Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by systemic inflammation. While RA primarily affects the joints, its systemic effects may lead to an increased cerebro- and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events and serves as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.

Objective: Atherosclerosis underlies the most common etiologies of mortality worldwide, resulting in nearly 10 million deaths annually. In atherosclerosis, inflammation, metabolic factors, and hemodynamics cause the accumulation of extracellular lipids and the formation of plaques in the tunica intima of specific arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques primarily form in the coronary and carotid arteries, the aorta, and the peripheral arteries of the lower extremities.

We describe a previously uncharacterized ATP-binding cassette A1 super enhancer RNA (ABCA1-seRNA)-mediated cholesterol efflux. In addition, it promoted macrophage inflammatory cytokine release, and was causally correlated with coronary artery disease severity. Mechanistically, ABCA1-seRNA upregulated cholesterol efflux by interacting with mediator complex subunit 23 and recruiting retinoid X receptor-alpha and liver X receptor-alpha to promote ABCA1 transcription in a manner.

Background And Aims: Atherosclerosis is a chronic cardiovascular disease which is regarded as one of the most common causes of death in the elderly. Recent evidence has shown that atherosclerotic patients can benefit by targeting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β). Aloperine (ALO) is an alkaloid which is mainly isolated from L.

Selenium-Doped Copper Formate Nanozymes with Antisenescence and Oxidative Stress Reduction for Atherosclerosis Treatment.

Atherosclerosis, resulting from chronic inflammation of the arterial wall, serves as the underlying cause of multiple major cardiovascular diseases. Current anti-inflammatory therapies often exhibit limited and unsatisfactory efficacy. To address this, we have designed a selenium-doped copper formate (Cuf-Se) nanozyme for the treatment of atherosclerosis, which possesses superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activities.
