Elevated levels of plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) lead to endothelial dysfunction, a process that is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EndMT) has been reported to accelerate endothelial dysfunction during the process of atherosclerosis. However, the underlying mechanisms of EndMT remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the role of the cytosolic DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator interferon gene (cGAS-STING) pathway in palmitic acid (PA)-induced EndMT. Human aortic
