ABSTRACT
Patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) display impaired surfactant clearance, foamy, lipid-filled alveolar macrophages, and increased cholesterol metabolites within the lung. Neutralizing autoantibodies to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are also present, resulting in virtual GM-CSF deficiency. We investigated ABCG1 and ABCA1 expression in alveolar macrophages of PAP patients and GM-CSF knockout (KO) mice, which exhibit PAP-like pulmonary pathology and increased pulmonary cholesterol. Alveolar macrophages from both sources displayed a striking similarity in transporter gene dysregulation, consisting of deficient ABCG1 accompanied by highly increased ABCA1. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR ), a known regulator of both transporters, was deficient, as reported previously. In contrast, the liver X receptor , which also upregulates both transporters, was highly increased. GM-CSF treatment increased ABCG1 expression in macrophages in vitro and in PAP patients in vivo. Overexpression of PPAR by lentivirus-PPAR transduction of primary alveolar macrophages, or activation by rosiglitazone, also increased ABCG1 expression. These results suggest that ABCG1 deficiency in PAP and GM-CSF KO alveolar macrophages is attributable to the absence of a GM-CSF-mediated PPAR pathway. These findings document the existence of ABCG1 deficiency in human lung disease and highlight a critical role for ABCG1 in surfactant homeostasis.
