Over the course of more than a century, NO donating formulations such as organic nitrates and nitrites have remained a cornerstone of treatment for patients with cardiovascular diseases. These donors primarily produce NO in the circulation and are not targeted to specific (sub)cellular sites of action. However, safe, and therapeutic levels of NO require delivery of the right amount to a precise location at the right time. To achieve these aims, several recent strategies aimed at therapeutically generating or releasing NO in living systems have shown that polymeric and inorganic (silica, gold) nanoparticles and nanoscale metal-organic frameworks could either generate NO endogenously by the catalytic decomposition of endogenous NO substrates or can store and release therapeutically relevant amounts of NO gas. NO-releasing nanomaterials have been developed for vascular implants (such as stents and grafts) to target atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cardiac tissue engineering. In this review, we discuss the advances in design and development of novel NO-releasing nanomaterials for cardiovascular therapeutics and critically examine the therapeutic potential of these nanoplatforms to modulate cellular metabolism, to regulate vascular tone, inhibit platelet aggregation, and limit proliferation of vascular smooth muscle with minimal toxic effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14831,"journal":{"name":"JACC: Basic to Translational Science","volume":"9 5","pages":"Pages 691-709"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452302X23003315/pdfft?md5=dc3b7845445ec62e5e749327ff2dddd6&pid=1-s2.0-S2452302X23003315-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135848998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A discussion of multiple modalities is included: computed tomography (CT) imaging (the major focus of the review), cardiac magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and positron emission tomography imaging. The review covers recent progress in new technologies such as the novel CT biomarkers of coronary inflammation (eg, the perivascular fat attenuation index), new inflammation-specific tracers for positron emission tomography–CT imaging, and others. The strengths and limitations of each modality are explored, highlighting the potential for multi-modality imaging and the use of artificial intelligence image interpretation to improve both diagnostic and prognostic potential for common conditions such as coronary artery disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14831,"journal":{"name":"JACC: Basic to Translational Science","volume":"9 5","pages":"Pages 710-732"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452302X23004643/pdfft?md5=148dcf2964c24edaf141033b19dfd39e&pid=1-s2.0-S2452302X23004643-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138691496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, endothelial circRNA-LONP2 overexpression promoted endothelial inflammation and atherosclerosis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circRNA-LONP2 competitively sponged miR-200a-3p and subsequently promoted Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1, Yes-associated protein 1, and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression, thereby inactivating nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 signaling, promoting oxidative stress and endothelial inflammation, and accelerating atherosclerosis.
