Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of Nitric Oxide–Dependent Vasodilatation by HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors Through Attenuation of Endothelial Superoxide Anion Formation
TL;DR: In the rat aorta, the findings suggest that in addition to augmenting endothelial NO synthesis, HCRIs inhibit endothelial O(2)(-) formation by preventing the isoprenylation of p21 Rac, which is critical for the assembly of NADPH oxidase after activation of protein kinase C.
Journal ArticleDOI
17β-Estradiol inhibition of NADPH oxidase expression in human endothelial cells
TL;DR: E2 seems to act as an antioxidant at the genomic level which by improving the NO/O2- balance normalizes expression of proatherosclerotic gene products in endothelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells
TL;DR: This review summarizes what is currently known about the regulation of expression of this enzyme in VSMC, details some of the transcription factors involved therein as well as their mode of activation, and highlights some pharmacological strategies that may be employed for the control of iNOS expression inVSMC in the clinical arena.
Journal ArticleDOI
3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase-Independent Inhibition of CD40 Expression by Atorvastatin in Human Endothelial Cells
TL;DR: By interfering with cytokine-stimulated CD40 expression in vascular cells, statins seem capable of attenuating CD40 ligand-induced proinflammatory responses, including atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atorvastatin inhibition of cytokine-inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in native endothelial cells in situ.
TL;DR: A specific HMG‐CoA reductase‐independent inhibitory effect of statins, namely atorvastatin, is demonstrated on cytokine‐stimulated transcription factor activation in native endothelial cells in situ and the subsequent expression of a gene product implicated in vascular inflammation.
