TLDR
In this article, the multifaceted role of lipids in endothelial mechanobiology and mechanisms of atherogenesis are discussed in a review, and changes in blood flow characteristics are detected by endothelial cells and affect their structure and function.
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is one of the most important problems in modern medicine. Its high prevalence and social significance determine the need for a better understanding of the mechanisms of the disease’s development and progression. Lipid metabolism and its disorders are one of the key links in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Lipids are involved in many processes, including those related to the mechanoreception of endothelial cells. The multifaceted role of lipids in endothelial mechanobiology and mechanisms of atherogenesis are discussed in this review. Endothelium is involved in ensuring adequate vascular hemodynamics, and changes in blood flow characteristics are detected by endothelial cells and affect their structure and function.

Involvement of Fatty Acids and Their Metabolites in the Development of Inflammation in Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Endothelial cells demonstrate multiple cross-linkages between lipid metabolism and innate immunity and these processes are linked to hemodynamics and the function of other cells in the vascular wall, highlighting the central role of the endothelium in vascular biology.

Molecular Pharmacology of Inflammation Resolution in Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Studies examining the possibility of pharmacological effects on inflammation resolution are of interest because lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Nitric oxide synthases: regulation and function.

TL;DR: Nitric oxide (NO), the smallest signalling molecule known, is produced by three isoforms of NO synthase (NOS), which can be expressed in many cell types in response to lipopolysaccharide, cytokines, or other agents.
