Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We first showed that absence of p53 accelerates atherosclerosis development in apoE-deficient mice. In this study, we investigated how macrophage-specific loss of p53 function might modulate atherosclerosis development in LDL receptor-deficient mice, a model for familial hypercholesterolemia. METHODS AND RESULTS: We transferred bone marrow cells isolated from p53+/+ and p53-/- mice to lethally...
