We characterize the underlying mechanism and investigate the relevant sources of CSF1 in lesions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Approach and Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              We quantitatively assessed the effects of CSF1 deficiency on macrophage proliferation and apoptosis in atherosclerotic lesions. Staining of aortic lesions with markers of proliferation, Ki-67 and bromodeoxyuridine, revealed around 40% reduction in CSF1 heterozygous (Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/\u2013<\/jats:sup>\n              ) as compared with WT (wild type; Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n              ) mice. Similarly, staining with a marker of apoptosis, activated caspase-3, revealed a 3-fold increase in apoptotic cells in Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/\u2013<\/jats:sup>\n              mice. Next, we determined the cellular sources of CSF1 contributing to lesion development. Cell-specific deletions of Csf1 in smooth muscle cells using SM22\u03b1-Cre (smooth muscle protein 22-alpha-Cre) reduced lesions by about 40%, and in endothelial cells, deletions with Cdh5-Cre (VE-cadherin-Cre) reduced lesions by about 30%. Macrophage-specific deletion with LysM-Cre (lysozyme M-Cre), on the other hand, did not significantly reduce lesions size. Transplantation of Csf1 null (Csf1\n              <jats:sup>\u2212\/<\/jats:sup>\n              <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n              ) mice bone marrow into Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n              mice reduced lesions by about 35%, suggesting that CSF1 from hematopoietic cells other than macrophages contributes to atherosclerosis. None of the cell-specific knockouts affected circulating CSF1 levels, and only the smooth muscle cell deletions had any effect on the percentage monocytes in the circulation. Also, Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/\u2013<\/jats:sup>\n              mice did not exhibit significant differences in Ly6C\n              <jats:sup>high<\/jats:sup>\n              \/Ly6C\n              <jats:sup>low<\/jats:sup>\n              monocytes as compared with Csf1\n              <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n              .\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>CSF1 contributes to both macrophage proliferation and survival in lesions.
