We investigated their regulatory mechanisms on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration.Angiotensin (Ang) II-induced VSMCs were used for in vitro research. The MYOSLID and miR-29c-3p expression patterns in VSMCs were assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. MYOSLID was overexpressed, or miR-29c-3p was silenced in VSMCs by cell transfection, followed by proliferation, migration, and apoptosis evaluation. The colocalization of MYOSLID and miR-29c-3p was observed by RNA in situ hybridization. The targeted binding relationship of miR-29c-3p and MYOSLID was verified by dual-luciferase and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Joint experiments were performed with the overexpressed MYOSLID and miR-29c-3p via cotransfection. An ATH mouse model was established and injected with LV-MYOSLID, with the aortic root atherosclerotic lesion observed by HE staining and the α-SMA expression determined by immunohistochemistry.The MYOSLID expression was decreased, while the miR-29c-3p expression was increased in the Ang II-induced VSMCs, along with the promoted VSMC proliferation, apoptosis, and migration.
