Inhibitory effect of recombinant human CXCL8(3-72)K11R/G31P on atherosclerotic plaques in a mouse model of atherosclerosis.

Conclusions: These findings indicate the potential therapeutic effects of G31P in suppressing the development of atherosclerosis by antagonizing the IL-8 receptor. G31P inhibits the proliferation and migration of VSMCs through regulating the Rho-kinase, ERK, and calcium-dependent pathways. PMID: 31124391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
