Anti-Inflammatory Actions of Soluble Ninjurin-1 Ameliorate Atherosclerosis.
Conclusions: Ninj1 is a novel MMP9 substrate in macrophages, and sNinj1 is a secreted athero-protective protein that regulates macrophage inflammation and monocyte recruitment in atherosclerosis. Moreover, sNinj1-mediated anti-inflammatory effects are conserved in human macrophages and likely contribute to human atherosclerosis.
