BAFF receptor deficiency reduces the development of atherosclerosis in mice--brief report.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the role of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) receptor in B-cell regulation of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Male LDL receptor-deficient mice (Ldlr(-/-)) were lethally irradiated and reconstituted with either wild type or BAFF receptor (BAFF-R)-deficient bone marrow. After 4 weeks of recovery, mice were put on a high-fat diet for 6 or 8 week...
متن کاملMacrophage deficiency of Akt2 reduces atherosclerosis in Ldlr null mice.
Macrophages play crucial roles in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase B, is vital for cell proliferation, migration, and survival. Macrophages express three Akt isoforms, Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3, but the roles of Akt1 and Akt2 in atherosclerosis in vivo remain unclear. To dissect the impact of macrophage Akt1 and Akt2 on early atherosclerosis, we genera...
متن کاملB cell depletion reduces the development of atherosclerosis in mice
B cell depletion significantly reduces the burden of several immune-mediated diseases. However, B cell activation has been until now associated with a protection against atherosclerosis, suggesting that B cell-depleting therapies would enhance cardiovascular risk. We unexpectedly show that mature B cell depletion using a CD20-specific monoclonal antibody induces a significant reduction of ather...
متن کاملCcr5 but not Ccr1 deficiency reduces development of diet-induced atherosclerosis in mice.
OBJECTIVE Chemokines and their receptors are crucially involved in the development of atherosclerotic lesions by directing monocyte and T cell recruitment. The CC-chemokine receptors 1 (CCR1) and 5 (CCR5) expressed on these cells bind chemokines implicated in atherosclerosis, namely CCL5/RANTES. Although general blockade of CCL5 receptors reduces atherosclerosis, specific roles of CCR1 and CCR5...
