Vascular protection during systemic inflammation : investigation of the relationship between PKC epsilon and heme oxygenase-1
2012-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) demonstrate endothelial dysfunction. The inflammatory response triggered by endothelial injury leads to reduced NO biosynthesis, while increasing superoxide generation, monocyte adhesion and endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis. Apoptosis occurs preferentially at atherosclerosis prone sites...
