Potential roles of vessel wall heparan sulfate proteoglycans in atherosclerosis

Vascular Pharmacology
Rosalinda Madonna, Raffaele De Caterina

Abstract

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are present in several compartments and cell types in blood vessels. Their expression, as well as the activity of their degrading enzyme heparanase, are strongly regulated, with changes in gene expression, protein levels, and activity in response to environmental and metabolic stresses, including diabetes. HSPGs likely play an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Many functions of HSPGs, such as the promotion of monocyte adhesion, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and low density lipoproteins (LDL) binding, are determined by interactions between cells and specific regions of the HSPG core proteins. Here we review the role of HSPGs expressed in vascular wall in atherosclerotic vascular disease.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

ApoE Phenotypes

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in fat metabolism and associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Here is the latest research on APOE phenotypes.

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.
