Acetylation regulatory mechanism of vascular aging / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Protein acetylation extensively regulates fundamental biological process, such as cardiovascular homeostasis and tu-morigenesis. Mechanism of protein acetylation and its abnormal changes during diseases has become one of the basic questions in medical research. Vascular aging is inseparable from the occur-rence and development of senile hypertension and coronary ather-osclerosis. Endothelial cell senescence plays a key role during this process. This paper reviews the research progress in acetyla-tion regulation during vascular aging, and the prospects of the re-search in this field.
