Abstract
Results-Gene expression studies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed increased mRNA levels of HDAC9 but not of neighboring genes (TWIST1/FERD3L) in risk allele carriers of rs2107595. Compared with HDAC9ApoE mice, HDAC9ApoE mice exhibited markedly reduced lesion sizes throughout atherosclerotic aortas and significantly less advanced lesions. The proportion of Mac3-positive macrophages
