A multitude of clinical studies have highlighted the association between raised levels of CD16 coronary disease. CD16 control subjects with stable coronary artery disease.

MonocyteePlatelet Interactions
Platelets move from a resting state to an activated state in response to endothelial-derived activating factors, such as ADP and thrombin. Activated platelets adhere to damaged endothelium and locally mediate both inammatory and thrombotic events via the secretion of cytokines and interactions with leukocytes, which result in chemotaxis and development of an inammatory milieu within the arterial wall. Activated platelets form complexes with leukocytes, particularly monocytes, as P-selectin, a platelet surface adhesion molecule expressed on the platelet plasmalemma upon activation, binds to its ligand, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) [67,68], which is constitutively expressed by circulating monocytes. These monocyteeplatelet aggregates (MPAs) are measurable in the peripheral blood and serve as an easily quantiable marker of platelet activation and appear to predict cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke
[69,70]. Functionally, MPAs formed at the site of a vascular injury recruit circulating monocytes and facilitate their
adhesion to the endothelium where, following adhesion and migration into the subintima, they differentiate to macrophages and contribute further to atherogenesis [71]. Platelet activation and subsequent MPA formation are increased in the presence of high shear stress within blood vessels, such as occurs around the site of atherosclerotic lesions [72],and circulating MPA levels in humans correlate with coronary plaque size [73] . P-selectin levels are independently associated with carotid atherosclerotic lesions in humans [74].
Inuenza immunization, which is a model of mild systemic inammation used in otherwise healthy subjects, has been used to demonstrate that acute inammation leads to higher circulating levels of activated platelets and MPA formation, which promotes expansion of the CD14 degree of circulating MPAs reported in patients with cardiovascular risk factors or established atherosclerotic disease could represent a key event in the expansion of circulating CD16 cardiovascular disease. Targeting platelet activation could therefore counteract the development of the more proatherogenic

CD16þphenotype with a subsequent benecial effect on ather osclerosis progression. Consistent with this hypothesis, experiments conducted in ApoE aspirin or clopidogrel administration, counteracts the blood monocytosis that accompanies disease progression in this animal model of atherosclerosis, thus reducing inammation [63].
Although they have no effect on circulating lipid levels, antiplatelet drugs act to disrupt pathways in which platelets contribute to atherogenesis, including MPA-driven endothelial recruitment of monocytes and thrombus formation in areas of endothelial damage [75,76]. The pharmacolo gical efcacy of the multiple classes of antiplatelet agents in counteracting antiatherogenic mechanisms is variable. Administration of aspirin does not affect circulating levels of MPAs, whereas clopidogrel appears to impair MPA formation [77,78]. Their distinct mechanisms of action may have differing effects on the intracellular pathways that nally lead to P-selectin expression on acti vated platelets [79]. The possible role of antiplatelet therapy in countering atherogenesis will be explored further later in this chapter.

POLYMORPHePLATELET INTERACTIONS
Other than with monocytes, activated platelets also physically interact with circulating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to form heterotypic aggregates. However, platelets display a reduced binding afnity for PMNs compared with monocytes, for reasons that remain to be precisely identied. Monocytes express a greater level of PSGL-1 than do PMNs, and this has been proposed as a potential explanation for the differential binding of platelets to these cell types [80,81]. Moreover, while the PSGL-1/P-selectin interaction constitutes the main effector in MPA formation, which is therefore secondary to platelet activation, PMNeplatelet aggregation can also occur in the absence of platelet activation [81,82]. Alternative receptor-to-ligand interactions act as a bridging contact between PMNs and platelets in the absence of P-selectin expression, such as those mediated by the Mac-1 receptor on PMNs, which engages platelet receptors through brinogen or directly interacts with molecules expressed on the platelet plasmalemma such as glycoprotein Ib or ICAM
[83]. These molecular interactions are favored by specic conformational changes that Mac-1 undergoes upon cell
stimulation [84], which result in increased afnity of Mac-1 to the aforementioned platelet ligands. This difference in mechanism of plateletePMN interaction compared with MPA formation means that it is the activation status of the PMNs, rather than that of platelets, which is the decisive factor in promoting PMNeplatelet aggregation.
The role of PMNs in atherosclerosis development and progression is, however, less dened than the contribution made by monocytes/macrophages. Experimental evidence from murine models of atherosclerosis [85e87], as well as from atherosclerotic models in nonhuman primates [88], ha s revealed granulocyte inltration of plaques, based on their positive histological staining to myeloperoxidase (MPO) [89,90]. However, the cellular source of MPO could also be attributable to the monocyte/macrophage component [91]. These experimental ndings lack conrmation in human lesions, where failure to detect PMNs can be attributable to the inappropriateness of available techniques or to fast turnover of PMNs within those tissues [90]. However, a putative role of PMNs in atherosclerosis could be ascribed to their ability to favor monocyte transmigration rather than their direct colonization of atherosclerotic plaques. Evidence has emerged that the release of chemotactic substances such as azurocidin [92] and cathepsin G [93] by PMNs promotes monocyte chemotaxis and adhesion to endothelial cells by inducing integrin activation. In keeping with this, neutrophil depletion in animal models has been shown to effectively counteract monocyte recruitment into atherosclerotic lesions [90].
In this context, plateletePMN interaction, which is known to enhance PMN proinammatory activity, can be regarded as an inducer of PMN proatherogenic acti vity. For instance, PSGL-1, along with Mac-1 engagement, stimulates PMN degranulation [94]. However, given the poor stability of PMNeplatelet complexes compared with MPA [69], their measurement in the peripheral blood is highly problematic. This technical limitation makes it difcult to delineate the clinical relevance of their formation to cardiovascular outcomes. MPA level increases with no change in the concentration of PMNeplatelet complexes in patients with acute ischemic stroke, during either the acute or the convalescent phase
[95e97]. In the context of coronary disease, increased PMNeplatelet aggregation has been detected only during acute
myocardial infarction [98] and in unstable angina [99], whereas patients with stable angina had levels of PMNeplatelet aggregates comparable to those of control subjects in patients with both stable and unstable coronary disease, and has been also observed in subjects with underlying cardiovascular risk factors but no cardiovascular symptoms and in the absence of thrombotic events. The level of PMNeplatelet complexes appears to bear little if any relation to these clinical conditions [101,102].
To summarize, the poor stability of PMNeplatelet complexes may lead to underestimation of their level during the subacute and chronic phases of atherosclerosis and, as a consequence, of their contribution to the progression of disease. With regard to their possible proathe rogenic role, this may be attributed to their effect on the biologica l fun ction of myeloid cells.

NETRIN-1
The netrin family are a class of laminin-like proteins, which are named from the Sanskrit word netr,which means one who guides[103]. Netrin-1, the best-characterized member of this group as of this writing, is a secreted protein that was initially identied as an embryonic axonal guidance cue [104] and acts via binding to the deleted in colorectal cancerand neogenin receptors to mediate axonal chemoattractan t activity and via the uncoordinated-5 (UNC5) receptor to induce chemorepulsion [105e107].
In recent years, netrin-1 has emerged as a key regulator in a wide range of pathological conditions, particularly within the eld of oncology, where it has been shown to be of both diagnostic and prognostic value in many cancer subtypes; renal disease, where netrin-1 acts as a biomarker of kidney funct ion; and cardi ovascular disease, thus making it an attractive potential therapeutic target (Fig. 4.4).

Netrin-1 in Atherosclerosis
Netrin-1 has been identied as a fundamental modulator of atherosclerosis, although its precise role in this diseased protective or deleteriousdhas been the subject of much debate. Animal models of hyperlipidemia using LDL
/
mice have shown that deletion of netrin-1 in hematopoietic cells promotes macrophage migration from plaques and ultimately results in reduced atheroma formation [108]. Macrophage-derived foam cells from human coronary artery plaques have been shown to express both netrin-1 and its inhibitory receptor, UNC5, with the latter being responsible for the inhibitory effect of netrin-1 on macrophage migration [108]. UNC5 activation results in macrophage retention within plaques, thus promoting a cycle of chronic inammation. Hypoxic conditions, which typically become increasingly present within the
FIGURE 4.4 Biological roles of netrin-1. The diverse actions of netrin-1 in cardiovascular and renal disease are presented. Netrin-1 directly modulates
survival and migration of different cell types, including cardiomyocytes, leukocytes, and endothelial and tubular renal cells, through engagement of cell­specic receptors, as indicated. These effects result in netrin-1-dependent cardioprotection and reduction of kidney damage in response to ischemia. Netrin-1 also confers antiatherogenic protection, by repelling monocyte arterial inltration. However, netrin-1-induced inhibition of resident macrophage egress from atherosclerotic plaques could be detrimental. The effect of netrin-1 on neoangiogenesis may be benecial in the context of cardiac ischemia but detrimental for atherosclerotic plaque destabilization. The antiinammatory action of netrin-1 is mediated by direct inhibition of leukocyte motility, as well as by a protective effect on target organs that negatively feeds back on inammatory cell trafcking within the tissue. *, Effect on neoangiogenesis within plaques and ischemic myocardium needs to be explored. y, Benecial effect on atherosclerosis onset and progression requires further investigation since it can vary depending on disease stage.

tunic intima as atherosclerosis develops, may also stimulate an upregulation in netrin-1 and UNC5 expression, potentiating plaque formation [109]. Furthermore, netrin-1 upregulation protects macrophages from apoptosis in the presence of hypoxia, thus promoting the survival of cells that will ultimately contribute to atherosclerosis progression [109].
Although the detrimental effect of netrin-1 on macrophage migration from atherosclerotic lesions is well established, several studies have been published providing evidence that netrin-1 may additionally act in a protective capacity. Khan et al. used a murine model of hyperlipidemia in which mice in the treatment group received intravenous netrin-1 copy DNA and were subsequently shown to have lower levels of nitrotyrosine (a ROS marker) and several markers of macrophage and monocyte activity, compa red with untreated control mice [110]. The netrin-1-treat ed mice demonstrated a reduction in plaque formation, presumably through the prevention of monocytes migrating into atherosclerotic plaques [110,111]. Focal application of netrin-1 in this situation highlights another potential pathway in atherogenesis in which modication of netrin-1 expression may retard plaque formation. Of note, a reduction in the endothelial expression of netrin-1 under proatherogenic conditions has been reported by van Gils et al., suggesting that suppression of netrin-1 within the vasculature in response to proatherogenic factors could promote plaque development [108].
In 2012, Delloye-Bourgeois et al. identied that certain cancer cells produce a truncated intranuclear form of netrin-1, as opposed to the well-characterized, full-length, secreted netrin-1 [112]. The majority of studies prior to this had not differentiated between these isoforms, and it has since been postulated that measurement of different isoforms of netrin-1 may explain some of the conicting data surrounding its role in atherosclerosis [79].
The Relationship Between Netrin-1 and Inflammation
Murine models of myocardial ischemiaereperfusion injury (IRI) have shown that elevated netrin-1 expression has a cardioprotective effect, partly achieved by reducing the inltration of neutrophils and recruitment of macrophages that serve to further amplify the proapoptotic inammatory response [113,114]. Similar results have been shown in models of renal IRI as well as other proinammatory states, including acute lung injury, peritonitis, and sepsis [115e117].
Both in vitro and in vivo studies have repeatedly demonstrated that netrin-1 and UNC5B modulate leukocyte migration in proinammatory states [117]. UNC5B is strongly expressed on leukocytes, and increased netrin-1 expression attenuates leukocyte migration and leukocyte-driven inammatory responses [117e 119]. These ndings have generated interest in a potential role for netrin-1 in the modication of inammatory p rocesses.
Administration of netrin-1 suppresses cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression via regulation of nuclear factor k-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB). There is a subsequent reduction in COX-2 metabolites that mediate neutrophil inltration, interferon-g-induced macrophage activation, and TXA production of Th1 helper cell cytokines, which generate interferon-g [118].
The degree to which suppression of the inammatory response is desirable and whether this could have detrimental effects in the context of infection remain unclear.
[120]. Netrin-1 additionally suppresses the

Antiplatelet Therapy and Netrin-1
As mentioned earlier, netrin-1 modulates macrophage migration into and out of plaque sites and thus represents a potential target for modifying progression of atherosclerosis [108]. Passacquale et al. published a series of experiments in which the relationship between endothelial netrin-1 expression and antiplatelet therapy was explored using both in vitro and in vivo models. They found that aspirin, but not clopidogrel, reduced vascular endothelial permeability and increased netrin-1 production in the ApoE atherosclerotic plaques [79]. These ndings suggest that antiplatelet therapy with aspirin may have the potential to modify circulating netrin-1 levels and thus modulate atherosclerosis generation. This, together with the previously mentioned benecial effect of platelet inhibition on blood monocytosis observed in ApoE interaction between platelet activity, endothelial chemorepulsion against monocyte inltration, and monocyte phenotype that can be positively modulated by antiplatelet strategies.
ANTIPLATELET THERAPY AS A POSSIBLE NOVEL APPROACH TO INHIBITING ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Given the role of platelet activation in modulating monocyte phenotype, and in turn the part played by monocyte phenotype in determining their ability to inltrate the vascular wall and contribute to atherogenesis, an obvious question is whether antiplatelet thera py, in addition to its ability to prevent acute ischemic events by virtue of inhibiting

thrombogenesis, may also retard the progression of atherosclerosis when administered long term. In recent years, antiplatelet therapy has become well established in the secondary prevention of acute cardiovascular events in patients with clinically evident preexisting atherosclerotic disease. It has also become increasingly apparent that, when used nonselectively in the context of primary prevention, that is to say, in people with no personal history or clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease, the relatively smaller benet that accrues from antiplatelet therapy, although undoubtedly present, is offset by the increase in bleeding that accompanies such therapy, so that, overall, the benet of such therapy in the primary prevention setting is small or nonexistent. However, it is equally clear that primary prevention represents a spectrum: some individuals may have early atherosclerosis, whereas others may have advanced disease that simply has not yet become manifest. Since we have no straightforward (and importantly, noninvasive) way to distinguish these, they invariably are studied together, whereas they clearly do not represent a homogeneous population. It is likely that those with more advanced disease will benet from antiplatelet therapy to a much greater extent than those with mild atherosclerosis and that any potential benets in the former group are diluted by the relatively smaller effects seen in the latter. But even in patients with mild disease, the question arises as to whether antiplatelet therapy might usefully be given, if those who are at particular risk of bleeding complications are screened out.
In that respect, several studies have attempted to dene predictors of major bleeding; these studies have mainly been conducted in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with aggressive antithrombotic therapy. Increased bleeding has been found to associate with older age, female sex, renal impairment, anemia, prior history of bleeding, and low body weight. Low body weight (<60 kg), age over 75 years, and a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack were predictors of intracranial hemorrhage in the TRITON-TIMI 38 trial, conducted in patients with acute coronary syndrome scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention and undergoing dual antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and prasugrel [121]. A number of risk stratication schemes for evaluation of bleeding risks in patients with acute coronary syndrome have been developed from registry or trial cohorts. These include the CRUSADE and ACTION bleeding risk scores and a score developed by Mehran et al. based on data from the ACUITY and HORIZONS trials; female sex, renal impairment, and anemia are common to the three systems [122e124]. Both the CRUSADE and the ACTION bleeding risk scores predict in-hospital major bleeding; scores of 20, 21e30, 31e40, 41e50, and >50 are indicative of very low, low, moderate, high, and very high bleeding risks. The Mehran et al. bleeding risk score predicts 30-day non-coronary artery bypass bleeding; patients with scores of <10, 10e14, 15e19, and 20 are classied as low, moderate, high, and very high risk of bleeding. All of these scoring systems appear to be useful in research, though their clinical usefulness and their validity in the clinical setting remain to be establis hed. The application of these or other algorithms, yet to be developed, for identifying those individuals at low risk of bleeding may enable bett er identication of patients who would usefully benet from antiplatelet therapy in the primary prevention setting. In such patients, it is hypothesized that, not only will antiplatelet therapy prevent acute thrombotic events, but also with long-term therapy it may retard atherosclerosis progression. The question therefore arises: what is the evidence that antiplatelet therapy affects the pathophysiology of atherogenesis?
The available evidence for this is currently limited to animal models. In ApoE over 10 weeks reduced the progression of atherosclerosis; by contrast, no such effect was seen with meloxicam, a COX-2 inhibitor [125]. In another study of ApoE

reduced atherosclerotic lesions, and at the same time suppressed P-selectin, platelet factor 4, RANTES, and CD40L expression in aortic plaque in those mice; the efcacy of ginkgolide B in decreasing atherosclerosis was similar to that of aspirin [126]. In ApoE/LDL receptor double-knockout mice, low-dose (4 mg/kg/day) aspirin decreased atherosclerosis, an effect not seen with higher-dose (40 mg/kg/day) aspirin, which was found to possibly be explained by a greater suppressive effect of the higher-dose aspirin on vascular generation of NO and prostacyclin [127]. Liu et al. reported that aspirin improves plaque progression in ApoE known to be important in atherosclerosis [128]) in murine aorta [129].
In a study by Cherdon et al., however, aspirin was ineffective in reducing atherosclerosis progression in ApoE but these authors found that the dual thromboxane synthase inhibitor/thromboxane receptor antagonist BM-573 was effective in this respect [130]. Most recently, it has been demonstrated, again in ApoE

reduces plaque size as well as content of monocytes/macrophages, and that its antiatherogenic effect appears to be mediated through its ability to increase vascular endothelial synthesis of netrin-1 [79]. The weight of evidence from this widely used murine model of atherosclerosis is therefore that antiplatelet therapy (and most of the evidence in this respect is with aspirin) retards the progression of atherosclerosis. This is backed up from evidence in cholesterol-fed rabbits (another widely used animal model of atherosclerosis), in which aspirin has been found to retard aortic plaque formation, an effect that was blocked by coadministration of the COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib [131].
In humans, the evidence that antiplatelet therapy may inhibit atherogenesis is so far all indirect; and such evidence that exists is with aspirin. Low-dose aspirin has been found to reduce secretion by adipocytes of chemerin, a peptide that acts as

https://t.me/med1917
a chemoattractant for macrophages, among other actions, through reducing proinammatory cytokine secretion by macrophages [132]. In another immunization model of mild inammation, using Salmonella typhi vaccine, aspirin has been shown to protect against inammation-induced endothelial dysfunction [133]. In patients with stable angina, aspirin decreases plasma levels of several inammatory cytokines, including IL-6, CRP, and monocyte colony-stimulating factor
[134]. The case for aspirin in primary prevention is strengthened by the ndings that aspirin use in hypertensive patients is
associated with increased arterial compliance over a relatively short time frame (2 weeks) [135], and that its ability to prevent myocardial infarction in the context of primary prevention appears to be directly related to CRP levels, indicating that its antiinammatory effects may be at least as important as its antithrombotic actions [136]. An as-yet unanswered question is whether any antiatherogenic effects of aspirin, separate from its antithrombotic properties, may differ between patients with elevated or normal inammatory markers.
CONCLUSIONS
Although the prothrombotic activity of platelets has been well established for many decades now, it has only recently been recognized that platelets also play an important proinammatory role through their modulation of leukocyte activity, through both direct and indirect mechanisms. In this context, it is now clear that not only do platelets mediate arterial thrombotic events in the short term, but they also participate in longer term buildup of plaque. This raises the possibility that antiplatelet therapy, using either existing drugs (which largely act on homotypic aggregation) or future therapies, which may exert a preferential effect on heterotypic aggregation (and hence formation of leukocyteeplatelet aggregates, including MPAs), may prove to be a useful novel therapeutic approach to preventing atherosclerosis progression; the latter type of therapy may also circumvent the problem of increased bleeding tendency, which is the main drawback of currently available antiplatelet therapies and which is the main limitati on to their usefulness in primary prevention. The evidence for such an approach is now well established in animal models of atherosclerosis, but the case in humans is yet to be proved.
