Open AccessBRD4770 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation via SUV39H2, but not EHMT2 to protect against neointima formation
The behavior of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the formation of neointima. We previously found that EHMT2 suppressed autophagy activation in VSMCs. BRD4770, an inhibitor of EHMT2/G9a, play...

Prolonged hypoxia alleviates prolyl hydroxylation-mediated suppression of RIPK1 to promote necroptosis and inflammation
The prolyl hydroxylation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) mediated by the EGLN–pVHL pathway represents a classic signalling mechanism that mediates cellular adaptation under hypoxia. Here we identify RI...
