MiR-26 decreases atherosclerosis development in vivo by suppressing the expression of multiple genes, including ACC1, ACC2, ACLY, ACSL3, ACSL4, ALDH3A2, ALPL, BMP2, CD36, COL1A1, CPT1A, CTGF, DGAT2, EHHADH, FAS, FBP1, GATA4, GSK3β, G6PC, Gys2, HMGA1, HMGB1, LDLR, LIPC, IL-1β, IL-6, JAG2, KCNJ2, MALT1, β-MHC, NF-κB, PCK1, PLCβ1, PYGL, RUNX2, SCD1, SMAD1, SMAD4, SMAD5, SMAD7, SREBF1, TAB3, TAK1, TCF7L2, and TNF-α. Here, EHHADH is linked to atherosclerosis.
