Elastin fragmentation in atherosclerotic mice leads to intraplaque neovascularization, plaque rupture, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden death
AIMS: There is a need for animal models of plaque rupture. We previously reported that elastin fragmentation, due to a mutation (C1039G(+/−)) in the fibrillin-1 (Fbn1) gene, promotes atherogenesis and a highly unstable plaque phenotype in apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE(−/−)) mice on a Western-type...
