AGT and atherosclerosis: While the atherosclerosis-promoting activity of angiotensin II-stimulated aortic immune cell recruitment is firmly established (Abd Alla et al., 2004, 2010; Cassis et al., 2007; Fukuda et al., 2008), our current microarray study revealed that the aortic recruitment of pro-inflammatory cells was apparently insensitive to vitamin E treatment because vitamin E did not prevent the atherosclerosis-related increase of immune-cell specific gene expression in the aorta.
