Review

Current Perspective on the Role of Apoptosis in Atherothrombotic Disease

Ziad Mallat, Alain Tedgui

From Institut Fédératif de Recherche "Circulation Paris VII " and INSERM U541, Hôpital Lariboisière, Paris, France.

Abstract—Thrombus formation on a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque is a threatening event that leads to vessel occlusion and acute ischemia. In this current perspective, we present evidence for apoptosis as a major determinant of the thrombogenicity of the plaque lipid core and a potential contributor to plaque erosion and associated thrombosis. Moreover, apoptosis may directly affect blood thrombogenicity through the release of apoptotic cells and microparticles into the bloodstream.


Key Words: apoptosis • thrombosis • atherosclerosis • acute coronary syndromes
