Helical apolipoproteins of high-density lipoprotein enhance phagocytosis by stabilizing ATP-binding cassette transporter A7.

ABSTRACT: We previously reported that the endogenous ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC)A7 strongly associates with phagocytic function rather than biogenesis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), being regulated by sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)2. Phagocytic activity was found enhanced by apolipoprotein (apo)A-I and apoA-II more than twice the maximum in J774 and mouse peritoneal macrophages. Therefore we investigated the molecular basis of this reaction in association with the function of ABCA7. Similar to ABCA1, ABCA7 was degraded, likely by calpain, and apoA-I and apoA-II stabilize ABCA7 against degradation. Cell surface biotinylation experiments demonstrated that endogenous ABCA7 predominantly resides on the cell surface and that the apolipoproteins increase the surface ABCA7. The increase of phagocytosis by apolipoproteins was retained in the J774 cells treated with ABCA1 siRNA and in the peritoneal macrophages from ABCA1-knockout mice, but it was abolished in the J774 cells treated with ABCA7 siRNA and in the peritoneal macrophages from ABCA7-knockout mice. Phagocytosis was decreased in the cells in the peritoneal cavity of the ABCA7-knockout mouse compared with the wild-type control. We thus concluded that extracellular helical apolipoproteins augment ABCA7-associated phagocytosis by stabilizing ABCA7. The results demonstrated direct enhancement of the host defense system by HDL components.

Project description:Transplantation studies suggest that bone marrow cell ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 protects against atherosclerosis development. However, the in vivo effect of macrophage ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 expression on atherogenesis is not fully understood because bone marrow contains other leukocytes and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Myeloid-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 knockout mice in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor knockout C57BL/6 background were developed to address this question.Chow-fed myeloid-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 knockout/LDL receptor knockout (double knockout [DKO]) versus LDL receptor knockout (single knockout [SKO]) mice had similar plasma lipid concentrations, but atherogenic diet (AD)-fed DKO mice had reduced plasma very-LDL (VLDL)/LDL concentrations resulting from decreased hepatic VLDL triglyceride secretion. Resident peritoneal macrophages from AD-fed DKO versus SKO mice had significantly higher cholesterol content but similar proinflammatory gene expression. Atherosclerosis extent was similar between genotypes after 10 to 16 weeks of AD but increased modestly in DKO mice by 24 weeks of AD. Lesional macrophage content was similar, likely because of the higher monocyte flux through aortic root lesions in DKO versus SKO mice. After transplantation of DKO or SKO bone marrow into SKO mice and 16 weeks of AD feeding, atherosclerosis extent was similar and plasma apolipoprotein B lipoproteins were reduced in mice receiving DKO bone marrow. When differences in plasma VLDL/LDL concentrations were minimized by maintaining mice on chow for 24 weeks, DKO mice had modest, but significantly more, atherosclerosis compared with SKO mice.Myeloid cell ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 increases hepatic VLDL triglyceride secretion and plasma VLDL/LDL concentrations in AD-fed LDL receptor knockout mice, offsetting its atheroprotective role in decreasing macrophage cholesterol content, resulting in a minimal increase in atherosclerosis.
