Role of Bone Marrow–Derived CC-Chemokine Receptor 5 in the Development of Atherosclerosis of Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Knockout Mice

Abstract: Objective-CC chemokine receptor CCR5 is expressed by atheroma-associated cells and could mediate leukocyte attraction into developing lesions. We examined the role of bone marrow-derived CCR5 in the development of atherosclerotic lesions after 8, 12, or 35 weeks of high-fat diet. Methods and Results-Low-density lipoprotein-receptor (LDLr)-deficient mice were lethally irradiated and transplanted with CCR5 ϩ/ϩ or CCR5 Ϫ/Ϫ bone marrow. After 8 weeks of fat diet, CCR5 deficiency in leukocytes led to 30% decrease o… Show more

“…18,20,22 Considering that most T helper lymphocytes present within atherosclerotic lesions are of the Th1 subpopulation and can secrete proinflammatory cytokines, 2 we hypothesized that Ccr5 deletion would reverse the proinflammatory dysbalance by shifting the content of immune and particular T cell subtypes within atherosclerotic plaques. Indeed, mice bearing the deficiency in Ccr5 displayed reduced aortic content of total T helper lymphocytes, as shown by expression of respective markers.…”

“…36 Deletion of Ccr5 reduced the secretion of proinflammatory IFN-␥ by immune cells and enhanced expression of antiinflammatory IL-10, thus counteracting the Th1/Th2 disequilibrium of atherosclerotic inflammation. Given that SMCs constitute a major source for IL-10 in the lesions, and that Ccr5 deletion in bone marrow cells had little effect on plaque area, 18 it is conceivable that Ccr5 deficiency in nonhematopoietic cells, namely in Ccr5 ϩ SMCs, 37 recruited to the lesions accounts for a main part of the antiinflammatory protection.…”

“…Atherosclerotic lesions are markedly diminished in apoE -/-mice that cannot express the chemokine CCL2 (1) or its receptor C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) (2). CCR1, CCR5, and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) are other chemokine receptors proposed to affect monocyte recruitment in mouse models of atherosclerosis (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Still another chemokine receptor, CX3CR1, has been linked to atherosclerosis in both mouse models and human studies.…”

“…34,35 It is worth noting that RANTES/CCR5 signaling and IP-10 are known promoters of T-cell recruitment and activation. 37,38 In addition, RANTES/ CCR5 restrains IL-10 production 37 while IP-10 inhibits regulatory T-cell recruitment, 38 2 pathways recently shown to play critical roles in the control of the inflammatory response to brain injury and in brain protection after an ischemic insult. 34,35 All these putative mechanisms arise from experimental models in which chemokine levels were elevated at the time or after brain injury.…”
