Molecular Signaling Involved in Oxysterol-Induced β1-Integrin Over-Expression in Human Macrophages

The hypercholesterolemia-atherosclerosis association is now established; hypercholesterolemia may induce vascular-cell activation, subsequently increasing expression of adhesion molecules, cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and other key inflammatory molecules. Among inflammatory molecules expre...
