Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory disease associated with serious comorbidities. Psoriasis can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life and is associated with loss of productivity, depression, and an increased prevalence of malignancy. Emerging comorbidities of psoriasis include cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Psoriasis patients have an increased prevalence of the core components of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. The relationship between psoriasis and comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease is likely linked to the underlying chronic inflammatory nature of psoriasis. The molecular mechanisms involved in psoriasis-associated dysregulation of metabolic function are believed to be due, in large part, to the action of increased levels of proinflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, that are central to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recent studies investigating the effects of tumor necrosis factor antagonists on the treatment of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome support this concept.

Abstract
We recently showed that Chlamydia pneumoniae activates platelets in vitro, with an associated oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. The aim of this study was to investigate whether C. pneumoniae is released during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and, thereby, causes platelet activation and lipid peroxidation. Seventy-three patients undergoing coronary angiography and following PCI or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and 57 controls were included in the study. C. pneumoniae antibodies, serotonin and lipid peroxidation were measured before and 24 h, 1 month and 6 months after angiography. The results show that serum C. pneumoniae IgA concentrations were significantly higher in patients than in the controls. Furthermore, in 38% of the C. pneumoniae IgG positive patients, the C. pneumoniae IgG concentration increased 1 month after PCI. The levels of C. pneumoniae IgG antibodies 1 month after PCI correlated with plasma-lipid peroxidation (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001) and platelet-derived serotonin (r = 0.62, P = 0.02). There was no elevation in the total serum IgG 1 month after PCI. In conclusion, the present results suggest that PCI treatment of coronary stenosis releases C. pneumoniae from the atherosclerotic lesions, which leads to platelet activation and lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In type 2 diabetes, metformin reduces cardiovascular risk beyond the effect of glycaemic control. Since oxidative stress and the consequent enhanced platelet activation contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetes, we hypothesized that metformin could reduce oxidative stress in this condition. METHODS We randomized 26 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic subjects to assume either metformin (M, n = 13) or gliclazide (G, n = 13) for 12 weeks. Drugs were titrated as needed to achieve good glycaemic control. Before and after treatment, we determined blood glucose, insulin, HbA(1c), vitamin A and E levels and 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 11-dehydro-thromboxane B(2) urinary excretion, an in vivo oxidative stress and a thromboxane-dependent platelet activation marker, respectively. RESULTS Notwithstanding a comparable improvement in metabolic control, 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) (M from 708 +/- 32 to 589 +/- 45 pg/mg cr, p < 0.001; G from 646 +/- 80 to 665 +/- 79, pg/mg cr, p = ns) and 11-dehydro-thromboxane B(2) (M from 2190 +/- 196 to 1753 +/- 150 pg/mg cr, p < 0.05; G from 2048 +/- 202 to 1923 +/- 223, pg/mg cr, p = ns) urinary excretion decreased after metformin but not after gliclazide treatment. After metformin, vitamin A and E levels significantly increased while they remained unchanged after gliclazide. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that metformin could improve oxidative stress, preserve antioxidant function and restrain platelet activation in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obese Zucker rats, animal model for the metabolic syndrome, develop a diabetes-like neuropathy that is independent of hyperglycemia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether drugs used to treat cardiovascular dysfunction in metabolic syndrome also protect nerve function. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Obese Zucker rats at 20 weeks of age were treated for 12 weeks with enalapril or rosuvastatin. Lean rats were used as controls. Vasodilation in epineurial arterioles was measured by videomicroscopy. Endoneurial blood flow (EBF) was measured by hydrogen clearance and nerve conduction velocity was measured following electrical stimulation of motor or sensory nerves. RESULTS Enalapril treatment decreased serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and both drugs reduced serum cholesterol levels. In obese Zucker rats at 32 weeks of age superoxide levels were elevated in the aortas and epineurial arterioles, which were reduced by treatment with either drug. Nitrotyrosine levels were increased in epineurial arterioles and reduced with enalapril treatment. EBF was decreased and corrected by treatment with either drug. Motor nerve conduction velocity was decreased and significantly improved with enalapril treatment. Obese Zucker rats were hypoalgesic in response to a thermal stimulus and this was significantly improved with either treatment. Treatment with either enalapril or rosuvastatin significantly reversed the decrease in acetylcholine-mediated vascular relaxation of epineurial arterioles in obese Zucker rats. DISCUSSION Even though obese Zucker rats have normal glycemia vascular and neural dysfunctions develop with age and can be improved by treatment with either enalapril or rosuvastatin.

Abstract
Incomplete suppression of thromboxane biosynthesis during aspirin therapy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Since systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with platelet activation and increased cardiovascular mortality, we compared thromboxane and prostacyclin biosynthesis in patients with SLE and control subjects, and measured inhibition of thromboxane excretion in aspirin-treated subjects. We measured the urinary excretion of 11-dehydro thromboxane B 2 (TXB2) and 2,3-dinor 6-ketoPGF1α (PGI-M), the stable metabolites of thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin, respectively, in 74 patients with SLE and 70 controls. In subjects who were not receiving aspirin, TXB2 excretion was higher in patients with SLE [0.40 ng/mg creatinine (0.26—0.64), median (interquartile range)] than controls [0.31 ng/mg creatinine (0.23—0.44)] ( P = 0.04), and in these patients, TXB2 excretion correlated with disease activity (rho = 0.28, P = 0.03) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (rho = 0.48, P < 0.001). Aspirin therapy resulted in significantly lower TXB2 excretion in controls ( P = 0.01), but not in patients with SLE ( P = 0.10), compared with subjects not receiving aspirin. Prostacyclin biosynthesis did not differ among patients and controls, and was not affected by aspirin ( P all >0.35). Thromboxane biosynthesis is increased in SLE and is associated with disease activity. Additionally, response to aspirin may be attenuated in some patients with SLE. Lupus (2007) 16, 981—986.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because obesity is associated with chronic oxidative and inflammatory stress, and high-fat, high-carbohydrate meals induce significant oxidative and inflammatory stress in normal subjects, we have now hypothesized that the intake of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal would result in a greater and more prolonged oxidative and inflammatory stress in the obese than in normal subjects. METHODS Ten normal-weight and eight obese subjects were given a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal after an overnight fast. Blood samples were collected at baseline and hourly following the meal for 3 h. RESULTS Reactive oxygen species generation by mononuclear cells increased significantly by 2 h in both groups but continued to increase significantly at 3 h in the obese subjects, whereas in normal subjects it returned to baseline. Levels of p47(phox) increased significantly (by 81 +/- 26%) at 3 h in obese individuals (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant change in p47(phox) in normal subjects. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA binding in mononuclear cells increased significantly (by 48 +/- 58%, P < 0.036) at 2 h but not at 3 h in normal subjects, whereas in the obese, nuclear factor-kappaB increased significantly at both 2 and 3 h (by 36 +/- 57 and 42 +/- 63%, respectively, P < 0.004). Matrix metalloproteinase-9 concentrations were significantly higher in the obese at baseline (580 +/- 103.9 vs. 373 +/- 30.03 ng/ml, P < 0.05) and increased to significantly greater concentrations after the meal than in the lean subjects. CONCLUSIONS High-fat, high-carbohydrate meals induced a significantly more prolonged and greater oxidative and inflammatory stress in the obese. This may contribute to the increased atherogenic risk in obesity.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that atherosclerosis (ATS) is enhanced in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The reason for this accelerated process is still debatable and, although traditional risk factors are more prevalent in SLE patients than in general population, they do not seem to fully explain the enhanced risk. ATS has the characteristics of an autoimmune chronic disease, involving both the innate and the adaptive immunity. Moreover, it satisfies the four criteria defining an autoimmune disease, proposed by Witebsky and Rose. It has been shown that some autoantibodies, including anti-oxLDL, anti-beta(2)GPI, anti-HSP60/65, and more recently anti-oxLDL/beta(2)GPI, play a key role in the pathogenesis of ATS. However the role of these autoantibodies in accelerated ATS in SLE patients is still controversial. In fact, some of them seem to be proatherogenic and other protective; moreover, it has been demonstrated that induced oral tolerance has a protective role against ATS. We have recently observed that the levels of oxLDL/beta(2)GPI antigenic complexes and their antibodies were higher in patients with SLE than in healthy subjects, but we did not find a clear association between oxLDL/beta(2)GPI complexes and IgG or IgM anti-oxLDL/beta(2)GPI autoantibodies and subclinical ATS in SLE patients. Many other studies are required to explain the role of autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of ATS in SLE patients, because the characteristics of SLE seem to mask their effects for atherogenesis.

Abstract
Drinking arsenic-contaminated water is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. Arsenate (iAs(V)), arsenite (iAs(III)), monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA(V)), dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) have all been detected in the urine of people who drink arsenic-contaminated water. The aim of this research was to investigate which of these arsenicals are more hazardous to human urothelial cells. The results indicate that iAs(III), MMA(III), and DMA(III) were more potent in inducing cytotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, oxidative DNA damage, nitric oxide, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and cellular free iron than MMA(V), DMA(V), and iAs(V) in human urothelial carcinoma and transformed cells. However, the results did not show convincingly that the trivalent arsenicals were more potent than pentavalent arsenicals in decreasing the intracellular contents of total thiol, protein thiol, and reduced glutathione. Induction of oxidative DNA damage was observed with 0.2 microM of iAs(III), MMA(III), or DMA(III) as early as 1h. Because of its high oxidative damage, higher proportion in urine, and lower cytotoxicity, DMA(III) may be the most hazardous arsenical to human urothelial cells.

Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) circulate in the peripheral blood and reside in blood vessel walls. A hierarchy of EPCs exists where progenitors can be discriminated based on their clonogenic potential. EPCs are exposed to oxidative stress during vascular injury as residents of blood vessel walls or as circulating cells homing to sites of neovascularization. Given the links between oxidative injury, endothelial cell dysfunction, and vascular disease, we tested whether EPCs were sensitive to oxidative stress using newly developed clonogenic assays. Strikingly, in contrast to previous reports, we demonstrate that the most proliferative EPCs (high proliferative potential-endothelial colony-forming cells and low proliferative potential-endothelial colony-forming cells) had decreased clonogenic capacity after oxidant treatment. In addition, EPCs exhibited increased apoptosis and diminished tube-forming ability in vitro and in vivo in response to oxidative stress, which was directly linked to activation of a redox-dependent stress-induced kinase pathway. Thus, this study provides novel insights into the effect of oxidative stress on EPCs. Furthermore, this report outlines a framework for understanding how oxidative injury leads to vascular disease and potentially limits the efficacy of transplantation of EPCs into ischemic tissues enriched for reactive oxygen species and oxidized metabolites.
