Complement and atherogenesis: binding of CRP to degraded, nonoxidized LDL enhances complement activation.
Complement activation occurs in temporal correlation with the subendothelial deposition of LDL during early atherogenesis, and complement also plays a pathogenetic role in promoting lesion progression. Two lesion components have been identified that may be responsible for complement activation. First, enzymatic degradation of LDL generates a derivative that can spontaneously activate complement...
متن کاملFerns and Heikal, Atherogenesis and hypoxia Hypoxia in Atherogenesis
The anoxemia theory proposes that an imbalance between the demand for, and supply of, oxygen in the arterial wall is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis. There is now substantial evidence that there are regions within the atherosclerotic plaque in which profound hypoxia exists; this may fundamentally change the function, metabolism and responses of many of the cell types found wi...
متن کاملNeutrophils, hypercholesterolemia, and atherogenesis.
A critical role for hypercholesterolemia in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is firmly established. However, we still have much to learn about how hypercholesterolemia leads to the development of atherosclerotic heart disease and the spectrum of cellular participants involved. Atherosclerosis is viewed as a chronic inflammatory process, with our focus of attention dwelling on the role of cel...
متن کاملHypoxia, Angiogenesis and Atherogenesis
The balance between vascular oxygen supply and metabolic demand for oxygen within the vasculature is normally tightly regulated. An imbalance leads to hypoxia and a consequential cascade of cellular signals that attempt to offset the effects of hypoxia. Hypoxia is invariably associated with atherosclerosis, wound repair, inflammation and vascular disease. The anoxaemia hypothesis proposes that ...
متن کاملChlamydia, inflammation, and atherogenesis.
Atherosclerotic lesions are initiated and progress largely as a result of a chronic, fibroproliferative, inflammatory response. This review discusses how Chlamydia pneumoniae could conceivably contribute to this chronic inflammatory response and reports on recent in vivo and in vitro studies. In vivo studies in mice demonstrate that C. pneumoniae infection is disseminated to the artery wall fol...
