Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Plaque regions in atherosclerosis (AS) exhibit sustained moderate hypoxia, which may impair endothelial function and influence vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) behavior. This study aims to investigate hypoxia-responsive endothelial-derived long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and their role in enhancing oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)-induced phenotypic switching of VSMCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
