LGALS3BP and atherosclerosis: To ascertain whether Lgals3bp is the key molecule that mediates liver‐vascular communication to promote MAFLD‐associated atherosclerosis and calcification, we created hepatocyte‐specific Lgals3bp‐knockout mice by injecting them with a liver‐specific knockout adeno‐associated virus (TBGp‐EGFP‐MIR155(MCS)‐SV40 PolyA) via the tail vein (Figure 12A).
