Elevated Uric Acid Levels Promote Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMC) Proliferation via an Nod-Like Receptor Protein 3 (NLRP3)-Inflammasome-Dependent Mechanism

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia has a pathogenic role in the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Uric acid has been reported to activate Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)-inflammasome and alter vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). However, the potential mechanisms underl...
