Abstract

HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma levels are inversely related to cardiovascular disease risk. Previous studies have shown in animals and humans that HDL promotes regression of atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that this was related to an ability to promote the loss of monocyte-derived cells (CD68 + , primarily macrophages and macrophage foam cells) from plaques. To test this hypothesis, we used an established model of atherosclerosis regression in which plaque-bearing aortic arches from apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE −/− ) mice (low HDL-C, high non–HDL-C) were transplanted into recipient mice with differing levels of HDL-C and non–HDL-C: C57BL6 mice (normal HDL-C, low non–HDL-C), apoAI −/− mice (low HDL-C, low non–HDL-C), or apoE −/− mice transgenic for human apoAI (hAI/apoE −/− ; normal HDL-C, high non–HDL-C). Remarkably, despite persistent elevated non–HDL-C in hAI/apoE −/− recipients, plaque CD68 + cell content decreased by >50% by 1 wk after transplantation, whereas there was little change in apoAI −/− recipient mice despite hypolipidemia. The decreased content of plaque CD68 + cells after HDL-C normalization was associated with their emigration and induction of their chemokine receptor CCR7. Furthermore, in CD68 + cells laser-captured from the plaques, normalization of HDL-C led to decreased expression of inflammatory factors and enrichment of markers of the M2 (tissue repair) macrophage state. Again, none of these beneficial changes were observed in the apoAI −/− recipients, suggesting a major requirement for reverse cholesterol transport for the beneficial effects of HDL. Overall, these results establish HDL as a regulator in vivo of the migratory and inflammatory properties of monocyte-derived cells in mouse atherosclerotic plaques, and highlight the phenotypic plasticity of these cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
