?M?? integrin activation prevents alternative activation of human and murine macrophages and impedes foam cell formation.


ABSTRACT: RATIONALE:The alternative activation of monocytes by interleukin (IL)-13 and IL-4 is a significant component of the inflammatory response. The consequences of alternative activation in inflammatory diseases remain to be determined. OBJECTIVE:In this report, we explored how integrins, receptors important for monocyte migration to inflammatory sites, regulate IL-13-mediated monocyte activation. We focused on the analysis of 2 proteins, which are upregulated during the alternative activation and are important for the development of atherosclerosis, an oxidative enzyme 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) and a scavenger receptor CD36. METHODS AND RESULTS:We found that adhesion of resting monocytes through ?(2) integrins and inside-out activation of ?(2) integrins by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 did not change IL-13-stimulated 15-LO upregulation; however, preincubation of monocytes with the antibody MEM48, which generates full activation of ?(2) integrins, significantly inhibited 15-LO mRNA and protein expression. In contrast, activation of ?(1) integrins had no effect on 15-LO expression. Analysis of integrin clustering through ?(M), ?(L), ?(X), and ?(D) subunits demonstrated the pivotal role for integrin ?(M)?(2) in inhibiting 15-LO expression. IL-13 treatment upregulates 15-LO-dependent CD36 expression on human monocytes; our studies showed that ?(2) integrin activation and ?(M) integrin clustering significantly inhibited IL-13-dependent CD36 mRNA and protein expression, as well as CD36-related foam cell formation. Moreover, IL-13 stimulation of ?(M)-deficient peritoneal macrophages demonstrated an upregulated level of 15-LO induction, CD36 expression, and lipid accumulation as compared with wild-type controls. CONCLUSIONS:The adhesion of monocytes/macrophages through activated integrin ?(M)?(2) has a regulatory and potential atheroprotective function during the alternative activation of macrophages.
