MiR-322-5p blocks FAM3B-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. VSMCs were infected with adenoviruses expressing EGFP or FAM3B for 36 h. Prior to the virus infection, negative control (NC) mimic or miR-322-5p mimic was transfected into VSMCs for 12 h when indicated. (A) Determination of cell proliferation by the EdU incorporation assay. (B) Determination of cell migration by the wound-healing assay. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 vs. Ad-EGFP/NC mimic, ## P < 0.01 vs. Ad-FAM3B/NC mimic. (C,D) Protein expression levels of key regulators involved in the cell cycle progression (C), cell migration and adhesion (D).
