Group IIA secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an acute-phase protein mediating decreased plasma HDL cholesterol and increased atherosclerosis. This study investigated the impact of macrophage-specific sPLA2 overexpression on lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis. Macrophages from sPLA2 transgenic mice have 2.5 times increased rates of LDL oxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances formation) in vitro (59 ± 5 vs. 24 ± 4 nmol malondialdehyde/mg protein; P < 0.001) dependent on functional 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO). Low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLR/) mice were transplanted with bone marrow from either sPLA2 transgenic mice (sPLA2
LDLR/; n = 19) or wild-type C57BL/6 littermates (C57 BL/6
LDLR/; n = 19) and maintained for 8 weeks on chow and then for 9 weeks on a Western-type diet. Plasma sPLA2 activity and plasma lipoprotein profiles were not significantly different between sPLA2
LDLR/ and C57BL/6
LDLR/ mice. Aortic root atherosclerosis was increased by 57% in sPLA2
LDLR/ mice compared with C57BL/6
LDLR/ controls (P < 0.05). Foam cell formation in vitro and in vivo was increased significantly. Urinary, plasma, and aortic levels of the isoprostane 8,12-iso-iPF2
-VI and aortic levels of 12/15-LO reaction products were each significantly higher (P < 0.001) in sPLA2
LDLR/ compared with C57BL/6
LDLR/ mice, indicating significantly increased in vivo oxidative stress in sPLA2
LDLR/.
These data demonstrate that macrophage-specific overexpression of human sPLA2 increases atherogenesis by directly modulating foam cell formation and in vivo oxidative stress without any effect on systemic sPLA2 activity and lipoprotein metabolism.
