Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: High mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions. However, its role in vascular system is unknown. In this study, we explore whether the inhibition of HMGB1 attenuates neointimal formation in animal models. METHODS AND RESULTS: Experiments were performed with VSMCs from thoracic aorta of SD rats in vitro, and a rat carotid artery balloon injury model in vivo. HMGB1...
