Genetic Deletion of Chemokine Receptor Ccr6 Decreases Atherogenesis inApoE-Deficient Mice
17 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The chemokine receptor Ccr6 is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed on various types of leukocytes identified in mouse atherosclerotic lesions. Recent evidence suggests that both CCR6 and its ligand CCL20 are also present in human atheroma; however, their functional roles in atherogenesis remain undefined. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to delineate the role of Ccr6 in atherogenesis in the...
