DBZ (Danshensu Bingpian Zhi), a Novel Natural Compound Derivative, Attenuates Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E–Deficient Mice
BACKGROUND DBZ (Danshensu Bingpian Zhi), a synthetic derivative of a natural compound found in traditional Chinese medicine, has been reported to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage activation and lipid accumulation in vitro. The aim of this study was to assess whether DBZ could attenuate atherosclerosis at early and advanced stages. METHODS AND RESULTS The effects of DBZ on the de...
متن کاملOsteopontin deficiency attenuates atherosclerosis in female apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE Osteopontin (OPN), a noncollagenous adhesive protein, is implicated in atherosclerosis, in which macrophages within atherosclerotic plaques express OPN. However, it is not known whether the elevated OPN expression is a cause or result of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated mice that lacked OPN and crossed them with apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice and analyzed the...
متن کاملPPARgamma1-induced caveolin-1 enhances cholesterol efflux and attenuates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) may positively or negatively influence the development of atherosclerosis, depending on the cell type and the metabolic pathways regulated by this protein. We investigate the effects of Cav-1 on cholesterol efflux in RAW264.7 infected with AdPPARgamma1 and whether Cav-1 could attenuate established atherosclerotic lesions in PPARgamma1-treated apoE-deficient mice. ...
متن کاملOral flavonoid supplementation attenuates atherosclerosis development in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a natural flavonoid, specifically blocks activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). We examined the effects of oral CAPE supplementation on atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten-week-old male apoE-/- mice were supplemented orally with CAPE (30 mg/kg body weight) for 12 weeks. At the end of admin...
متن کاملAngiopoietin-2 attenuates angiotensin II-induced aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Angiogenesis and inflammation are implicated in aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis and regulated by angiopoietin-2 (Angpt2). The effect of Angpt2 administration on experimental aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis was examined. Six-month-old male apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE-/-) mice were infused with angiotensin II (AngII) and administered subcutaneous human Fc-protein (control) or recombi...
