Macrophage-Specific Expression of Human Lipoprotein Lipase Accelerates Atherosclerosis in Transgenic Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice but Not in C57BL/6 Mice
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice with macrophage-specific expression of human (hu) lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were generated to determine the contribution of macrophage LPL to atherogenesis. Macrophage specificity was accomplished with the scavenger receptor A promoter. Complete characterization demonstrated that macrophages from these mice expressed huLPL mRNA and secreted enzymatically active huLPL protein. Expression of huLPL...
