We have recently demonstrated that the growth of murine macrophages is induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) and that lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC), a major phospholipid component of Ox-LDL, plays an essential role in its mitogenic effect. The present study was undertaken to further characterize the role of the macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) in Ox-LDL-induced macrophage growth. The growth-stimulating effect of Ox-LDL on murine resident peritoneal macrophages was inhibited by maleylated bovine serum albumin (maleyl-BSA), a non-lipoprotein ligand for MSR but a poor carrier of lyso-PC, while maleyl-BSA itself failed to induce macrophage growth even in the presence of lyso-PC. Moreover, it competitively inhibited the endocytic uptake of 125I-Ox-LDL and the specific uptake of lyso-PC by MSR, whereas nonspecific lyso-PC transfer to cells was not affected. Furthermore, the Ox-LDL-induced cell growth of peritoneal macrophages obtained from MSR knockout mice was significantly weaker than that of macrophages obtained from their wild-type littermates. Our results suggest that the MSR is an important and efficient internalization pathway for lyso-PC in Ox-LDL-induced macrophage growth.

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.
