Purpose Of Review: High-fat diets contribute to hyperlipidemia and dysregulated metabolism underlying insulin resistant states and cardiovascular diseases. Neointimal hyperplasia is a significant resulting morbidity. Increased fatty acid (FA) levels lead to dysfunctional endothelium, defined as activated, proinflammatory and prothrombotic. The purpose of this review is to assess the recent literature on the emerging concept that uptake of FA into many tissues is regulated at the endothelial level, and this in turn contributes to endothelial dysfunction, an initiating factor in insulin resistant states, atherosclerosis and neointimal hyperplasia.
Recent Findings: Studies support the role of endothelial FA uptake proteins as an additional level of regulation in tissue FA uptake. These proteins include CD36, FA transport proteins, FA-binding proteins and caveolin-1. In many cases, inappropriate expression of these proteins can result in a change in FA and glucose uptake, storage and utilization. Accumulation of plasma FA is one mechanism by which alterations in expression of FA uptake proteins can lead to endothelial dysfunction; changes in tissue substrate metabolism leading to inflammation are also implicated.
Summary: Identification of the critical players and regulators can lead to therapeutic targeting to reduce endothelial dysfunction and sequela such as insulin resistance and neointimal hyperplasia.

Synthetic vascular grafts are promising conduits for small caliber arteries. However, due to restenosis caused by intimal hyperplasia, they cannot keep long patency in vivo. In this work, through single cell RNA sequencing, we found that thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) was highly expressed in the regenerated smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts.

The failure of synthetic small-diameter vascular grafts has been attributed to a mismatch in the compliance between the graft and native artery, driving mechanisms that promote thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia. Additionally, the buckling of grafts results in large deformations that can lead to device failure. Although design features can be added to lessen the buckling potential (e.

Despite the significant alleviation of clinical cardiovascular diseases through appropriate interventional treatments, the recurrence of vascular restenosis necessitating reoperation remains a substantial challenge impacting patient prognosis. Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs) are integral to interspecies cellular communication, with their functions and potential applications garnering significant attention from the research community. This study extracted -derived exosome-like nanovesicles (SL-ELNs) and demonstrated their inhibition of PDGF-BB-induced proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

In clinical practice, the demand for functional small-diameter vascular grafts continues to increase. In this study, a decellularized aorta artery was inserted into a poly(caprolactone) (PCL) vascular scaffold for self-assembly in-vitro to create a hybrid scaffold. The hybrid scaffold was then implanted subcutaneously into the dorsal flanks and the subcutaneous extracellular matrix was applied for bilayer adhesion.

Introduction: Neointimal hyperplasia is one of the persistent complications after vascular interventions, and is the major cause of treatment failure. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) emerges as a crucial factor in many biological processes and plays an important role in vascular diseases. Adventitial injection is catching attention for its effectiveness and fewer side effects.
