Abstract

Endothelium plays a pivotal role in the vascular tone regulation, platelet aggregation, regulation of immune response, inflammation and angiogenesis and its dysfunction is an earliest event in the development of cardiovascular disease. All these processes are affected by endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial toxicity induced by metabolites present in blood is a common scenario in pathology. This involves physiological metabolites such as asymmetric dimethylarginine or homocysteine that are normally excreted by kidneys, but accumulate in pathological conditions, adversely affecting function of endothelium. Our group identified new molecule with potential endothelial toxicity: 4-pirydone-3-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribonucleoside (4PYR). This nucleoside is most likely produced by oxidation of nicotinamide containing precursor by aldehyde oxidase. 4PYR easy crosses cell membrane and become phosphorylated inside the cell giving rise to mono-, di- and triphospates (4PYMP, 4PYDP and 4PYTP). There is considerable evidence that 4PYR is toxic in endothelium and other cell types by disrupting cell energetics evident as ATP depletion. Endothelial dysfunction in the in vitro and in vivo experiments is, however, evident only after prolonged exposure...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
