Ginkgolide B Blocks Vascular Remodeling after Vascular Injury via Regulating Tgfβ1/Smad Signaling Pathway by Quan Wang, Shuai Ni, Li Ling, Siqi Wang, Hanbin Xie, Zhanhong Ren

“…Additional experiments reveal that GB exerts a protective effect on vascular remodeling and further restenosis through modulation of the Tgfβ1/Smad signaling pathway in vivo and in human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMAs) but not in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Moreover, the beneficial effect of GB is abolished after incubated with pirfenidone (PFD, a drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF), which can inhibit Tgfβ1. …”
