Metformin attenuates hyperglycaemia-stimulated pro-fibrotic gene expression in vascular adventitial fibroblasts via inhibition of Discoidin Domain Receptor 2
2022-10-24
Abstract excerpt
Molecular mechanisms underlying the diverse therapeutic effects of anti-diabetic metformin, beyond its anti-hyperglycaemic effects, remain largely unclear. Metformin is reported to reduce the long-term complications of diabetes, including cardiovascular fibrosis and remodelling. Our recent investigations show that Discoidin Domain Receptor 2 (DDR2), a collagen receptor tyrosine kinase, has an obligate regulatory r...
