Our finding that miR-29b-3p was downregulated in vascular calcification was consistent with the results of Du et al. [42], who reported that miR-29b-3p inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by decreasing the target genes disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-7 (ADAMTS-7) expression, in an inorganic phosphorus and chronic kidney disease-induced rat calcification model. This evidence concerns the gene ADAMTS7 and chronic kidney disease.
