This cellular study examined the effects of RBG on macrophage function, focusing on foam cell formation, macrophage polarization, and inflammatory cytokine release. The experiment investigated how RBG influences macrophage infiltration and promotes polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype while inhibiting pro-inflammatory M1 activation. The study also assessed RBG's impact on the formation of foamy macrophages, which are critical in atherosclerosis progression. Results demonstrated that RBG reduced macrophage infiltration, promoted M2 polarization, and decreased foam cell formation.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
macrophage polarization and foam cell formation
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
RBG was expected to inhibit M1 macrophage activation and promote M2 polarization while reducing foam cell formation. Results showed reduced macrophage infiltration, promoted M2 polarization, and decreased formation of foamy macrophages
SUCCESS CRITERIA
increased M2 markers, decreased M1 markers, reduced foam cell formation
PROTOCOL
cellular studies assessing macrophage infiltration, M1/M2 polarization markers, foam cell formation, and inflammatory cytokine release in response to RBG treatment
