Do intrinsic arterial wall features determine atherosclerosis susceptibility?
It is generally accepted that the propensity of arteries to develop atherosclerotic lesions differs between arterial segments [1–4]. Within this context the carotid and coronary arteries are well known for their high susceptibility to develop atherosclerosis, whereas the internal mammary artery (IMA) is resistant. The underlying biology of this vascular susceptibility is still not completely el...
متن کاملDirect evidence for a crucial role of the arterial wall in control of atherosclerosis susceptibility.
BACKGROUND Inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J (B6) and C3H/HeJ (C3H) exhibit marked differences in atherosclerosis susceptibility. We sought to determine whether the difference in atherosclerosis susceptibility resides at the level of arterial walls. METHODS AND RESULTS Thoracic aortic segments from 8-week-old female B6 and C3H apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were transplanted into the infrarenal ...
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 کاملGenetic differences in endothelial cells may determine atherosclerosis susceptibility.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a complex genetic disorder that involves many genes and has significant gene-environment interactions. The extensive study of candidate genes in pathways relevant to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors has had limited success in explaining the population’s susceptibility to this disease. With the advent of the Genome Program, it is now b...
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...
