- W4313707041 abstract "Arsenic exposure is correlated with atherosclerosis in epidemiological studies and in animal models. We have previously shown that arsenic exposure enhanced the atherosclerotic plaque size, increased the plaque lipid content, and decreased the plaque smooth muscle cell and collagen contents in the apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mice. However, the percentage of plaque-resident macrophages, the primary drivers of atherosclerosis remained unchanged. Therefore, we hypothesized that although arsenic does not change the quantity of macrophages, it alters the macrophage transcriptome towards a proatherogenic state. To test this hypothesis, we used bone marrow-derived macrophages, polarized them to either interferon-γ (IFN-ɣ) stimulated, proinflammatory or interleukin-4 (IL-4) stimulated, alternatively activated macrophages in the presence or absence of 0.67 µM (50 ppb) arsenic and performed RNA sequencing. Arsenic exposure altered the gene expression of the macrophages in a subtype-specific manner. Most differentially expressed genes (88%) were altered specifically in either IFN-ɣ- or IL-4-stimulated macrophages, whereas in the remaining 12% of genes that changed in both cell types, did so in opposite directions. In IL-4-stimulated macrophages, arsenic significantly downregulated the genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and the chemokines CCL17/CCL22, whereas in IFN-ɣ-stimulated macrophages, the genes associated with the liver X receptor (LXR) pathway were downregulated by arsenic. Using a bone marrow transplant experiment, we validated that the deletion of LXRα from the hematopoietic compartment rescued arsenic-enhanced atherosclerosis in the apoE-/- mouse model. Together, these data suggest that arsenic modulates subtype-specific transcriptomic changes in macrophages and further emphasize the need to define macrophage heterogeneity in atherosclerotic plaques in order to evaluate the proatherogenic role of arsenic." @default.
