The interaction of mouse peritoneal and human pericardial macrophages with lipoprotein (LP)-antibody (Ab) immune complex isolated from the serum of ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients has been studied. It is shown that the Ab of the autoimmune complex belongs to IgG class, and the antigen is the LP with d less than 1.063 g/ml. Incubation of mouse peritoneal macrophages with such complex led to the activation of [14C]oleic acid incorporation into cholesteryl esters by 2.5-2.8-fold, in comparison with the experiments where macrophages were incubated with free apoprotein (apo) B-containing LP isolated from the same serum. Incubation of human pericardial macrophages with autologous LP-Ab immune complex led to the transformation of macrophages into foam cells. These data lead to the conclusion that formation of LP-Ab autoimmune complexes may play an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions of the arteries.

D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
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.

D002788 Cholesterol Esters Fatty acid esters of cholesterol which constitute about two-thirds of the cholesterol in the plasma. The accumulation of cholesterol esters in the arterial intima is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
