The role of immunity and inflammation in the development of diabetic complications

The human humoral autoimmune response to modified forms of LDL is a typical adaptive response, with a switch to IgG synthesis and increasing antibody affinity that leads to the release of proinflammatory mediators, and it has unquestionable pathogenic characteristics.

The atherosclerotic process and its consequences are considered driven by an imbalance between pro- and ant-inflammatory actions, and one contributing factor is an altered regulation of these actions by the immune system.

Soluble Antiapoptotic Molecules and Immune Activation in Chronic Heart Failure and Unstable Angina Pectoris

The results demonstrated that mean levels of sFas and sIL2-R were significantly increased in patients affected by chronic heart failure and unstable angina and were not associated with changes in renal function or with serum levels of cTnI, indicating that the activation of Fas system is strictly associated with autoimmune–inflammatory reactions.

Increased plasma levels of sFas are associated with established PAOD and results suggest that sFAs may represent a novel and independent marker of atherosclerosis.

C-Reactive Protein Predicts Future Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Carotid Stenosis

Inflammation was associated with morphological and clinical progression of atherosclerotic disease and patients with elevated levels of hs-CRP exhibit an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcome attributable to clinical adverse events of progressive atherosclerosis.

Evidence is supply for a close temporal correlation between inflammation and morphological features of rapidly progressive carotid atherosclerosis, which suggests that elevation or increase of the inflammatory biomarkers hs-CRP and SAA identifies the presence of active atherosclerotic disease.
