     recently, the molecular mechanism responsible for the instability of atherosclerotic plaques has gradually become a hot topic among researchers and clinicians. matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) play an important role in the processes of formation and development of atherosclerosis. in this study, we established and employed the transwell co-culture system of rabbit aortic endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells to explore the relationship between fibrin (fb), fibrinogen (fg), and/or their degradation products (fdps) in relation to the instability of atherosclerotic plaques; meanwhile, we observed the effects of fg, fb, and fdps on the mrna levels of mmps and vegf as well as on the activation of nuclear factor-kappa b (nf-κb). we concluded that fb, fg, and fdps are involved in the progression of the instability of atherosclerotic plaques via increasing the expression of mmps and vegf. this effect might be mediated by the nf-кb pathway.
