Leading edge analysis. Leading edge analysis identified major biological states upregulated in human macrophages from recently symptomatic carotid atherosclerotic plaques. These include inflammation, particularly cytokine response and interferon signaling; lipid metabolism; cell proliferation and apoptosis; antigen presentation; as well as cellular energetics. Each column represents a significantly enriched pathway (P<0.05; false discovery rate, <0.25), whereas each row represents a leading edge gene. GO indicates gene ontology.
