Long-term glucocorticoid treatment increases CD204 expression by activating the MAPK pathway and enhances modified LDL uptake in murine macrophages
Atherosclerotic plaques develop from the accumulation of macrophage-derived foam cells via the uptake of modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL). CD36 and CD204 are the principal scavenger receptors responsible for the uptake of modified LDL. Although glucocorticoids are suspected to exacerbate ather...
