MRP-8 (S100A8) and MRP-14 (S100A9) are members of the S100-family of calcium-modulated proteins that regulate myeloid cell function and control inflammation, in part, through activation of toll-like receptor-4 and RAGE. A transcriptional profiling approach in patients with acute coronary syndromes identified MRP-14 as a novel predictor of myocardial infarction. Further studies demonstrated that elevated plasma levels of MRP-8/14 heterodimer predict increased risk of first and recurrent cardiovascular events. Beyond its serving as a risk marker, whether MRP-8/14 participates directly in arterial inflammation and disease remains unclear. We evaluated vascular inflammation in wild-type (WT) and MRP-14-deficient (MRP-14−/−) mice that lack MRP-8/14 complexes with experimental arterial injury, vasculitis, or atherosclerosis. After femoral artery wire injury, MRP-14−/− mice had significant reductions in leukocyte accumulation, cellular proliferation, and neointima formation compared to WT mice. In a cytokine-induced local Schwartzman-like reaction that produces thrombohemorrhagic vasculitis, MRP-14−/− mice had significant reductions in neutrophils accumulation, lesion severity and hemorrhagic area. In response to high-fat feeding, mice doubly deficient in ApoE and MRP-8/14 complexes had attenuation in atherosclerotic lesion area and in macrophage accumulation in plaques compared to mice deficient in ApoE alone. This study demonstrates that MRP-8/14 broadly regulates vascular inflammation and contributes to the biological response to vascular injury by promoting leukocyte recruitment.
