Ambient particulate matter accelerates coagulation via an IL-6-dependent pathway.
The mechanisms by which exposure to particulate matter increases the risk of cardiovascular events are not known. Recent human and animal data suggest that particulate matter may induce alterations in hemostatic factors. In this study we determined the mechanisms by which particulate matter might accelerate thrombosis. We found that mice treated with a dose of well characterized particulate mat...
متن کاملBioassay of extracts of ambient particulate matter.
Organic extracts from airborne particles collected at various sites in Scandinavia have been tested for mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella/microsome assay. Extracts from particles in the respirable size fraction (diameter less than 3 microns) were mutagenic with and without metabolic activation. The mutagenic activity varied from day to day, mainly due to variations in meteorological parameter...
متن کاملEffect of concentrated ambient particulate matter on blood coagulation parameters in rats.
Epidemiologic studies have shown that exposure to particulate air pollution is associated with short-term increases in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. These adverse effects of inhaled particulate matter (PM*) may be the indirect result of a PM-induced increase in blood coagulability. This explanation is biologically plausible because prospective studies have shown that increases in bloo...
متن کاملExposure to concentrated ambient fine particulate matter disrupts vascular endothelial cell barrier function via the IL‐6/HIF‐1α signaling pathway
Exposure to concentrated ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The barrier function of vascular endothelial cells is critical for the development of CVDs. Here, we employed human umbilical vein endothelial cells to clarify the function of ambient PM2.5 pollution in the regulation of membrane permeability of vascular endothelial cells. T...
متن کاملExposure to Concentrated Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Induces Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction via miR-21
Vascular endothelial permeability transition does not cause significant lesions, but enhanced permeability may contribute to the development of vascular and other diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure and cancer. Therefore, elucidating the effect of Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) on vascular endothelial permeability could help prevent disease that might be caused by P...
