Enhanced External Counterpulsation Attenuates Atherosclerosis Progression Through Modulation of Proinflammatory Signal Pathway

OBJECTIVE—Shear stress may be the most crucial local factor affecting atherogenesis.

description OBJECTIVE—Shear stress may be the most crucial local factor affecting atherogenesis. The present study investigated the effect of exposure to increased shear stress promoted by enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on the progression of atherosclerosis and the underlying inflammation-related molecular mechanisms in a porcine model of hypercholesterolemia. METHODS AND RESULTS—Hypercholesterolemic pigs were subjected to a 7-week EECP intervention while being fed a high-cholesterol diet. EECP resulted in a 34.38% increase of mean wall shear stress and a significantly lower pulsatility index in the brachial artery. The animals receiving EECP showed a marked reduction in atherosclerotic lesion size in the coronary artery and abdominal aorta compared with the hypercholesterolemic control group, associated with a decrease in macrophage accumulation. The expression of a set of genes involved in inflammation (including C-reactive protein [CRP], complement 3a, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-1], and inducible nitric oxide synthase), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-p38 phosphorylation, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, was attenuated. CONCLUSION—These findings suggested that long-term EECP exerts a retarding effect on atherosclerosis by downregulating proinflammatory gene expression. The underlying mechanisms are related to chronic exposure to increased pulsatile shear stress promoted by EECP; this exposure suppresses the overactivation of the MAPK-P38/NF-κB/VCAM-1 signaling pathway induced by hypercholesterolemia.
