Abstract
Low endothelial shear stress (ESS) and associated adverse biomechanical features stimulate inflammation, contribute to atherogenesis, and predispose to coronary plaque disruption. The mechanistic links between adverse flow-related hemodynamics and inflammatory mediators implicated in plaque erosion, however, remain little explored. We investigated the relationship of high-risk ESS metrics to culprit lesion proinflammatory/proatherogenic cells and cytokines/chemokines implicated in coronary plaque erosion in patients with acute coronary syndromes. In eroded plaques, low ESS, high ESS gradient, and steepness of plaque topographical slope associated with increased numbers of local T cells and subsets (CD4+, CD8+, natural killer T cells) as well as inflammatory mediators (interleukin [IL]-6, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β, IL-1β, IL-2).
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
