Zhang et al. have affirmed that decreased miR-194 is related with the malignant proliferation of abdominal aortic aneurysm, and KDM3A, a target of miR-194, serves as a tumor promoter which promotes the progression of the tumor via mediating the activation of BNIP3 [22]. Here, BNIP3 is linked to abdominal aortic aneurysm.
