Mechanisms by which SO2 attenuates VSR. SO2 attenuates VSR by inhibiting proliferation of VSMCs, promoting apoptosis, inhibiting the synthesis of extracellular collagen, promoting the degradation of extracellular collagen, and increasing the antioxidative capacity. SO2: sulfur dioxide; VSMCs: vascular smooth muscle cells; ECM: extracellular matrix; ROS: reactive oxygen species.
