Overexpression of scavenger receptor and infiltration of macrophage in epicardial adipose tissue of patients with ischemic heart disease and diabetes

Abstract: BackgroundOxidized low-density lipoproteins and scavenger receptors (SRs) play an important role in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaques. However, little is known about their presence in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). The objective of the study was to evaluate the mRNA expression of different SRs in EAT of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), stratifying by diabetes status and its association with clinical and biochemical variables.MethodsWe analyzed the mRNA expression of SRs (LOX… Show more

“…65 The immune cell population found in EAT may also be influenced by diabetes since dendritic cells (professional antigen-presenting cells contributing to regulation of lymphocyte immune response) were downregulated, 66 whereas infiltrating pro-inflammatory macrophages were upregulated in EAT from patients with T2D. 67 Thus, EAT in T2D is particularly inflamed, which could accelerate atherosclerosis and cardiac complications in this population (Figure 1).…”

“…LOX-1 was found to be significantly higher in biopsies of epicardial adipose tissue in patients with type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease compared to control groups without type 2diabetes mellitus. No significant association was found between the duration of diabetes and increased LOX-1 [ 44 ].…”

“…Genetic predisposition together with systemic insulin resistance, chronic levels of cholesteryl esters and modified LDL trigger beta cell damage and increase the risk of CVDs (Cleland, 2012;Ludwig et al, 2014). Apart from the presence of highly oxidized LDL and anti-oxLDL antibodies in T2DM, modified oxLDL receptors in human islet cells have also been confirmed by various groups (Alouffi et al, 2018;Santiago-Fernández et al, 2019;Xie et al, 2019;Puchałowicz and Ra c, 2020). Pancreatic cells are more prone to ROS-induced oxidative stress as these cells have limited intrinsic antioxidant defense mechanisms.…”
