Abstract
⺠Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) caused atherosclerosis in mice on a high cholesterol diet. ⺠P50 gene deletion diminished CIH-induced NF-κB activation and atherosclerosis. ⺠P50 gene deletion inhibited vascular inflammation, hypercholesterolemia and foam cell formation. ⺠NF-κB blockade abrogated CIH activation of 3 major atherogenic mechanisms and atherosclerosis. ⺠NF-κB serves as a central common pathway that leads to CIH-induced atherosclerosis.
