Journal ArticleDOI

Antagonism of miR-33 in mice promotes reverse cholesterol transport and regression of atherosclerosis

TL;DR: It is established that raising HDL levels by anti-miR33 oligonucleotide treatment promotes reverse cholesterol transport and atherosclerosis regression and suggest that it may be a promising strategy to treat atherosclerotic vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of miR-33a/b in non-human primates raises plasma HDL and lowers VLDL triglycerides

TL;DR: It is shown in African green monkeys that systemic delivery of an anti-miRNA oligonucleotide that targets both miR-33a and miR/b increased hepatic expression of ABCA1 and induced a sustained increase in plasma HDL levels over 12 weeks, establishing a promising therapeutic strategy to raise plasma HDL and lower VLDL triglyceride levels for the treatment of dyslipidaemias that increase cardiovascular disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and functional interactions among monocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells and their relevance for cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: An overview of these complex interactions between selectins and their ligands, and the integrins binding to Ig‐like cell adhesion molecules as well as to GP, present in the extracellular matrix or on activated endothelium are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuroimmune guidance cue netrin-1 promotes atherosclerosis by inhibiting the emigration of macrophages from plaques

TL;DR: Netrin-1, a neuroimmune guidance cue, was secreted by macrophages in human and mouse atheroma, where it inactivated the migration of macrophage toward chemokines linked to their egress from plaques, establishing a causative role for negative regulators of leukocyte migration in chronic inflammation.
