Interleukin-17 and atherosclerotic vascular disease.
Atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) involves several overlapping pathological processes. Atherogenesis, the process by which atherosclerotic plaques develop in the arterial wall, involves inspissation of abnormal circulating lipoproteins into the vessel intima, resulting in inflammation, injury, and responses to injury.1 Mouse models of atherogenesis, involving impaired low-density lipoprot...
متن کاملSerum Interleukin-17 Evaluation in Patients With Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease
Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders or diseases (EGIDs) may result from an abnormal immune-mediated response to food antigens. Activated eosinophils release various mediators with inflammatory properties which may result in tissue and subsequently organ damage. The cytokine milieu of these patients has revealed increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inc...
متن کاملNeutrophils, interleukin-17 and obstructive airway disease
There is increasing evidence that an exaggerated accumulation of activated neutrophils is linked to the clinical course of obstructive airway diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The present review article focuses on the evidence that the T cell cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 plays a role in orchestrating the accumulation and subsequent activation of neutrophils in ...
متن کاملOsteoporosis, osteopenia, and atherosclerotic vascular disease
Older women with low bone mineral density (BMD) have a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic vascular disease (coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, or peripheral arterial disease) than older women with normal BMD. Three coronary angiographic studies have shown that low BMD is associated with obstructive coronary artery disease. Low BMD has been shown to be associated with stress test-induce...
متن کاملInterleukin 17 drives vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and arterial hypertension in psoriasis-like skin disease.
OBJECTIVE Interleukin (IL)-17A is regarded as an important cytokine to drive psoriasis, an inflammatory skin disease marked by increased cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to test the hypothesis that overproduction of IL-17A in the skin leading to dermal inflammation may systemically cause vascular dysfunction in psoriasis-like skin disease. APPROACH AND RESULTS Conditional overexpression of ...
