Cholesterol loading suppresses the atheroinflammatory gene polarization of human macrophages induced by colony stimulating factors
Abstract In atherosclerotic lesions, blood-derived monocytes differentiate into distinct macrophage subpopulations, and further into cholesterol-filled foam cells under a complex milieu of cytokines, which also contains macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and granulocyte–macrophage-colony s...
