Immunolocalization of beta2-glycoprotein I (apolipoprotein H) to human atherosclerotic plaques: potential implications for lesion progression.
BACKGROUND beta2-Glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) is a major antigenic target of antiphospholipid antibodies, which possesses natural anticoagulant properties. The aim of the present study was to determine its presence and localization within human atherosclerotic plaques and to study its association with endothelial cells and monocyte macrophages in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS Human atherosclerotic ...
متن کاملEffect of Helicobacter pylori DNA in human atherosclerotic plaques
Introduction: A number of studies have demonstrated that infectious mico organisms like helicobacter pylori may play a role in the process of atherosclerosis. We, here, aimed to investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori DNA in atherosclerotic plaques in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 85 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CAB...
متن کاملOptimization of Unnicked β2-Glycoprotein I and High Avidity Anti-β2-Glycoprotein I Antibodies Isolation
Patient biological material for isolation of β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) and high avidity IgG anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies (HAv anti-β2GPI) dictates its full utilization. The aim of our study was to evaluate/improve procedures for isolation of unnicked β2GPI and HAv aβ2GPI to gain unmodified proteins in higher yields/purity. Isolation of β2GPI from plasma was a stepwise procedure combining n...
متن کاملVisfatin Destabilizes Atherosclerotic Plaques in Apolipoprotein E–Deficient Mice
OBJECTIVES Although there is evidence that visfatin is associated with atherogenesis, the effect of visfatin on plaque stability has not yet been explored. METHODS In vivo, vulnerable plaques were established by carotid collar placement in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice, and lentivirus expressing visfatin (lenti-visfatin) was locally infused in the carotid artery. The lipid, macrop...
متن کاملComparison of apolipoprotein and proteoglycan deposits in human coronary atherosclerotic plaques: colocalization of biglycan with apolipoproteins.
BACKGROUND Because the content of specific proteoglycans and apolipoproteins is increased in atherosclerotic plaques and in vitro studies have suggested a role for proteoglycans in mediating plaque apolipoprotein (apo) retention, immunohistochemistry was performed to systematically examine the relative locations of proteoglycans and apolipoproteins in human atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULT...
