Atherosclerosis is a complex inflammatory process associated with high-mortality cardiovascular diseases. Today, there growing body of evidence linking atherosclerosis to mutations mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). But the mechanism this link insufficiently studied. progression involves different cell types and macrophages are one most important. Due their high plasticity, can demonstrate pro-inflammatory pro-atherogenic (macrophage type M1) or anti-inflammatory anti-atherogenic M2) effects. These two types, formed as result external stimuli, differ significantly in metabolic profile, which suggests central role mitochondria implementation macrophage polarization route. According this, we assume that mtDNA causing disturbances play an internal trigger, leading formation M1 M2. This review provides comparative analysis characteristics function possible associations linked inflammation-based pathologies including atherosclerosis.

Abstract The negative effects of obesity on the cardiovascular health have drawn much attention. Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) has been proved to reflect weight-independent centripetal obesity. However, association between WWI and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) not reported before. Using data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2014, we aimed determine relationship AAC in adults aged ≥ 40 years. was determined by dividing waist circumference square root weight. measured dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry quantified Kauppila scores. Severe (SAAC) defined as an score > 6. We utilized weighed multivariable logistic regression generalized additive model explore independent AAC. Threshold were further calculated two-piecewise linear model. 3082 participants enrolled our analysis, which 48.2% male. positively associated with scores (β = 0.34, 95% CI 0.05–0.63) exhibited a nonlinear SAAC.

Abstract Vascular calcification (VC) is recognized as a pathological vascular disorder associated with various diseases, such atherosclerosis, hypertension, aortic valve stenosis, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, well chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it life‐threatening state for human health. There were several studies targeting mechanisms of VC that revealed the importance smooth muscle cells transdifferentiating, phosphorous and calcium milieu, matrix vesicles on progress VC. However, underlying molecular need to be elucidated. Though there no acknowledged effective therapeutic strategy reverse or cure clinically, recent evidence has proved not passive irreversible comorbidity but an active process regulated by many factors. Some available approaches mechanism provide promising prospects therapy This review aims summarize novel findings interventions VC, including role inflammatory responses, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, iron homeostasis, metabolic imbalance, some related signaling pathways progression. We also conclude controversial in clinical practice channel blockers, renin–angiotensin system inhibitions, statins, bisphosphonates, denosumab, vitamins, ion conditioning agents.
