Cigarette smoking upregulates vascular expression of the novel atherosclerosis risk factor ADAMTS-7

Carla Abrahamian, M. Amin Sharifi, Tan An Dang…·Thorsten Kessler

This study shows cigarette smoke increases vascular ADAMTS7 expression through CCL17-CCR4 signaling, linking smoking to atherosclerosis via a novel gene-environment interaction.
