An intronic miRNA regulates expression of the human endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and proliferation of endothelial cells by a mechanism related to the transcription factor SP-1.

OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the 27nt-miRNA-mediated regulation of expression of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene. METHODS: Cell lines overexpressing 27nt-miRNA or its mutant were established by transfecting the miRNA expression vector...
