Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contractile- synthetic phenotypic conversion takes responsibility in the atherosclerotic plaque formation by abnormal synthesis, secretion and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrine exerts therapeutic effects on both cardiovascular diseases and organ fibrosis. In this study, we investigated matrine's inhibitory effect and mechanisms on AGEs- induced VSMC...
