VEGFA and infection: They do however show that infection of lymphatic endothelial cells with Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) resulted in significant downregulation of miR-30b and miR-30c, and given that it is known that KSHV is a potent inducer of VEGF expression [52], these findings are in line with ours suggesting that VEGF stimulation downregulates miR-30b.
