It is believed that macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) play a key role in the process of foam cell formation [17].

Methotrexate treatment increases the expression of cholesterol 27-hydroxylase expression, thereby promotes cholesterol export from macrophages and reduces their tendency to transform into foam cells.

It has been shown that high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and its most abundant protein constituent, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), can promote the efflux of cholesterol from foam cells of the artery wall and mediate the transport of cholesterol to the liver for catabolism (Fielding and Fielding 1995; Panagotopulos et al.

IL-8 may induce the firm adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells and mediate the intimal accumulation of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions [13, 14], while TNF-[alpha] can enhance macrophage foam cell formation by inhibition of intracellular lipid catabolism and, therefore, contribute to atherosclerotic development and progression [15].
