Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from type 2 diabetic db/db mice exhibit enhanced proinflammatory responses implicated in accelerated vascular complications. We examined the role of microRNA(miR)-200 family members and their target Zeb1, an E-box binding transcriptional repressor, in these events.
