Macrophage Sortilin Promotes LDL Uptake, Foam Cell Formation, and Atherosclerosis
Open accessAbstract
Rationale: Noncoding gene variants at the SORT1 locus are strongly associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, as well as with coronary artery disease. SORT1 encodes a protein called sortilin, and hepatic sortilin modulates LDL metabolism by targeting apolipoprotein B–containing lipoproteins to the lysosome. Sortilin is also expressed in macrophages, but its role in macrophage uptake of LDL and in atherosclerosis independent of plasma LDL-C levels is unknown. Objective: To determine the effect of macrophage sortilin expression on LDL uptake, foam cell formation, and atherosclerosis. Methods and Results: We crossed Sort1 −/− mice onto a humanized Apobec1 −/− ; hAPOB transgenic background and determined that Sort1 deficiency on this background had no effect on plasma LDL-C levels but dramatically reduced atherosclerosis in the aorta and aortic root. To test whether this effect was a result of macrophage sortilin deficiency, we transplanted Sort1 −/− ;LDLR −/− or Sort1 +/+ ;LDLR −/− bone marrow into Ldlr −/− mice and observed a similar reduction in atherosclerosis in mice lacking hematopoetic sortilin without an effect on plasma LDL-C levels. In an effort to determine the mechanism by which hematopoetic sortilin deficiency reduced atherosclerosis, we found no effect of sortilin deficiency on macrophage recruitment or lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine release in vivo. In contrast, sortilin-deficient macrophages had significantly reduced uptake of native LDL ex vivo and reduced foam cell formation in vivo, whereas sortilin overexpression in macrophages resulted in increased LDL uptake and foam cell formation. Conclusions: Macrophage sortilin deficiency protects against atherosclerosis by reducing macrophage uptake of LDL. Sortilin-mediated uptake of native LDL into macrophages may be an important mechanism of foam cell formation and contributor to atherosclerosis development.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Macrophage sortilin promotes native LDL uptake, foam cell formation, and atherosclerosis in mouse models, independent of plasma LDL-C levels. Sort1 deficiency in hematopoietic cells reduces atherosclerosis, whereas sortilin overexpression increases macrophage LDL uptake.
Key findings
- Total-body Sort1 deficiency on the Apobec1−/−; hAPOB Tg background did not change plasma LDL-C but reduced atherosclerosis: 68% reduction in en face aorta lesion area (P<0.0001) and 87% reduction in aortic root lesion area (P<0.0001).
- Hematopoietic Sort1 deficiency after bone marrow transplantation into Ldlr−/− mice also reduced atherosclerosis without affecting plasma LDL-C: 69% reduction in en face aortic lesion area (P<0.00001) and 34% reduction in aortic root lesion area (P<0.01).
- Sortilin-deficient macrophages had reduced foam cell formation: 28% lower total cellular cholesterol, 25% lower free cholesterol, and 32% lower cholesteryl ester (P<0.05); in vivo foam cells showed a 33% reduction in cellular cholesterol (P<0.05).
- Sortilin deficiency reduced 125I-LDL uptake by 48% in thioglycollate-elicited macrophages and 33% in bone marrow-derived macrophages (P<0.05 for both), by 39% in the absence of LDLR (P<0.05), and by 38% with cytochalasin D (P<0.05); Sort1 overexpression in J774 macrophages increased LDL uptake by 29% (P<0.05). No effect was found on thioglycollate-elicited monocyte recruitment or LPS-induced cytokine release in vivo.
Methods
- Atherosclerosis studies used Sort1−/− mice crossed onto the Apobec1−/−; hAPOB Tg background, fed a western-type diet for 18 weeks, with lesion area assessed en face and in aortic roots.
- Bone marrow from Sort1−/−;LDLR−/− or Sort1+/+;LDLR−/− donors was transplanted into irradiated Ldlr−/− recipients; after 6 weeks, mice received western diet for 18 weeks before atherosclerosis assessment.
- Macrophage studies used thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages and bone marrow-derived macrophages, with 125I-LDL uptake/degradation, Oil Red O staining, cholesterol measurements, and lentiviral Sort1 overexpression in J774 cells; statistics used 2-tailed paired Student’s t test and 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for the LPS experiment.
Limitations
- The paper does not include a formal limitations section. It states that the mechanisms of LDL-induced macrophage Sort1 upregulation require further exploration.
- Evident from the text: all causal data are from mouse atherosclerosis models and ex vivo mouse macrophages; bone marrow transplantation implicates hematopoietic cells but does not isolate macrophages from other hematopoietic cell types.
- Evident from the text: no human interventional or macrophage-specific in vivo data are presented, and the authors note mechanistic differences from another study using a different mouse model and LDL-labeling approach.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
