HCD-induced tsRNA-Arg-CCG affects proatherogenic gene expression in endothelial cells in vitro.
Comparision:
HCD VS LCD
Mechanism:
Interestingly, we found that overexpression of synthetic tsRNA-Arg-CCG led to increased expression of several proatherogenic genes, including IL-6, IL-1α, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MCP-1 in HMEC-1 cells (Fig. 6C). Therefore, tsRNA-Arg-CCG may have proatherogenic properties in vivo, which warrants further investigation.
