Abstract
TNFα down-modulated miR-149 level in Eahy926 and HUVEC. This effect was significantly abolished in Eahy926 by treatment with p38MAPK inhibitor. miR-149 mimic transfection counteracted the TNFα-induced expression of MMP-9, iNOS and IL-6. No effect was detected on IL-8 expression. Our results suggest that miR-149 represents an important new regulator of endothelial function through negative regulation of molecules associated with TNFα-induced endothelial dysfunction.
