Endothelial Cell CD36 Regulates Membrane Ceramide Formation, Exosome Fatty Acid Delivery to Tissues and Circulating Fatty Acid Levels

ABSTRACT: Endothelial cell (EC) CD36 controls tissue fatty acid (FA) uptake. Here we examined how ECs transfer FAs. FA interaction with apical membrane CD36 induced Src phosphorylation of caveolin-1 tyrosine-14 (Cav-1Y14) and ceramide generation in caveolae. Fission of the caveolae yielded vesicles containing FAs, CD36 and ceramide that were secreted basolaterally as small (80-100nm) exosome-like extracellular vesicles (sEVs). We visualized EC transfer of FAs in sEVs to underlying myotubes in transwells. In mice with EC-expression of the exosome marker emeraldGFP-CD63, muscle fibers accumulated circulating FAs in emGFP-labeled puncta. The FA-sEV pathway was mapped through its suppression by CD36 depletion, blocking actin-remodeling, Src inhibition, Cav-1Y14 mutation, and neutral sphingomyelinase 2 inhibition. Suppression of sEV formation in mice reduced muscle FA uptake, raised circulating FAs, which remained in blood vessels, and lowered glucose, mimicking prominent Cd36-/- phenotypes. The findings show that FA uptake influences membrane ceramide, endocytosis, and EC communication with parenchymal cells.

Project description:Background: Monocytes and macrophages are implicated in inflammation and atherosclerosis, whereas monocytes are involved in psoriasis lesion formation. We previously reported a psoriatic inflammation-associated significant decrease in the membrane protein caveolin-1 (CAV-1) in psoriasis patient monocytes. However, the phenotype of circulating monocytes and their macrophage differentiation in psoriasis patients remain unclear. Objective: We sought to clarify circulating monocyte and monocyte-derived macrophage (MDM) phenotypes in psoriasis patients with and without comorbidities. Method: Thirty-one patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 28 control subjects were included. Surface macrophage markers and inflammatory status were examined in circulating monocytes and MDMs from both groups. Expression of CD36, which mediates macrophage uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), was evaluated in these cells. CAV-1-silenced monocytes were differentiated into macrophages to investigate the effects of CAV-1 downregulation on psoriatic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Results: Macrophage surface markers were detectable in circulating monocytes. A significant M1 shift was detected in monocytes and MDMs in psoriasis patients, including those without cardiovascular disease risk factors, as compared to controls. MDMs of psoriasis patients had more CD36-expressing cells, which are associated with atherosclerosis risk. Additionally, CAV-1-silencing in monocytes increased the likelihood of M1-biased macrophage differentiation and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Conclusions: Monocytes from psoriasis patients were more likely to differentiate into M1-dominant macrophages, correlating with inflammatory status and CAV-1 expression. These aberrant inflammatory monocytes not only contribute to psoriatic inflammation by producing psoriatic cytokines, but also have a phenotype that could increase atherosclerosis risk by uptake of oxLDL and formation of foam cells.
