AL gif  Despite Antiatherogenic Metabolic Characteristics, SCD1-Deficient Mice Have Increased Inflammation and Atherosclerosis

Marcia L.E. MacDonald, Miranda van Eck, Reeni B. Hildebrand, Brian W.C. Wong, Nagat Bissada, Piers Ruddle, Anatol Kontush, Hala Hussein, Mahmoud A. Pouladi, M. John Chapman, Catherine Fievet, Theo J.C. van Berkel, Bart Staels, Bruce M. McManus, and Michael R. Hayden
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:341-347; published online before print December 18 2008, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.181099
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
Absence of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) unexpectedly increases atherosclerosis lesion area at the aortic root in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice. This is associated with numerous signs of inflammation, including increases in plasma interleukin-6 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and proinflammatory changes in HDL particles.  

AL gif  Genetic Regulation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Size and Morphology in the Innominate Artery of Hyperlipidemic Mice

Brian J. Bennett, Susanna S. Wang, Xuping Wang, Xiaohui Wu, and Aldons J. Lusis
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:348-355; published online before print January 2 2009, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.176685
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
We sought to determine the genetic factors contributing to atherosclerotic plaque size and cellular composition in the innominate artery. We identified one novel locus on Chromosome 2 for innominate artery lesion size. Multiple aspects of innominate lesion composition are genetically determined, but in a manner independent of the aortic sinus.

AL gif  Multi-Hit Inhibition of Circulating and Cell-Associated Components of the Toll-Like Receptor 4 Pathway by Oxidized Phospholipids

Elena von Schlieffen, Olga V. Oskolkova, Gernot Schabbauer, Florian Gruber, Stephan Blüml, Melinda Genest, Alexandra Kadl, Claudia Marsik, Sylvia Knapp, Jesse Chow, Norbert Leitinger, Bernd R. Binder, and Valery N. Bochkov
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:356-362; published online before print December 26 2008, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.173799
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
In this work, open questions concerning the regulation of TLR4 by oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) were addressed. The data demonstrate that OxPLs simultaneously inhibit several steps in LPS recognition and activation of TLR4 signaling.  

TH gif   Platelet Activation by Low Concentrations of Intact Oxidized LDL Particles Involves the PAF Receptor

Rui Chen, Xi Chen, Robert G. Salomon, and Thomas M. McIntyre
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:363-371; published online before print December 26 2008, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.178731
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
Oxidized LDL contains truncated phospholipids that depolarize mitochondria of nucleated cells, and mitochondrial depolarization aids platelet activation. Indeed, very low amounts of intact oxLDL particles activated platelets. However, the PAF receptor unexpectedly recognized medium length oxidized alkyl phospholipids, and oxidized LDL stimulates platelets via the PAF receptor, not mitochondrial damage.

TH gif  Fibrinogen-{gamma} C-Terminal Fragments Induce Endothelial Barrier Dysfunction and Microvascular Leak via Integrin-Mediated and RhoA-Dependent Mechanism

Mingzhang Guo, Dayle Daines, Jing Tang, Qiang Shen, Rachel M. Perrin, Yoshikazu Takada, Sarah Y. Yuan, and Mack H. Wu
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:394-400; published online before print January 2 2009, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.180950
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
The effect of fibrinogen-{gamma} C-terminal fragment ({gamma}C) on microvascular endothelial permeability was assessed by measuring albumin flux and hydraulic conductivity in mesenteric microvessels and transcellular electric resistance in endothelial monolayers. The results suggest that {gamma}C induces an integrin-mediated RhoA-dependent endothelial response leading to microvascular leakage.  

TH gif  Angiopoietin-2 Exocytosis Is Stimulated by Sphingosine-1-Phosphate in Human Blood and Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Cholsoon Jang, Young Jun Koh, Nam Kyu Lim, Hyun Jung Kang, Duk Hoon Kim, Sung Kwang Park, Gyun Min Lee, Choon Ju Jeon, and Gou Young Koh
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:401-407; published online before print December 26 2008, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.172676
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
The underlying mechanism of Ang2 exocytosis from human endothelial cells was examined by stimulation with S1P. S1P triggers rapid Ang2 exocytosis, which is mainly mediated by EDG1/phospholipase C/intracellular calcium mobilization. The rapid secretion of Ang2 by exocytosis from endothelial cells is a possible mechanism for S1P-induced angiogenesis and inflammation.  

TH gif  Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor Expression Masks the Antiinflammatory and Glucose Uptake Capacity of Insulin in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Niels Engberding, Alejandra San Martín, Abel Martin-Garrido, Mitsuhisa Koga, Lily Pounkova, Erin Lyons, Bernard Lassègue, and Kathy K. Griendling
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:408-415; published online before print January 2 2009, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.181727
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) expression is inversely related to insulin sensitivity in VSMCs. While IGF1R downregulation allows the formation of insulin holoreceptors and leads to enhanced cellular insulin sensitivity, it also unveils antiinflammatory properties of insulin.

AL gif  Prognostic Utility of ApoB/AI, Total Cholesterol/HDL, Non-HDL Cholesterol, or hs-CRP as Predictors of Clinical Risk in Patients Receiving Statin Therapy After Acute Coronary Syndromes: Results From PROVE IT–TIMI 22

Kausik K. Ray, Christopher P. Cannon, Richard Cairns, David A. Morrow, Paul M Ridker, and Eugene Braunwald
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2009;29:424-430; published online before print January 2 2009, doi:10.1161/ATVBAHA.108.181735
Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Data Supplement
In this analysis from PROVE IT-TIMI 22, on-treatment apoB/AI, TC/HDL, and non-HDL-C offered similar prognostic information to LDL-C. However, the addition of hs-CRP to lipids significantly improved risk prediction.
