Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We detected that the IL-1Ra present in both bone marrow (BM)-derived cells and non-BM cells helps to suppress arterial inflammation and promote re-endothelialization, thus resulting in decreased neointimal formation and development of aneurysm. These novel findings shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the development of aneurysm. We also revealed that a dipeptidyl‐peptidase‐4 inhibitor appeared to suppress neointimal formation by inhibiting inflammation, independently of its effects on glucose or cholesterol metabolism in mice. We have published these articles.
