For (18)F-FDG PET to be widely used to monitor atherosclerosis progression and therapeutic response, it is crucial to better understand how macrophage glucose metabolism is influenced by the atherosclerotic microenvironment and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of this response. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a key player in atherosclerotic inflammation that promotes macrophage recruitment, activation, and foam cell formation. We thus explored the effect of oxLDL on macrophage (18)F-FDG uptake and investigated the underlying molecular mechanism including the roles of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODS RAW264.7 macrophages were stimulated with native LDL, oxLDL, or lipopolysaccharide. Cells were assessed for (18)F-FDG uptake, lactate production, membrane glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression, and hexokinase activity. ROS generation, Nox expression, and HIF-1α activity were also measured. RESULTS oxLDL (20 μg/mL) induced a 17.5 ± 1.7-fold increase in macrophage (18)F-FDG uptake by 24 h, which was accompanied by increased lactate production, membrane GLUT1 expression, and hexokinase activity. oxLDL-stimulated (18)F-FDG uptake was completely blocked by inhibitors of Src or phosphoinositide 3-kinase. ROS generation was increased to 262.4% ± 17.9% of controls by oxLDL, and N-acetyl-l-cysteine completely abrogated both oxLDL-induced ROS production and (18)F-FDG uptake. oxLDL increased Nox2 expression, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase inhibition totally blocked increased ROS generation and (18)F-FDG uptake by oxLDL. Finally, there was a clear ROS-dependent increase of HIF-1α accumulation by oxLDL, and silencing of HIF-1α completely abolished the metabolic effect of oxLDL. CONCLUSIONS oxLDL is a strong stimulator of macrophage (18)F-FDG uptake and glycolysis through upregulation of GLUT1 and hexokinase. This metabolic response is mediated by Nox2-dependent ROS generation that promotes HIF-1α activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase.
