Immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory cytokines directly and indirectly inhibit endothelial dysfunction- a novel mechanism for maintaining vascular function
Endothelial dysfunction is a pathological status of the vascular system, which can be broadly defined as an imbalance between endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in the progression of many pathological processes including atherosclerosis, type II diabetes and hypertension. Previous reports have demonstrated that pro-inflammatory/immuno...
متن کاملInflammatory cytokines, vascular function, and hypertension.
THERE IS GROWING INTEREST in the potential role of inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, and hypertension (7, 14–16). Although the role of cytokines in atherosclerosis is well established, the importance of cytokines in cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension has yet to be fully elucidated. One form of hypertension tha...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction as a cellular mechanism for vascular failure.
The regulation of vascular tone, vascular permeability, and thromboresistance is essential to maintain blood circulation and therefore tissue environments under physiological conditions. Atherogenic stimuli, including diabetes, dyslipidemia, and oxidative stress, induce vascular dysfunction, leading to atherosclerosis, which is a key pathological basis for cardiovascular diseases such as ischem...
متن کاملNovel mechanisms for maintaining endothelial barrier function in sepsis.
The pathophysiology of multiple disease states, including sepsis,1,2 hypertension,1 atherosclerosis,3–5 and ischemiareperfusion injury,6 is characterized by loss of the endothelial barrier function leading to the accumulation of plasma-borne proteins, tissue edema, and cell death. Importantly therapeutic strategies that inhibit loss of endothelial barrier function have been associated with stra...
متن کاملNovel mechanism for endothelial dysfunction: dysregulation of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase.
BACKGROUND Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Plasma levels of ADMA are elevated in individuals with hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerosis. We postulated that reduced degradation of ADMA may play a role in the accumulation of ADMA in these individuals. Accordingly, we studied the effects of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) or tumor necrosis facto...
