A PPAR gamma-LXR-ABCA1 pathway in macrophages is involved in cholesterol efflux and atherogenesis.

It is proposed that PPAR gamma coordinates a complex physiologic response to oxLDL that involves particle uptake, processing, and cholesterol removal through ABCA1.

Oxidized LDL reduces monocyte CCR2 expression through pathways involving peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.

Evidence is provided that OxLDL reduces monocyte CCR2 expression by activating intracellular signaling pathways that may involve peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), which implicate PPARGamma in the inhibition of CCR1 gene expression by oxidized lipids, which may help retain monocytes at sites of inflammation, such as the atherosclerotic lesion.

Regulation of Macrophage Gene Expression by the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ

Findings suggest that PPAR-γ activity may play an important role in mediating macrophage gene expression signaled by IL-4, and provide evidence that the coordinate induction of PPar-γ and 12/15-lipoxygenase mediatesIL-4 dependent transcription of the CD36 gene and down-regulation of iNOS in macrophages.

CD36 in Atherosclerosis: The Role of a Class B Macrophage Scavenger Receptor

Results suggest that activation of CD36 gene expression by OxLDL involves activation and translocation of PKC with subsequent PPARγ activation, which suggests that in vivo contribution ofCD36 to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is underestimated.

The role of PPAR-γ in macrophage differentiation and cholesterol uptake

In wild-type macrophages, TZD treatment divergently regulated CD36 and class A macrophage-scavenger receptor expression and failed to induce significant cellular cholesterol accumulation, indicating that TZDs may not exacerbate Macrophage foam-cell formation.

PPARgamma activation induces the expression of the adipocyte fatty acid binding protein gene in human monocytes.

It is reported that both natural and synthetic PPARgamma agonists induce time- and dose-dependent increases in aP2 mRNA in both primary human monocytes and the monocytic cell line, THP-1, which suggests that PPARGamma activation may play a role in monocyte differentiation and function analogous to its well-characterized role in adipocytes.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ is a negative regulator of macrophage activation

It is shown that PPAR-γ is markedly upregulated in activated macrophages and inhibits the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase, gelatinase B and scavenger receptor A genes in response to 15d-PGJ2 and synthetic PPar-γ ligands, suggesting that PPARS and locally produced prostaglandin D2 metabolites are involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses.

PPAR-γ agonists inhibit production of monocyte inflammatory cytokines

Inhibition of cytokine production may help to explain the incremental therapeutic benefit of NSAIDs observed in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis at plasma drug concentrations substantially higher than are required to inhibit prostaglandin G/H synthase (cyclooxygenase).

Native and Modified Low Density Lipoproteins Increase the Functional Expression of the Macrophage Class B Scavenger Receptor, CD36*

Exposure to free and esterified lipids augments functional expression of the class B scavenger receptor, CD36, and implies that lipoproteins can further contribute to foam cell development in atherosclerosis by up-regulating a major OxLDL receptor.

Oxidized low density lipoprotein inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced binding of nuclear factor-kappaB to DNA and the subsequent expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta in macrophages.

A decreased LPS-induced TNF-alpha and IL-1beta mRNA and protein expression were found in macrophages incubated with oxLDL before LPS -exposure, suggesting that Macrophages that internalize extensively oxidized LDL are suppressed in their response to inflammatory stimulation.

Oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins: a potential role in recruitment and retention of monocyte/macrophages during atherogenesis.

A pathogenetic sequence by which elevated plasma LDL levels, followed by oxidative modification in the arterial wall, could sufficiently account for the generation of the lipid-laden foam cells and the initiation of the fatty streak, the earliest well-defined lesion in atherogenesis.
