Uremic Serum Alters Gene Expression Profiles and Signaling Pathway Activity in Porcine Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells
Uremic conditions are common in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. Accelerated vascular diseases in uremic patients lead to heart failure, stroke, and hypertension. To investigate the effects of uremia on porcine arterial smooth muscle cells (aSMCs), bulk RNA sequencing was used to identify uremia-induced altera...
