Endothelial cilia protect against atherosclerosis.
Research over the past 15 years has established that defective primary cilia play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of various genetic and acquired human diseases now termed ciliopathies. A new study, published in this issue of EMBO reports, expands the spectrum of ciliarelated diseases by uncovering a role for primary cilia in preventing cardiovascular disease. Dinsmore and Reiter show th...
متن کاملEndothelial primary cilia inhibit atherosclerosis.
Primary cilia are microtubule-based structures present on most mammalian cells that are important for intercellular signaling. Cilia are present on a subset of endothelial cells where they project into the vessel lumen and are implicated as mechanical sensors of blood flow. To test the in vivo role of endothelial cilia, we conditionally deleted Ift88, a gene required for ciliogenesis, in endoth...
متن کاملTea flavonoids may protect against atherosclerosis: the Rotterdam Study.
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have indicated a protective role of dietary flavonoids in cardiovascular disease, but evidence is still conflicting. Tea is the major dietary source for flavonoids in Western populations. We studied the association of tea intake with aortic atherosclerosis in a general population. METHODS The present analysis formed part of the Rotterdam Study, a prospective...
متن کاملHigh cholesterol may protect against infections and atherosclerosis.
Many researchers have suggested that the blood lipids play a key role in the immune defence system. There is also a growing understanding that an inflammatory response of the arterial intima to injury is a crucial step in the genesis of atherosclerosis. and that infections may be one type of such injury. These two concepts are difficult to harmonize with the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) recept...
متن کاملPrune melanoidins protect against oxidative stress and endothelial cell death.
The health-promoting effects of fruit and vegetable consumption are thought to be due to phytochemicals contained in fresh plant material. Whether processed plant foods provide the same benefits as unprocessed ones is an open question. Melanoidins from heat-processed plums (prunes) were isolated and their presence confirmed by hydroxymethylfurfural content and browning index. Oxidative-induced ...
