LMO7 regulates smooth muscle cell cholesterol esterification to influence plaque stability
2022-02-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Smooth muscle cells (SMC) can undergo distinct fate transitions that influence atherosclerotic plaque phenotype: SMC make up the protective fibrous cap that prevents plaque rupture, but can also transdifferentiate to a destabilizing pro-inflammatory phenotype. We found that LMO7, a scaffolding protein that modulates SMC phenotype, is induced in atherosclerosis. SMC LMO7 deletion produce...
