Decreased atherosclerosis in CX3CR1–/– mice reveals a role for fractalkine in atherogenesis
The hallmark of early atherosclerosis is the accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages in the subendothelial space. Circulating monocytes are the precursors of these "foam cells,"...
A leukocyte homologue of the IL-8 receptor CXCR-2 mediates the accumulation of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions of LDL receptor-deficient mice.
Chronic macrophage-mediated inflammation is central to atherosclerosis. A role of the monocyte chemotactic and activating C-C chemokine JE/monocyte chemotactic protein-1 has bee...
Lack of Interleukin-1β Decreases the Severity of Atherosclerosis in ApoE-Deficient Mice
Objective— Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease and many cytokines participate in the development of atherosclerosis. We focused on the role of int...
Decreased atherosclerosis in mice deficient in both macrophage colony-stimulating factor (op) and apolipoprotein E.
To develop a murine model system to test the role of monocyte-derived macrophage in atherosclerosis, the osteopetrotic (op) mutation in the macrophage colony-stimulating factor ...
Increase of CCR1 and CCR5 expression and enhanced functional response to MIP-1 alpha during differentiation of human monocytes to macrophages.
Chemokines and their receptors regulate migration of leukocytes under normal and inflammatory conditions. In this study, we analyzed the CC chemokine receptor (CCR) expression o...
