Abstract
Macrophages isolated from a variety of organs in several animal species exhibit high affinity binding sites that recognize chemically modified proteins. One of these binding sites recognizes human plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) in which the positive charges on the epsilon-amino groups of lysine have been removed or neutralized by chemical modification, thus giving the protein an enhanced negative charge. Effective treatments include reaction of LDL with organic acid anhydrides (acetylation or maleylation) and reaction with aldehydes, such as treatment with malondialdehyde. After the negatively-charged LDL binds to the surface receptor sites, it is rapidly internalized by the macrophages by endocytosis and hydrolyzed in lysosomes. The liberated cholesterol is reesterified in the cytoplasm, producing massive cholesteryl ester deposition. The binding sites for negatively-charged LDL has been demonstrated so far only on macrophages and other scavenger cells. It is not expressed in cultured fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, lymphocytes, or adrenal cells. In addition to its affinity for acetylated LDL and malondialdehyde-treated LDL, the macrophage site binds a variety of polyanions. It exhibits a particularly high affinity for certain sulfated polysaccharides (dextran sulfate and fucoidin), certain polynucleotides (polyinosinic acid and polyguanylic acid), polyvinyl sulfate, and maleylated albumin. It is possible that the site that binds negatively-charged LDL may be responsible for the massive accumulation of cholesteryl esters that occurs in vivo in macrophages and other scavenger cells in patients with high levels of circulating plasma LDL.
