The polysaccharide–peptide complex from mushroom Cordyceps militaris ameliorates atherosclerosis by modulating the lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA axis

. Of importance, CMPS-80 significantly ameliorated formation of atherosclerotic lesions and plasma lipid profiles in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Integrated informatics analysis suggested that CMPS-80 can modulate multiple lncRNA-microRNA-mRNA axes. CMPS-80 has a potential application for prevention of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
