In line with this notion, analyses of publically available high-throughput datasets28 revealed that in a mouse model of atherosclerosis regression, expression of MafB, as well as Abca1, in plaque macrophages was substantially up-regulated during atherosclerosis regression (Supplementary Fig. S5), suggesting potential anti-atherogenic roles of MafB. The gene discussed is MAFB; the disease is atherosclerosis.
