- W3175268542 abstract "Objective: Recent data point to an important immunomodulatory role for neural guidance molecules, including semaphorin 3a (Sema-3A), in inflammatory diseases. Sema-3A is a secreted member of the Sema family and is produced by several immune cells including macrophages. We found that Sema-3A receptors are expressed in macrophages and in atherosclerotic plaques. Approach and results: To investigate the role of Sema-3A in atherosclerosis, ApoE-/- mice were administered with a Sema-3A overexpressing or a control plasmid and were fed a high fat diet for 9 weeks. Sema-3A receptors were expressed in macrophages and atherosclerotic plaques. Our results show that Sema-3A overexpressing mice had significantly smaller atherosclerotic plaques than control mice in the aortic sinus (0.3±0.02 vs. 0.4±0.03 mm 2 ), the brachiocephalic artery (0.04±0.01 vs. 0.1±0.01 mm 2 ) and the aorta (9.5±1.4 vs 15.3±2.9%), assessed by oil red O staining. No differences were observed in plaque stability, measured by collagen and smooth muscle cell alpha-actin staining. However, there was significantly less (2-fold) macrophage content in the plaques of Sema-3A compared to control mice, associated with decreased circulating monocytes determined by flow cytometry as cd11b positive and Gr-1 negative cells (4.97±0.74 vs. 7.2±0.62%). To better define the involved mechanisms, we investigated macrophage function In vitro and found that recombinant Sema-3A increased by 4 fold migration of M2 but not M1 macrophages. In addition, active beta-1 integrin expression was significantly enhanced (2-fold) by Sema-3A in human M2 macrophages. Importantly, Sema-3A induced a significant increase (by 50%) of focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation. Conclusions: Our data show that Sema-3A prevents atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE -/- mice. This may be due in part to enhanced motility and function of M2 macrophages through regulation of beta-1 integrin." @default.
