Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor, a major anti-hyperglycaemic agent, has received substantial attention as a possible therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. However, the direct molecular mechanisms through which DPP-IV inhibitor mediates anti-inflammatory effects in vascular endothelial cells have not been clarified. The effects of the DPP-IV inhibitor, gemigliptin, were analysed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE...
