Summary: In this review article, we present the available evidence regarding the impact of inflammation on platelet activation in atherosclerosis. Key messages: In the context of a dysfunctional vascular endothelium, structural alterations by means of endothelial glycocalyx thinning or functional modifications through impaired NO bioavailability and increased levels of von Willebrand factor result in platelet activation. Moreover, neutrophil-derived mediators, as well as neutrophil extracellular traps formation, have been implicated in the process of platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregation. The role of pro-inflammatory cytokines is also critical since their receptors are also situated in platelets while TNF-\u03b1 has also been found to induce inflammatory, metabolic, and bone marrow changes. Additionally, important progress has been made towards novel concepts of the interaction between inflammation and platelet activation, such as the toll-like receptors, myeloperoxidase, and platelet factor-4. The accumulating evidence is especially important in the era of the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic, characterized by an excessive inflammatory burden leading to thrombotic complications, partially mediated by platelet activation. Lastly, recent advances in anti-inflammatory therapies point towards an anti-thrombotic effect secondary to diminished platelet activation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms222011170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,17]],"date-time":"2021-10-17T23:05:47Z","timestamp":1634511947000},"page":"11170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Inflammatory Mediators of Platelet Activation: Focus on Atherosclerosis and COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9260-6306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Theofilis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marios","family":"Sagris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexios S.","family":"Antonopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8079-0599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evangelos","family":"Oikonomou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cSotiria\u201d Thoracic Diseases Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Costas","family":"Tsioufis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Tousoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cHippokration\u201d General Hospital of Athens, University of Athens Medical School, 11527 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/hcaa079","article-title":"Relationship of depressive symptoms with arterial stiffness and carotid atherosclerotic burden in the Corinthia study","volume":"113","author":"Oikonomou","year":"2020","journal-title":"QJM Mon.
