Fig. 3From: MiR-106b exhibits an anti-angiogenic function by inhibiting STAT3 expression in endothelial cells a, b Signaling pathway obtained from KEGG database and schematic diagram of searching candidate target genes. a Among all the pathway, we could easily find the genes associated with angiogenesis, which are, respectively, MAPK14, JAK1, STAT1, STAT3, and VEGF. b We merged genes derived from bioinformatics algorithms, genes proven by literatures and famous angiogenesis-related genes to confirm the final candidate target genes, which are VEGFA, JAK1, STAT3 and MAPK14 Back to article page
