Long non-coding RNA HIF1A-AS2 modulates the proliferation, migration, and phenotypic switch of aortic smooth muscle cells in aortic dissection via sponging microRNA-33b.

Abstract excerpt

Aortic dissection (AD), also known as aortic dissecting aneurysm, is one of the most common and dangerous cardiovascular diseases with high morbidity and mortality. This study was aimed to investigate the functional role of long non-coding RNA Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha-antisense RNA 2 (lncRNA HIF1A-AS2) in AD. An in vitro model of AD was established by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-mediated...
