Superoxide Generation in Directional Coronary Atherectomy Specimens of Patients With Angina Pectoris
Objective— NADH/NADPH oxidase is an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the vasculature. Recently, we demonstrated that p22phox, an essential component of this oxidase, was expressed… Expand

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor Has Protective Effects Against Stroke Events in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Background and Purpose— Recent clinical studies suggest that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) exert protective effects against nonhemorrhagic stroke. In… Expand

Serotonin-Induced Hypercontraction Through 5-Hydroxytryptamine 1B Receptors in Atherosclerotic Rabbit Coronary Arteries
Background—Augmented vasoconstriction to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) in atherosclerotic vessels plays a crucial role in the development of myocardial ischemia. We investigated mechanisms… Expand

Expression of G2A, a Receptor for Lysophosphatidylcholine, by Macrophages in Murine, Rabbit, and Human Atherosclerotic Plaques
Objective— Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a major phospholipid component of oxidized low density lipoprotein, has been demonstrated to induce multiple functional alterations of vasculature that are… Expand

Interaction of Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in Coronary Plaque Instability
Objective— C-reactive protein (CRP), a predictor of cardiovascular events, localizes in atherosclerotic arteries and exerts proinflammatory effects on vascular cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)… Expand

Involvement of Endothelial Nitric Oxide in Sphingosine-1-Phosphate–Induced Angiogenesis
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a critical signaling molecule of angiogenesis. Recently, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has emerged as a mediator of angiogenesis, and S1P-induced NO synthesis… Expand

Local Overexpression of Toll-Like Receptors at the Vessel Wall Induces Atherosclerotic Lesion Formation
Objective— Atherosclerosis is now considered as a chronic inflammatory disease, and inflammation is closely related to immune systems, which consist of innate-immunity and adaptive-immunity.… Expand

Possible Role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in the Pathogenesis of Coronary Artery Disease
Background— The neurotrophin (NT) family, including nerve growth factor NT-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), has a critical role in the survival, growth, maintenance, and death of… Expand

Local Overexpression of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 at Vessel Wall Induces Infiltration of Macrophages and Formation of Atherosclerotic Lesion
Monocyte/macrophage infiltration to the arterial wall is an initial step in atherosclerosis, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is thought to play a central role in the recruitment of… Expand

Propagermanium Reduces Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice via Inhibition of Macrophage Infiltration
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), which binds to C-C chemokine receptor 2, has been implicated as the primary source of monocyte chemoattractant function in the early stages of… Expand
