The Antiviral Cytomegalovirus Inducible Gene 5/Viperin Is Expressed in Atherosclerosis and Regulated by Proinflammatory Agents
13 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory processes play an important role in atherosclerosis, and increasing evidence implies that microbial pathogens and proinflammatory cytokines are involved in the development and activation of atherosclerotic lesions. To find new inflammatory genes, we explored the vascular transcriptional response to an activator of innate immunity bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). METHODS AND RESULTS:...
