Abstract excerpt
BACKGRUOUND: We determined the precise function of E2F transcription factor 5 (E2F5) on the development of diabetic atherosclerosis (DAS) and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Apolipoprotein E-knockout mice were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin for 5 days and fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks for establishing an in vivo DAS model. To establish a DAS vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) model, VSMCs...
