GPR132 antagonists alleviate atherosclerosis by suppressing M1 polarization and subsequent VSMCs proliferation and migration as revealed by transcriptomic profiling
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with substantial global prevalence, wherein macrophage polarization and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotypic switching are critical pathogenic events. Although G protein-coupled receptor 132 (GPR132) is markedly expressed in macrophages, its specific ro...
