Abstract

Recognition of the exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer surface of plasma membrane has been implicated in the phagocytosis of aged/apoptotic cells. Because oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) has been reported to block the phagocytosis, here we examined whether lectin-like OxLDL receptor 1 (LOX-1), the OxLDL receptor in endothelial cells, mediates phagocytosis of aged/apoptotic cells by endothelial cells. Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing bovine LOX-1 (BLOX-1-CHO), but not wild-type CHO-K1 cells, bound aged red blood cells (RBC) and apoptotic cells, which were further phagocytosed. The binding of aged RBC and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells were inhibited by OxLDL, acetyl LDL, and other LOX-1 ligands in both BAE and BLOX-1-CHO. mAb against LOX-1 blocked the binding of aged RBC to BAE, suggesting a role for LOX-1 in the recognition of aged cells. The recombinant soluble LOX-1 inhibited the interactions of aged/apoptotic cells with both BLOX-1-CHO and BAE and distinguished aged RBC from native RBC and apoptotic cells from native cells. PS liposome inhibited these LOX-1-mediated interactions with aged/apoptotic cells, suggesting LOX-1 recognizes PS of the apoptotic cells. PS exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells is known to be procoagulant. Accordingly, increased OxLDL may be one of the reasons for enhanced coagulation in atherosclerosis, inhibiting the removal of apoptotic 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.
