Conversely to miR-199a-5p decrease during hypoxia, we showed that hypoxia upregulated ABCA1 mRNA and protein levels in peritoneal macrophages, as well as other genes implicated in atherosclerosis, including ABCG1 or Cav-1 (34) and other potential predicted targets related to this pathology. This evidence concerns the gene CAV1 and atherosclerosis.
