Modulation of nNOS(ser852) phosphorylation and translocation by PKA/PP1 pathway in endothelial cells

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

2018

Role of ERK1/2 activation and nNOS uncoupling on endothelial dysfunction induced by lysophosphatidylcholine

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

Background and aims: Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) - a main component of oxidized LDL -is involved in endothelial dysfunction that precedes atherosclerosis, with an increased superoxide anions and a reduced NO production via endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) ...

Treatment with Angiotensin-(1-7) reduces inflammation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Katia Galan

Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), acting through the receptor Mas, has athero-protective effects; however, its role on plaque vulnerability has been poorly studied. Here, we investigated the expression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components in stable and ...

Treatment with Evasin-3 reduces atherosclerotic vulnerability for ischemic stroke, but not brain injury in mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva, Jean-Christophe Copin, Katia Galan

Neutrophilic inflammation might have a pathophysiological role in both carotid plaque rupture and ischemic stroke injury. Here, we investigated the potential benefits of the CXC chemokine-binding protein Evasin-3, which potently inhibits chemokine bioactiv ...

Nature Publishing Group2013

The selective pharmacologic inhibition of CXC chemokines is associated with an improvement of histological features of vulnerability in mouse atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Katia Galan

Wiley-Blackwell2013

The activation of the cannabinoid receptor type 2 reduces neutrophilic protease-mediated vulnerability in atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Katia Galan

The activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)-mediated pathways might represent a promising anti-atherosclerotic treatment. Here, we investigated the expression of the endocannabinoid system in human carotid plaques and the impact of CB2 pharmacologi ...
