Fig. 6From: IL-1β promotes A7r5 and HASMC migration and invasion via the p38-MAPK/Angpt-2 pathwaySchematic diagram of IL-1β regulating the invasion and migration of A7r5 and HASMCs. IL-1β activates the p38-MAPK pathway in cells, and the activation of p38-MAPK promotes the expression of Angpt-2, which further activates MMP2 and MMP9 and promotes their secretion. The release of MMP2, MMP9 promotes the invasion and migration of A7r5 and HASMCBack to article page
