摘要:

血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)是血管壁重要的细胞组分,对于维持血管正常生理功能发挥重要作用。VSMCs具有高度的可塑性,异常的VSMCs表型转化促进多种心血管疾病的发生发展。近年来儿童心血管健康问题日益突出,给社会经济发展带来了沉重的负担。文章对VSMCs表型转化在川崎病、动脉瘤、原发性高血压、肺动脉高压、主动脉缩窄和多发性大动脉炎等儿童心血管疾病中的研究进行总结,为儿童心血管疾病的防治提供潜在靶点。

Abstract:

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are predominant constituents of the vessel walls and contribute to maintaining vascular function of the blood vessels. VSMC phenotypic switching from a quiescent contractile phenotype to a proliferative and migratory phenotype induced by several pathological stimulations, which is involved in the pathogenesis of a serious cardiovascular disease (CVDs). In recent years, cardiovascular health in children has become an increasingly prominent problem, posing a heavy burdens on economic development. In this review, we summarized the research on VSMCs phenotypic switching in pediatric CVDs such as Kawasaki disease, aneurysm, primary hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, coarctation of the aorta, and Takayasu arteritis, which is aim to provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of CVDs in children.
