Inhibition of Hedgehog signaling ameliorates foam cell formation by promoting autophagy in early atherosclerosis

Abstract Macrophages are the origin of most foam cells in the early stage of atherosclerotic plaques. However, the mechanism involved in the formation of macrophage-derived foam cell formation remains unclear. Here, we revealed that the hedgehog (Hh) signaling is critical in autophagy-lysosome pathw...
