Neopterin Counters Vascular Inflammation and Atherosclerosis

BACKGROUND Neopterin, a metabolite of GTP, is produced by activated macrophages and is abundantly expressed within atherosclerotic lesions in human aorta and carotid and coronary arteries. We aimed to clarify the influence of neopterin on both vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis, as neither effect had been fully assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated neopterin expression in coron...

Inhibition of systemic onset of post-transcriptional gene silencing by non-toxic concentrations of cadmium.

Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is an important mechanism for regulation of plant gene expression and virus-plant interactions. To better understand this process, the heavy metal cadmium was identified as a specific inhibitor in two different PTGS systems, constitutive and inducible. The pattern of cadmium-induced inhibition of PTGS allowed several insights into PTGS development. Fir...

Nod1 ligands induce site-specific vascular inflammation.

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of stimulants for a nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing (NLR) protein family on human artery endothelial cells and murine arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Human coronary artery endothelial cells were challenged in vitro with microbial components that stimulate NLRs or Toll-like receptors. We found stimulatory e...

Metabolic Profiling in Association with Vascular Endothelial Cell Dysfunction Following Non-Toxic Cadmium Exposure

This study aimed to determine the metabolic profile of non-toxic cadmium (Cd)-induced dysfunctional endothelial cells using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs (n = 6 per group) were treated with 0, 1, 5, or 10 μM cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) for 48 h. Cell phenotypes, including nitric oxide (NO) production, the inflammatory response, and oxidative stress, were evaluated in Cd-e...

Amorphous silica nanoparticles impair vascular homeostasis and induce systemic inflammation

Amorphous silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are being used in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and many other industrial applications entailing human exposure. However, their potential vascular and systemic pathophysiologic effects are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the acute (24 hours) systemic toxicity of intraperitoneally administered 50 nm and 500 nm SiNPs in mice (0.5 mg/kg). Both sizes...
