Atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, and vascular-associated lymphoid tissue.
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease induced by the effects of various risk factors on appropriate genetic backgrounds. It is characterized by vascular areas containing mononuclear and proliferating smooth muscle cells,as well as extracellularmatrix (ECM)2 components resulting in hardening and thickening (arteriosclerosis) of the arterial wall. In a strict sense, atherosclerotic lesions ...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis, autoimmunity, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Atherosclerosis can be considered a chronic inflammatory condition of the vessel wall. Fatty streaks, the earliest morphological lesions of atherosclerosis, are caused by lipids (primarily of cholesteryl esters) accumulated within the macrophages (foam cells) and smooth muscle cells in the intimal layer. These lesions progress into atherosclerotic plaques containing extracellular matrix compone...

متن کاملAutoimmunity, Atherosclerosis and Apoptotic Cell Clearance
In recent years, it has been reported that there is an increased incidence of accelerated atherosclerosis among young women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Accelerated atherosclerosis has also been observed in other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis. The end-organ damage most commonly observed in SLE patients is kidney failure. Recent advances in t...
متن کاملAutoimmunity in atherosclerosis: lessons from experimental models.
The modern view of atherosclerosis is of a chronic inflammatory disorder. In accord with this paradigm, the process of uninhibited influx of fat to the vessel wall results from an 'adequate' response to various forms of injury (i.e. turbulence, infections, modified lipoproteins). This idea has been further extended by several groups, to assume that the atherosclerotic lesion can be the target o...
