Intermedin inhibits macrophage foam-cell formation via tristetraprolin-mediated decay of CD36 mRNA
Cardiovascular ResearchPeer ReviewedXiaoyan Dai +92013Journals
CD36-mediated uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays a pivotal role in macrophage foam-cell formation and atherogenesis. Previously we reported on intermedin (IMD), a novel member of the calcitonin gene-related peptide family, in atherosclerotic plaque reducing atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice. Here, we studied the role of IMD in CD36-mediated macrophage foam-cell formation.
