ZEB1 and atherosclerosis: They demonstrated that exo-lncRNA ZEB1-AS1 derived from ox-LDL-induced HUVECs amplified cell injuries by miR-590-5p/ ETS1 (E26 oncogene homolog 1) axis through the TGF-β/Smad pathway, suggesting that stopping ZEB1-AS1 might be an efficient strategy to treat atherosclerosis (240).
