Hypercholesterolaemia promotes epigenetic memory in hematopoietic stem cells that persists after lipid lowering and causes systemic immunometabolic dysfunction mediated by macrophage metabolic reprogramming
2025-09-18
Abstract excerpt
In patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) lowering LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, these patients remain at continued risk of adverse cardiovascular events despite achieving optimal LDL-C lowering. We hypothesised that this ‘residual risk’ is mediated by epigenetic programming of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) which persists after cholester...
