Immunological mechanisms in atherosclerosis

Journal of Internal Medicine
T Yokota, G K Hansson

Abstract

Immunological mechanisms seem to be potent modulators of the atherosclerotic process. The presence of substantial numbers of T-lymphocytes in the lesion and local and circulating autoantibodies to plaque components suggests that a specific immune response is operating. Focal expression of adhesion molecules and local secretion of chemoattractants could mediate the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the lesion. Local cytokine and growth factor networks may operate later, controlling cell migration and proliferation. Although it is still important to realize the complexity of these mechanisms, the ongoing characterization of the molecular mechanisms in atherogenesis may lead to new strategies for intervention with the disease process.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
