Journal ArticleDOI

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy C-Reactive Protein Attenuates Nitric Oxide Production and Inhibits Angiogenesis

TL;DR: CRP, at concentrations known to predict adverse vascular events, directly quenches the production of the NO, in part, through posttranscriptional effect on eNOS mRNA stability, which may facilitate the development of diverse cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

New markers of inflammation and endothelial cell activation: Part I.

TL;DR: This review article will provide a brief overview of the link between inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis and will begin highlighting emerging inflammatory mediators of endothelial cell (EC) activation, a discussion that will be continued in Part 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistin Promotes Endothelial Cell Activation Further Evidence of Adipokine-Endothelial Interaction

TL;DR: The novel adipokine resistin exerts direct effects to promote EC activation by promoting ET-1 release, in part by inducingET-1 promoter activity via the AP-1 site, and may be mechanistically linked to cardiovascular disease in the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein Attenuates Endothelial Progenitor Cell Survival, Differentiation, and Function Further Evidence of a Mechanistic Link Between C-Reactive Protein and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: Human recombinant CRP, at concentrations known to predict adverse vascular outcomes, directly inhibits EPC differentiation, survival, and function, key components of angiogenesis and the response to chronic ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein Upregulates Angiotensin Type 1 Receptors in Vascular Smooth Muscle

TL;DR: CRP, at concentrations known to predict cardiovascular events, upregulates AT1-R–mediated atherosclerotic events in vascular smooth muscle in vitro and in vivo, lending credence to the notion that CRP functions as a proatherosclerosis factor as well as a powerful risk marker.
