DL-3-n-butylphthalide improves the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in high-fat diet-fed ApoE < sup > -/- < /sup > mice via suppressing inflammation, endothelial necroptosis and apoptosis
This study aims to explore whether NBP is able to improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation in atherosclerosis and the underlying mechanisms. Male ApoE-/- mice were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 9-16 weeks to establish a model of atherosclerosis. NBP were given to the mice after eating HFD for 6 weeks and atorvastatin served as a positive control. The endothelium-dependent vasodilation, the blood flow velocity, the atherosclerotic lesion area, the serum levels of lipids, inflammatory cytokines and necroptosis-relevant proteins (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL), and the endothelial necroptosis and apoptosis within the aorta wer...

A cyclic azapeptide ligand of the scavenger receptor CD36/SR-B2 reduces the atherosclerotic lesion progression and enhances plaque stability in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Front Pharmacol. 2023 May 30;14:1204905. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1204905. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial walls that develops at predisposed sites. As a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular pathology, atherosclerosis can progress to myocardial infarction and stroke, due to the rupture of unstable atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophage uptake of modified lipoproteins and metabolic dysfunction contributes significantly to the initiation and development of atherosclerotic lesions. The cluster of differentiation 36 receptor [CD36 (SR-B2)] plays a key role in ather...

Pathways linking aging and atheroprotection in Mif-deficient atherosclerotic mice
FASEB J. 2023 Mar;37(3):e22752. doi: 10.1096/fj.202200056R.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of our arteries and the main underlying pathology of myocardial infarction and stroke. The pathogenesis is age-dependent, but the links between disease progression, age, and atherogenic cytokines and chemokines are incompletely understood. Here, we studied the chemokine-like inflammatory cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in atherogenic Apoe-/- mice across different stages of aging and cholesterol-rich high-fat diet (HFD). MIF promotes atherosclerosis by mediating leukocyte recruitment, ...

Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 repression mitigates atherosclerosis progression by inhibiting macrophages expressing Fasn
AbstractAtherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease that often leads to myocardial infarction and stroke, is mainly caused by lipid accumulation. Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (Eif6) is a rate-limiting factor in protein translation of transcription factors necessary for lipogenesis. To determine whetherEif6 affects atherosclerosis,Eif6+/ − mice were crossed intoApoe −/− background.Apoe −/−/Eif6+/− mice on high fat diet showed significant reduction in atherosclerotic lesions and necrotic core content in aortic root sections in comparison withApoe −/− mice. RNA-Seq was used to investigate the effect of E...

Dog models of human atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases
Mamm Genome. 2022 Oct 15. doi: 10.1007/s00335-022-09965-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Eighty-five percent of CVD-associated deaths are due to heart attacks and stroke. Atherosclerosis leads to heart attack and stroke through a slow progression of lesion formation and luminal narrowing of arteries. Dogs are similar to humans in terms of their cardiovascular physiology, size, and anatomy. Dog models have been developed to recapitulate the complex phenotype of human patients and understand the underlying mechanism of CVD. Different methods, inc...

Guanmaitong Granule Attenuates Atherosclerosis by Inhibiting Inflammatory Immune Response in ApoE < sup > -/- < /sup > Mice Fed High-Fat Diet
CONCLUSION: Radix notoginseng, Radix salviae liguliobae, and Radix astragali are the main ingredients of GMTG for treating AS. Further, GMTG could regulate the level of serum lipids and inhibit inflammatory immune response, which resulted in anti-AS effects such as plaque stabilization, reduction of plaque burden, and plaque remodeling. GMTG is a promising multi-target treatment for AS.PMID:36148321 | PMC:PMC9489104 | DOI:10.2147/DDDT.S372143

IL-19 Regulates Atherosclerotic Plaque Progression via Lymphangiogenesis
CONCLUSION & SUMMARY: These data suggest that IL-19 increases lymphatic vessel formation, potentially allowing RCT to take place to decrease plaque burden in atherosclerosis. Further studies will confirm IL-19's mechanistic pathway in LECs. We will also determine RCT and inflammatory cell trafficking by intravital microscopy. These results have the potential to shift our understanding toward a positive view of the association between the lymphatic system and atherosclerosis.PMID:35554476 | DOI:10.1096/fasebj.2022.36.S1.R5435

Endothelial Cell CD36 Reduces Atherosclerosis and Controls Systemic Metabolism
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Nov 23;8:768481. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.768481. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTHigh-fat Western diets contribute to tissue dysregulation of fatty acid and glucose intake, resulting in obesity and insulin resistance and their sequelae, including atherosclerosis. New therapies are desperately needed to interrupt this epidemic. The significant idea driving this research is that the understudied regulation of fatty acid entry into tissues at the endothelial cell (EC) interface can provide novel therapeutic targets that will greatly modify health outcomes and advance health-related knowledge. Dysfunctional ...
