MicroRNA‐206 regulates vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switch and vascular neointimal formation

MiR‐206 has been found to play a critical role in skeletal muscle proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration. However, little is known about the function of miR‐206 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) biology. In this study, we will investigate its roles in phenotypic switching of VSMCs and neointimal lesion formation. First, we identified the expression of miR‐206 in VSMCs treated with various concentrations of TGFβ1 and in rat...
