The Effects of Diet on Occlusive Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis and Myocardial Infarction in Scavenger Receptor Class B, Type 1/Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Double Knockout Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Deficiency of the high-density lipoprotein receptor, scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI), in apolipoprotein E knockout or hypomorphic mice, respectively, results in spontaneous or diet-inducible occlusive coronary artery (CA) atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and early death. Here, we examine effects of SR-BI deficiency on cardiovascular phenotypes in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) knockout mice fed different atherogenic diets. APPROACH AND RESULTS: SR-BI/LDLR double knockout and control LDLR knockout mice were fed atherogenic diets containing different amounts of fat, cholesterol, and sodium cholate. Double knockout mice fed atherogenic diets high in cholesterol exhibited significantly reduced survival compared with LDLR knockout mice fed the same diets. In addition to increased diet-accelerated aortic sinus atherosclerosis, we observed significant diet-induced CA atherosclerosis in double knockout mice and diet-dependent accumulation of platelets in CA atherosclerotic plaques. This was accompanied by substantial myocardial fibrosis in double knockout mice fed high cholesterol diets. Atherogenic diet fed double knockout mice also exhibited higher circulating cytokine levels, monocytosis with increased proportions of Ly6C(hi) and Ly6C(int) monocytes, and higher adhesion molecule expression in CA endothelial cells compared with control LDLR knockout mice. CONCLUSIONS: Diet-accelerated atherosclerosis and occlusive, platelet-rich CA disease in SR-BI/LDLR double knockout mice is affected by amounts of cholesterol and cholate in atherogenic diets and is accompanied by increased expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in CAs and increased Ly6C(hi) and Ly6C(int) monocytes in circulation. The increased vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in CA endothelial cells in SR-BI-deficient mice likely explains their increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis in CAs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
