MicroRNA-30b Regulates High Phosphorus Level-Induced Autophagy in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells by Targeting BECN1

Background/Aims: Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that affects the survival and functions of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating autophagy in VSMCs exposed to high phosphorus (Pi) levels. Methods: VSMCs were isolated from t...
