Metalloproteinases, Mechanical Factors and Vascular Remodeling
Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...
متن کاملImpact of interleukin-6 on plaque development and morphology in experimental atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Vascular lipid accumulation and inflammation are hallmarks of atherosclerosis and perpetuate atherosclerotic plaque development. Mediators of inflammation, ie, interleukin (IL)-6, are elevated in patients with acute coronary syndromes and may contribute to the exacerbation of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS To assess the role of IL-6 in atherosclerosis, ApoE-/--IL-6-/- double-...
متن کاملThe Effect of Adiponectin on Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...
متن کاملDeletion of Periostin Protects Against Atherosclerosis in Mice by Altering Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix Remodeling.
OBJECTIVE Periostin is a secreted protein that can alter extracellular matrix remodeling in response to tissue injury. However, the functional role of periostin in the development of atherosclerotic plaques has yet to be described despite its observed induction in diseased vessels and presence in the serum. APPROACH AND RESULTS Hyperlipidemic, apolipoprotein E-null mice (ApoE(-/) (-)) were cr...
متن کاملA role of matrix metalloproteinase-8 in atherosclerosis.
RATIONALE Atherosclerotic lesions express matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)8, which possesses proteolytic activity on matrix proteins particularly fibrillar collagens and on nonmatrix proteins such as angiotensin (Ang) I. OBJECTIVE We studied whether MMP8 plays a role in atherogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS In atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E-deficient mice, inactivating MMP8 resulted in a...
