Favine/CCDC3 deficiency accelerated atherosclerosis and thrombus formation is associated with decreased MEF2C-KLF2 pathway


ABSTRACT: Currently, no mouse models manifest calcification and thrombus formation, which is frequently associated with human atherosclerosis. We demonstrated that lack of Favine/CCDC3 in apoE knockout mice accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied by large cholesterol crystals and calcification, and also promoted thrombus formation in the left ventricle and arteries. Circulating Favine was detectable in WT mouse lasma. RNA-sequencing analysis of aortae in DKO mice showed similar gene expression patterns of human atherosclerosis with unstable and vulnerable plaques. Importantly, human FAVINE mRNA expressions were lower in atheroma plaque than in adjacent intact aortic tissue and decreased with the progression of atherosclerosis. Pathway analysis of aortae in DKO mice suggested the decrease of the MEF2C-KLF2-mediated transcriptional pathway. Favine insufficiency and its attenuated downstream pathways may increase atherosclerosis progression with calcification and thrombus, which have not previously been fully modeled in experimental animals. Favine and its downstream pathways may have therapeutic potential for atherosclerosis.
