Knockdown of CDCP1 Inhibits ox-LDL-Induced Phenotypic Transition and Lipid Accumulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells via Downregulating the ITGB4/PI3K/AKT Pathway
This study demonstrates that knocking down CDCP1 inhibits ox-LDL-induced vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic transition and lipid accumulation in atherosclerosis by destabilizing ITGB4 mRNA, thereby suppressing the ITGB4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
