摘要：

Hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis were induced in New Zealand White rabbits by cholesterol feeding. Apolipoprotein E mRNA levels in livers were found to be slightly increased, as determined by Northern blots. Apolipoprotein E gene expression was dramatically induced in rabbit atherosclerotic aortas with respect to healthy aortas. However, apolipoprotein E mRNA levels in atherosclerotic aortas were low as compared with the hepatic mRNA levels of the same animals. Interestingly, we also found a significant increase in apolipoprotein E expression in human atheromata with respect to healthy aorta from the same individual. This is the first report on apo E gene induction in human atherosclerotic lesions. © 1990.
