Endothelin-1 (ET-1) signaling mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of excess coronary artery disease in diabetic dyslipidemia. We hypothesized that in diabetic dyslipidemia ET-1-induced coronary smooth muscle calcium (Ca2+m) and tyrosine phosphorylation would be increased, and the
BACKGROUND
The association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), and coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated.
METHODS
We enrolled 112 hypertensive patients with proven CAD and 112 hypertensive controls matched for age and gender. The
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have assumed an increasingly vital role in treating various hematologic and oncologic malignancies. However, adverse effects with respect to vascular disease have been reported following administration of this class of medications. Here, we present a case report of
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to investigate the potential association between the 981C>T polymorphism in protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) and coronary artery disease (CAD).
METHODS
We conducted a hospital-based case-control study with 864 CAD patients and 1008 controls to explore
BACKGROUND
Several lines of evidence support a pathophysiological role of immunity in atherosclerosis. Tyrosine-nitrated proteins, a footprint of oxygen- and nitrogen-derived oxidants generated by cells of the immune system, are enriched in atheromatous lesions and in circulation of patients with
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the predictive values of placental growth factor (PlGF) and its endogenous antagonist, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), for the long-term prognosis of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Both PlGF and sFlt-1 play important roles in the
OBJECTIVE
Tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) is a high-affinity receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. In addition to its nervous system functions, TrkB is also expressed in the cardiovascular system. However, the association of TrkB and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unknown. We
BACKGROUND Our research was designed to investigate the relationship of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and inflammatory factors with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the risk factors of CHD. MATERIAL AND METHODS In our study, 226 patients were enrolled, from October 2017 to March 2018. Clinical and
BACKGROUND
Intention of the study is to assess the cardiovascular mortality of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with the biomarkers of angiogenesis PlGF and its endogenous inhibitor sFlt-1.
METHODS
The cohort included n = 1848 patients with CAD and 282 subjects without CAD. In 85 patients
BACKGROUND
The inducible isoform of the nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) produces large amounts of nitric oxide in response to cytokine stimulation. Previous investigations have demonstrated iNOS expression in the setting of acute and chronic rejection in experimental cardiac transplant models. The goal
Adult bone marrow contains stem cells capable of reconstituting the vascular system. The ordered progression of stem cells and more differentiated endothelial precursor cells through successive developmental stages is tightly controlled. The specialized microenvironment of the bone marrow as well as
The tanshinones and phenolic acids in Salvia miltiorrhiza (also named Danshen) have been confirmed for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the action mechanisms remain elusive.In the current study, the co-expression protein interaction Protein Kinase C (PKC) is a family composed of phospholipid-dependent serine/threonine kinases that are master regulators of inflammatory signaling. The activity of different PKCs is context-sensitive and these kinases can be positive or negative regulators of signaling pathways. The delta isoform
