2009, Cytokine and Growth Factor ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Foam cell apoptosis is the primary cause of cell death within an advanced atherosclerotic plaque [1,2] and IFN-γ can influence this event by regulating the expression of genes involved in apoptosis. IFN-γ has been shown to induce the expression of the pro-apoptotic genes, TNF-α receptor 1 (TNFR1), and caspase 8 in THP-1 macrophages [82] and to sensitize monocytes to Fas-mediated apoptosis by inducing the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) [83]. IFN-γ can also prime vascular SMCs for Fas-mediated apoptosis by trafficking Fas to the cell surface in a PI3K-dependent mechanism [84].
