Aims The immune system is considered a key driver of atherosclerosis, and beyond proteins and microRNAs (miRs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in immune control. We previously described that lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is involved in cardiac innate immunity in a myocarditis model. Here, we investigated the impact of MALAT1 deficiency upon atherosclerosis development.Methods and results Heterozygous MALAT1-deficient ApoE(-/-) mice displayed massive immune system dysregulation and atherosclerosis within 2 months even when kept on normal diet.
