Journal ArticleDOI

Discrete subspecies of human low density lipoproteins are heterogeneous in their interaction with the cellular LDL receptor

TL;DR: The interaction of individual LDL subspecies with the LDL receptor on cultured human U-937 monocyte-like cells was compared by determining receptor binding affinities at 4 degrees C and scatchard analysis of specific binding curves demonstrated a single class of binding site for each subspecies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage Apoptosis Exerts Divergent Effects on Atherogenesis as a Function of Lesion Stage

TL;DR: It is suggested that macrophage apoptosis is atheroprotective in fatty streak lesions, but in contrast, defective clearance of apoptotic debris in advanced lesions favors arterial wall inflammation and enhanced recruitment of monocytes, leading to enhanced atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenovirus-Mediated Overexpression of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 Reduces Atherosclerotic Lesions in Apolipoprotein E–Deficient Mice

TL;DR: Investigation of adenovirus-mediated elevation in the circulating levels of human tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP-1) in atherosclerosis-susceptible apolipoprotein E-deficient mice revealed increases in collagen, elastin, and smooth muscle alpha-actin content in mice treated with rAd.
