Alterations in extracellular matrix quantity and composition contribute to atherosclerosis, with remodeling of the subendothelial basement membrane to a fibronectin-rich matrix preceding lesion development. Endothelial cell interactions with fibronectin prime inflammatory responses to a variety of atherogenic stimuli; however, the mechanisms regulating early atherogenic fibronectin accumulation remain unknown. We previously demonstrated that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) promotes endothelial pro inflammatory gene expression by activating the integrin α5β1, a classic mediator of fibronectin fibrillogenesis. We now show that oxLDL drives robust endothelial fibronectin deposition and inhibiting α5β1 (blocking antibodies, α5 knockout cells) completely inhibits oxLDL-induced fibronectin deposition. Consistent with this, inducible endothelial-specific α5 integrin deletion in ApoE knockout mice significantly reduces atherosclerotic plaque formation, associated with reduced early atherogenic inflammation. Unlike TGFβ-induced fibronectin deposition, oxLDL does not induce fibronectin expression (mRNA, protein) or the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition phenotype. In addition, we show that cell-derived and plasma-derived fibronectin differentially affect endothelial function, with only cell-derived fibronectin capable of supporting oxLDL-induced VCAM-1 expression despite plasma fibronectin deposition by oxLDL. The inclusion of EIIIA and EIIIB domains in cell-derived fibronectin mediates this effect, as EIIIA/EIIIB knockout endothelial cells show diminished oxLDL-induced inflammation. Furthermore, our data suggests that EIIIA/EIIIB-positive cellular fibronectin is required for maximal α5β1 recruitment to focal adhesions and fibronectin fibrillogenesis. Taken together, our data demonstrate that endothelial α5 integrins drives oxLDL-induced fibronectin deposition and early atherogenic inflammation. Additionally, we show that α5β1-dependent endothelial fibronectin deposition mediates oxLDL-dependent endothelial inflammation and fibronectin fibrillogenesis.
