Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 accelerates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
The pro-inflammatory chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), plays a fundamental role in monocyte recruitment and has been implicated as a contributing factor to atherosclerosis. The predominant cell types within the vessel wall--endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages--all contribute to overexpression of MCP-1 in atherosclerotic tissue. In this report we assess t...
متن کاملIron-ion radiation accelerates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
Radiation exposure from a number of terrestrial sources is associated with an increased risk for atherosclerosis. Recently, concern over whether exposure to cosmic radiation might pose a similar risk for astronauts has increased. To address this question, we examined the effect of 2 to 5 Gy iron ions ((56)Fe), a particularly damaging component of cosmic radiation, targeted to specific arterial ...
متن کاملC-reactive protein accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration is a strong predictor of atherosclerosis. However, to date, there is no in vivo evidence that CRP is proatherogenic. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the effect of human CRP transgene (tg) expression, under basal and turpentine-stimulated conditions, on atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein (apo) E-/- mice. Aortic atherosclerotic lesions in 2...
متن کاملLack of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase-1 accelerates atherosclerosis in diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND Recent clinical studies have suggested a major protective role for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx1) in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. We induced diabetes in mice deficient for both GPx1 and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) to determine whether this is merely an association or whether GPx1 has a direct effect on diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RES...
متن کاملDeficiency of glutathione peroxidase-1 accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND We have recently demonstrated that activity of red blood cell glutathione peroxidase-1 is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study analyzed the effect of glutathione peroxidase-1 deficiency on atherogenesis in the apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse. METHODS AND RESULTS Female apolipoprotein E-deficient mic...
