摘要
目前动脉粥样硬化(Atherosclerosis,AS)被认为是一种慢性炎症疾病,一种自身免疫性疾病,树突状细胞(Dendriticcell,DC)是目前发现的功能最强的专职性抗原提呈细胞(APC),近年来研究发现DC在AS斑块中聚集增多,提示其免疫机制参与了AS的发生和发展。
It is believed that atherosclerosis(AS) is an inflammato ry disease, or an autoimmune disease. Dendritic cells(DCs) were the most functio nal antigen presentation cell (APC) required for the initiation of adaptive immu ne responses. Recently, DCs were detected in the arterial wall and found increas e in atherosclerotic lesions. It suggested that immunity might contribute to ath erogenesis. Therefore, we summarize the basic and clinical studies of DCs and AS as following.
