Atherosclerotic plaques are fatty growths in artery walls that cause heart attacks and strokes. Plaque formation is orchestrated by macrophages that are recruited to the artery wall to consume and remove blood-derived lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Ineffective lipid removal, due to macrophage death and other factors, leads to the accumulation of lipid-loaded macrophages and formation of a necrotic core. Experimental observations suggest that macrophage functionality varies with the extent of lipid loading. However, little is known about the resultant influence on plaque fate. Extending work by Ford et al. (2019a) and Chambers et al. ( 2022), we develop a plaque model in which macrophages are classified by their ingested lipid content and behave in a lipid-dependent manner. The model, a system of partial-integro differential equations, considers several macrophage behaviours. These include: recruitment to the artery wall; proliferation and apotosis; ingestion of LDL, apoptotic cells and necrotic lipid; emigration from the artery wall; and necrosis of apoptotic cells. Here, we consider apoptosis, emigration and proliferation to be lipid-dependent. We model lipid-dependence in these behaviours with experimentally-informed functions of the internalised lipid load. Our results demonstrate that lipiddependent macrophage behaviour can substantially alter plaque fate by changing both the total quantity of lipid in the plaque and the distribution of lipid between the live cells, dead cells and necrotic core. For lipid-dependent apoptosis and lipid-dependent emigration simulations, we find significant differences in outcomes for cases that ultimately converge on the same net rate of apoptosis or emigration.
