Restoration of 5-methoxytryptophan protects against atherosclerotic chondrogenesis and calcification in ApoE −/− mice fed high fat diet
Abstract Background Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) promotes vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) transdifferentiation to chondrocytes and calcification in a p38 MAPK-dependent manner. Vascular 5-methoxytryptophan (5-MTP) is a newly identified factor with anti-inflammatory actions. As 5-MTP targets p38 MA...
