Accumulating evidence indicates that secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) enzymes promote atherogenic processes. We have previously showed the presence of Group V sPLA(2) (GV sPLA(2)) in human and mouse atherosclerotic lesions, its hydrolysis of low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, and the ability of GV sPLA(2)-modified LDL (GV- LDL) to induce macrophage foam cell formation in vitro. The goal of this study was to investigate the mechanisms involved in macrophage uptake of GV-LDL. Peritoneal macrophages from C57BL/6 mice (wild type (WT)), C57BL/6 mice deficient in LDL receptor (LDLR-/-), or SR-A and CD36 (DKO) were treated with control LDL, GV-LDL, oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) or LDL aggregated by vortexing (vx-LDL). As expected, ox- LDL induced significantly more cholesterol ester accumulation in WT and LDLR-/- compared with DKO macrophages. In contrast, there was no difference in the accumulation of GV-LDL or vx-LDL in the three cell types. I-125-ox-LDL exhibited high affinity, saturable binding to WT cells that was significantly reduced in DKO cells. Vx-LDL and GV-LDL showed low affinity, non-saturable binding that was similar for both cell types, and significantly higher compared with control LDL. GV-LDL degradation in WT and DKO cells was similar. Analyses by confocal microscopy indicated a distinct intracellular distribution of Alexa-568-labeled GV-LDL and Alexa-488-labeled ox-LDL. Uptake of GV-LDL (but not ox-LDL or vx-LDL) was significantly reduced in cells preincubated with heparin or NaClO3, suggesting a role for proteoglycans in GV-LDL uptake. Our data point to a physiological modification of LDL that has the potential to promote macrophage foam cell formation independent of scavenger receptors.
