Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) worldwide [
1,
2]. In addition to the influence of lifestyle, several artery cellular dysfunctions are linked to the development of atherosclerosis [
3]. The sub-endothelial macrophages, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and endothelial cells (ECs) are the most important agents involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques in the heart arteries [
4,
5]. Furthermore, the degree of cellular dysfunction is mediated by inflammatory events. The endothelial cells of arterial vessels trigger the leukocyte rolling process through the adhesion molecules. After the entrance of leukocytes mainly monocytes and T lymphocytes, immune-attractant and chemo-attractant reactions follow the progressive occurrences for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in vessel sub-endothelial space causing the vessel micro-anatomical alterations and developing the extracellular matrix remodeling events [
6]. The thrombotic problems during the progression of the atherosclerosis process may arise plaque ruptures led to vessel stenosis [
7‐
9]. Many molecular and genetic studies have found that certain regulatory abnormalities in cellular signaling pathways lead to atherosclerosis. It is well known that miRNAs regulate the function of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and modulate the inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells so that these events affect vessel stenosis and restenosis [
10‐
13]. Moreover, the miRNAs have been discovered as potential therapeutic targets and clinical biomarkers in coronary artery diseases [
14]. In VSMCs, miRNAs influence gene expression levels and control cellular signaling pathways [
15‐
22]. A review of the roles of miRNAs in endothelial cell homeostasis has been published [
23]. The miRNAs are also said to have many roles in the functional balance of vascular endothelial cells and circulating leucocytes via biological pathways and inflammatory responses [
24].
According to the aforementioned descriptions, adhesion molecules facilitate leukocyte recruitment via the rolling process, which is a crucial phase in vascular stenosis and restenosis [
25,
26]. Moreover, many studies also suggested that miRNAs influence the gene expression levels of adhesion molecules [
27]. Based on miRNA-related databases, we projected miR-125a-5p and miR-495-3p and examined their impacts on ICAM1, ICAM2, VCAM1, and ITGB2 gene expression levels isolated from human aortic endothelial cells.
