who observed that LDL(-) promotes
monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1) and interleukin 8 (IL8) release in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) [7].
Previous studies of PlGF showed that it "stimulates vascular smooth muscle cell growth, recruits macrophages into atherosclerotic lesions, upregulates production of tumor necrosis factor--ct and
monocyte chemotactic protein 1 by macrophages, and stimulates pathologic angiogenesis," they noted.
