چکیده

During atherosclerosis monocyte-derived macrophages accumulate cholesteryl esters from low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) via lectin-like oxidised LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) and class AI and AII (SR-AI, SR-AII) and class B (SR-BI, CD36) scavenger receptors. Here we examined the hypothesis that hyperglycaemia may modulate receptor expression and hence lipid accumulation in macrophages. Human monocytes were matured into macrophages in 30 versus 5 mM glucose and receptor expression and lipid accumulation quantified. High glucose elevated LOX1 mRNA, but decreased SR-AI, SR-BI, LDLR, and CD36 mRNA. SR-BI and CD36 protein levels were decreased. Normo- and hyperglycaemic cells accumulated cholesteryl esters from modified LDL to a greater extent than control LDL, but total and individual cholesteryl ester accumulation was not affected by glucose levels. It is concluded that, whilst macrophage scavenger receptor mRNA and protein levels can be modulated by high glucose, these are not key factors in lipid accumulation by human macrophages under the conditions examined.

Metabolism of acetylated low density lipoproteins by monocyte-derived macrophages from patients with Werner's syndrome.

Accumulation of lipid-laden foam cells of monocyte origin plays an important role in atherogenesis. Therefore, for determination of the mechanism of accelerated atherogenesis in Werner's syndrome, studies were carried out on the metabolism of acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL) by monocyte-derived macrophages from patients with this syndrome. These macrophages showed abnormally high activi...

Scavenger activity in monocyte-derived macrophages from atherothrombotic strokes.

Foam cells are lipid-laden macrophages derived primarily from circulating mononuclear cells and are a characteristic feature of atheromatous lesions. The exact role of these foam cells in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesions remains uncertain, but one potential function is to take-up and process excess interstitial arterial lipoproteins, suggested by their extraordinary ability to engulf...

Alpha-tocopherol decreases CD36 expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

Cholesterol-laden macrophages are the hallmark of atherogenesis. The class B scavenger receptor, CD36, binds oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), is found in atherosclerotic lesions, and is upregulated by OxLDL. We tested the effects of alpha-tocopherol (AT) enrichment of human monocyte-derived macrophages on CD36 expression and cholesteryl ester accumulation. Monocytes isolated from norma...

Enhanced lipoprotein lipase secretion from human monocyte-derived macrophages caused by hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoproteins.

We studied the effects of very low density lipoprotein (VDL) obtained from hypertriglyceridemic subjects on the secretion of lipoprotein lipase and lipid accumulation in human monocyte-derived macrophages. The incubation of macrophages with VLDL obtained from different subjects caused different effects on the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (6.8 to 137.7 nM free fatty acid/min/mg cell protein) ...

Glycation Induced Physicochemical Changes in Low-Density Lipoprotein and Its Role in Promoting Cholesterol Accumulation in Macrophages along with Antiglycation Effect of Aminoguanidine

The present study aimed at investigating physicochemical changes in modified LDL by sugars specifically fructose due to recent reports on its involvement in cardiovascular diseases and also glucose and their role in subsequent in vitro accumulation of cholesterol in macrophages. Antiglycation action of aminoguanidine was also investigated. LDL isolated from human blood was incubated with fructo...
