Abstract
CXCL3 (C-X-C Motif Chemokine 3), a member of the C-X-C chemokine subfamily, operates as a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils, thereby orchestrating the recruitment and migration of leukocytes alongside eliciting an inflammatory response. Recent inquiries have shed light on the pivotal roles of CXCL3 in the context of carcinogenesis. In the tumor microenvironment, CXCL3 emanating from both tumor and stromal cells intricately modulates cellular behaviors through autocrine and paracrine actions, primarily via interaction with its receptor CXCR2. Activation of signaling cascades such as ERK/MAPK, AKT, and JAK2/STAT3 underscores CXCL3's propensity to favor tumorigenic processes. However, CXCL3 exhibits dualistic behaviors, as evidenced by its capacity to exert anti-tumor effects under specific conditions. Additionally, the involvement of CXCL3 extends to inflammatory disorders like eclampsia, obesity, and asthma. This review encapsulates the structural attributes, biological functionalities, and molecular underpinnings of CXCL3 across both tumorigenesis and inflammatory diseases.

[PMID: 37121164 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS As a member of mitochondrial sirtuins, Sirt4 plays a vital role in cellular metabolism and intracellular signal transduction; however, its effect on atherosclerosis is unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of Sirt4 on atherosclerosis and its underlying mechanism. METHODS In vivo, Apoe-/- and Apoe-/-/Sirt4-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet to induce atherosclerosis. In vitro, peritoneal macrophages from two mouse types were extracted and treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein to establish a cell model, THP-1 cells were used to observe the effect of Sirt4 on the adhesion ability of monocytes. The growth and composition of aortic plaques in two mouse types were analyzed by H&E staining, Oil Red O staining, Dil oxidized low-density lipoprotein, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Transcriptome analysis and Western blotting were performed to explore the specific mechanism. RESULTS Sirt4 deficiency aggravated atherosclerosis in mice. In vivo, aortic plaque size, lipid content, and expression of related inflammatory factors in Apoe-/-/Sirt4-/- mice were higher than those in the control group, whereas the content of collagen Ⅰ and smooth muscle actin-α was significantly lower. Sirt4-deficient macrophages exhibited stronger lipid phagocytosis in vitro, and the adhesion ability of monocytes increased when Sirt4 expression decreased. Transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of CXCL2 and CXCL3 in Sirt4-deficient peritoneal macrophages increased significantly, which may play a role by activating the NF-κB pathway. In further analysis, the results in vitro and in vivo showed that the expression of VCAM-1 and pro-inflammatory factors, such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β, increased, whereas the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-37 decreased in Sirt4-deficient peritoneal macrophages and tissues. After blocking the effect with NK-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082, the inflammatory reaction in sirt4 deficient macrophages was also significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that Sirt4 deficiency promotes the development of atherosclerosis by activating the NF-κB/IκB/CXCL2/3 pathway, suggesting that Sirt4 may exhibit a protective effect in atherosclerosis, which provides a new strategy for clinical prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the dysregulation of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress are the typical features. Subsequent dyslipidemia and oxygen radical production may render the formation of modified lipids. Macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) is responsible for the uptake of modified lipoprotein and is one of the key molecules in atherosclerosis. However, the unrestricted uptake of modified lipoproteins by MSR1 and the formation of cholesterol-rich foamy macrophages also can be observed in NASH patients and mouse models. In this review, we highlight the dysregulation of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in NASH, the alteration of MSR1 expression in physiological and pathological conditions, the formation of modified lipoproteins, and the role of MSR1 on macrophage foaming and NASH development and progression.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common pathological basis for many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and result in high mortality and immense health and economic burdens worldwide. Early prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are promising approaches for stemming the development and progression of AS. Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family. It is widely found in body fluids such as digestive tract fluids, tears, and milk. Lf possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, immunoregulatory, antioxidant and many other physiological functions. The serum Lf level is reportedly associated with the risk of AS and AS-related CVDs. Lf administration is closely involved in several mechanisms, including cholesterol metabolism, foam cell formation, ICAM-1 expression, homocysteine and leptin levels, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant function. Moreover, Lf has also been applied in the sythesis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents to detect AS. Lf plays an important role in AS and may therefore be used in its diagnosis and treatment. Thus, this article aims to review the association between Lf and the risk of AS and AS-related CVDs, the mechanisms of Lf administration on AS, and its potential application in AS diagnosis.

Abstract
First discovered on macrophages by Goldstein and Brown in 1979, Scavenger Receptors have since been shown to participate in a diverse number of cell functions; equally diverse are their structures and the ligands they bind. Macrophage activation is crucial in the outcome of an immune response. SR-A1 is highly abundant on macrophages and recognizes both host- and microorganism-derived molecules that impact processes that are initiated, perpetuated, or modified. This review summarizes the involvement of SR-A1 in both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, the multiple-ligand internalization mechanisms and the diversity of signaling pathways that impact macrophage function and activation. Engagement of SR-A1 results in the stimulation of differential signaling pathways and patterns of cytokine expression, kinetics, magnitude of response and activation status. SR-A1 plays essential roles in phagocytosis and efferocytosis, interacting with other receptors and promoting tolerance in response to apoptotic cell uptake. In cell adhesion, tissue remodeling, and cell migration, SR-A1 signals through different pathways engaging different cytoplasmic motifs. We describe the role of SR-A1 during innate and adaptive immune responses, such as participation in macrophage polarization and interaction with other innate receptors, as well as in antigen uptake, processing, and presentation, regulating T and B cell activation. The dichotomous contribution of SR-A1 on macrophage functions is discussed. A better understanding of the role SR-A1 plays through molecular mechanisms and crosstalk with other receptors may provide insights into developing novel therapeutic strategies to modulate immune responses and immunopathologies.

Abstract
Scavenger receptor class A (SR-A) proteins are type II transmembrane glycoproteins that form homotrimers on the cell surface. This family has five known members (SCARA1 to 5, or SR-A1 to A5) that recognize a variety of ligands and are involved in multiple biological pathways. Previous reports have shown that some SR-A family members can bind modified low-density lipoproteins (LDLs); however, the mechanisms of the interactions between the SR-A members and these lipoproteins are not fully understood. Here, we systematically characterize the recognition of SR-A receptors with lipoproteins and report that SCARA1 (SR-A1, CD204), MARCO (SCARA2), and SCARA5 recognize acetylated or oxidized LDL and very-low-density lipoprotein in a Ca2+-dependent manner through their C-terminal scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains. These interactions occur specifically between the SRCR domains and the modified apolipoprotein B component of the lipoproteins, suggesting that they might share a similar mechanism for lipoprotein recognition. Meanwhile, SCARA4, a SR-A member with a carbohydrate recognition domain instead of the SRCR domain at the C terminus, shows low affinity for modified LDL and very-low-density lipoprotein but binds in a Ca2+-independent manner. SCARA3, which does not have a globular domain at the C terminus, was found to have no detectable binding with these lipoproteins. Taken together, these results provide mechanistic insights into the interactions between SR-A family members and lipoproteins that may help us understand the roles of SR-A receptors in lipid transport and related diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Aim:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver disorders associated with metabolic syndrome, and its prevalence has been on the rise. The pathogenesis of NAFLD has not yet been sufficiently elucidated due to the multifactorial nature of the disease, although the activation of macrophages/Kupffer cells is considered to be involved. We previously reported an animal model of NAFLD using Microminipigs
TM
(µMPs) fed high-fat diets containing cholesterol with or without cholic acid. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenotypic changes of macrophages that occur during the development of NAFLD.
Methods:
Immunohistochemistry of macrophages, lymphocytes, and stellate cells was performed using liver samples, and the density of positive cells was analyzed.
Results:
The number of Iba-1-positive macrophages increased with increasing cholesterol content in the diet. The numbers of CD163-positive macrophages and CD204-positive macrophages also increased with increasing cholesterol content in the diet; however, the proportion of CD204-positive macrophages among Iba-1-positive macrophages was significantly reduced by cholic acid supplementation.
Conclusion:
The results suggest that lipid accumulation induced macrophage recruitment in swine livers, and that the number of M2-like macrophages increased at the early stage of NAFLD, while the number of M1-like macrophages increased at the late stage of NAFLD, resulting in a liver condition like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. We provide evidence of the phenotypic changes that occur in macrophages during the development of NAFLD that has never been reported before using µMPs.

Abstract
Background Cystic hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage (hydatid) of Echinococcus granulosus (Cestoda, Taeniidae). The hydatid develops in the viscera of intermediate host as a unilocular structure filled by the hydatid fluid, which contains parasitic excretory/secretory products. The lipoprotein Antigen B (AgB) is the major component of E. granulosus metacestode hydatid fluid. Functionally, AgB has been implicated in immunomodulation and lipid transport. However, the mechanisms underlying AgB functions are not completely known. Methodology/Principal findings In this study, we investigated AgB interactions with different mammalian cell types and the pathways involved in its internalization. AgB uptake was observed in four different cell lines, NIH-3T3, A549, J774 and RH. Inhibition of caveolae/raft-mediated endocytosis causes about 50 and 69% decrease in AgB internalization by RH and A549 cells, respectively. Interestingly, AgB colocalized with the raft endocytic marker, but also showed a partial colocalization with the clathrin endocytic marker. Finally, AgB colocalized with an endolysosomal tracker, providing evidence for a possible AgB destination after endocytosis. Conclusions/Significance The results indicate that caveolae/raft-mediated endocytosis is the main route to AgB internalization, and that a clathrin-mediated entry may also occur at a lower frequency. A possible fate for AgB after endocytosis seems to be the endolysosomal system. Cellular internalization and further access to subcellular compartments could be a requirement for AgB functions as a lipid carrier and/or immunomodulatory molecule, contributing to create a more permissive microenvironment to metacestode development and survival. Antigen B (AgB) is an oligomeric lipoprotein highly abundant in Echinococcus granulosus hydatid fluid. AgB has already been characterized as an immunomodulatory protein, capable of inducing a permissive immune response to parasite development. Also, an important role in lipid acquisition is attributed to AgB, because it has been found associated to different classes of host lipids. However, the mechanisms of interaction employed by AgB to perform its functions remain undetermined. In this study, we demonstrate that mammalian cells are able to internalize E. granulosus AgB in culture and found that specific mechanisms of endocytosis are involved. Our results extend the understanding of AgB biological role indicating cellular internalization as a mechanism of interaction, which in turn, may represent a target to intervention.

Abstract
The pattern recognition receptor (PRR) scavenger receptor class A (SR-A) has an important function in the pathogenesis of non-infectious diseases and in innate immune responses to pathogen infections. However, little is known about the role of SR-A in the host adaptive immune responses to pathogen infection. Here we show with mouse models of helminth Schistosoma japonicum infection and heat-inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis stimulation that SR-A is regulated by pathogens and suppresses IRF5 nuclear translocation by direct interaction. Reduced abundance of nuclear IRF5 shifts macrophage polarization from M1 towards M2, which subsequently switches T-helper responses from type 1 to type 2. Our study identifies a role for SR-A as an innate PRR in regulating adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
Hepatic macrophages play crucial roles in hepatotoxicity. We investigated immunophenotypes of macrophages in liver injury induced in rats by thioacetamide (TAA; 300 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) after hepatic macrophage depletion; hepatic macrophages were depleted by liposomal clodronate (CLD; 10 ml/kg, i.v.) one day before TAA injection. Samples were obtained on post-TAA injection days 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. TAA injection induced coagulation necrosis of hepatocytes on days 1 through 3 and subsequent reparative fibrosis on days 5 and 7 in the centrilobular area, accompanied by increased numbers of M1 macrophages (expressing cluster of differentiation [CD]68 and major histocompatibility complex class II) and M2 macrophages (expressing CD163 and CD204) mainly on days 1 through 3. TAA + CLD treatment markedly decreased the numbers of M1 and M2 macrophages mainly on days 1 through 3; CD163(+) Kupffer cells were most sensitive to CLD depletion. In TAA + CLD-treated rats, interestingly, coagulation necrosis of hepatocytes was prolonged with more increased levels of hepatic enzymes (aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase) to TAA-treated rats; reparative fibrosis was incomplete and replaced by dystrophic calcification in the injured area, indicating the aggravated damage. Furthermore, in TAA + CLD-treated rats, inflammatory factors (monocyte chemoattractant protein [MCP]-1, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-10) and fibrosis-related factors (transforming growth factor-β1, matrix metalloproteinase-2, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1) were decreased at messenger RNA levels, indicating abnormal macrophage functions. It was clearly demonstrated that hepatic macrophages have important roles in tissue damage and remodeling in hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver steatosis is the most frequent liver disease and may further develop into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver cirrhosis, and finally hepatocellular carcinoma. Adipophilin (Adp) is localized on lipid droplet membrane in cytoplasm, and its increased expression is related to development of steatosis and NASH. The relationship between M1-/M2-macrophage polarization and Adp-rich hepatocyte-consisting pseudolobules (PLs) was investigated in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced rat cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHOD F344 rats were injected twice weekly with TAA (100mg/kg bodyweight) and sacrificed at post-first injection (PFI) weeks 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 32. Macrophage immunophenotypes and Adp-containing hepatocytes were analyzed by single immunolabeling. Adp and M1-/M2-related factors were analyzed by real -time RT-PCR. RESULTS PLs consisting exclusively of Adp-containing hepatocytes (Adp-positive) and PLs consisting of few Adp-containing hepatocytes (Adp-negative) were clearly distinguishable at PFI week 20 onwards. The numbers of M1-macrophages (reacting to CD68 and Iba1) and M2- macrophages (reacting to CD163, CD204 and Gal-3) were considerably greater in Adp-positive PLs. Expressions for both M1 (TNF-α, MCP-1, and Iba1)- and M2 (IL-4, TGF-β1, Gal-3, and Hsp25)-related factors were markedly higher in Adp-positive PLs at PFI week 25. Interestingly, MHC class II-positive macrophages/dendritic cells were increased in Adp-positive clusters/foci at the early stages at PFI weeks 5 and 10, and the level was gradually decreased thereafter. CONCLUSIONS M1-/M2-macrophages may simultaneously participate in the pathogenesis of steatosis in TAA-induced cirrhosis through M1- and M2-related factors. MHC class II cells may be responsible for steatosis at early stages, suggesting different functions from the above M1-/M2-macropahges.

Abstract
Oxysterols, a family of oxidation products of cholesterol, are increasingly drawing attention of scientists to their multifaceted biochemical properties, several of them of clear relevance to human pathophysiology. Taken up by cells through both vesicular and non-vesicular ways or often generated intracellularly, oxysterols contribute to modulate not only the inflammatory and immunological response but also cell viability, metabolism and function by modulating several signaling pathways. Moreover, they have been recognized as elective ligands for the most important nuclear receptors. The outcome of such a complex network of intracellular reactions promoted by these cholesterol oxidation products appears to be largely dependent not only on the type of cells, the dynamic conditions of the cellular and tissue environment but also on the concentration of the oxysterols. Here focus has been given to the cascade of molecular events exerted by relatively low concentrations of certain oxysterols that elicit survival and functional signals in the cells, with the aim to contribute to further expand the knowledge about the biological and physiological potential of the biochemical reactions triggered and modulated by oxysterols.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has an important role in atherogenesis; however, the mechanisms underlying cell-mediated LDL oxidation remain to be elucidated. The present study investigated whether native-LDL induced lipid raft formation, in order to gain further insight into LDL oxidation. Confocal microscopic analysis revealed that lipid rafts were aggregated or clustered in the membrane, which were colocalized with myeloperoxidase (MPO) upon native LDL stimulation; however, in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD), LDL-stimulated aggregation, translocation, and colocalization of lipid rafts components was abolished.. In addition, lipid raft disruptors MβCD and filipin decreased malondialdehyde expression levels. Density gradient centrifugation coupled to label-free quantitative proteomic analysis identified 1,449 individual proteins, of which 203 were significantly upregulated following native-LDL stimulation. Functional classification of the proteins identified in the lipid rafts revealed that the expression levels of translocation proteins were upregulated. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that native-LDL induced lipid raft clustering in macrophages, and the expression levels of several proteins were altered in the stimulated macrophages, which provided novel insights into the mechanism underlying LDL oxidation.

Abstract
SR-A mediated macrophage adhesion to modified ECM proteins in a process that involves physical attachment of SR-A to modified ECM and activation of Lyn-PI3K and PLA2-12/15-lipoxygenase signaling pathways. Structurally, SR-A-mediated cell adhesion requires a 6-aa membrane-proximal cytoplasmic motif. However, the mechanism that couples SR-A-mediated adhesion to activation of these distinct signaling pathways is not known. For other adhesion receptors, including integrins, localization in cholesterol-rich LRs is an important mechanism for coupling the receptor with the activation of specific signaling pathways. We hypothesized that SR-A-mediated macrophage adhesion might also involve LRs. Our results demonstrate that SR-A is enriched in LRs in HEK cells that heterologously express SR-A and in macrophages that endogenously expressed the receptor. We further show that a truncated SR-A construct (SR-A(Δ1-49)), which mediates cell adhesion but not ligand internalization, is also enriched in LRs, suggesting an association between LRs and SR-A-dependent cell adhesion. To examine this association more directly, we used the cholesterol chelator MβCD to deplete cholesterol and disrupt LR function. We found that cholesterol depletion significantly decreased SR-A-mediated macrophage adhesion. We further show that decreased SR-A-dependent macrophage adhesion following cholesterol depletion results from the inhibition of PLA2 but not PI3K activation. Overall, our results demonstrate an important role for LRs in selectively coupling SR-A with PLA2 activation during macrophage adhesion.

Abstract
Activation of macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) involves a sequential engagement of serum LPS-binding protein (LBP), plasma membrane CD14, and TLR4/MD-2 signaling complex. We analyzed participation of CD14 in TNF-α production stimulated with 1-1000 ng/mL of smooth or rough LPS (sLPS or rLPS) and in sLPS binding to RAW264 and J744 cells. CD14 was indispensable for TNF-α generation induced by a low concentration, 1 ng/mL, of sLPS and rLPS. At higher doses of both LPS forms (100-1000 ng/mL), TNF-α release required CD14 to much lower extent. Among the two forms of LPS, rLPS-induced TNF-α production was less CD14-dependent and could proceed in the absence of serum as an LBP source. On the other hand, the involvement of CD14 was crucial for the binding of 1000 ng/mL of sLPS judging from an inhibitory effect of the anti-CD14 antibody. The binding of sLPS was also strongly inhibited by dextran sulfate, a competitive ligand of scavenger receptors (SR). In the presence of dextran sulfate, sLPS-induced production of TNF-α was upregulated about 1.6-fold. The data indicate that CD14 together with SR participates in the binding of high doses of sLPS. However, CD14 contribution to TNF α production induced by high concentrations of sLPS and rLPS can be limited.

Liposomal cholesterol delivery activates the macrophage innate immune arm to facilitate intracellular Leishmania donovani killing. Infect Immun 2013; 82:607-17.

Abstract
Leishmania donovani causes visceral leishmaniasis (VL) by infecting the monocyte/macrophage lineage and residing inside specialized structures known as parasitophorous vacuoles. The protozoan parasite has adopted several means of escaping the host immune response, with one of the major methods being deactivation of host macrophages. Previous reports highlight dampened macrophage signaling, defective antigen presentation due to increased membrane fluidity, and the downregulation of several genes associated with L. donovani infection. We have reported previously that the defective antigen presentation in infected hamsters could be corrected by a single injection of a cholesterol-containing liposome. Here we show that cholesterol in the form of a liposomal formulation can stimulate the innate immune arm and reactivate macrophage function. Augmented levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), along with proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), corroborate intracellular parasite killing. Cholesterol incorporation kinetics is favored in infected macrophages more than in normal macrophages. Such an enhanced cholesterol uptake is associated with preferential apoptosis of infected macrophages in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-dependent manner. All these events are coupled with mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation, while inhibition of such pathways resulted in increased parasite loads. Hence, liposomal cholesterol is a potential facilitator of the macrophage effector function in favor of the host, independently of the T-cell arm.

Abstract
Macrophage interaction with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) leads to its differentiation into foam cells and cytokine production, contributing to atherosclerosis development. In a previous study, we showed that CD36 and the receptor for platelet-activating factor (PAFR) are required for oxLDL to activate gene transcription for cytokines and CD36. Here, we investigated the localization and physical interaction of CD36 and PAFR in macrophages stimulated with oxLDL. We found that blocking CD36 or PAFR decreases oxLDL uptake and IL-10 production. OxLDL induces IL-10 mRNA expression only in HEK293T expressing both receptors (PAFR and CD36). OxLDL does not induce IL-12 production. The lipid rafts disruption by treatment with βCD reduces the oxLDL uptake and IL-10 production. OxLDL induces co-immunoprecipitation of PAFR and CD36 with the constitutive raft protein flotillin-1, and colocalization with the lipid raft-marker GM1-ganglioside. Finally, we found colocalization of PAFR and CD36 in macrophages from human atherosclerotic plaques. Our results show that oxLDL induces the recruitment of PAFR and CD36 into the same lipid rafts, which is important for oxLDL uptake and IL-10 production. This study provided new insights into how oxLDL interact with macrophages and contributing to atherosclerosis development.

Abstract
PEGylation has been applied as an effective strategy of surface functionalization to improve the stability and reduce non-specific binding of quantum dots (QDs). However, its effects on the proinflammatory properties of QDs and the underlying mechanism have not been well elucidated yet. Herein, the proinflammatory effects of PEGylated CdSe/ZnS QDs with an amphiphilic polymer coating (PEG-pQDs) were investigated in human pulmonary epithelial cells and macrophages by evaluating the cytokine/chemokine production. The results showed that the proinflammatory effects of PEG-pQDs were strongly associated with the functional groups (-COOH, -NH2, -OH, and -OCH3) at the end of PEG chain. COOH-PEG-pQDs demonstrated the most proinflammatory effects followed by NH2-PEG-pQDs and HO-PEG-pQDs with CH3O-PEG-pQDs exhibiting the least proinflammatory effects. The proinflammatory effects of PEG-pQDs relied on lipid raft- and class A scavenger receptor (SRA)-dependent endocytic pathways as well as the downstream NF-κB and MAPK signaling cascades. COOH-PEG-pQDs were selectively internalized by lipid raft- and SRA-mediated endocytosis, which consequently activated NF-κB signaling pathway. On the other hand, NH2-PEG-pQDs and HO-PEG-pQDs were mostly internalized via lipid raft-mediated endocytosis, thereby activating p38 MAPK/AP-1 signaling cascades. These data revealed a critical role of terminal functional group-associated endocytic pathways in the proinflammatory responses induced by PEGylated QDs in human pulmonary epithelial cells and macrophages.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a primary defense program orchestrated by monocytes/macrophages. Unregulated phagocytosis can lead to pathological conditions. In the current study we have demonstrated that Wnt5a stimulates phagocytosis through PI3 kinase-Rac1 and lipid-raft-dependent processes. Wnt5a-mediated augmentation in phagocytosis is suppressed by blocking expression of the putative Wnt5a receptor Frizzled 5. Enhanced phagocytosis of bacteria by Wnt5a-Fz5 signaling increases the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, but not the bacterial killing rate. Furthermore, a small molecule inhibitor of Wnt production, IWP-2, which reduces secretion of functionally active Wnt5a, not only suppresses both phagocytosis and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines but also accelerates the bacterial killing rate.

Abstract
Annexins are physiologically important proteins that play a role in calcium buffering but also influence membrane structure, participate in Ca²⁺-dependent membrane repair events and in remodelling of the cytoskeleton. Thirty years ago several peptides isolated from lung perfusates, peritoneal leukocytes, neutrophiles and renal cells were proven inhibitory to the activity of phospholipase A₂. Those peptides were found to derive from structurally related proteins: annexins AnxA1 and AnxA2. These findings raised the question whether annexins may participate in regulation of the production of lipid second messengers and, therefore, modulate numerous lipid mediated signaling pathways in the cell. Recent advances in the field of annexins made also with the use of knock-out animal models revealed that these proteins are indeed important constituents of specific signaling pathways. In this review we provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that annexins, as membrane-binding proteins and organizers of the membrane lateral heterogeneity, may participate in lipid mediated signaling pathways by affecting the distribution and activity of lipid metabolizing enzymes (most of the reports point to phospholipase A₂) and of protein kinases regulating activity of these enzymes. Moreover, some experimental data suggest that annexins may directly interact with lipid metabolizing enzymes and, in a calcium-dependent or independent manner, with some of their substrates and products. On the basis of these observations, many investigators suggest that annexins are capable of linking Ca²⁺, redox and lipid signaling to coordinate vital cellular responses to the environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LOX-1), the primary receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in endothelial cells, is up-regulated in atherosclerotic lesions. Statins are the principal therapeutic agents for cardiovascular diseases and are known to down-regulate LOX-1 expression. Whether the effect on the LOX-1 receptor is related to statin-mediated cholesterol-lowering activity is unknown. We investigate the requirement of cholesterol for LOX-1-mediated lipid particle internalization, trafficking, and processing and the role of statins as inhibitors of LOX-1 function. Disruption of cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains by acute exposure of cells to methyl-β-cyclodextrin or chronic exposure to different statins (lovastatin and atorvastatin) led to a spatial disorganization of LOX-1 in plasma membranes and a marked loss of specific LOX-1 function in terms of ox-LDL binding and internalization. Subcellular fractionation and immunochemical studies indicate that LOX-1 is naturally present in caveolae-enriched lipid rafts and, by cholesterol reduction, the amount of LOX-1 in this fraction is highly decreased (≥60%). In contrast, isoprenylation inhibition had no effect on the distribution and function of LOX-1 receptors. Furthermore, in primary cultures from atherosclerotic human aorta lesions, we confirm the presence of LOX-1 in caveolae-enriched lipid rafts and demonstrate that lovastatin treatment led to down-regulation of LOX-1 in lipid rafts and rescue of the ox-LDL-induced apoptotic phenotype. Taken together, our data reveal a previously unrecognized essential role of membrane cholesterol for LOX-1 receptor activity and suggest that statins protect vascular endothelium against the adverse effect of ox-LDL by disruption of membrane rafts and impairment of LOX-1 receptor function.

Abstract
Background Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) uptake by macrophages plays an important role in foam cell formation. It has been suggested the presence of heterogeneous subsets of macrophage, such as M1 and M2, in human atherosclerotic lesions. To evaluate which types of macrophages contribute to atherogenesis, we performed cDNA microarray analysis to determine oxLDL-induced transcriptional alterations of each subset of macrophages. Results Human monocyte-derived macrophages were polarized toward the M1 or M2 subset, followed by treatment with oxLDL. Then gene expression levels during oxLDL treatment in each subset of macrophages were evaluated by cDNA microarray analysis and quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In terms of high-ranking upregulated genes and functional ontologies, the alterations during oxLDL treatment in M2 macrophages were similar to those in nonpolarized macrophages (M0). Molecular network analysis showed that most of the molecules in the oxLDL-induced highest scoring molecular network of M1 macrophages were directly or indirectly related to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed commonly upregulated genes in all subset of macrophages, some of which contained antioxidant response elements (ARE) in their promoter regions. A cluster of genes that were specifically upregulated in M1 macrophages included those encoding molecules related to nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR showed that the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-8 after oxLDL treatment in M2 macrophages was markedly lower than those in M0 and M1 cells. HMOX1 gene expression levels were almost the same in all 3 subsets of macrophages even after oxLDL treatment. Conclusions The present study demonstrated transcriptional alterations in polarized macrophages during oxLDL treatment. The data suggested that oxLDL uptake may affect TGF-β1- and NF-κB-mediated functions of M1 macrophages, but not those of M0 or M2 macrophages. It is likely that M1 macrophages characteristically respond to oxLDL.
