eNOS Gene Transfer Inhibits Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and MMP-2 and MMP-9 ActivityArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 19 Số 12 - Trang 2871-2877 - 1999
Milind V. Gurjar, Ram V. Sharma, Ramesh C. Bhalla
Abstract —Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration is a critical step in the
development of neointima after angioplasty. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
degrade the basement membrane and the extracellular matrix, facilitating SMC
migration. Transfer of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene to the
injury site inhibits neointima formation. Neither the signaling pathways leading
to NO... hiện toàn bộ
Dkk1 and Msx2–Wnt7b Signaling Reciprocally Regulate the Endothelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Aortic Endothelial CellsArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 33 Số 7 - Trang 1679-1689 - 2013
Su‐Li Cheng, Jian-Su Shao, Abraham Behrmann, Karen Krchma, Dwight A. Towler
Objective— Endothelial cells (ECs) can undergo an endothelial–mesenchymal
transition with tissue fibrosis. Wnt- and Msx2-regulated signals participate in
arteriosclerotic fibrosis and calcification. We studied the impact of Wnt7,
Msx2, and Dkk1, a Wnt7 antagonist, on endothelial–mesenchymal transition in
primary aortic ECs. Approach and Results— Transduction of aortic ECs with
vectors expressing D... hiện toàn bộ

Fenofibrate Effect on Triglyceride and Postprandial Response of Apolipoprotein A5 VariantsArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 1417-1425 - 2007
Chao‐Qiang Lai, Donna K. Arnett, Dolores Corella, Robert J. Straka, Michael Y. Tsai, James M. Peacock, Xian Adiconis, Laurence D. Parnell, James E. Hixson, Michael A. Province, José M. Ordovás
Objective— Apolipoprotein A5 ( APOA5 ) is a key determinant of plasma
triglyceride (TG) concentrations. Genetic variation at the APOA5 locus could be
responsible for some of the observed differences in response to fenofibrate
therapy. Methods and Results— We examined the association between tag SNPs
(−1131T>C and 56C>G) at APOA5 and TG and HDL-C response to fenofibrate and a
postprandial lipid cha... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of Apolipoprotein A5, C3, and Plasma Triglyceride Concentrations in Genetically Engineered MiceArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 24 Số 7 - Trang 1297-1302 - 2004
Nadine Baroukh, Eric Baugé, Jennifer A. Akiyama, Jessie Chang, Veena Afzal, Jean‐Charles Fruchart, Edward M. Rubin, Jamila Fruchart‐Najib, L Pennacchio
Objective—Both the apolipoprotein A5 and C3 genes have repeatedly been shown to
play an important role in determining plasma triglyceride concentrations in
humans and mice. In mice, transgenic and knockout experiments indicate that
plasma triglyceride levels are strongly altered by changes in the expression of
either of these 2 genes. In humans, common polymorphisms in both genes have also
been as... hiện toàn bộ
Targeted Sequencing Study to Uncover Shared Genetic Susceptibility Between Peripheral Artery Disease and Coronary Heart Disease—Brief ReportArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 39 Số 6 - Trang 1227-1233 - 2019
Maya Safarova, Xiao Fan, Erin Austin, Natalie Van Zuydam, Jemma C. Hopewell, Daniel J. Schaid, Iftikhar J. Kullo
Objective— It is unclear to what extent genetic susceptibility variants are
shared between peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary heart disease (CHD),
both manifestations of atherosclerotic vascular disease. We investigated whether
common and low-frequency/rare variants in loci associated with CHD are also
associated with PAD. Approach and Results— Targeted sequencing of 41 genomic
regions a... hiện toàn bộ
Deficiency of Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Accelerates the Progression of Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient MiceArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 27 Số 4 - Trang 850-857 - 2007

Background— We have recently demonstrated that activity of red blood cell
glutathione peroxidase-1 is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular
events in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study analyzed the
effect of glutathione peroxidase-1 deficiency on atherogenesis in the
apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse. Methods and Results— Female apolipoprotein
E-deficient mice w... hiện toàn bộ
Mutations in Promoter Region of Thrombomodulin and Venous Thromboembolic DiseaseArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 1098-1104 - 1999

Abstract —The present study was designed to analyze the thrombomodulin proximal
promoter region spanning nucleotides −293 to −12 to search for polymorphisms
that could modify thrombomodulin gene expression in patients with venous
thromboembolic disease. The study population comprised 205 patients and 394
healthy subjects of similar age and sex distribution. No polymorphisms and only

Importance of a Novel Oxidative Mechanism for Elimination of Intracellular Cholesterol in HumansArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 208-212 - 1996

Abstract We have recently demonstrated that cultured human alveolar macrophages
efficiently convert cholesterol into excretable 27-oxygenated products. We show
here that increasing the intracellular concentration of cholesterol by a factor
of 10 leads to about a twofold increase in the excretion of 27-oxygenated
products from cultured macrophages. Inhibition of the sterol 27-hydroxylase
caused a s... hiện toàn bộ
