Project description:The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of 48 hours of treatment with oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) on gene expression in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. 6 independent biological replicates were processed. From each replicate half of the cells were treated with oxLDL and the other half were treated with the control buffer. For foam cell formation (after 7 days) macrophages were treated with oxLDL (50mcg/ml, enodtoxin free, Copper oxidized). Control macrophages were treated with a matching buffer without oxLDL. Treatment duration - 48 hours.

Project description:The phagocytosis of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by monocyte-derived macrophages and the subsequent differentiation of macrophages into foam cells are the key steps in atherogenesis. Our study provides a potential new therapeutic strategy to alleviate oxLDL accumulation and foam cell formation.

Project description:We report the enhancer landscape in primary human macrophages and foam cells using ChIP-seq for the H3K27ac histone mark CD14+ monocytes were isolated from the blood of 2 healthy male volunteers. Monocytes were differentiated into macrophages by culture for 7 days with 50ng/ml macrophage colony stimulating factor and then treated for 48 hours with either oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) to induce foam cell formation or with a control buffer that lacked oxLDL. The resulting 4 samples were then subjected to ChIP-seq for H3K27ac.

Project description:We report the open chromatin landscape in primary human macrophages and foam cells using FAIRE-seq CD14+ monocytes were isolated from the blood of 3 healthy volunteers. Monocytes were differentiated into macrophages by culture for 7 days with 50ng/ml macrophage colony stimulating factor and then treated for 48 hours with either oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) to induce foam cell formation or with a control buffer that lacked oxLDL. The resulting six samples were then subjected to FAIRE-seq using an established protocol (Simon JM, Giresi PG, Davis IJ, Lieb JD. Using formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) to isolate active regulatory DNA. Nature protocols 2012;7:256-67).

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid-loaded macrophages in the arterial wall. Intimal macrophages internalize modified lipoproteins such as oxidized LDL (oxLDL) through scavenger receptors, leading to storage of excess cholesteryl esters in lipid bodies and a "foam cell" phenotype. In addition, stimulation of macrophage Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has been shown to promote lipid body proliferation. We investigated the possibility that there are transcriptional regulators that are common to both pathways for stimulating foam cell formation (modified lipoproteins and TLR stimulation), and identified the transcription factor ATF3 as a candidate regulator. In this specific microarray experiment, we studied the effect of genetic knockout of ATF3 on the transcriptional response of macrophages to oxLDL. Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages from two different mouse strains (Atf3-/- and WT) were incubated in the presence or absence of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), and then transcriptionally profiled using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon Array 1.0 ST. The goal was to study the pattern of differential expression between WT and Atf3-/- strains, in oxLDL-induced foam cells and in non-foamy control cells, to identify cellular pathways that may be dysregulated under loss of the transcription factor ATF3 in macrophage foam cells.

Project description:Foam cell formation from monocyte-derived macrophages is a hallmark of atheroscle-rotic lesions. Aspects of this process can be recapitulated in vitro by exposing MCSF-induced or platelet factor4 (CXCL4)-induced macrophages to oxidized (ox) or minimally modified (mm) low density lipoprotein (LDL). We measured gene expression in periph-eral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes and macrophages treated with CXCL1 (GRO-α) or CCL2 (MCP-1) as well as foam cells induced by native LDL, mmLDL or oxLDL using 22 Affymetrix gene chips. Using an advanced Bayesian error-pooling approach and a heterogeneous error model (HEM) with a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05, we found 5,303 of 22,215 probe sets to be significantly regulated in at least one of the conditions. Among a subset of 917 candidate genes that were preselected for their known biological functions in macrophage foamcell differentiation, we found that 290 genes met the above statistical criteria for significant differential expression patterns. While many expected genes were found to be upregulated by LDL and oxLDL, very few were induced by mmLDL. We also found induction of unexpected genes, most strikingly MHC-II and other dendritic cell markers such as CD11c. The gene expression patterns in response to oxLDL were similar in MCSF-induced and CXCL4-induced macrophages. Our findings suggest that LDL and oxLDL, but not mmLDL, induce a dendritic cell-like phenotype in macrophages, suggesting that these cells may be able to present antigens and support an immune response.

Twelve female mice (six Atf3-/-, and six WT control mice) were sacrificed at 8-12 weeks of age, and macrophages were derived from the femoral bone marrow using rhM-CSF. oxLDL was introduced into the medium for six samples (3 WT and 3 Atf3-/-) at 25 ug/mL on day seven, and after 24 h of incubation, RNA was isolated using Trizol. Labeled cRNA derived from the RNA samples was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Exon Array 1.0 ST GeneChips. Microarray data were processed using transcript-level probesets, and are in log2 scale.

Our findings suggest that LDL and oxLDL, but not mmLDL, induce a dendritic cell-like phenotype in macrophages, suggesting that these cells may be able to present antigens and support an immune response. Experiment Overall Design: Human blood was drawn from the antecubital veins of healthy blood donors and provided as buffy coats by the Virginia Blood Services (Richmond, VA). The mononuclear fractions were pooled from four unidentified donors to decrease individual variations in monocytes. Mixed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Histopaque 1.077 (Sigma Diagnostics, Inc., St. Louis, MO). Following centrifugation, the mononuclear layer was removed and washed with PBS containing 0.02% ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). The pellet was resuspended in 1X H-lyse Buffer (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN), and washed with wash buffer. PBMCs contain mainly monocytes and lymphocytes as well as platelets that tend to be associated with blood monocytes. From these PBMCs, monocytes were isolated using a negative selection monocyte isolation kit and LS columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The purity of the isolated fraction was > 97% as estimated by flow cytometry using anti-CD14 (data not shown). Although these cells are often called âuntouchedâ monocytes and thought to show little activation, the gene chip analysis conducted on these cells shows massive changes in gene expression compared to PBMCs (see below). Experiment Overall Design: Monocytes were cultured in Macrophage Serum-Free Medium (MSFM, Invitro-gen, Carlsbad, CA) in the presence of 1% media supplement nutridoma-HU (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, IN) and 100 nM M-CSF for 6 days, after which the cells showed the expected morphological signs of macrophage differentiation. These macrophages were incubated either with 100 nM CCL2 or CXCL1 for 5 hours. CXCL1 was selected because we have previously found that it is an important arrest chemokine for monocytes in vitro and in atherosclerotic arteries in vivo. CCL2 was chosen because mice lacking CCL2 or its receptor CCR2 are relatively resistant to atherosclerosis, suggesting a role in macrophage recruitment, differentiation and/or survival. Human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were also incubated with native LDL, oxidized LDL (oxLDL) or minimally modified LDL (mmLDL) (each at a concentration of 100 ug/ml) for 2 days to induce foam cell formation. Foam cell formation was verified by oil red O staining (figure 1) and by determining their cholesterol and cholesterol ester content. OxLDL and mmLDL were prepared from the same native LDL for each experiment as described. Control experiments were conducted on macrophages cultured in M-CSF without LDL for an additional 2 days. Two separate sets of monocytes were incubated with CXCL4 (100 nM) for 6 days, another procedure known to induce macrophage differentiation (29), with and without oxLDL to induce foam cell formation. RNA was extracted from cells in all 11 conditions (table 1) and gene expression was measured in duplicates at the University of Virginia Gene Expression Core Facility using Affymetrix equipment.
