- Testosterone deficiency in men is associated with increased atherosclerosis burden and increased cardiovascular risk. In male mice, testosterone deficiency induced by castration increases atherosclerosis as well as mature B cell numbers in spleen. As B cells are potentially pro-atherogenic, we hypothesized that there may be a link between these effects. To address whether mature B cell deficiency alter the atherogenic response to castration, we studied B cell-deficient mu MT and genotype control male mice on an atherosclerosis-prone Apoe(-/-) background that were castrated or sham-operated pre-pubertally and fed a high-fat diet between 8 and 16 weeks of age to accelerate atherosclerosis development. Genotype did not affect the effects of castration on body weight or weights of fat depots and there were no differences in serum cholesterol levels across the four groups. Atherosclerosis assessed by quantification of lesion area in serial sections of the aortic root was significantly increased by castration and by the mu MT mutation, with no significant interaction between genotype and surgery. In conclusion, castration evokes a similar atherogenic response in B cell-deficient mu MT and control mice. These data suggest that atherogenesis following castration is unrelated to the effects of androgens on mature B cell numbers.
