MicroRNAs in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Numerous studies have examined the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cell homeostasis and cardiovascular disease and have markedly improved our understanding of RNA biology in general and the potential role of miRNAs in atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, several miRNAs, such as miR-33a,b, miR-92a, miR-126 and others, have been identified that are relevant mediators of pathological processes, incl...
متن کاملLipid retention in the arterial wall of two mouse strains with different atherosclerosis susceptibility.
LDL deposition in the subendothelium of arterial walls is the initial event in the development of atherosclerosis. The deposited LDL undergoes oxidative modification by arterial wall cells to become oxidized LDL and consequently contributes to atherosclerotic formation. Using mouse strains C57BL/6J (B6) and C3H/HeJ (C3H), which differ markedly in susceptibility to atherosclerosis, we determined...
متن کاملLipid metabolism by gut microbes and atherosclerosis.
A recent metabolomic study provides evidence that microbial metabolism of lipids in the gut yields product(s) that promote atherosclerosis. These results add another dimension—the microbiome—to the complex determinants of atherogenesis. Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a complex pathophenotype that is governed by genetic and environmental determinants. The mechanistic interplay between speci...
متن کاملAltered metabolism of LDL in the arterial wall precedes atherosclerosis regression.
RATIONALE Plasma cholesterol lowering is beneficial in patients with atherosclerosis. However, it is unknown how it affects entry and degradation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles in the lesioned arterial wall. OBJECTIVE We studied the effect of lipid-lowering therapy on LDL permeability and degradation of LDL particles in atherosclerotic aortas of mice by measuring the accumulation ...
متن کاملThe 5-lipoxygenase pathway in arterial wall biology and atherosclerosis.
Leukotrienes (LTs) are powerful inflammatory lipid mediators derived from the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) cascade of arachidonic acid. Recent clinical, population genetic, cell biological, and mouse studies indicate participation of the 5-LO pathway in atherogenesis and arterial wall remodeling. 5-LO is expressed by leukocytes including blood monocytes, tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophil...
