Cardiac-and cerebral vascular diseases are the number one killer of human beings.Among these diseases, atherosclerosis represents the majority of underlying pathological alterations which cause the de
Aims: We previously have reported that miR-222 was necessary for exercise-induced cardiac growth and protected against pathological cardiac remodeling.However, the role of other miRNAs in this process
Objectives: G-quadruplexes (G4) are non-canonical nucleotide secondary structures formed by stacks of guanine tetrads.The function of G4 in gene coding regions has been extensively studied, however, l
Vascular repair is an endogenous defense mechanism after ischemic disease such as stroke and myocardial infarction.Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a well-known coenzyme involved in electron t
Objectives: Being abundantly expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells,large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKca) channels significantly contribute to the control of vascular tone.
Objectives: Bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) is an important mediator of endothelial dysfunction in cardio-metabolic diseases while platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are major angiogenic and pr
Objectives: In hypertension, elevated blood pressure results in high cyclic stretch, which causes abnormal paracrine of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and induced abnormal proliferation of endot
Vascular calcification significantly increases cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.We recently reported that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a normal vascular extracellular matr
Objectives: A salient feature of chronic β3-adrenergic agonist activation is pronounced remodeling of white adipose tissue (WAT), which includes the transformation of the lipid vacuole from unilocular
Objectives: Osteoglycin (OGN) has been noted for implications in cardiovascular diseases in recent studies, particularly its correlation with cardiac remodeling.However, the relationship between OGN a
