CCL2 and atherosclerosis: IFNγ promotes atherosclerosis by inducing inflammatory mediators such as CCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL12, CXCL16, and VCAM1 in vascular endothelial cells, increasing inflammatory cytokines production by macrophages and T cells, promoting foam cell formation by increasing scavenger receptor expression on macrophages, and increasing smooth muscle migration [reviewed in (102)].
