Overexpression of stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 in macrophages promotes reverse cholesterol transport
چکیده انگلیسی


• Macrophage SCD1 overexpression promoted cholesterol efflux to HDL, but not to apoA-I.
• SCD1 did not affect ABCA1/G1 or SR-BI expression.
• SCD1 transformed HDL in media to larger particle with enhanced efflux capacity.
• SCD1-expressing macrophages enhanced in vivo reverse cholesterol transport in mice.

Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids. However, the impact of SCD1 on atherosclerosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether SCD1 affects macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in mice. Compared to the control, adenoviral-mediated SCD1 overexpression in RAW264.7 macrophages increased cholesterol efflux to HDL, but not to apoA-I, without clear changes in ABCA1, ABCG1 and SR-BI expressions. While knockdown of ABCG1 and SR-BI did not affect the SCD1-induced cholesterol efflux to HDL, SCD1-overexpressing macrophages promoted the formation of both normal- and large-sized HDL in media, accompanying increased apolipoprotein A-I levels in HDL fractions. Transformation to larger particles of HDL was independently confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance-based lipoprotein analysis. Interestingly, media transfer assays revealed that HDL generated by SCD1 had enhanced cholesterol efflux potential, indicating that SCD1 transformed HDL to a more anti-atherogenic phenotype. To study macrophage RCT in vivo, 3H-cholesterol-labeled RAW264.7 cells overexpressing SCD1 or the control were intraperitoneally injected into mice. Supporting the in vitro data, injection of SCD1-macrophages resulted in significant increases in 3H-tracer in plasma, liver, and feces compared to the control. Moreover, there was a shift towards larger particles in the 3H-tracer distribution of HDL fractions obtained from the mice.In conclusion, macrophage-specific SCD1 overexpression promotes overall RCT through increased cholesterol efflux to HDL, suggesting that macrophage SCD1 achieves an anti-atherogenic effect by enhancing RCT.
