Macrophages are activated by IFN-gamma, a proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokine that mediates its downstream effects primarily through STAT1. IFN-gamma signaling induces phosphorylation of two STAT1 residues: Tyr(701) (Y701), which facilitates dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding; and Ser(727) (S727), which enables maximal STAT1 transcription activity. Immunosuppressive molecules such as adenosine in the cellular microenvironment can reduce macrophage inflammatory and ather ...[more]
