VEGFA and systemic sclerosis: Moreover, tube assembly formation assay analysis showed that overexpression of miR‐126 in SSc‐MVECs increased VEGF angiogenic response (Figure 4D), with significantly increased tube length to 380.71 ± 36.24 μM from 66.73 ± 8.16 μM in SSc‐MVECs/ctr‐miR/VEGF (Figure 4E; P < 0.01).
