Abstract excerpt
Objective: To investigate whether CD137 induces primary vascular muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotype transformation through activating nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1(NFATc1) signaling. Methods: VSMCs were obtained from aorta of C57BL/6J mice (8 weeks, male) through tissue-piece inoculating. Cells were divided into control group, CD137 agonist group (treated with CD137L recombinant protein) and anti-CD137 group...
