Attributes of Hypoxic Preconditioning Determine the Complicating Atherogenesis of Plaques
نویسنده
چکیده
Atherogenesis constitutes a prominent mechanism in inducing stenosis of the vascular lu‐ men by multiple mechanisms within contextual reference of heterogeneity of pathways and phenotype determinants. Reduction of low-density lipoprotein-C has well-established value and constitutes a major guideline for cardiovascular disease prevention [38]. Redox state im‐ balance plays a role in preclinical atherosclerosis [7]. The realization of events constituting the acute coronary syndromes is particularly critical in the evolution of lesions that further compromise blood supply to target tissues. It is highly significant to consider the distribu‐ tion of individual lesions with reference to disturbed blood flow patterns within the vascu‐ lar arterial tree, as further evidenced by selectivity to vascular branch points. Disturbed flow may hinder transport of nitric oxide particularly distal to a stenosis [17].

DETECTION AND RESTRICTION ANALYSIS OF C YTOMEGALOVIRUS DNA PERSISTING IN HUMAN ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES USING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as applied to detection of a foreign DNA in clinical specimens could provide a sensitive instrument for rapid detection of viral DNA persisting in tissues of patients suspected of latent infection. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA was found in arterial plaques of patients with atherosclerotic lesions using a PCR assay with nested primer oligonucleotides ...
متن کاملHypoxia increases LDL oxidation and expression of 15-lipoxygenase-2 in human macrophages.
OBJECTIVE Macrophage-mediated oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) by enzymes, such as the lipoxygenases, is considered of major importance for the formation of oxidized LDL during atherogenesis. Macrophages have been identified in hypoxic areas in atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate the role of hypoxia in macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation, we incubated human mon...
متن کاملIntegrative Physiology Hypoxia Is Present in Murine Atherosclerotic Plaques and Has Multiple Adverse Effects on Macrophage Lipid Metabolism
Rationale: Human atherosclerotic plaques contain large numbers of cells deprived of O 2. In murine atheroscle-rosis, because the plaques are small, it is controversial whether hypoxia can occur. Objective: To examine if murine plaques contain hypoxic cells, and whether hypoxia regulates changes in cellular lipid metabolism and gene expression in macrophages. Conclusion: Hypoxic regions are pres...
متن کاملHypoxic Preconditioning Preserves Cardiac Contractility and Reduces Infarct Size In Vivo
Background: Preconditioning is a powerful endogenous mechanism to protect the heart against ischemic damage. The second window of preconditioning (SWOP) is therapeutically the most attractive, but is hard to achieve by local cardiac ischemia 24 hrs before the index ischemia in the many mice models for cardiovascular pathology, because of excessive mortality during the two procedures or the peri...
متن کاملExosomes Secreted by Normoxic and Hypoxic Cardiosphere-derived Cells Have Anti-apoptotic Effect
Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) have emerged as one of the most promising stem cell types for cardiac protection and repair. Exosomes are required for the regenerative effects of human CDCs and mimic the cardioprotective benefits of CDCs such as anti-apoptotic effect in animal myocardial infarction (MI) models. Here we aimed to investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of the hypoxic and normoxic...
