TRAF-1, -2, -3, -5, and -6 Are Induced in Atherosclerotic Plaques and Differentially Mediate Proinflammatory Functions of CD40L in Endothelial Cells
2 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Several lines of evidence implicate CD40 ligand (CD40L, CD154) as a mediator and marker of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the involvement of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) in CD40 signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) and their expression in atheromata and cells involved in atherogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: CD40L enhanced the basal expression of TRAF-1, -2, -3, and...
