Myeloid-derived growth factor inhibits inflammation and alleviates endothelial injury and atherosclerosis in mice.

ABSTRACT: Whether bone marrow modulates systemic metabolism remains unknown. Here, we found that (i) myeloid cell-specific myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) deficiency exacerbated vascular inflammation, adhesion responses, endothelial injury, and atherosclerosis in vivo. (ii) Myeloid cell-specific MYDGF restoration attenuated vascular inflammation, adhesion responses and leukocyte homing and alleviated endothelial injury and atherosclerosis in vivo. (iii) MYDGF attenuated endothelial inflammation, apoptosis, permeability, and adhesion responses induced by palmitic acid in vitro. (iv) MYDGF alleviated endothelial injury and atherosclerosis through mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4)/nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling. Therefore, we concluded that MYDGF inhibits endothelial inflammation and adhesion responses, blunts leukocyte homing, protects against endothelial injury and atherosclerosis in a manner involving MAP4K4/NF-κB signaling, and serves as a cross-talk factor between bone marrow and arteries to regulate the pathophysiology of arteries. Bone marrow functions as an endocrine organ and serves as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders.

Project description:Dysfunction of macroautophagy/autophagy in macrophages contributes to atherosclerosis. Impaired autophagy-lysosomal degradation system leads to lipid accumulation, facilitating atherosclerotic plaque. ATG14 is an essential regulator for the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. Whether ATG14 plays a role in macrophage autophagy dysfunction in atherosclerosis is unknown. To investigate the effects of ATG14 on macrophage autophagy, human atherosclerotic plaque, apoe-/- mice and cultured mouse macrophages were evaluated. Overexpression of ATG14 by adenovirus was used to reveal its function in autophagy, inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Results showed that impaired autophagy function with reduction of ATG14 expression existed in macrophages of human and mouse atherosclerotic plaques. Ox-LDL impaired autophagosome-lysosome fusion with reduction of ATG14 expression in macrophages. Overexpression of ATG14 in macrophages enhanced fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes and promoted lipid degradation, decreasing Ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and inflammatory response. Augmenting ATG14 expression reversed the autophagy dysfunction in macrophages of apoe-/- mice plaque, blunted SQSTM1/p62 accumulation, inhibited inflammation, and upregulated the population of Treg cells, resulting in alleviating atherosclerotic lesions.Abbreviations: ABCC1: ATP-binding cassette, sub-family C (CFTR/MRP), member 1; ABCA1: ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 1; Ad-Atg14: adenovirus vector carrying the mouse Atg14 gene; Ad-LacZ: adenovirus vector carrying the gene for bacterial β-galactosidase; apoe-/-: apolipoprotein E knockout; ATG14: autophagy-related 14; CD68: CD68 antigen; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; Dil-ox-LDL: Dil-oxidized low density lipoprotein; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; HFD: high-fat diet (an atherogenic diet); IL: interleukin; LAMP2: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2; LDL-C: low density lipoprotrein cholesterol; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; ND: normal diet; Ox-LDL: oxidized low density lipoprotein; PBMC: peripheral blood mononuclear cells; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; SREBF1/SREBP1c: sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1; SREBF2/SREBP2: sterol regulatory element binding factor 2; STX17: syntaxin 17; TC: serum total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; IFN: interferon; Treg cell: regulatory T cell.
