Atherosclerosis, a vascular disease, progresses through distinct phases involving inflammatory cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and lipid core formation. Plaque rupture can lead to severe cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Atherogenesis is a progressive disease affecting medium and large arteries.
  • Early lesions, characterized by monocyte adhesion and macrophage foam cell formation, are prevalent in youth.
  • Lesion progression involves smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, leading to lumen compromise.

Purpose:

  • To elucidate the multi-phase pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
  • To explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving lesion development and progression.
  • To discuss current hypotheses regarding the multifactorial etiology of atherosclerosis, including the 'response to injury' model.

Summary:

  • Atherosclerosis progresses through three phases: initial inflammatory lesions with foam cells, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and necrotic lipid core formation with fibrous caps.

  • Plaque rupture, triggered by inflammation or mechanical stress, leads to thrombosis and clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
  • Research challenges include the decades-long silent progression and limitations of animal models, with ongoing debate on the roles of LDL, immune responses, infections, and genetics.

    • Impact:

    • Understanding atherosclerosis pathogenesis informs the identification of established risk factors like hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes.
    • Knowledge of atherosclerosis mechanisms supports interventions including lifestyle changes, exercise, and pharmacological control of risk factors.
    • Atherosclerosis is redefined from a degenerative process to a complex, multifactorial disease with identifiable risk and protective factors.
