Inflammatory mediators of coronary artery ectasia

Abstract: The exact mechanisms underlying coronary artery ectasia (CAE) remain uncertain. This study aims to investigate whether and how inflammatory mediators play a role in the pathogenesis of CAE. The data sources of this study were located by literature searches on MEDLINE, Highwire Press and Google search engine for the year range 2000-2013. The most sensitive of the four types of plasma inflammatory mediators were cell adhesion molecules and systemic inflammatory markers followed by cytokines, while proteolytic su… Show more

“…Cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6), proteolytic substances (cathepsin L, Cathepsin C, Matrix metalloprotein-3), cell adhesion molecules (E-selectin, P-selectin), and systemic inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine, neoprotein) are certain inflammatory markers which are elevated in the CAE and its association also depends on morphology of CAE. 43, 44…”

“…MEDZHITOV, 2010). Os mediadores podem ser classificados em sete grupos de acordo com as suas propriedades bioquímicas: aminas vasoativas, peptídeos vasoativos, fragmentos de componentes do complemento, os mediadores de lipídeos, citocinas, quimiocinas e enzimas proteolíticas (SOLOSKI et al, 2014;YUAN, 2014;BARNES et al, 1998). As citocinas são pequenas proteínas secretadas pelas células, tornando-se importantes reguladores da resposta imunológica devido a sua capacidade de transferir a outras células informações que irão induzir modificações funcionais, multiplicação ou até mesmo a morte por apoptose (SHAIKH, 2011;KOPF et al, 2010 MAYNARD et al, 2008;SIEWE et al, 2006;MCGUIRK et al, 2002;MOORE et al, 2001).…”
