Abstract
We focused on the human coronary arteries with atherosclerotic plaques. The expression of ET-1, as well as its upstream miRNAs, was determined. Unlike any of previous study regarding miRNAs expression, we could exclude the discrepancy of artery-bed-specific miRNA expression. Besides, our data indicated, to some degree, that ET-1 might play a more vital role than Ang II in coronary atherosclerosis.
