Overexpression of 15-Lipoxygenase in Vascular Endothelium Accelerates Early Atherosclerosis in LDL Receptor–Deficient Mice

Abstract

To study the possible role of the human lipid-oxidizing enzyme 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) in atherosclerosis, we overexpressed it specifically in the vascular wall of C57B6/SJL mice by using the murine preproendothelin-1 promoter. The mice overexpressing 15-LO were crossbred with low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor–deficient mice to investigate atherogenesis. High levels of 15-LO were expressed in the atherosclerotic lesion in the double-transgenic mice as assessed by immunohistochemistry.
