Immune Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis, Especially in Diabetes Type 2
Atherosclerosis and ensuing cardiovascular disease (CVD) are major complications of diabetes type 2. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition involving immunocompetent cells of different types present in the lesions. Even though inflammation and immune activation may be more pronounced in atherosclerosis in diabetes type 2, there does not appear to be any major differences between di...
متن کاملImmune mechanisms in atherosclerosis.
To summarize, it is possible that T cell activation in the plaque has four different effects: a direct inhibition of smooth muscle proliferation mediated by IFN-gamma, an indirect stimulation of smooth muscle proliferation via IFN-induced macrophage activation, an induction of responsiveness to PDGF by induction of PDGF receptor expression, and finally, an up-regulation of HDL receptors. The ne...
متن کاملPharmacogenomic approach in type 2 diabetes treatment
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is chronic health caused by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors that results in high blood glucose. The evidence-based guidelines for diabetes management are mainly based on lifestyle changes, control of risk factors, and the management of blood glucose levels. Although numerous antidiabetic agents have been developed over time, T2D trea...
متن کاملMixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like Pseudokinase (MLKL) Gene Expression in Human Atherosclerosis with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background: MLKL, one of the main downstream components of the necroptosis or programmed necrosis has recently been demonstrated in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. However, its precise role in the atherosclerosis pathogenesis still requires more elucidation. Our study was set to delineate both the changes in peripheral MLKL gene expression and its influence on disease severity in atherosclero...
متن کاملGenes associated with Atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Available statistics and research reveal that most patients with diabetes die from cardiovascular diseases, mainly due to markedly advanced and untreated atherosclerosis. Although the risk of cardiovascular disease increases additively with the number of conventional risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, these conventional risk factors cannot fully account for the ris...
