Editor's Notes
Inflammation in plaque rupture and thrombosis. This diagram shows a cross-section of the intima of part of an artery affected by atherosclerosis. Altered hydrodynamics, illustrated in the top left, cause loss of atheroprotective functions of endothelial cells—including vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, profibrinolytic, and anticoagulant properties. Antigens presented on antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DCs) can activate TH1 lymphocytes to produce interferon-γ (IFN-γ), which activates macrophages (MΦ, yellow). Other subtypes of lymphocytes (shown in blue) include TH2 lymphocytes, which can elaborate the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL-10) and regulatory T cells that secrete the anti-inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TFG-β). On its surface, the macrophage contains Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2 and 4, which can bind pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns (see text). The intracellular TLRs 3, 7, and 9 may also contribute to lipid accumulation and other proatherogenic functions of the macrophage. Macrophages can undergo stress of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) under atherogenic conditions. Cholesterol crystals found in plaques can activate the NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3 inflammasome (see text) that can generate mature IL-1β from its inactive precursor. The activated macrophage secretes collagenases that can degrade the triple helical interstitial collagen that lends strength to the plaque’s fibrous cap. Activated macrophages also express tissue factor, a potent procoagulant, and elaborate proinflammatory cytokines that amplify and sustain the inflammatory process in the plaque. When the plaque ruptures because of a collagen-poor, weakened fibrous cap, blood in the lumen can contact tissue factor in the lipid core, triggering thrombus formation (red). When the thrombus forms, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) can accumulate and elaborate myeloperoxidase (MPO), which in turn elaborates the potent pro-oxidant hypochlorous acid. Dying PMNs extrude DNA that can form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which can entrap leukocytes and propagate thrombosis. Other inflammatory cells modulate atherosclerosis. B1 lymphocytes secrete natural antibody that can inhibit plaque inflammation. On the contrary, B2 lymphocytes, in part via B-cell activating factor (BAFF), can promote inflammation and plaque complication. Mast cells can augment atherogenesis by releasing histamine and the cytokines IFN-γ and IL-6. The consequences of a given plaque rupture depend not only on the solid state of the intimal plaque but also on the fluid phase of blood, as depicted in the top right. Systemic inflammation can give rise to cytokines, culminating in the overproduction of IL-6, the trigger of the hepatic acute phase response. The acute phase reactant fibrinogen (not shown) participates directly in thrombus formation. Another acute phase reactant, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), can impair fibrinolysis by inhibiting the endogenous fibrinolytic mediators, urokinase- and tissue-type plasminogen activators (uPA and tPA).
