Curcumin inhibits proliferation, migration and neointimal formation of vascular smooth muscle via activating miR-22.

Conclusion: miR-22 is involved in the inhibitory effects of curcumin on VSMCs' proliferation, migration and neointima hyperplasia after arterial balloon injury in rats. Curcumin could be used to prevent neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty. PMID: 32631202 [PubMed - in process]
