Interaction of oxidized HDLs with J774-A1 macrophages causes intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol.

چکیده
Uptake of modified lipoproteins by resident arterial monocytes/macrophages is believed to be a key event in the formation of foam cells and thus in the early phases of atherosclerosis. Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) that undergo oxidative changes become suitable for uptake by macrophages through a specific scavenger receptor that leads to cholesteryl ester accumulation. Because the interaction of other oxidized lipoproteins with macrophages has been poorly investigated, we studied the effect of oxidatively modified high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) on the sterol metabolism of J774-A1 macrophages. Unlike native HDLs, oxidized HDLs caused a concentration-dependent accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and decreased [14C]oleate incorporation into steryl esters. Oxidized HDLs also decreased [14C]acetate incorporation into newly synthesized sterols. Cell surface binding of 125I-oxidized HDLs to the macrophages was saturable, with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.96 nmol/mL. Both oxidized and acetylated LDLs but not native lipoproteins could compete for binding of 125I-oxidized HDL. The data support the conclusion that the effects elicited by oxidized HDLs on the sterol metabolism of macrophages are significantly different from those of native HDLs. The binding of oxidized HDLs to macrophages occurs at sites that are likely the same as those for modified LDLs. We speculate that, if occurring in vivo, HDL oxidation would generate modified lipoproteins capable of modulating the cholesterol homeostasis of macrophages.

Pomegranate juice inhibits oxidized LDL uptake and cholesterol biosynthesis in macrophages.
Macrophage cholesterol accumulation and foam cell formation are the hallmarks of early atherogenesis. Pomegranate juice (PJ) was shown to inhibit macrophage foam cell formation and development of atherosclerotic lesions. The aim of this study was to elucidate possible mechanisms by which PJ reduces cholesterol accumulation in macrophages. J774.A1 macrophages were preincubated with PJ followed b...
متن کاملLysosomal lipid accumulation from oxidized low density lipoprotein is correlated with hypertrophy of the Golgi apparatus and trans-Golgi network.
Lipid accumulation within macrophages is a major sequelae of atherosclerosis. Much of this lipid accumulation occurs within large, swollen lysosomes. We analyzed lipid accumulation in cultured macrophages using oxidized or acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL) as the loading agent. Pigeon macrophages incubated for 48 h with mildly oxidized pigeon LDL (TBARS = 5-10 nmol/mg protein) showed sig...
متن کاملWhat is so special about apolipoprotein AI in reverse cholesterol transport?
An initial step in reverse cholesterol transport is the movement of unesterified cholesterol from peripheral cells to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). This transfer usually occurs in extracellular spaces, such as the subendothelial space of a vessel wall, and is promoted by the interaction of lipid-free or lipid-poor apolipoprotein (apo)AI with ATP binding cassette A1 cellular transporters on ...
متن کاملUptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages differs from that of acetyl LDL and leads to expansion of an acidic endolysosomal compartment.
Accumulation of cholesterol by macrophage foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions is thought to involve the uptake of modified low density lipoproteins (LDLs). Previous studies have shown that there is impaired degradation of oxidized LDL in macrophages. The present study was done to determine whether the differences in intracellular metabolism of oxidized LDL and acetyl LDL were associated with ...
متن کاملBis(monoacylglycero)phosphate accumulation in macrophages induces intracellular cholesterol redistribution, attenuates liver-X receptor/ATP-Binding cassette transporter A1/ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 pathway, and impairs cholesterol efflux.
OBJECTIVE Endosomal signature phospholipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) has been involved in the regulation of cellular cholesterol homeostasis. Accumulation of BMP is a hallmark of lipid storage disorders and was recently reported as a noticeable feature of oxidized low-density lipoprotein-laden macrophages. This study was designed to delineate the consequences of macrophage BMP accumul...
