Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a key role in atherosclerosis. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. HHcy induces phenotypic switching of VSMCs, but the mechanism is unclear. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) promotes proliferation and migration of VSMCs by inducing phenotypic switching during atherosclerosis. This review examined recent findings on...
