Nanoparticle-mediated microRNA-145 Delivery for Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype Modulation and Atherosclerosis Treatment

2020-09-10

Abstract excerpt

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) change from contractile to the synthetic phenotype during atherogenesis and 30-70% of cells that make up plaques have been elucidated to be of VSMC origin. MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) is responsible for regulating VSMC phenotypic switching, and low miR-145 levels in circulation have been linked with atherosclerosis. Hence, we developed nanoparticles for targeted delivery of miR-145...
