Human vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are categorized into two groups; pro-stenotic (Type-I) and anti-stenotic (Type-II) ECs, and one of the master genes for a stress-induced “Type-II-to-Type-I” degeneration is Regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5). Here we show that miR-10b is a crucial downstream mediator in RGS5-dependent degeneration. We also demonstrated the miR-10bhigh Type-I EC exosome has a trans effect which suppresses anti-proliferative abilities of Type-II ECs.
