Abstract excerpt
miR-374a-5p expression and localization in intracranial aneurysm (IA) tissues were detected, and its correlation with vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and macrophage markers was analyzed. Using platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) induced VSMC model, elastase-induced IA rat model. Subsequently, miR-374a-5p was knocked down or overexpressed. We investigated the effects of miR-374a-5p on phenotypic...
