Annexin A8 deficiency delays atherosclerosis progression
•This study shows that AnxA8 is upregulated in aorta of atheroprone mice and in human atherosclerotic plaques. | |
•Germline AnxA8 deficiency reduces platelet and leukocyte recruitment to activated endothelium as well as atherosclerotic burden, plaque size, and macrophage accumulation in mice. | |
•AnxA8 regulates oxLDL-induced adhesion molecules expression in aortic endothelial cells. Our data strongly suggest that AnxA8 promotes disease progression through regulation of adhesion and influx of immune cells to the intima. | |
•Endothelial specific silencing of AnxA8 reduced atherosclerosis progression. | |
•Therapeutic interventions to reduce AnxA8 expression may delay atherosclerosis progression. |
