MicroRNA-146a Promotes Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation towards Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells through Regulation of Kruppel-like Factor 4

Investigators determine the role of miR-146a in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation from ESCs. Mouse ESCs were differentiated into VSMCs, and the cell extracts were analyzed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR.
