Involvement of miR-106b in endothelial cells-mediated angiogenesis / 中华老年心脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study whether miR-106b is involved in endothelial cells-mediated angio-genesis .Methods miR-106b cultured and transfected with endothelial cells was divided into miR-106b group ,blank control group and positive control group .RNA was extracted from miR-106b .The transfection efficiency was confirmed by inverse transcription .Endothelial cell tubes formed in matrigel were observed .Apoptosis of transfected miR-106b was assayed by TUNEL assay .Target genes of miR-106b were detected .Expressions of miR-106b and candidate genes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot ,respectively .Results The number of endothe-lial cell tubes formed in matrigel was significantly less in miR-106b group than in blank control group and positive control group .The ratio of formed tubes ,signal transduction and mRNA ex-pression level were significantly lower in miR-106b group than in positive control group ( P0 .05) .Conclusion miR-106b inhibits endothelial cells-medi-ated angiogenesis by down-regulating the signal transduction and STAT 3 ,which is not directly re-lated with VEGFA .
