Previously, we reported that fluid-phase endocytosis of native LDL by PMA-activated human monocyte-derived macrophages converted these macrophages into cholesterol-enriched foam cells (Kruth, H. S., Huang, W., Ishii, I., and Zhang, W. Y. ( 2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 34573 - 34580). Uptake of fluid by cells can occur either by micropinocytosis within vesicles ( 40-fold over its concentration in the culture medium consistent with macropinosome shrinkage by maturation into multivesicular body endosomes. Macropinocytosis of LDL taken up in the fluid phase without receptor-mediated binding of LDL is a novel endocytic pathway that generates macrophage foam cells. Macropinocytosis in macrophages and possibly other vascular cells is a new pathway to target for modulating foam cell formation in atherosclerosis.
