miR-155 Promotes ox-LDL-Induced Autophagy in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

<div>miR-155 promotes autophagosome and autolysosome accumulation. After transfection with miR-155 mimics, miR-155 inhibitors, and miR-155 NC, cells were exposed to 100 <i>μ</i>g/ml ox-LDL for 6 h and collected for TEM analysis. Autophagosomes were indicated by arrows. Autolysosomes were indicated by asterisks. N: nucleus. Scale bar = 500 nm.</div>
