TWEAK/Fn14 axis may promote vascular smooth muscle cell senescence via p38 signaling pathway: preliminary evidence by Chunyang Wei, Xiaoying Liu, Zhuang Miao, Hua Zhang, Yanfu Wang, Guoxian Qi

“…Additionally, the role of p38 phosphorylation pathway in the effect of TWEAK on VSMCs senescence was assessed.Results Expressions of TWEAK and Fn14 were significantly elevated in senescent VSMCs. TWEAK activated the p38 phosphorylation pathway and promoted the SA-β-gal staining and P53 expression.Conclusion These preliminary findings suggest that the TWEAK/Fn14 axis may play a crucial role in promoting VSMC senescence.…”
