Abstract
Importance of the field: The sodium/hydrogen exchanger-1 (NHE-1/SLC9A1) is a ubiquitous plasma membrane protein whose main role is maintenance of intracellular pH and volume. NHE-1 plays a role in atherogenesis; however, its clinical relevance has not yet been established.
Areas covered in this review: We herein review the contribution of NHE-1 in atherogenesis (namely its effect on endothelial cells, monocytes, smooth muscle cells and platelets).
What the reader will gain: Studies have shown that NHE is involved in atherogenesis-related properties of isolated monocytes. We also consider the relationship between NHE-1 and vascular risk factors such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia and inflammation.
Take home message: Even though clinical trials with certain NHE-1 inhibitors have had discouraging results, NHE-1 cannot be excluded as a potential future therapeutic target for the prevention and/or treatment of atherosclerosis.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs (ISSN 1354-3784 [print], 1744-7658 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles and original papers on drugs in preclinical and early stage clinical development, providing expert opinion on the scope for future development.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering preclinical through to Phase II data on drugs or drug classes for specific indications, and their potential impact on future treatment strategies
Drug Evaluations reviewing the clinical and pharmacological data on a particular drug
Original Research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on agents that are in Phase I and II clinical trials
The audience consists of scientists, managers and decision-makers in the pharmaceutical industry, and others closely involved in R&D.
