Abstract:Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the pathological basis of acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, and other acute critical illnesses. Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic transformation plays a remarkable role in the occurrence and development of AS. Previous studies have found that GSK3β-TCF21 is a key signaling pathway regulating VSMC phenotypic transformation. Baicalin is an important herbal monomer for cardiovascular protection, but whether it can regulate the GSK3β-TCF21 signaling pathway … Show more
