Danger signaling in atherosclerosis.
All aspects of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis are critically influenced by the inflammatory response in vascular plaques. Research in the field of innate immunity from the past 2 decades has uncovered many novel mechanisms elucidating how immune cells sense microbes, tissue damage, and metabolic derangements. Here, we summarize which triggers of innate immunity appear during atherogenesis ...
متن کاملMetabolic Syndrome: The Danger Signal in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by infiltration of blood vessels by lipids and leukocytes. There is a growing body of evidence that among risk factors that promote atherosclerosis, the metabolic syndrome is a powerful and prevalent predictor of cardiovascular events. The systemic inflammatory process associated with the metabolic syndrome has numerous deleterious...
متن کاملHMGB1: endogenous danger signaling.
While foreign pathogens and their products have long been known to activate the innate immune system, the recent recognition of a group of endogenous molecules that serve a similar function has provided a framework for understanding the overlap between the inflammatory responses activated by pathogens and injury. These endogenous molecules, termed alarmins, are normal cell constituents that can...
متن کاملInflammation in atherosclerosis and other conditions: a response to danger.
In the last few years atherosclerosis has been recognized as an inflammatory process. Assessment of low-grade inflammation with indexes like C-reactive protein (CRP) is considered indicative and potentially predictive for this disease. On the other hand, in a large number of clinical studies, a grade of microinflammation has been found to be associated with numerous other processes that may be ...
متن کاملAlarm pheromones-chemical signaling in response to danger.
Many animals respond to the threat of predation by producing alarm signals that warn other individuals of the presence of danger or otherwise reduce the success of predators. While alarm signals may be visual or auditory as well as chemical, alarm pheromones are common, especially among insects and aquatic organisms. Plants too emit chemical signals in response to attack by insect herbivores th...
