    Abstract:
    The attraction, binding, and entry of monocytes into the vessel wall play an important role in atherogenesis. We have previously shown that minimally oxidized/modified LDL (MM-LDL), a pathogenically relevant lipoprotein, can activate human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to produce monocyte chemotactic activators. In the present study, we demonstrate that MM-LDL and oxidation products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAPC) activate endothelial cells to synthesize monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). Several lines of evidence suggest that this activation is mediated by the lipid-dependent transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), the most abundant member of the PPAR family in HAECs. Treatment of transfected CV-1 cells demonstrated activation of the PPARalpha ligand-binding domain by MM-LDL, Ox-PAPC, or its component phospholipids, 1-palmitoyl-2-oxovalaroyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine and 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine; these lipids also activated a consensus peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor response element (PPRE) in transfected HAECs. Furthermore, activation of PPARalpha with synthetic ligand Wy14,643 stimulates the synthesis of IL-8 and MCP-1 by HAECs. By contrast, troglitazone, a PPARgamma agonist, decreased the levels of IL-8 and MCP-1. Finally, we demonstrate that unlike wild-type endothelial cells, endothelial cells derived from PPARalpha null mice do not produce MCP-1/JE in response to Ox-PAPC and MM-LDL. Together, these data demonstrate a proinflammatory role for PPARalpha in mediation of the activation of endothelial cells to produce monocyte chemotactic activity in response to oxidized phospholipids and lipoproteins.
