T-cell accumulation in atherosclerotic plaques contributes to plaque destabilization. We found that several chemokine receptors are differentially expressed on peripheral blood compared to plaque-resident T cells and corresponding ligands are upregulated in plaques. These data indicate that T-cell migration into human atherosclerotic plaques may predominantly occur via CCR5-CCL3 and CX3CR1-CX3CL1 interactions.
T 细胞在动脉粥样硬化斑块中的聚集导致斑块不稳定。我们发现,与斑块内驻留的 T 细胞相比,几种趋化因子受体在外周血中表达不同,相应的配体在斑块中上调。这些数据表明,T 细胞向人动脉粥样硬化斑块的迁移可能主要通过 CCR5-CCL3 和 CX3CR1-CX3CL1 相互作用发生。
