To achieve this, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from rat thoracic aorta were isolated and identified using immunofluorescence.

Immunofluorescence results indicated that most VSMCs expressed vimentin, with a proliferation rate of 48.5% in VSMCs treated with 100 nM angiotensin-II, confirming successful isolation and model construction of HVSMC.

This review examines the molecular mechanisms underlying NRF2 role in atherosclerosis, focusing on the recently defined intricate interplay between autophagy, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway, microRNAs (miRNAs), and genes regulating NRF2 with atheroprotective effects. The NRF2/autophagy axis emerges as a critical regulator of cellular responses to oxidative stress and inflammation in atherosclerosis, with key players including Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90), Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and Glutaredoxin 2 (GLRX2). MiRNAs are identified as potent regulators of gene expression in atherosclerosis, impacting NRF2 signalling and disease susceptibility. Additionally, genes such as Prenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2 (PDSS2), Sulfiredoxin1 (Srxn1), and Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) are implicated in NRF2-dependent atheroprotective pathways. Future research directions include elucidating the complex interactions between these molecular pathways, evaluating novel therapeutic targets in preclinical and clinical settings, and addressing challenges related to drug delivery and patient heterogeneity.

The aim of this study was to determine the role of Tor1aip1 gene in PRAD development and its mechanism.
