Antioxidants that prevent low density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidation may inhibit atherosclerosis and post-angioplasty restenosis. Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) has been shown to inhibit LDL oxidation and reduce atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed rabbits. The effects of SM on neointimal hyperplasia and
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9 and MMP-2) production and smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration may play key roles in the phathogenesis of neointima formation and atherosclerosis. Especially inducible MMP-9 expression was directly involved in the cancer cell invasion and SMC migration through vascular
Apoptosis has been suggested to participate in stabilizing cell number in restenosis. Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) Bunge which is a Chinese herb widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders contains a potent antioxidant, Salvianolic acid B. To determine whether the antioxidant affects
The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic role of Tanshinone II A, a key integrant from salvia miltiorrhiza, against pathological vascular remodeling. Completed ligation of mouse left common carotid arteries animal model and rat smooth muscle cells used to investigate the role of
Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a water-soluble compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza that has been widely used to treat cardiovascular diseases for hundreds of years in China, exerts cardiovascular protection by multiple mechanisms. miR-146a is involved in vascular smooth muscle Accumulation of foam cells in the neointima represents a key event in atherosclerosis. We previously demonstrated that Tanshinone IIA (Tan), a lipophilic bioactive compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, inhibits experimental atherogenesis, yet the detailed mechanisms are not fully
