Myeloid cells regulate plasma LDL-cholesterol levels

Abstract: Enhanced hematopoiesis and monocytosis may accelerate atherogenesis. Studies on these processes may lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases.

“…The latter would be similar to mouse models with hematopoietic or myeloid Abca1/Abcg1 deficiency or patients with myeloproliferative diseases that are also characterized by a decrease in VLDL/LDL-cholesterol, accompanied by HSPC mobilization and splenomegaly. It has been proposed that the VLDL/LDLcholesterol uptake by hematopoietic cells drives HSPC proliferation in the spleen, as we recently reviewed (55).…”

“…Furthermore, the spleen participates in the modulation of lipid metabolism and plasma lipids content, mechanisms relevant to the onset of atherosclerotic complications and cardiovascular diseases [ 10 , 17 20 ]. Elevated plasma LDL-cholesterol levels have been observed both in humans and animal models after splenectomy, suggesting a preeminent role for the spleen in LDL catabolism [ 21 23 ].…”

“…This is because the spleen harbors numerous highly differentiated anatomical structures and cells that allow specific functions due to its direct connection to systemic circulation and further links with the nervous and immune systems (6). Anatomically, the spleen architecture includes heterogeneous populations of stromal, immune and endothelial cells, organized in domains with specific microcirculation (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). In addition, some particular immune functions have been ascribed to this versatile organ, such as removal of non-opsonized bacteria, blood cells clearance and sensing the presence of circulating pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS).…”

“…Moreover, leukocyte lineages derived from hematopoietic cells, mainly neutrophils releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and macrophages, cells that in turn express NOD molecules, exert key roles in the mobilization of hematopoietic cells under pro-inflammatory conditions. In addition to these immune functions, the spleen participates in the modulation of lipid metabolism and plasma lipids content, mechanisms relevant in the onset of atherosclerotic complications and cardiovascular diseases (10,(15)(16)(17)(18). In fact, elevated plasma LDL-cholesterol levels have been observed both in humans and animal models after splenectomy, suggesting a preeminent role for the spleen in LDL catabolism (19)(20)(21).…”
