Macrophagic Sclerostin Loop2‐ApoER2 Interaction Required by Sclerostin for Cardiovascular Protective Action

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Sclerostin loop2‐ApoER2 interaction in macrophages is required by sclerostin to suppress NF‐κB nuclear translocation and phosphorylation, to promote macrophage conversion into anti‐inflammatory subtypes in atherosclerotic aortas, as well as to prevent atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm development in ApoE−/− mice. Abstract Therapeutic antibody against
