KMT2B increases inflammation and artery disease by controlling cell cleanup in blood vessel lining cells

Updated

Abstract

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is central to inflammation in atherosclerosis.

  • Atherosclerosis involves ongoing inflammation and changes in blood vessel structure.
  • KMT2B, a type of enzyme, may influence inflammation and the process of cellular cleanup in blood vessel cells.
  • Ox-LDL is associated with promoting inflammatory responses and modifying gene activity.
