Gene expression of scavenger receptors, ABC transporters, and CCL2 in M-MØ and GM-MØ after cholesterol influx and efflux. M-MØ and GM-MØ were analyzed for expression of (A) CD36 and SRA1, and (B) ABCA1, ABCG1, and CCL2 before (Macrophages) and after (Foam cells) incubation with acetyl-LDL, and after cholesterol efflux to an unfractionated pool of human plasma (2.5%) (Regressing foam cells), as described in Supplementary Fig. S1. Data from 7 individual blood donors are presented as means of triplicate incubations for the mRNA values at each data point. *p < 0.05 by Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for paired samples.
