Proteoglycans in Atherosclerosis and Restenosis
The proteoglycan versican is one of several extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that accumulate in lesions of atherosclerosis and restenosis. Its unique structural features create a highly interactive molecule that binds growth factors, enzymes, lipoproteins, and a variety of other ECM components to influence fundamental events involved in vascular disease. Versican is one of the principal gen...

متن کاملPurinergic Signaling in Atherosclerosis and Restenosis
The concept of purinergic signaling, i.e. ATP acting as an extracellular signaling molecule, was put forward in 1972, when evidence was presented in support of ATP as a neurotransmitter in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) nerves in the gut, bladder, and some blood vessels [1]. After considerable early resistance purinergic signaling is now fully accepted for both neuronal and non-neuronal...
متن کاملExtracellular proteases in atherosclerosis and restenosis.
Extracellular proteolysis plays a key role in many pathophysiologic processes including cancer, inflammatory diseases, and cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Whereas matrix metalloproteinases are their best known member, many others are becoming better known. The extracellular proteases are a complex and heterogeneous superfamily of enzymes. They include metallopr...
متن کاملInteracting leukocytes predict atherosclerosis and restenosis.
Interacting Leukocytes Predict Atherosclerosis and Restenosis To the Editor: Previous studies have revealed the association between inflammation, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).1–3 Several recent investigations have addressed the involvement of pathological intimal thickening after macrophage infiltration and circulating apoptotic progenitor cells with telomere repeatbinding ...
