Expression of miR-128-3p during AS development. a qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-128-3p in serum of healthy subjects and AS patients. b qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-128-3p in VSMCs treated with different concentrations of ox-LDL for 24 h. c qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-128-3p in VSMCs after treatment with 100 mg/L ox-LDL for different times. d, e qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-128-3p in the serum (d) and carotid vascular smooth muscle (e) of the mice in different groups. *, **, *** represent p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001, respectively
