Inflammation is critical in the pathobiology of atherosclerosis. An essential player in the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis are macrophages that scavenge oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL) deposited in the subendothelium of systemic arteries that secrete a myriad of pro-inflammatory mediators. Here, we identified that a subunit of the Skp-Cullin-F-box ubiquitin E3 ligase apparatus, termed FBXO3, modulates the inflammatory response in atherosclerosis. Specifically, indi ...[more]
