LRRFIP1 and atherosclerosis: They also showed that the injury of a rat carotid artery induced a microRNA, miR-132, which is supposed to target to LRRFIP1/GCF2, and that transfection of miR-132 mimic significantly inhibited the proliferation of VSMC and blocked neointimal hyperplasia after the carotid injury, indicating the potential use of miR-132 in the prevention of the neointimal hyperplasia after balloon injury and of atherosclerosis.
