Human Paraoxonase Gene Cluster Transgenic Overexpression Represses Atherogenesis and Promotes Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability in ApoE-Null Mice
10 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The paraoxonase (PON) gene cluster consists of the PON1, PON2, and PON3 genes, each of which can individually inhibit atherogenesis. To analyze the functions of the PON gene cluster (PC) in atherogenesis and plaque stability, human PC transgenic (Tg) mice were generated using bacterial artificial chromosome. The high-density lipoprotein from Tg mice exhibited increased paraoxonase activity. When crossed to the...
