VEGFA and ischemic stroke: Moreover, elevated levels of SNHG12 promoted the recovery of neuronal function, decreased infarct volume and miR-150 expression, and increased vessel density and VEGF levels in the mice model of ischemic stroke, proposing that SNHG12 acts as a neuroprotective lncRNA in ischemic stroke through the stimulation of angiogenesis and regulation of SNHG12/miR-150/VEGF axis [60].
