The complexity of arterial classical monocyte recruitment.

چکیده
Accumulation of classical monocytes is imperative for the progression of atherosclerosis. Hence, therapeutic interference with mechanisms of lesional monocyte recruitment, the primary mechanism controlling macrophage accumulation, may allow for targeting atheroprogression and its clinical complications. Here, we review the important role of classical monocytes in atheroprogression as well as their routes of arterial recruitment. We specifically highlight the role of cell adhesion molecules as well as of platelet-derived chemokines and neutrophil-borne alarmins.

The chemokine receptor CX 3 CR1 coordinates monocyte recruitment and endothelial regeneration after arterial injury
Regeneration of arterial endothelium after injury is critical for the maintenance of normal blood flow, cell trafficking, and vascular function. Using mouse models of carotid injury, we show that the transition from a static to a dynamic phase of endothelial regeneration is marked by a strong increase in endothelial proliferation, which is accompanied by induction of the chemokine CX3CL1 in end...
متن کاملMonocyte Adhesion and Plaque Recruitment During Atherosclerosis Development Is Regulated by the Adapter Protein Chat-H/SHEP1.
OBJECTIVE The chronic inflammation associated with atherosclerosis is caused by lipid deposition followed by leukocyte recruitment to the arterial wall. We previously showed that the hematopoietic cell-specific adaptor protein Cas- and Hef1-associated signal transducer hematopoietic isoform (Chat-H)/SHEP1 regulated lymphocyte adhesion and migration. In this study, we analyzed the role of Chat-H...
متن کاملMonocyte subsets in atherosclerosis.
Endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation of the arterial wall continuously drive the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Monocytes, as cells of the innate immunity, are particularly involved in this process. In the last decade, heterogeneity of circulating monocytes has widely been acknowledged, and a recent consensus nomenclature subdivides classical, intermediate and nonclassical ...
متن کاملLipoprotein-derived lysophosphatidic acid promotes atherosclerosis by releasing CXCL1 from the endothelium.
Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays a key role in the initiation of atherosclerosis by increasing monocyte adhesion. The mechanism that is responsible for the oxLDL-induced atherogenic monocyte recruitment in vivo, however, still remains unknown. Oxidation of LDL generates lysophosphatidylcholine, which is the main substrate for the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) generating ...
متن کاملPolymerase chain reaction-based method for quantifying recruitment of monocytes to mouse atherosclerotic lesions in vivo: enhancement by tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta.
The critical role of monocyte recruitment in atherogenesis has been appreciated for some time. However, until recently, there have been no sufficiently sensitive methods for measuring rates of monocyte recruitment to the arterial wall in vivo. We have developed a novel highly sensitive method, based on the polymerase chain reaction, for quantitatively tracking DNA-marked monocytes and have adap...
