Abstract:Background:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may participate in the process of vascular calcification. However, the role of microRNA-17-5p in vascular calcification has not been clarified. In this study, we showed the effects of microRNA-17-5p on vascular calcification.
Materials and Methods:
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were transfected with miR-17-5p mimics, an miR-17-5p inhibitor or a negative control (NC) using Lipofectamine 2000. Then the cells were induced by an osteogenic medium. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) … Show more
