Patients with chronic inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis have an increased risk of cardiovasculardisease and elevated levels of LL37, a cathelicidin host defense peptide that has both antimicrobial and proinflammatory properties.
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 12 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-023-00984-x In this Review, Fredman and Serhan discuss the role of specialized pro-resolving mediators, a superfamily of endogenous signalling lipids that mediate resolution of inflammation processes in atherosclerosis, and appraise the therapeutic potential of specialized (..)
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 25 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01023-z In this Review, the authors discuss the receptors, ligands and interactors that regulate immune cell recruitment in atherosclerosis, describe mechanisms that promote the resolution of inflammation in atherosclerotic lesions, and highlight potential strategies (..)
Taking a long-term view of cardiovasculardisease prevention is an attractive strategy since atherosclerosis begins early in life and progresses over decades. Lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and improving lifestyle habits are mainstay strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovasculardisease.1
In recent issues of the JCI, two independent papers highlight a direct role of endothelial LDs in the genesis of hypertension and atherosclerosis in rodent models. demonstrated that accumulation of LDs in the endothelium leads to hypertension, impairs endothelial function, and accelerates atherosclerosis. Boutagy, Gamez-Mendez, et al.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) serve as the initial and pivotal enzymes of the KP, with IDO playing important and intricate roles in cardiovasculardiseases. Multiple studies have indicated that kynurenine (KYN) may serve as a potential biomarker for several adverse cardiovascular events.
Researchers have discovered that the smooth muscle cells that line the arteries of people with atherosclerosis can change into new cell types and develop traits similar to cancer that worsen the disease.
Cardiovasculardiseases (CVDs) still maintain high morbidity and mortality globally. Helicases, a unique class of enzymes, are extensively implicated in the processes of nucleic acid (NA) metabolism across various organisms. They play a pivotal role in gene expression, inflammatory response, lipid metabolism, and so forth.
Atherosclerotic cardiovasculardiseases remain the leading cause of mortality in diabetic patients, with endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction serving as the initiating step of atherosclerosis, which is exacerbate.
In recent years, S100 calcium binding protein A8/A9 (S100A8/A9) derived from neutrophils has attracted increasing attention as an important warning protein for cardiovasculardisease.
Researchers have identified a new pathway that contributes to cardiovasculardisease associated with high levels of niacin, a common B vitamin previously recommended to lower cholesterol. The team discovered a link between 4PY, a breakdown product from excess niacin, and heart disease.
Introduction The progression of coronary atherosclerosis is an active and regulated process. The Wnt signaling pathway is thought to play an active role in the pathogenesis of several cardiovasculardiseases; however, a better understanding of this system in atherosclerosis is yet to be unraveled.
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has emerged as a previously unrecognized, potent, age-related, and common risk factor for atherosclerosis. Cardiovasculardisease accounts for much of this gap. Experimental evidence supports the causality of certain CHIP mutations in accelerated atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation. Under pro-inflammatory conditions, endothelial cells can undergo endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), contributing to atherosclerosis development.
