In recent years, numerous studies have identified survivin, a key player in the anti-apoptotic pathway, to be extensively involved in modulating cellular functioning in cancer, with many reaching clinical trials. Though seemingly different, CVDs and cancer share abundant similarities regarding abnormal cell modifications and behaviors. This overlap has sparked growing interest in investigating survivin as a therapeutic target in the context of CVD. With new findings emerging rapidly, a comprehensive understanding of survivin's role in cardiovascular pathology is crucial to revealing its full therapeutic potential and translating these discoveries into effective treatments. This review discusses recent findings of survivin in CVDs and related pathologies, focusing on its dual role in promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, specifically in atherosclerosis, neointimal hyperplasia, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Across different cell types and pathological contexts, survivin plays a pivotal role throughout the disease progression–from the onset of disease development to the facilitation of compensatory mechanisms post-injury–primarily through its function in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, given the limited research on survivin as a therapeutic target for CVDs, potential clinical avenues, including YM155 (a survivin inhibitor) or adenoviral, adeno-associated, and lentiviral vectors, are also discussed. Overall, this review highlights survivin as a promising target for mitigating the detrimental effects of CVDs and to provide new perspectives to advance research on the intervention of CVDs and associated pathologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23949,"journal":{"name":"Vascular pharmacology","volume":"159 ","pages":"Article 107475"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory study assessed the Zn and Cu levels in the serum and aortic valves of AS patients undergoing surgical valve replacement and explored the relationships between trace elements and clinical and biochemical parameters to better understand their potential roles in AS pathophysiology. An inverse relationship was observed between serum Zn levels and systolic pressure gradients across the valve (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.0001).
