Transcription profiling of pig aortic endothelial cells to investigate the impact of gender, high fat/high cholesterol diet and regional hemodynamics on gene expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis preferentially develops in susceptible regions of the arterial system that are defined by the regional vascular hemodynamics. Previous work in adult castrate male pigs revealed the coexistence of pro- and anti-atherosclerotic profiles in endothelial cell gene expression in disturbed flow regions of arteries in the absence of risk factors for atherogenesis. This study investigates the impact of gender, high fat/high cholesterol diet and regional hemodynamics on arterial endothelial cell gene expression profiles in sexually mature intact pigs.
