miR-217 mimic reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines, as evidenced by the decreases of mRNA expressions of F4/80 (a), TNF-α (b), IL-1 (c), IL-6 (d) and MCP-1 (e), in atherosclerotic models of ApoE−/− mice. qRT-PCR was used to test inflammatory cytokine genes in the aorta. N = 5 mice, **p < 0.01 vs. AS group
