ObjectiveThe present study investigates the role of paraoxonase 2 (PON2) in the attenuation of macrophage triglycerides (TG) biosynthesis, and oxidative stress, under diabetic conditions.MethodsPeritoneal macrophages (MPM) from PON2-deficient and from C57BL/6 control mice were harvested and cultured under normal (5Â mM) or high glucose concentration (30Â mM), and evaluated for cellular TG metabolism as well as for their oxidative stress.ResultsIn PON2-deficient MPM vs. control MPM, under diabetic conditions (high glucose concentration), we observed substantial increment in TG accumulation (3 fold), TG biosynthesis (2.6 fold) and microsomal diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (DGAT1) activity (+60%). Furthermore, in these cells we have demonstrated increased oxidative stress, as expressed by significant increment in cellular oxidative stress (+25%), macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation (+41%) and expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products - RAGE (+18%). Apocynin, an NADPH-oxidase inhibitor, abolished the increment in MPM TG accumulation, MPM TG biosynthesis, and microsomal DGAT1 activity, as a result of PON2-deficiency, under diabetic conditions.ConclusionWe conclude that PON2 has a significant protective role against macrophage triglyceride accumulation, macrophage TG biosynthesis, microsomal DGAT1 activity and macrophage oxidative stress, under high glucose concentrations. We suggest that this protective effect may be mediated by PON2 through the attenuation of NADPH-oxidase activity. The use of appropriate means to increase macrophage PON2 expression can lead to attenuation in macrophage TG accumulation and in cellular oxidative stress, under diabetic conditions, and thus may contribute to the decrement in macrophage atherogenicity and foam cell formation, attenuating the development of vascular complications in diabetes mellitus.
