Targeting Filamin A Reduces Macrophage Activity and Atherosclerosis
24 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background: The actin-binding protein FLNA (filamin A) regulates signal transduction important for cell locomotion, but the role of macrophage-specific FLNA during atherogenesis has not been explored. Methods: We analyzed FLNA expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques by immunofluorescence. We also produced mice with Flna -deficient macrophages by breeding conditional Flna -knockout mice ( Flna o/fl )...
