All Ambrotose treatments were well-tolerated. There were no differences among treatments in heart rate or blood pressure across time. Self-reported well-being scores were generally higher for the Ambrotose treatments but there were no changes of statistical significance across time (p > 0. …

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the deposition of lipids within the artery wall. During atherogenesis, efficient autophagy is needed to facilitate efferocytosis and cholesterol efflux, limit inflammation and lipid droplet buildup, and eliminate defective mitochondria and protein aggregates. Central to the regulation of autophagy is the transcription factor EB (TFEB), which coordinates the expression of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy genes. In recent years, trehalose has been shown to promote TFEB activation and protect against atherogenesis. Here, we sought to investigate the role of autophagy activation during atherosclerosis regression. Methods and Results: Atherosclerosis was established in C57BL/6N mice by injecting AAV-PCSK9 and 16 weeks of Western diet feeding, followed by switching to a chow diet to induce atherosclerosis regression. During the regression period, mice were either injected with trehalose concomitant with trehalose supplementation in their drinking water or injected with saline for 6 weeks. Female mice receiving trehalose had reduced atherosclerosis burden, as evidenced by reduced plaque lipid content, macrophage numbers and IL-1b content in parallel with increased plaque collagen deposition, which was not observed in their male counterparts. In addition, trehalose-treated female mice had lower levels of circulating leukocytes, including inflammatory monocytes and CD4 + T cells. Lastly, we found that autop...

Atherosclerosis, cholesterol-driven plaque formation in arteries, is a complex multicellular disease which is a leading cause of vascular diseases. During the progression of atherosclerosis, the autophagic function is impaired, resulting in lipid accumulation-mediated foam cell formation. The stimulation of autophagy is crucial for the recovery of cellular recycling process. One of the potential autophagy inducers is trehalose, a naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide. However, trehalose has poor bioavailability due to its hydrophilic nature which results in poor penetration through cell membranes. To enhance its bioavailability, we developed trehalose-releasing nanogels (TNG) for the treatment of atherosclerosis. The nanogels were fabricated through copolymerization of 6-O-acryloyl-trehalose with the selected acrylamide-type monomers affording a high trehalose conjugation (~ 58%, w/w). TNG showed a relatively small hydrodynamic diameter (dH, 67 nm) and a uniform spherical shape and were characterized by negative ζ potential (-18 mV). Thanks to the trehalose-rich content, TNG demonstrated excellent colloidal stability in biological media containing serum and were non-hemolytic to red blood cells. In vitro study confirmed that TNG could stimulate autophagy in foam cells and enhance lipid efflux and in vivo study in ApoE−/− mice indicated a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaques, while increasing autophagic markers. In conclusion, TNG hold great promise as a trehalose delivery system to restore impaired autophagy-mediated lipid efflux in atherosclerosis and subsequently reduce atherosclerotic plaques.

Glucosamine hydrochloride (GAH) is a natural component of glycoproteins present in almost all human tissues and participates in the construction of human tissues and cell membranes. GAH has a wide range of biological activities, particularly in anti-inflammatory and osteogenic damage repair. At present, little is known about how GAH functions in angiogenesis. To determine the role of GAH on vascular development and impairment repair, we used the inhibitors VRI, DMH1, and dorsomorphin (DM) to construct vascular-impaired models in Tg(kdrl: mCherry) transgenic zebrafish. We then treated with GAH and measured its repair effects on vascular impairment through fluorescence intensity, mRNA, and protein expression levels of vascular-specific markers. Our results indicate that GAH promotes vascular development and repairs impairment by regulating the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway through modulation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. This study provides an experimental basis for the development of GAH as a drug to repair vascular diseases.
