Abstract excerpt
The proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is one of main reasons of vascular remodeling and is the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is the specific receptor of capsaicin. TRPV1 has been previously reported to inhibit proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching, but the regulatory mechanisms and...
