Atorvastatin inhibits functional expression of proatherogenic TLR2 in arterial endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that TLR2 plays a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It is highly expressed in endothelial cells in areas of disturbed blood flow, like plaques or vessel bifurcations, but laminar blood flow suppresses endothelial TLR2 expression and is therefore thought to be atheroprotective. We sought for means to also protect lesion prone sites from TLR2 over-e...
متن کاملIncreased endothelial expression of Toll-like receptor 2 at sites of disturbed blood flow exacerbates early atherogenic events
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity. TLRs initiate inflammatory pathways that may exacerbate chronic inflammatory diseases like atherosclerosis. En face laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) of isolated aortic segments revealed the distribution of intimal TLR2 expression and the atheroprotective outcomes resulting from a TLR2 deficiency. TLR2 expr...
متن کاملToll gates and traffic arteries: from endothelial TLR2 to atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease modulated by both genetic and environmental factors.1–3 Disease onset is thought to be triggered by hypertension, high plasma concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, or even infection.1 Endothelial injury by these factors is central to atherogenesis. Lesion susceptibility is greatest in those vascular regi...
متن کاملTLR2 expression doesn't change in ox-LDL mediated inflammation in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells under high glucose culture.
BACKGROUND Inflammatory responses induced by ox-LDL play important roles in atherogenesis, and could be promoted in diabetic patients. Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 is an innate inflammatory receptor, and is enhanced in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under high glucose conditions. Ox-LDL-TLR2 pathway activation and further inflammation in monocytes are involved in the atheroscleros...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 mediates apolipoprotein CIII-induced monocyte activation.
Apolipoprotein (apo)CIII predicts risk for coronary heart disease. We recently reported that apoCIII directly activates human monocytes. Recent evidence indicates that toll-like receptor (TLR)2 can contribute to atherogenesis through transduction of inflammatory signals. Here, we tested the hypothesis that apoCIII activates human monocytoid THP-1 cells through TLR2. ApoCIII induced the associat...
