The Dynamics of Oxidized LDL during Atherogenesis
Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is a useful marker for cardiovascular disease. The uptake of OxLDL by scavenger receptors leads to the accumulation of cholesterol within the foam cells of atherosclerotic lesions. OxLDL has many stimulatory effects on vascular cells, and the presence of OxLDL in circulating blood has been established. According to th...
متن کاملMonocyte/macrophage suppression in CD11b diphtheria toxin receptor transgenic mice differentially affects atherogenesis and established plaques.
Although monocytes/macrophages are considered important in atherogenesis, their role in established plaques is unclear. For example, macrophage content is associated with plaque instability, but their loss through cell death is observed at sites of plaque rupture. To examine the role of monocytes/macrophages in atherosclerosis, we developed CD11b-diphtheria toxin (DT) receptor (DTR) transgenic ...
متن کاملMonocyte and macrophage reactions.
For a number of years we have been working with monocytes and macrophages, and I would like to direct my remarks to a number of questions concerning the properties of the monocyte and the macrophage. I think it is quite evident that the mononuclear phagocyte has a major role in dealing with particles. I would like to start out by raising two questions: whether the particles are free particles o...
متن کاملMacrophage ABCA1 and SR-BI in Atherogenesis
Zhao et al report that two fatshifting factors work synergistically to keep macrophages healthy and atherosclerosis at bay. Despite their voracious appetite, macrophages are unable to fully digest the lipids they ingest. Instead, they rely on factors, such as ABCA1, to export excess cholesterol out of the cell. Lipid accumulation inside macrophages can result in their transformation into foam c...
