Hsa_circ_0024093 accelerates VSMC proliferation via miR-4677-3p/miR-889-3p/USP9X/YAP1 axis in in vitro model of lower extremity ASO

Arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremities is identified as a kind of cardiovascular disease with aberrant proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Accumulating studies have demonstrated the vital role of Yes1-associated transcriptional regulator (YAP1) in VSMCs, while its upstream regulatory mechanism in VSMCs in ASO of the lower extremities needs to be further elucidated. Herein, hsa_circ_0024093, a...
