METTL4-Mediated Mitochondrial DNA N6-Methyldeoxyadenosine Promoting Macrophage Inflammation and Atherosclerosis

Circulation

However, the role of METTL4-mediated mitoepigenetic regulation in atherosclerosis is still unknown. We explored the mechanism of METTL4 involvement in atherosclerosis usingMettl4Mac-KO-Apoe-/-andMettl4MUT-Apoe-/-mice and cell models, as well as bone marrow transplantation.

Novel UV?B Phototherapy With a Light?Emitting Diode Device Prevents Atherosclerosis by Augmenting Regulatory T?Cell Responses in Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundUltraviolet B (UV‐B) irradiation is an effective treatment for human cutaneous disorders and was shown to reduce experimental atherosclerosis by attenuating immunoinflammatory responses. Our findings indicate that a novel 282 nm UV‐B phototherapy could be an attractive approach to treat atherosclerosis.
