Effect of low-dose aspirin on vascular inflammation, plaque stability, and atherogenesis in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a complex vascular inflammatory disease. Low-dose aspirin is a mainstay in the prevention of vascular complications of atherosclerosis. We wished to determine the effect of low-dose aspirin on vascular inflammation, plaque composition, and atherogenesis in LDL receptor-deficient mice fed a high fat diet. METHODS AND RESULTS In LDL receptor-deficient mice fed a hi...
متن کاملAcceleration of atherogenesis by COX-1-dependent prostanoid formation in low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice.
The cyclooxygenase (COX) product, prostacyclin (PGI(2)), inhibits platelet activation and vascular smooth-muscle cell migration and proliferation. Biochemically selective inhibition of COX-2 reduces PGI(2) biosynthesis substantially in humans. Because deletion of the PGI(2) receptor accelerates atherogenesis in the fat-fed low density lipoprotein receptor knockout mouse, we wished to determine ...
متن کاملAspirin inhibits ox-LDL-mediated LOX-1 expression and metalloproteinase-1 in human coronary endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND Aspirin is thought to exert salutary effects in vascular disease states by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Endothelial activation, accumulation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and intense inflammation also characterize atherosclerotic plaque in acute myocardial ischemia. Ox-LDL induces expression of lectin-like receptors (LOX-1) on endothelial cells and leads to the exp...
متن کاملInterleukin-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 کاملSPOTLIGHT REVIEW Biomechanical factors and macrophages in plaque stability
Thin-cap fibroatheromas (TCFAs) or vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are considered a high-risk phenotype for acute cardiovascular events. TCFAs are identified by a thin rupture-prone fibrous cap, a large necrotic core, and a high content of leucocytes. Atherogenesis is dependent upon complex patterns of blood flow. Slow-flowing blood imposing low shear stress on the arterial wall up-regulates...
