothelial cells is associated with impaired responses to VEGF and defective angiogenesis
17 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Impaired angiogenesis in scleroderma (SSc) is a critical component of SSc pathology. MicroRNA-126 (miR-126) is expressed in endothelial cells (MVECs) where it regulates VEGF responses by repressing the negative regulators of VEGF, including the sprouty-related protein-1 (SPRED1), and phosphoinositide-3 kinase regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2). MVECs were isolated from SSc skin and matched subjects (n = 6). MiR-126...
