MiR-940 regulates angiogenesis after cerebral infarction through VEGF.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-490 was involved in the regulation of angiogenesis after cerebral infarction by regulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression.Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used to establish a middle cerebral artery infarction model. Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR-940 in serum and brain tissues at 1, 3, and 7 days...
