Oxidative stress caused by phorbol esters or
reactive oxygen up-regulates the class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) in
human smooth muscle cells (SMC), which normally do not express this
receptor. The increase in SR-A expression correlates with activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factors activating protein-1 c-Jun
and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein . Here we show that coincubation
of SMC with macrophages or oxidized low density lipoproteins (LDL) from
macrophage-conditioned medium activates these same regulatory pathways
and stimulates SR-A expression. The increased SR-A gene transcription
induced by cell-oxidized LDL up-regulated SR-A mRNA and increased
by 30-fold the uptake of acetyl LDL, a ligand for the SR-A.
Copper-oxidized LDL also increased SR-A receptor expression. Oxidized
LDL with a lipid peroxide level of 80-100 nmol/mg of LDL protein and
an electrophoretic mobility ~1.5 times that of native LDL exhibited
the greatest bioactivity. Inhibition of calcium flux suppressed SR-A
induction by oxidized LDL. Conversely, calcium ionophore greatly
enhanced SR-A up-regulation by oxidized LDL or other treatments that
promote intracellular oxidative stress. This enhancement was dependent
upon concurrent up-regulation of SMC cyclooxygenase-2 expression and
activity and was blocked by the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors NS-398 and
Resveratrol. In THP-1 cells, oxidized LDL induced
monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and increased SR-A expression.
These findings support a role for mildly oxidized LDL in the redox
regulation of macrophage differentiation and SR-A expression and
suggest that increased vascular oxidative stress may contribute to the
formation of both SMC and macrophage foam cells.
