nSMase2 (Type 2-Neutral Sphingomyelinase) Deficiency or Inhibition by GW4869 Reduces Inflammation and Atherosclerosis in Apoe
Atherosclerosis is a chronic multifactorial and inflammatory disease of large and medium arteries and the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate whether and how the nSMase2 (type 2-neutral sphingomyelinase), a key enzyme of sphingolipid metabolism, may contribute to the development of atherosclerotic lesions.. The role of nSMase2 in atherosclerosis was investigated in. The genetic deficiency or inhibition of nSMase2 strongly decreases the development of atherosclerotic lesions in Topics: Aniline Compounds; Animals; Anti-Inflammatory Agents; Aorta; Aortic Diseases; Atherosclerosis; Benzylidene Compounds; Disease Models, Animal; Endothelial Cells; Enzyme Inhibitors; Inflammation; Inflammation Mediators; Macrophages, Peritoneal; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mice, Knockout, ApoE; NF-E2-Related Factor 2; Plaque, Atherosclerotic; RAW 264.7 Cells; Signal Transduction; Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase | 2018 |
