Cav1 regulates the expression of oxLDL scavenger receptor CD36. (A) Real-time PCR plot showing decreased CD36 mRNA expression in Cav-1 KO MAECs. (B) Representative 3D rendered confocal images showing CD36 expression in WT, CD36 KO and Cav-1 KO MAECs and (C) average integrated 3D fluorescence intensity of CD36 (n = 4, 5–8 cells per condition/experiment). Scale bars are 10 µm. *P < 0.05 by ANOVA.
