Absence of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Reduces Atherosclerosis in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor–Deficient Mice

Role of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in atherosclerosis: studies of osteopetrotic mice.

Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) plays a role in atherogenesis. To examine this hypothesis, we have studied...

Heterozygous osteopetrotic (op) mutation reduces atherosclerosis in LDL receptor- deficient mice.

Previous studies of osteopetrotic (op) mice lacking macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) have revealed an inhibition of atherosclerosis development in the apolipoprotein...

Distinct patterns of expression of fibroblast growth factors and their receptors in human atheroma and nonatherosclerotic arteries. Association of acidic FGF with plaque microvessels and macrophages.

Because fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) modulate important functions of endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC), we studied FGF expression in human vascular cells ...
