: Vascular diseases are the main reason for morbidity and mortality worldwide. As we know, the earlier phase of vascular diseases is endothelial dysfunction in humans, the endothelial tissues play an important role in inflammation, coagulation, and angiogenesis, via organizing ligand-receptor associations and the various mediators’ secretion. We can use many inflammatory non-invasive tests (flowmediated dilatation, epicedial fat thickness, carotid-intima media thickness, arterial stiffness and anklebrachial index) for assessing the endothelial function. In addition, many biomarkers (ischemia modified albumin, pentraxin-3, E-selectin, angiopoietin, endothelial cell specific molecule 1, asymmetrical dimethylarginine, von Willebrand factor, endothelial microparticles and endothelial progenitor cells) can be used to evaluate endothelial dysfunction. We have focused on the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory markers of vascular disease in this review.

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is well known as a process that can lead to atherosclerosis and is frequently presented in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) patients. Here, we investigated cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying r-axSpA-related ED, and analyzed the potential effect of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in promoting endothelial injury in r-axSpA. A total of 30 r-axSpA patients and 32 healthy donors (HDs) were evaluated. The endothelial function, inflammatory and atherogenic profile, and oxidative stress were quantified. In vitro studies were designed to evaluate the effect of PBMCs from r-axSpA patients on aberrant endothelial activation. Compared to HDs, our study found that, associated with ED and the plasma proatherogenic profile present in r-axSpA, PBMCs from these patients displayed a pro-oxidative, proinflammatory, and proatherogenic phenotype, with most molecular changes noticed in lymphocytes. Correlation studies revealed the relationship between this phenotype and the microvascular function. Additional in vitro studies confirmed that PBMCs from r-axSpA patients promoted endothelial injury. Altogether, this study suggests the relevance of r-axSpA itself as a strong and independent cardiovascular risk factor, contributing to a dysfunctional endothelium and atherogenic status by aberrant activation of PBMCs. Lymphocytes could be the main contributors in the development of ED and subsequent atherosclerosis in this pathology.

Abstract Objectives Choline and other trimethylamine-containing nutrients are metabolized by gut microbiota into Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which is involved in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. The present study was designed to investigate the relation between dietary choline and endothelial dysfunction in mice. Methods Nlrp3 +/+ and Nlrp3 −/− mice were treated with 3% choline chloride in drinking water for 6 months. Plasma concentration of TMAO levels were measured after the treatment. Cardiac and endothelial dysfunction were monitored using echocardiography. Vascular permeability was measured by Evans blue dye perfusion. Confocal microscopy was used to detect the co-localization of Nlrp3 inflammasome components. Caspase-1 activity was measured by colorimetric assay and IL-1β production was measured using ELISA. Western blotting was used to measure tight-junction proteins. Real time PCR analysis was used to determine the TLR-4 and inflammatory markers (ICAM and VCAM) in the carotid arteries of the mice. Results Choline treatment significantly increased plasma TMAO levels in all the groups. Choline treated Nlrp3+/+ mice showed significant impairment in endothelial function and had increased vascular hyper-permeability, enhanced Nlrp3 activation and decreased expression of tight junction proteins like ZO2, VE-cadherin and occludin expression in carotid arteries compared to choline treated Nlrp3−/− mice. Caspase-1 activity and IL-1β production was significantly enhanced in choline treated Nlrp3+/+ mice but not in Nlrp3−/- mice. Real time PCR analysis showed that TLR-4 and inflammatory markers (ICAM & VCAM) were significantly increased in carotid arteries of choline treated Nlrp3+/+ mice compared to Nlrp3−/− mice. Conclusions Our results suggest that chronic choline treatment induced endothelial dysfunction via activation of Nlrp3 inflammasome and other inflammatory markers. Funding Sources NIH - NHLBI, AHA.
