Silence of NLRP3 Suppresses Atherosclerosis and Stabilizes Plaques in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice
Figure 4
P4Hα1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 mRNA levels in aortas of ApoE-deficient mice were determined with real-time PCR. The mRNA expression of P4Hα1 was markedly higher in the NRLP3i group than in the control group, and the mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly lower in the treatment group than the control group. versus control. Values are mean ± SD.
