Inhibition of the Ubiquitin-Activating Enzyme UBA1 Suppresses Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Knockout Mice
Figure 4
Inhibition of UBA1 decreased proinflammatory cytokine levels in diet-induced atherosclerosis in Apoe-/- mice. (a) Flow cytometry analysis of circulating monocytes, neutrophils, and T cells. (b) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of aortic expression of cytokines associated with monocyte recruitment (Mcp-1, Vcam-1, and Icam-1). (c) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of aortic expression of macrophage-derived proinflammatory (Il-1β, Il-6, and Tnfα) and anti-inflammatory (Il-4 and Il-10) cytokines. per group; : <0.05; ns: not significant.
