Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4), a secreted protein, is an important regulator to irreversibly inhibit lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. Macrophage LPL contributes to foam cell formation via a so-called"molecular bridge" between lipoproteins and receptors on cell surface. It has been reported that macrophage ANGPTL4 suppresses LPL activity, foam cell formation and inflammatory gene expression to reduce atherosclerosis development. Recently, some studies demonstrated that microRNA-134 is upregulated in atherosclerotic macrophages. Here we demonst...
