Endothelial MicroRNA-483-3p Is Hypertension-Protective

Figure 1

The serum miR-483-3p level is associated with the progression of hypertension in patients. Serum (a) miR-483-3p and (b) miR-483-5p levels in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension (HTN₁, ) and healthy controls (HC, ), measured by qPCR. The qPCR analysis of serum (c) miR-483-3p and (d) miR-483-5p levels in patients with a history of hypertension for more than 15 years (HTN₂, ) and healthy controls (HC, ). Caenorhabditis elegans miR-39 (cel-39) was used as an internal spike-in control. Data are shown as . Student’s two-tailed test was used for statistical analysis. , .
