Results Rapamycin made the expression and activation of KLF2 strongly reduce by 75.6% and 78.2% so as to induce long-term coronary endothelial dysfunction. In HUVECs, rapamycin made basal eNOS and t-PA decrease by 80% and 87.8%, while making basal PAI-1 and TF increase by 2.5 and 1.5-fold. After treatment by statins (especially lovastatin), the expression of KLF2 was increased by 3.8-fold nearly reversing to normal state. Conclusions Taken together, these observations indicate that
