REDD2 Gene Is Upregulated by Modified LDL or Hypoxia and Mediates Human Macrophage Cell Death
13 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cholesterol accumulation in macrophages is known to alter macrophage biology. In this article we studied the impact of macrophage cholesterol loading on gene expression and identified a novel gene implicated in cell death. METHODS AND RESULTS: The regulated in development and DNA damage response 2 (REDD2) gene was strongly upregulated as THP-1 macrophages are converted to foam cells. These results were...
