(Submitter supplied) Thromboembolic events secondary to rupture or erosion of advanced atherosclerotic lesions are the leading cause of death in the world. The most common and effective means to reduce these major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, is aggressive lipid lowering via a combination of drugs and dietary modifications. However, little is known regarding the effects of reducing dietary lipids on the composition and stability of advanced atherosclerotic lesions, the mechanisms that regulate these processes, and what therapeutic approaches might augment the benefits of lipid lowering.

(Submitter supplied) Despite decades of research, our understanding of processes controlling the stability of late-stage atherosclerotic plaques remains poor. However, a prevailing hypothesis is that reducing inflammation may improve plaque stability. Indeed, the potent inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), has been shown to be a key driver of atherosclerosis development. Importantly, the CANTOS Trial recently demonstrated that administration of an anti-IL-1β antibody to high-risk post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients reduced the incidence of recurrent nonfatal MI, but did not reduce the incidence of cardiovascular death or stroke. more...

(Submitter supplied) Atherosclerotic plaque rupture with subsequent embolic events is a major cause of sudden death from myocardial infarction or stroke. Although smooth muscle cells (SMC) produce and respond to collagens in vitro, there is no direct evidence in vivo that SMC are a critical source of collagens impacting lesion development or fibrous cap formation. We sought to determine how conditional SMC specific knockout of collagen type XV (COL15A1) in SMC lineage tracing mice effects advanced lesion formation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background Rupture or erosion of advanced atherosclerotic lesions with a resultant myocardial infarction or stroke are the leading worldwide cause of death. However, we have a very limited understanding of the identity, origin, and function of many cells that make up late stage atherosclerotic lesions, as well as the mechanisms by which they control plaque stability. Methods and Results Using RNAseq and ChIPseq of advanced atherosclerotic lesions from mice, we provide evidence SMC-specific Klf4- versus Oct4-knockout ApoE-/- mice showed virtually opposite genomic signatures and putative SMC Klf4 or Oct4 target genes play an important role regulating SMC phenotypic changes. more...

(Submitter supplied) IL-1 plays an important role in atherosclerosis, and alters expression of a number of genes involved in atherosclerotic plaque development and progression. Smooth muscle cells play important roles in atherosclerotic plaque formation and stability, so this study was undertaken to determine the global effects of IL-1b on gene expression in smooth muscle cells in vitro.

(Submitter supplied) Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries and there is compelling evidence that the majority of these fatalities are secondary to rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques. However, the mechanisms that control plaque stability are poorly understood, although it is widely believed that plaques having a decreased ratio of cells positive for smooth muscle cell (SMC) markers such as ACTA2 relative to macrophage markers are more likely to rupture. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: HIF1a inhibitor PX-478 prevents hypercholesterolemia in ApoE-/- mice fed Western diet for 3 months. The goal of this study was to determine the mechanisms in the liver through which PX-478 regulates cholesterol. Methods: 4-week old ApoE-/- mice were fed a Western diet and injected intraperitoneally, bi-weekly with either PX-478 (40 mg/kg) or Saline for 3 months. The livers of 3 PX-478-treated mice and 4 Saline-treated mice were used for this RNA-seq study. more...
