FIGURE 1 The main hazards of atherosclerosis. The atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and peripheral vascular disease.
FIGURE 2 Active monomers of traditional Chinese medicine improve the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis through regulating ncRNAs in endothelial cells. PTEN phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten, TLR4 toll-like receptor 4, MyD88 myeloid differentiation primary response 88, TRAF6 TNF receptor-associated factor 6, NF-κB nuclear factor kappa-B, SIRT1 sirtuin-1, DDAH1 dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1, EZH2 enhancer of zeste homolog 2, p53 tumor protein p53, Smad3 sma- and mad-related protein 3, STAT3 signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, TET2 tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2.
FIGURE 3 Active monomers of traditional Chinese medicine improve the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis through regulating ncRNAs in macrophages. MKP-1 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1, ABCA1 ATP-binding cassette transporter A1, WNT5A wingless/integrated-5A, KLF4 krüppel-like factor 4, SIRT6 sirtuin 6.
FIGURE 4 Active monomers of traditional Chinese medicine improve the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis through regulating ncRNAs in vascular smooth muscle cells.
