Environmental factors such as air pollutants, plastic micro-particles, ionizing radiation, and traffic noise promote the onset and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseasethrough mechanisms including inducing inflammatory responses, promoting oxidative stress, and accelerating lipid deposition. Notably, the modification of apolipoprotein by reactive oxygen species accelerates this process. On one hand, ROS can oxidize key amino acid residues in Apo, altering its structure and thereby impairing its normal physiological function. On the other hand, ROS can induce lipid peroxidation of Apo, rendering the oxidized Apo more susceptible to recognition and uptake by macrophages. This accelerates foam cell formation and drives the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. This review summarizes recent research advances on the role of ROS-induced modification of Apo by environmental factors in atherosclerotic CVD.收起
