It has been shown that plasma level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent predictor for acute coronary syndromes and is associated with plaque weakening. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of CRP on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) that has been implicated in plaque vulnerability by human U937 histiocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages.
