Absence of Nceh1 augments 25-hydroxycholesterol-induced ER stress and apoptosis in macrophages[S]

An excess of cholesterol and/or oxysterols induces apoptosis in macrophages, contributing to the development of advanced atherosclerotic lesions. In foam cells, these sterols are stored in esterified forms, which are hydrolyzed by two enzymes: neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase 1 (Nceh1) and hormon...
