Environmental stresses, genetic factors, diet and lifestyle can accentuate atheroma formation.
HUVEC cells co-treated with BaP and RvD1 had a decrease of COX-2 and cPGES expression.
Incubation with BaP and RvD1 resulted in repression of the PTGS2 and CYP1A1 gene.
Our data suggested that RvD1 might potentially aid in the repair of the injured endothelium.
