Atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease: sharing a common pathogenic pathway?
Sharing a Common Pathogenic Pathway? To the Editor: The paper by Urbich et al1 suggests that the CD40 pathway is involved in the vascular restenotic process. The immuneinflammatory reaction plays a critical role in atherosclerosis. In particular, the ligand for CD40 (CD40L) is involved in inflammation, thrombosis, and restenosis during progression of atherosclerosis, as discussed by Andre’ et a...
متن کاملA novel pathway of ceramide metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The hydrolysis of ceramides in yeast is catalysed by the alkaline ceramidases Ypc1p and Ydc1p, two highly homologous membrane proteins localized to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). As observed with many enzymes, Ypc1p can also catalyse the reverse reaction, i.e. condense a non-esterified fatty acid with PHS (phytosphingosine) or DHS (dihydrosphingosine) and thus synthesize ceramides. When incuba...
متن کاملSugar cane extract: A treatment for atherosclerosis disease?
Introduction: Sugar cane is a giant plant of grain products. Regarding the benefits of the use of medications with herbal origin, in the present study the impact of sugar cane extract on atherosclerosis and LDL-c and HDL-c in the serum of hypercholesterolemic rabbits was studied. Materials and methods: 24 adult male New Zealand rabbits race with an average weight of 2 kg were classified into...
متن کاملProtosappanin A protects against atherosclerosis via anti- hyperlipidemia, anti-inflammation and NF-κB signaling pathway in hyperlipidemic rabbits
Objective(s): Protosappanin A (PrA) is an effective and major ingredient of Caesalpinia sappan L. The current study was aimed to explore the effect of PrA on atherosclerosis (AS). Materials and Methods: Firstly, the experimental model of AS was established in rabbits by two-month feeding of high fat diet. Then, the rabbits were randomly divided into five groups and treated with continuous high ...
متن کاملPathway analysis of coronary atherosclerosis.
Large-scale gene expression studies provide significant insight into genes differentially regulated in disease processes such as cancer. However, these investigations offer limited understanding of multisystem, multicellular diseases such as atherosclerosis. A systems biology approach that accounts for gene interactions, incorporates nontranscriptionally regulated genes, and integrates prior kn...
