Why the study?
It was unknown whether miR155-5p inhibits cell migration and oxidative stress in vascular smooth muscle cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats and in angiotensin II-treated cells.

miR155-5p effects in SHR VSMCs are hypothesis-generating; human studies needed before clinical consideration.
Does miR155-5p inhibit cell migration and oxidative stress in vascular smooth muscle cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats?
miR155-5p inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats by suppressing ACE expression, highlighting a potential regulatory mechanism in hypertensive vascular remodeling.
