Induction of the unfolded protein response after monocyte to macrophage differentiation augments cell survival in early atherosclerotic lesions
21 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress causes macrophage cell death within advanced atherosclerotic lesions, thereby contributing to necrotic core formation and increasing the risk of atherothrombotic disease. However’ unlike in advanced lesions’ the appearance of dead/apoptotic macrophages in early lesions is less prominent. Given that activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) is detected in early...
