Advances in research on TGF-β and its relationship with coronary heart disease and relevant drugs
coronary heart disease has become a significant threat to the health of Chinese people with its continuously increasing incidence rate. Research has shown that transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)plays a crucial role in the development and progression of coronary heart disease. It mainly regulates cell growth
promotes tissue fibrosis
and inhibits inflammation. In addition
a large number of drugs for the treatment of coronary heart disease are related to TGF-β. This article reviews the relationship between TGF-β and coronary heart disease as well as its therapeutic drugs(including Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine) in recent years
and provides a reference and basis for traditional Chinese and Western medical workers to treat and study this disease.
