TRIM47 Promotes Atherosclerosis by Activating NF-κB Signaling via IκBα Ubiquitination.

Atherosclerosis, a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by chronic inflammation in arterial walls. The role of NF-κB signaling in this process is well-established, but the upstream regulators remain incompletely understood. This study explored the role of TRIM47, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, in promoting atherosclerosis through NF-κB activation. In vitro studies used human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). TRIM47 ex...
