Disrupting LXRα phosphorylation promotes FoxM1 expression and modulates atherosclerosis by inducing macrophage proliferation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Significance To date, the importance of liver X receptors (LXRs) in atherosclerosis development has been gleaned from their pharmacological or genetic manipulation. Here, we show that altering LXRα phosphorylation can shape proatherogenic responses to fat-rich diets, uncovering previously unrecognized mechanisms. Disrupting LXRα phosphorylation in myeloid cells triggers global changes in gene expression in macrophages, including the up-regulation of proliferation-promoting factors, consistent with increased proliferation of lesion-resident cells. This leads to an enhanced atherosclerotic plaque burden and plaques with altered phenotypic features. Notably, novel LXRα-regulated targets revealed by impaired LXRα phosphorylation are markedly distinct from those promoted by LXR ligand activation. Overall, this work reveals LXRα phosphorylation as an important determinant of atherosclerosis development. This could be exploited for the design of novel antiatherosclerotic strategies.

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.
