Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play a significant role in atherosclerosis and their targeting is a strategic approach that may affect multiple pathways influencing disease progression. This study aimed to perform a systematic review to reveal current evidence on the role of HIF-1α and VEGF immunophenotypes with other prognostic markers as potential biomarkers of atherosclerosis prognosis and treatment efficacy.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of the current literature to explore the role of HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression along with the relation to the prognosis and therapeutic strategies of atherosclerosis.

The accumulation of uric acid in arteriosclerotic plaques has recently attracted attention. Because the interaction between hyperuricemia and atherosclerosis is complex, the details remain obscure. We aimed to elucidate the clinical effect of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) deposition on carotid plaques.

Omics Approaches to Study Perilipins and Their Significant Biological Role in Cardiometabolic Disorders.

Lipid droplets (LDs), highly dynamic cellular organelles specialized in lipid storage and maintenance of lipid homeostasis, contain several proteins on their surface, among which the perilipin (Plin) family stands out as the most abundant group of LD-binding proteins. They play a pivotal role in influencing the behavior and functionality of LDs, regulating lipase activity, and preserving a balance between lipid synthesis and degradation, which is crucial in the development of obesity and abnormal accumulation of fat in non-adipose tissues, causing negative adverse biological effects, such as insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation. The expression levels of Plins are often associated with various diseases, such as hepatic steatosis and atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Background: Inflammation markers in the blood may indicate a higher risk of unstable atherosclerosis. Selectins, a group of transmembrane glycoproteins, contribute to inflammation by helping certain blood cells bind to the endothelium.

Methods: The study included 100 patients with stable early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD), 75 men (aged 50-54) and 25 women (aged 55-64).

Coronary obstruction following plaque rupture is a critical pathophysiological change in the progression of stable angina (SAP) to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The accumulation of platelets and various inflammatory cells on apoptotic endothelial cells is a key factor in arterial obstruction after plaque rupture. Through single-cell sequencing analysis (scRNA-seq) of plaques from SAP and ACS patients, we identified significant changes in the annexin V and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 pathways.
