Upregulated LncRNA H19 Sponges MiR-106a-5p and Contributes to Aldosterone-Induced Vascular Calcification via Activating the Runx2-Dependent Pathway

The authors induced in vivo rat model of chronic kidney disease using a high adenine and phosphate diet to explore the relationship among aldosterone, mineralocorticoid receptor, H19, and vascular calcification.
