The effect of macrophages on the uptake of beta-very low-density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL) by smooth muscle cells (SMC) expressing different morphological phenotypes was examined in culture. The SMC were grown alone and in co-culture with macrophages for four days, then incubated with different concentrations of 125I-beta-VLDL for 3 h at 4 degrees C or with 75 ug/ml beta-VLDL for 24 h at 37 degrees C. The binding of beta-VLDL to SMC at 4 degrees C was enhanced in the presence of macrophages irrespective of the phenotype expressed by SMC. This occurred through modification of the lipoprotein, since binding of re-isolated macrophage-conditioned beta-VLDL to SMC was 12.5 times that of fresh beta-VLDL. This modified form of beta-VLDL competed with fresh beta-VLDL for binding to SMC. Binding was inhibited in the presence of probucol, suggesting that an oxidative mechanism may be involved. The presence of macrophages also enhanced the accumulation of beta-VLDL-derived cholesterol in SMC. While most of this is a consequence of the enhanced binding, macrophages may also act directly on SMC to increase cholesterol accumulation, since the activity of acid cholesterol ester hydrolase and neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase in SMC was reduced in the presence of macrophages.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the 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.
