Cover Story: Angiogenesis, as well as estrogen, is associated with cancer/tumor growth/progression. Our study uncovers a novel mechanism by which estradiol (E2) promotes human vascular endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. We show that E2, via estrogen receptor /α/, post-transcriptionally downregulates anti-angiogenic microRNA-193a-3p levels, thereby activating PI3K/Akt–VEGF and ALK1/ID1 pathways. In vitro, miR-193a-3p suppression mimicked E2's pro-angiogenic effects, while its overexpression abrogated them. In vivo, miR-193a-3p mimic inhibited E2-induced capillary formation, highlighting miR-193a-3p as a potential therapeutic small molecule to target angiogenesis- and endothelial-driven pathologies. View this paper
