USP5 Stabilizes TGFBR1 to Drive Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Senescence and Atherosclerosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that USP5 drives vascular smooth muscle cell senescence and atherosclerosis by stabilizing TGFBR1, suppressing IDH2, and promoting glycolytic reprogramming, identifying the USP5‐TGFBR1‐IDH2 axis as a potential therapeutic target. ABSTRACT Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence contributes importantly to atherosclerotic plaque ...

Assessment of vulnerable and unstable carotid atherosclerotic plaques on endarterectomy specimens

open access: yesExperimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2016
The types of lesion instability responsible for the majority of acute coronary events frequently include plaque disruption and plaque erosion with superimposed thrombosis. The term 'vulnerable plaque is used to describe atherosclerotic (ATS) plaques that are particularly prone to rupture and susceptible to thrombus formation, such as the thin-cap ...

Serial Molecular‐Microstructural Multimodal Intravascular Imaging of Atherosclerotic Plaques in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel longitudinal molecular and microstructural intravascular imaging approach is developed to study murine atherosclerosis. The technique combines a unique surgical model with a miniaturized multimodal device to detect macrophage activity and lipid simultaneously.

Reconstruction and quantification of the carotid artery bifurcation from 3D ultrasound images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a relatively new technique, which is well suited to imaging superficial blood vessels, and potentially provides a useful, noninvasive method for generating anatomically realistic 3-D models of the peripheral ...

THSD7A Exacerbates Atherosclerosis via Activation of Signaling Axis αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
THSD7A exerts pro‐inflammatory effects and exacerbates atherosclerosis. Mechanistically, THSD7A regulates endothelial cell inflammation and atherosclerosis by activating the αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A signaling axis. THSD7A is not only a genetic marker but also a potential therapeutic target for coronary artery disease (CAD).

RANTES/CCL5 and risk for coronary events: results from the MONICA/KORA Augsburg case-cohort, Athero-Express and CARDIoGRAM studies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The chemokine RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted)/CCL5 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in mice, whereas less is known in humans. We hypothesised that its relevance for atherosclerosis should be

Conicity index and sex differences in relation to carotid plaque instability in Chinese community residents

open access: yesJournal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Objectives: The conicity index (CI), an anthropometric parameter of visceral obesity, has exhibited a strong correlation with the incidence of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events.

Approach To Unstable Plaque In Carotid Disease

open access: yesAdvances in Bioscience and Clinical Medicine, 2017
Risk of cerebral infarction due to thrombo emboli originating  from carotid artery disease estimated to be near 15%, and this risk  is closely associated with the severity of luminal stenosis. But at the same time characteristics  of the plaque should be taken into account for therapeutic planning when the patient is asymptomatic and the diameter of ...

A Hybrid Hierarchical Framework for Quantifying Mechanical Markers in Atherosclerotic Disease Progression: A New Approach for Diagnosis and Risk Assessment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The mechanobiological basis of atherosclerotic progression and its contribution to spatial and temporal heterogeneity remain incompletely understood. Spatially resolved AFM measurements revealed that plaque formation and distinct regions (cap fibrosis, intimal fibrosis, and lipid‐rich core) exhibit heterogeneous elastic modulus and viscoelastic ...

Extracellular Vesicle Packaged TDP43 Derived From ECs Exacerbates Cigarette Tar‐Related Atherosclerosis Progression via Enhancing Macrophage Extracellular Traps

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cigarette tar triggers EC‐derived EVs carrying TDP43, which binds VDAC1 to boost MAMs, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, and METs formation in macrophages, accelerating smoking‐related AS progression, while retinoic acid binds TDP43 to block this pathogenic cascade.
