The micro RNA (miRNA) of non-coding RNA bind to a target mRNA after transcription of the gene and restrain the translation. It has been clarified that this gene silencing mechanism is processed among various species from plant to mammalian widely. Especially, it is thought that miRNA plays an important role on the way of the cell differentiation. The regulation of gene expression for two phenotypes (contraction and proliferation) of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) is not well known. We established that the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and sodium butyrate (NaB) stimulated de-differentiation and differentiation of VSMC, respectively. The regulation of gene expression required for the above two phenotypic modulations is not well known. We found the up-regulated miRNA by using microarray from each two phenotype of VSMC to induce with these medicines. The two up-regulated miRNA according to the de-differentiation stimulated the cell migration.
