Chavez RJ, Haney RM, Cuadra RH, Ganguly R, Adapala RK, Thodeti CK, Raman P. Upregulation of thrombospondin-1 expression by leptin in vascular smooth muscle cells via JAK2-and MAPKdependent pathways. Hyperleptinemia, characteristic of diabetes and a hallmark feature of human obesity, contributes to the increased risk of atherosclerotic complications. However, molecular mechanisms mediating leptininduced atherogenesis and gene expression in vascular cells remain incompletely understood.
