NEAT1 promotes the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms of endothelial progenitor cells via regulating miR-204-5p/Ang-1.

Purpose null To clarify the regulatory effect of Nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) model rats and isolated endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). null Methods null The AAA rat model was established by CaCl2 stimulation, and overexpressed NEAT1 was injected into rats through tail vein. Abdominal aorta lesions and numbers of EPCs in tissues and peripheral blood were examined by hematoxylin-eosin,...
