摘要
The demonstration of lipid loaded macrophages in atherosclerotic tissue has led to the development of in vitro systems to elucidate the mechanisms involved in lipid accumulation. Here we have characterised the changes which occur in human monocyte-derived macrophage (MDM) lipids during culture in either human serum (HS) or foetal calf serum (FCS). MDM cultured in HS were rapidly converted to lipid filled foam cells, as assessed using HPLC analysis and oil red-O staining and compared with the same cells grown in FCS. However, the lipids which accumulated were predominantly triglycerides with smaller amounts of unesterified cholesterol (UC) and only traces of cholesteryl esters (CE). alpha-Tocopherol (alpha-TocH) was present at higher levels in MDM cultured in HS compared to the same cells grown in FCS. MDM lipid accumulation was dependent on the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TGRL) fraction of human serum; accordingly, supplementation of FCS with human TGRL also induced MDM lipid accumulation. The relationships between cellular lipid accumulation and secretion of apolipoprotein E (ape E) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as well as expression of the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) were also examined. MDM lipid accumulation was associated with increased apo E secretion but did not alter extracellular LPL activity. The lipid accumulation which was induced by HS was potently inhibited (but not reversed) by the inflammatory cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), and this was associated with decreased apo E production, LPL secretion and expression of LRP. These studies reveal striking differences in the lipid composition of MDM cultured in either HS or FCS, and indicate that oil red-O staining is not necessarily associated with cholesteryl ester accumulation in human macrophages. Furthermore, the effect that serum-induced lipid accumulation has on the specific MDM functions studied should be appreciated when developing in vitro macrophage models.
