While in this model, defects in the elastic laminae have previously been described beneath advanced xanthomatous lesions, this study demonstrates that disruption of the IEL may be a primary factor in the localization and pathogenesis of intimal lesions in the apoE\u2013\/\u2013 mouse. IEL defects were found beneath early lesions in animals as young as 8 weeks of age. Small defects without associated intimal alteration were also observed. The elastic tissue defects beneath early intimal lesions were usually transversely orientated with abrupt \u2018break\u2019 edges. Regions consistent with direct enzymatic digestion of the IEL were relatively rare and only observed beneath advanced plaques, particularly in the brachiocephalic artery. The presence of IEL defects around branch sites of old C57BL\/6J control mice along with their matching localization and morphology in apoE\u2013\/\u2013 appears consistent with biomechanical fatigue rather than direct enzymatic degradation. In conclusion, disruption of the IEL appears to be a prominent early, if not initial, feature of the apoE\u2013\/\u2013 model of atherosclerosis and may act as the nidus upon which intimal lesions develop.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000085553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,29]],"date-time":"2005-04-29T13:02:27Z","timestamp":1114779747000},"page":"237-246","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Elastic Lamina Defects Are an Early Feature of Aortic Lesions in the Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mouse"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Gregory T.","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fan","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sally P.A.","family":"McCormick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory J.","family":"Dusting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00041433-200006000-00004"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0092-8674%2892%2990362-G"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126%2Fscience.1411543"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F713688917"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0021-9150%2800%2900388-9"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0021-9150%2800%2900515-3"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172%2FJCI117460"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161%2Fhq0801.093669"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161%2F01.ATV.0000091249.34404.B7"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00313029500169432"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00313029500169253"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00019501-199003000-00009"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1699-0463.1996.tb00733.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00313028909061060"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1749-6632.1994.tb17348.x"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126%2Fscience.272.5262.685"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161%2Fhh1401.093458"}],"container-title":["Journal of Vascular Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/85553","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/85553","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:52:58Z","timestamp":1745466778000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000085553"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000085553","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-1172","1423-0135"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-1172","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0135","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005]]}}}
