Citomegalovirus y aterosclerosis. ¿Existe alguna relación?

Abstract

RESUMEN: El papel de las infecciones en la aterosclerosis ha sido ampliamente estudiado. El citomegalovirus es uno de los agentes infecciosos que podría estar implicado. Varios estudios epidemiológicos muestran la posible asociación entre el virus y la aterosclerosis, mientras que otros no han encontrado tal asociación. Se ha encontrado en ADN viral en células arteriales, principalmente en endotelio y músculo liso. Estudios desarrollados en modelos animales y en cultivos celulares han postulado mecanismos moleculares que explican cómo el virus podría participar en el desarrollo de las lesiones ateroscleróticas. Esta revisión muestra los estudios más importantes publicados en relación con esta hipótesis.

ABSTRACT: The role of infections in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis has been studied. Cytomegalovirus is one of several infectious agents that have been implicated. Has been detected viral DNA in endothelial and arterial smooth muscle cells. Epidemiologic studies indicate a possible association between atherosclerosis and cytomegalovirus, while others did not find this. Others studies in animal models and cell culture suggested molecular mechanisms by which the virus might participate in the development of arteriosclerotic lesions. This review assesses the most important information published in relation to this hypothesis.
