The Signaling Pathway of Oxysterol-Induced Apoptosis in Macrophages.
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL) mediate many of the pathological events associated with atherosclerosis. Oxysterols, the major cytotoxic component of OxLDL, induce apoptosis in macrophages by a calcium flux mediated activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 resulting in the release of arach...
