Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 on Bone Marrow–Derived Cells Promotes Macrophage Accumulation During Atherogenesis
16 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: We described a critical role for the discoidin domain receptor (DDR)1 collagen receptor tyrosine kinase during atherosclerotic plaque development. Systemic deletion of Ddr1 in Ldlr(-/-) mice accelerated matrix accumulation and reduced plaque size and macrophage content. However, whether these effects reflected an independent role for macrophage DDR1 during atherogenesis remained unresolved. METHODS: In...
