Abstract

The discrepancy of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) function in atherosclerosis has been noted. Compared to the protective effect of IDO1 against established atherogenesis, the role of IDO1 in the developmental process of atherosclerosis is still unclear. Here, the expression patterns and activities of IDO1 and its isoenzyme tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) in aortas and blood samples of patients with atherosclerosis were investigated. IDO1 and TDO were colocalized with CD3-positive lymphocytes and CD68-positive macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions. The expression and activity of IDO1 and TDO increased with the grade of the histological classification in early atherosclerosis (grade I, II), but the increase did not continue in advanced atherosclerosis (grade III). Treatment of THP-1 macrophages (THP-M) with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) induced the expression of IDO1 via the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway, indicating the potential function of IDO1 in foam cells. Before and after treatment with oxLDL on THP-M, IFN-γ-induced IDO1 exhibited different degrees of promotion on foaming, inflammatory factor production and cell apoptosis. Finally, we found that the IDO1 inhibitor 1-methyl-tryptophan could elevate the high-dens...Continue Reading

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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
