INFLUENCE OF INDUCED INFLAMMATION UPON COLLAGEN METABOLISM OF UNSTABLE ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE IN MURINE MODEL
Abstract. Mediators of inflammation may play a sufficient role in destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque, disturbing the balance between collagen formation and its degradation in fibrotic capsule. Using a transgenic murine model, the effects of induced inflammation upon expression of factors dete...

| Sumario: | Abstract. Mediators of inflammation may play a sufficient role in destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque, disturbing the balance between collagen formation and its degradation in fibrotic capsule. Using a transgenic murine model, the effects of induced inflammation upon expression of factors determining posttranslational modification and degradation of collagen, i.e., prolyl-4-hydroxylase, matrix metalloproteinases-2, -9 (MMP-2, -9), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) were evaluated. It has been shown that, under significant increase of interferon-γ and interleukin-1β, the synthesis of prolyl-4-hydroxylase and MMP - 9 is decreased, whereas expression of collagen, MMP-2 and TIMP-1 genes was not changed.
