Molecular mechanism of cholesterol sensor SCAP dysfunction in atheroma formation in ApoE-/- mice induced by inflammation
Objective To investigate the mechanism of the dysfunction of sterol regulatory element binding proteins cleavage-activating protein (SCAP)
induced by inflammation in the promotion of atheroma formation in ApoE
-/-
mice. Methods A total of 24 male ApoE
-/-
mice (C57BL/6 background
8 weeks old
weighting 18 to 24 g) were randomly divided into 2 groups
that is
high-sterol feeding group (H) and feeding+inflammation group (HC). Beside high fat diet feeding
the mice in the inflammation group were injected with 10% casein subcutaneously every other day
while those of control group were subjected to normal saline. After 14 weeks’ treatment
the serum inflammatory markers
serum amyloid A (SAA) and TNF-α were determined by ELISA
the lipid accumulation in the aorta was observed by HE and Oil Red O staining
the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr)
SCAP
α-mannosidases Ⅰ and Ⅱ were examined using real-time PCR and immunohistochemical assay. Results The level of SAA and TNF-α were dramatically higher in the serum of ApoE
-/-
mice receiving subcutaneous injection of 10% casein (inflammation group) than control group (529±23 vs 248±27 ng/mL
37 900±3 100 vs 1 789±219 ng/mL
P0.01)
which indicated that the inflamed mice model was established successfully. The inflamed mice displayed more severe atheroma (P0.01)
and increased expression of LDLr
SCAP and α-mannosidaseⅡ at the mRNA (P0.05) and protein levels (P0.05) in the aorta
especially the active fragment NSREBP2 in the nucleus (P0.05) when compared with the mice in control group. Conclusion Inflammation enhances the expression of SCAP
and promotes SCAP glycosylation by up-regulating the expression of α-mannosidase Ⅱ in the aorta
