Review the pathogenic roles of monocyte-macrophages, chemoattractant factors, and secretory products in driving atherogenesis as an inflammatory disorder.
Synthesized literature detailing mechanisms of monocyte recruitment into the vascular intima and subsequent macrophage secretory activities.
Summarized experimental data on the monocyte chemoattractant factor SMC-CF and the mechanisms governing foam cell differentiation.
Circulating monocytes enter the arterial intima and differentiate into lipid-laden foam cells, acting as central cellular drivers of early and progressing atherosclerotic lesions.
Macrophage-derived secretory products and specific smooth muscle cell-derived chemoattractants like SMC-CF actively sustain local vascular inflammation.
