Gamma protocadherins in vascular endothelial cells inhibit Klf2/4 to promote atherosclerosis
2024-01-17
Abstract excerpt
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide 1 . Laminar shear stress (LSS) from blood flow in straight regions of arteries protects against ASCVD by upregulating the Klf2/4 anti-inflammatory program in endothelial cells (ECs) 2–8 . Conversely, disturbed shear stress (DSS) at curves or branches predisposes these regions to plaque formation 9,10 . We previously repor...
