Brain ischemia causes systemic Notch1 activity in endothelial cells to drive atherosclerosis
Whether stroke induces sustained pro-inflammatory and proatherogenic endothelial alterations in systemic vessels remains poorly understood. Liu et al. find that brain ischemia induces the persistent activation of endothelial Notch1 signaling in the periphery. A sustained increase of circulating Notch1 ligands leads to a senescent, pro-inflammatory endothelium that drives atheroprogression following stroke, which can be therapeutically targeted by blocking antibodies.
