CUL5-Mediated Visfatin (NAMPT) Degradation Blocks Endothelial Proliferation and Angiogenesis via the MAPK/PI3K-AKT Signaling

In conclusion, CUL5 interacts with NAMPT in H2O2-stimulated HCAECs, suppressing cell viability, promoting cell apoptosis, and inhibiting cell mobility and tube formation. NAMPT overexpression protects against H2O2-induced HCAEC dysfunction by promoting cell viability, inhibiting cell apoptosis, and enhancing cell mobility and tube formation.
