Cardiac Alarmins as Residual Risk Markers of Atherosclerosis under Hypolipidemic Therapy
Int J Mol Sci. 2022 Sep 22;23(19):11174. doi: 10.3390/ijms231911174.ABSTRACTIncreased levels of low-density lipoproteins are the main risk factor in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Although statin treatment can effectively lower these levels, there is still a residual risk of cardiovascular events. We hypothesize that a specific panel of stress-sensing molecules (alarmins) could indicate the persistence of silent atherosclerosis residual risk. New Zealand White rabbits were divided into: control group (C), a group that received a high-fat diet for twelve weeks (Au), and a treated hyperlipidemic group wit...

Dual targeted delivery of statins and nucleic acids by chitosan-based nanoparticles for enhanced antiatherosclerotic efficacy
Biomaterials. 2021 Dec 15;280:121324. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.121324. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Owing to the synergistic regulation of cholesterol metabolism and lesion inflammation, the simultaneous administration of statins and nucleic acids is expected to alleviate atherosclerosis. In this work, we prepared atorvastatin- and galactose-modified trimethyl chitosan nanoparticles (GTANPs) with dual targeting to hepatocytes and lesional macrophages for encapsulating Baf60a siRNA (siBaf60a) and anti-miR-33 pD...

Statins up-regulate SmgGDS through {beta}1-integrin/Akt1 pathway in endothelial cells
Conclusion These results indicate that statins selectively up-regulate SmgGDS in endothelial cells, for which the β1-integrin/Akt1 pathway may be involved, demonstrating the novel aspects of the pleiotropic effects of statins.
