Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of CD4(+)CD25(+)forkhead box P 3 (Foxp3)(+) T-regulatory cells (Tregs) in protecting the activation and function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by proinflammatory stimulus and the mechanisms of it. METHODS AND RESULTS: ECs play a major role in atherogenic initiation, changing their quiescence into activated phenotypes to support every phase of the...
