This manuscript is a companion paper to Ulleryd M.U. et al., “Stimulation of alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) inhibits atherosclerosis via immunomodulatory effects on myeloid cells” Atherosclerosis, 2019 [1]. Data shown here include RNA sequencing data from whole aorta of ApoE-/- mice fed high fat diet and treated with the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonist AZ6983 for 8 weeks using subcutaneously implanted osmotic minipumps. Here we present the top gene networks affected by treatment with AZ6983, as well as the up- and down-regulated genes in aorta after treatment. Further, a URL link to the RNA sequencing datasets submitted to GEO is included.
