Saturated fatty acid palmitate aggravates neointima formation by promoting smooth muscle phenotypic modulation.
OBJECTIVE Obesity is a major risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Circulating free fatty acid levels are known to be elevated in obese individuals and, along with dietary saturated fatty acids, are known to associate with cardiovascular events. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which free fatty acids are linked to cardiovascular disease. APPROACH AND...
متن کامل3,3′Diindolylmethane Suppresses Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Modulation and Inhibits Neointima Formation after Carotid Injury
BACKGROUND 3,3'Diindolylmethane (DIM), a natural phytochemical, has shown inhibitory effects on the growth and migration of a variety of cancer cells; however, whether DIM has similar effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of DIM on the proliferation and migration of cultured VSMCs and neointima formation in a carotid...
متن کاملSynthetic retinoid Am80 suppresses smooth muscle phenotypic modulation and in-stent neointima formation by inhibiting KLF5.
Modulation of smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype plays a central role in neointima formation. We recently demonstrated that Am80, a synthetic retinoic acid receptor alpha-specific agonist, inhibits the activity of the transcription factor KLF5, which is essential for neointima formation after vascular injury. In the present study, we aimed to further analyze the mechanism by which Am80 inhibits...
متن کاملNeointima formation after vascular stent implantation. Spatial and chronological distribution of smooth muscle cell proliferation and phenotypic modulation.
Intravascular stents have proved useful as angioplasty devices, but intimal hyperplasia after stent implantation remains an unsolved problem. In the present study, we analyzed the spatial and chronological distribution of proliferation and phenotypes of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in rabbit aortas during the process of neointima formation after stent implantation (Gianturco's Z type) by immunohi...
متن کاملThe induction of yes-associated protein expression after arterial injury is crucial for smooth muscle phenotypic modulation and neointima formation.
OBJECTIVE Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are the key events in the progression of neointima formation in response to vascular injury. The goal of this study is to investigate the functional role of a potent oncogene yes-associated protein (YAP) in SM phenotypic modulation in vitro and in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS In vitro cell culture and in vivo i...
