Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors attenuate angiogenesis
Donepezil {(RS)-2-[(1-benzyl-4-piperidyl)methyl]-5,6-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydroinden-1-one} is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and used for treatment of patients with AD (Alzheimer's disease). Recent studies showed that treatment with donepezil reduced production of inflammatory cytokines in PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells). It was also reported that muscle-derived inflammatory...
متن کاملRole of the intrinsic coagulation pathway in atherogenesis assessed in hemophilic apolipoprotein E knockout mice.
OBJECTIVE The contribution of thrombosis and coagulation in atherogenesis is largely unknown. We investigated the contribution of the coagulation intrinsic factor VIII (FVIII)-dependent pathway in atherogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS Apolipoprotein E and FVIII double-deficient mice (E degrees/FVIII degrees) were generated. Aortic root lesions were analyzed in 14-week-old and 22-week-old female ...
متن کاملHemodynamic changes in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.
Apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-KO) mice develop advanced atherosclerotic lesions by 1 yr of age and have been well characterized pathologically and morphologically, but little is known regarding their cardiovascular physiology and hemodynamics. We used noninvasive Doppler ultrasound to measure aortic and mitral blood velocity and aortic pulse-wave velocity in 13-mo-old ApoE-KO and wild-type (W...
متن کاملDietary phosphate modulates atherogenesis and insulin resistance in apolipoprotein E knockout mice--brief report.
OBJECTIVE Epidemiological studies link higher serum phosphate and the phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor 23 with cardiovascular events and atheroma, and they link lower serum phosphate with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. We investigated whether manipulating dietary phosphate influences atherogenesis or insulin sensitivity in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Apolipoprotein E knocko...
متن کاملInhibition of sphingomyelin synthesis reduces atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.
BACKGROUND In clinical studies, sphingomyelin (SM) plasma levels correlated with the occurrence of coronary heart disease independently of plasma cholesterol levels. We hypothesized that inhibition of SM synthesis would have antiatherogenic effects. To test this hypothesis, apolipoprotein E (apoE)-knockout (KO) mice were treated with myriocin, a potent inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase, ...
