研究概览

BACKGROUND: Despite the use of lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory treatments, the progression of atherosclerosis is relentless in most patients. This suggests the presence of in situ pathological factors that continuously exacerbate lesions.

BACKGROUND: Despite the use of lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory treatments, the progression of atherosclerosis is relentless in most patients.

This suggests the presence of in situ pathological factors that continuously exacerbate lesions.

We hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) within the atherosclerotic microenvironment might act as in situ stimulatory factors on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), thereby exacerbating atherosclerosis.

METHODS AND RESULTS: A local atherosclerosis model was induced using Ldlr knockout (Ldlr KO) rats fed a high-cholesterol diet and subjected to partial carotid ligation.
