In this paper, the interplay between lymphangiogenesis and immune regulation has been explored in relation to the initiation and development of these diseases, which may improve our knowledge in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and transplant biology.Abstract:
Cardiac lymphangiogenesis plays an important physiological role in the regulation of interstitial fluid homeostasis, inflammatory, and immune responses. Impaired or excessive cardiac lymphatic remodeling and insufficient lymph drainage have been implicated in several cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (MI). Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of functional lymphatics are not fully understood, the interplay between lymphangiogenesis and immune regulation has recently been explored in relation to the initiation and development of these diseases. In this field, experimental therapeutic strategies targeting lymphangiogenesis have shown promise by reducing myocardial inflammation, edema and fibrosis, and improving cardiac function. On the other hand, however, whether lymphangiogenesis is beneficial or detrimental to cardiac transplant survival remains controversial. In the light of recent evidence, cardiac lymphangiogenesis, a thriving and challenging field has been summarized and discussed, which may improve our knowledge in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and transplant biology.read more

Hsa_circ_0007059 promotes apoptosis and inflammation in cardiomyocytes during ischemia by targeting microRNA-378 and microRNA-383
TL;DR: The findings suggest that circ_0007059 expression is upregulated in mice cardiomyocytes in response to oxidative stress and cardiac tissues of MI mouse model, suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of MI by targetingmiR-378 and miR-383.

Hydroxysafflor yellow A regulates lymphangiogenesis and inflammation via the inhibition of PI3K on regulating AKT/mTOR and NF-κB pathway in macrophages to reduce atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice.
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HSYA) on atherosclerosis was investigated in mice fed with high-fat diet fed ApoE knockout (ApoE-/-) mice.

Tenascin-C in Tissue Repair after Myocardial Infarction in Humans
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of Tenascin-C (TNC) in human myocardial repair was investigated, which indicated that TNC induces prolonged over-inflammation by suppressing lymphangiogenesis, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying adverse post-infarct remodeling.

TL;DR: It is shown that cholesterol crystals activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in phagocytes in vitro in a process that involves phagolysosomal damage and that crystalline cholesterol acts as an endogenous danger signal and its deposition in arteries or elsewhere is an early cause rather than a late consequence of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immune system in atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: Innate as well as adaptive immune responses have been identified in atherosclerosis, with components of cholesterol-carrying low-density lipoprotein triggering inflammation, T cell activation and antibody production during the course of disease.

The healing myocardium sequentially mobilizes two monocyte subsets with divergent and complementary functions

TL;DR: This work identifies two distinct phases of monocyte participation after MI and proposes a model that reconciles the divergent properties of these cells in healing and identifies new therapeutic targets that can influence healing and ventricular remodeling after MI.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current understanding of inflammatory and immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis and indicates that Regulatory T cells and B1 cells secreting natural antibodies are atheroprotective.

TL;DR: Biomarker-based approaches are needed to identify patients with distinct pathophysiologic responses and to rationally implement inflammation-modulating strategies in patients with myocardial infarction.
