VCAM1 and atherosclerosis: The aim of the present study was (1) to observe the impact of laminar flow on human endothelial cell morphology and cytoskeleton distribution, (2) to analyze its effect on miR-126, adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), and syndecans (SDC-1, SDC-4), and (3) to study the miR-126 and SDC-4 levels in mice model of atherosclerosis with CKD.
