HIF1A and VEGF regulate each other by competing endogenous RNA mechanism and involve in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis.

HIF1A and VEGF could regulate each other in peritoneal mesothelial cell in the mediation of miR-17-5p and 3'UTR, indicating HIF1A and VEGF might regulate each other through competing endogenous RNA mechanism in the development of peritoneal fibrosis.
