Abstract

Mechanisms controlling vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) plasticity and renewal still remain to be elucidated completely. A class of small RNAs called microRNAs (miRs) regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we show a critical role of the miR-143/145 cluster in SMC differentiation and vascular pathogenesis, also through the generation of a mouse model of miR-143 and -145 knockout (KO). We determined that the expression of miR-143 and -145 is decreased in acute and chronic vascular stress (transverse aortic constriction and in aortas of the ApoE KO mouse). In human aortic aneurysms, the expression of miR-143 and -145 was significantly decreased compared with control aortas. In addition, overexpression of miR-143 and -145 decreased neointimal formation in a rat model of acute vascular injury. An in-depth analysis of the miR-143/145 KO mouse model showed that this miR cluster is expressed mostly in the SMC compartment, both during development and postnatally, in vessels and SMC-containing organs. Loss of miR-143 and miR-145 expression induces structural modifications of the aorta, because of an incomplete differentiation of VSMCs. In conclusion, our results show that the miR-143/145 gene cluster has a critical role during SMC differentiation and strongly suggest its involvement in the reversion of the VSMC differentiation phenotype that occurs during vascular disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
