Description:

Aberrant Expression of miRNA in Injured Arteries Is Confirmed by qRT-PCR or Northern Blot Analysis.Downregulation of overexpressed miR-21 decreases neointima formation in rat carotid artery after angioplasty.Inhibition of miR-21 decreases proliferation of cultured VSMCs.Inhibition of miR-21 increases apoptosis of cultured VSMCs.
