摘要
内皮间质转化(endothelial-mesenchymal transition,EndMT)是指在多项影响因素的作用下,内皮细胞的结构和功能向间质细胞转变。研究显示在内皮的功能调节、心肌细胞、血管及心脏瓣膜等的发育和结构重塑等方面都有EndMT参与,表明心血管疾病领域在该方面投入更多研究的意义逐渐凸显。了解EndMT过程中信号转导通路,有助于进一步认识EndMT引起心肌纤维化(myocardial fibrosis,MF)的机制,为探索干预MF的治疗方案提供更多依据。
Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) results from the induction of some transcription factors, leading to a shift in cytoskeletal dynamics and a change of morphology and physiology from epithelial to the mesenchymal phenotype. Previous studies in recent years showed that EndMT participates in endothelial function regulation, development and remodeling of myocardial cells, vascular and heart valves, which indicates the essence of research on EndMT in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, to understand the mechanisms and signal pathways of EndMT may provide therapeutic strategies and perspective for treating the diseases.
