Adults with diabetes are much more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than those without diabetes. Genetically engineered mouse models have started to provide important insight into the mechanisms whereby diabetes promotes atherosclerosis. Such models have demonstrated that diabetes promotes formation of atherosclerotic lesions, progression of lesions into advanced hemorrhaged lesions, and that it prevents lesion regression. The pro-atherosclerotic effects of diabetes are driven in part by the altered function of myeloid cells. The protein S100A9 and the receptor for advanced glycation end-products are important mediators of the effect of diabetes on myelopoiesis. Furthermore, myeloid cell expression of the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1), which converts long-chain fatty acids into their acyl-CoA derivatives, has emerged as causal to diabetes-induced lesion initiation. The protective effects of S100A9-deficiency and myeloid ACSL1-deficiency in diabetic mice, but not in non-diabetic mice, indicate that myeloid cells are activated by diabetes through mechanisms that play minor roles in the absence of diabetes. The roles reactive oxygen species and insulin resistance in diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis are also discussed, primarily in relation to endothelial cells. Translational studies addressing whether the mechanisms identified in mouse models are equally important in humans with diabetes will be paramount.
