An A+ for macrophages in reducing atherosclerosis?
Epidemiological studies within developed populations have demonstrated that high levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with decreased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, although the precise mechanism for this protective effect is not completely understood. Apolipoprotein (apo) AI is the major protein constituent of HDL, and high-level hepatic production of human apoAI in transge...
متن کاملCD36 and macrophages in atherosclerosis.
CD36 is a multi-ligand scavenger receptor present on the surface of a number of cells such as platelets, monocytes/macrophages, endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Monocyte/macrophage CD36 has been shown to play a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions by its capacity to bind and endocytose oxidized low density lipoproteins (OxLDL), and it is implicated in the formation of...
متن کاملMacrophages, oxysterols and atherosclerosis.
Macrophages play central roles in immunity and homeostasis, and contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis through their accumulation of cholesterol and the production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines. Recent studies indicate that oxysterols influence diverse aspects of macrophage biology. Rather than simply being intermediates of cholesterol catabolism, oxysterols are also potent...
متن کاملChanges in transcriptome of macrophages in atherosclerosis
Macrophages display significant phenotypic heterogeneity. Two growth factors, macrophage colony-stimulating factor and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4, drive terminal differentiation of monocytes to M0 and M4 macrophages respectively. Compared to M0 macrophages, M4 cells have a unique transcriptome, with expression of surface markers such as S100A8, mannose receptor CD206 and matrix metallopro...
متن کاملInvestigation of Static and Dynamic Balance in School Basketball Players with a History of Ankle Injury
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the static and dynamic balance in basketball students with an ankle injury history. Methods: Subjects of this study were 36 elementary school basketball male students who participated in this study purposefully and voluntarily. Subjects were divided into two groups of 18 people with an ankle injury and the control group without ankle injury. To measur...
