MicroRNA-205 Regulates the Calcification and Osteoblastic Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Objectives: We investigated the role of miR-205 in the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods: Osteogenic differentiation of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) was induced by 10 mM β-glycerophosphate (β-GP). Alizarin Red S staining, alkaline phosphatase (A...
