Microbial composition of atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

Oral Diseases, 2014
ObjectiveThe association of infections such as periodontitis with atherosclerotic diseases is well documented. In spite of the high diversity of the human oral microbiota, and its close contact with the circulatory system, few oral species were detected in atherosclerotic plaques.

A Dual‐Phase Exosomal Nanotherapy Enhances Continual Efferocytosis by Coordinating Checkpoint Inhibition and Metabolic Reprogramming in Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here we developed Am@SExo, a dual‐functional engineered exosome that coordinates CD47–SIRPα checkpoint blockade with Arg1 mRNA–mediated metabolic reprogramming. Surface SIRPα promotes recognition of apoptotic cells and plaque targeting, while Arg1 expression enhances arginine–ornithine metabolism, Rac1 activation, and actin remodeling in macrophages ...

Mechanical Assessment in Atherosclerosis Based on Photoacoustic Viscoelasticity Imaging

Photonics
Early identification of vulnerable plaques is a major challenge in diagnosis and assessment of atherosclerosis. In atherosclerotic plaque development, the proportion change in components caused plaque mechanical property change and induced plaque rupture.

An Integrative Strategy Delineates Modular Metabolic Remodeling and Potential Therapeutic Targets Across Metabolic Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrative single‐cell atlas across multiple metabolic diseases reveals coordinated metabolic modules and disease‐shared versus disease‐specific pathway activities. By systematically comparing scoring strategies, a robust RankAve framework is established. Coupled with network analysis and drug‐target prediction, this resource uncovers cross‐disease

Lysophosphatidic acid triggers mast cell-driven atherosclerotic plaque destabilization by increasing vascular inflammation[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lysophospholipid, accumulates in the atherosclerotic plaque. It has the capacity to activate mast cells, which potentially exacerbates plaque progression.

Macrophage heterogeneity in atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2009
The varied behaviour of macrophages and foam cells during atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae prompt the question whether all these activities can be the property of a single cell population.Subsets of monocytes with distinct patterns of surface markers and behaviours during inflammation have recently been characterized and shown to have ...

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI to Study Atherosclerotic Plaque Microvasculature

, 2016
Rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque of the carotid artery is an important underlying cause of clinical ischemic events, such as stroke. Abundant microvasculature has been identified as an important aspect contributing to plaque vulnerability ...

A high‐fat diet with vitamin D and propylthiouracil produces a pro‐atherogenic phenotype in rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Sprague–Dawley rats received a cholesterol‐rich high‐fat diet supplemented with vitamin D and propylthiouracil for 11 weeks. The model induced dyslipidemia (increased total cholesterol/low‐density lipoprotein, decreased triglycerides), inflammation (increased interleukin‐6 and serum amyloid A), hypercalcemia, and reduced circulating endothelial ...

Advanced Detection and Therapeutic Monitoring of Atherosclerotic Plaque Using CD36-Targeted Lipid Core Probe

Pharmaceutics
Background: Atherosclerotic diseases, including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular condition marked by the accumulation of lipid plaque within

ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE OF RENAL VASA RECTA ON PATIENT WITH CALCIUM STONE

Jurnal Urologi Indonesia, 2013
Objective: We would like to identify whether atherosclerotic plaque inside renal vasa recta correlates with the formation of calcium stone. Material & Method: Samples are taken from kidney tissue removed by nephrectomy due to stone and non-stone disease.
