Fig 7. A working model shows the roles of Pdcd4 in the formation of SGs induced by ox-LDL or HFD.

Fig 7

Pdcd4 serves as a key component of ox-LDL-induced SGs through its RNA-binding activity. On the other hand, Pdcd4 can enhance eIF2α phosphorylation by attenuating AKT activation, thereby promoting the formation of SGs.
