General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function inflammatory cytokines induce nonproteolytic calpain-6 (CAPN6), which associates with the essential exon junction complex-loading factor CWC22 in the cytoplasm. This association disturbs the nuclear localization of CWC22, thereby suppressing the splicing of target genes, including those related to Rac1 signaling. CAPN6 deficiency in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice restores CWC22/EJC/Rac1 signaling, reduces pinocytotic deposition of native low density lipoprotein in macrophages, and attenuates macrophage recruitment into the lesions, generating an atheroprotective phenotype in the aorta. In macrophages, the induction of CAPN6 in the atheroma interior limits macrophage movements, resulting in a decline in cell clearance from the lesions. Myeloid CAPN6 contributes to atherogenesis in a murine model of bone marrow transplantation Mus musculus
