CD24 is expressed in HNSCC and is correlated with a dampened immune response by Deborah C. Schubert, Marvin Hürter, Dimo Dietrich, Sebastian Strieth, Peter Brossart, Peter Altevogt, Christine Sanders, Glen Kristiansen

“…Purpose:: Recently, CD24 on tumor cells was identified as a phagocytic inhibitor contributing to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via binding to Siglec-10 on macrophages. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are highly immunogenic tumors, but little is known about the expression of CD24 in HNSCC. …”

The Role of Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins in Atherosclerosis: The Myths and the Facts by Giuseppe Maiolino, Giacomo Rossitto, Paola Caielli, Valeria Bisogni, Gian Paolo Rossi, Lorenzo A. Calò

“…Experimental data carried out in cellular lines and animal models of atherosclerosis support the proatherogenic role of oxidized LDLs: (a) through chemotactic and proliferating actions on monocytes/macrophages, inciting their transformation into foam cells; (b) through stimulation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) recruitment and proliferation in the tunica intima; (c) through eliciting endothelial cells, SMCs, and macrophages apoptosis with ensuing necrotic core development. …”
