Imaging Reveals the Connection Between Spontaneous Coronary Plaque Ruptures, Atherothrombosis, and Myocardial Infarctions in HypoE/SRBI−/− Mice

Abstract: The hyperlipidemic mouse model HypoE/SRBI −/− has been shown to develop occlusive coronary atherosclerosis followed by myocardial infarctions and premature deaths in response to high-fat, highcholesterol diet (HFC). However, the causal connection between myocardial infarctions and atherosclerotic plaque rupture events in the coronary arteries has not been investigated so far. The objective of this study was to assess whether diet-induced coronary plaque ruptures trigger atherothrombotic occlusions, resulting i… Show more

“…Mice that were maintained on normal chow, regardless of treatment with STZ or control citrate buffer, exhibited no obvious clinical signs (other than dramatically increased urination in the STZ treated mice) and survived to the end of the study (14 weeks after initiation of STZ or control citrate buffer treatment; Figure 1C ) at which point, they were euthanized for further analysis. SR-B1-KO/hypoE mice are known to develop HFC diet induced occlusive coronary artery atherosclerosis and fatal myocardial infarction ( Zhang et al, 2005 ; Nakagawa-Toyama et al, 2012 ; Pei et al, 2013 ; Hermann et al, 2016 ; Luk et al, 2016 ). Consistent with this, SR-B1-KO/hypoE mice that had been treated with control citrate buffer and switched to the HFC diet exhibited reduced survival, with a median survival of 11.3 weeks after the start of treatment (8.3 weeks after the start of HFC diet feeding).…”

“…SR-B1-KO/hypoE mice fed the HFC diet develop atherosclerosis in coronary arteries in addition to the aortic sinus ( Zhang et al, 2005 ; Nakagawa-Toyama et al, 2012 ; Pei et al, 2013 ; Hermann et al, 2016 ; Luk et al, 2016 ). We therefore examined the effects of STZ- vs control-treatment on atherosclerosis in coronary arteries in SR-B1-KO/hypoE that had been maintained on chow diet until 14 weeks after the induction of STZ or control- treatment, and in STZ- or control-treated SR-B1-KO/hypoE mice that had been fed the HFC diet beginning 3 weeks after the start of STZ- or control-treatment for a total of 4 weeks of HFC diet feeding ( Figures 4A – G ).…”
