High Mobility Group Box 1 Mediates TMAO-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction
22 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The molecular mechanisms of how TMAO induces atherosclerosis and CVDs' progression are still unclear. In this regard, high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), an inflammatory mediator, has been reported to disrupt cell-cell junctions, resulting in vascular endothelial...
