Activated human mast cells induce LOX-1-specific scavenger receptor expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

Activated mast cells in atherosclerotic lesions degranulate and release bioactive compounds capable of regulating atherogenesis. Here we examined the ability of activated human primary mast cells to regulate the expression of the major scavenger receptors in cultured human primary monocyte-derived m...
