Release of lysophospholipid ‘find-me’ signals during apoptosis requires the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1

Abstract: Efficient engulfment of apoptotic cells is essential in multi-cellular organisms in order to prevent inflammatory responses. Apoptotic cells secure this process by releasing 'find-me' signals for the attraction of phagocytes. A major 'find-me' signal liberated from apoptotic cells is lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). So far, however, the mechanisms underlying LPC release are poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition and RNAi-mediated knock-down of the lipid transporter ABCA1… Show more

“…Furthermore, our results demonstrate that pretreatment with the AMPK inhibitor compound C or a specific siRNA approach to knock down AMPK expression diminished the migration of macrophages toward lyso-PC find me signaling. Although lyso-PC is a naturally occurring bioactive lipid molecule thought to be important in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis (48,49), lyso-PC is also produced and released from dying cells (50,51). In particular, during apoptosis, the calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) is activated and, in turn, hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to lyso-PC, which is subsequently externalized and released (51).…”

“…It might be speculated that suppression of PGE 2 or other COX/ LO-derived metabolite ( 278 ) generation can prevent the spread of ␤ -cell apoptosis. Further, lysolipids and eicosanoids act as "chemoattractants" ( 230,(279)(280)(281), and increased generation of these could promote migration of immune cells toward the islet and subsequent infi ltration, raising the possibility that in vivo inhibition of iPLA 2 ␤ could mitigate immune responses leading to T1D. Autoimmune insulitis is marked by degradation of the islet basement membrane, which presents a physical barrier to infi ltrating leukocytes ( 282 ).…”

“…The following oligonucleotides were used: MFG-E8 nt63: 5 0 -CGUCGCCCUGGAUAUCUGUUC CAAA-3 0 , scramble: 5 0 -CGUUCCCUAGGUCUACUUGCGCAAA-3 0 . Electroporation of 5 Â 10 6 THP-1 cells with 2 mM siRNA oligo in 500 ml OptiMEM (Invitrogen) was performed as described 45,46 At 24 h before PKH67 staining and PMA-induced differentiation into macrophages, electroporation of 5 Â 10 6 primary monocytes with 2 mM siRNA oligo in 500 ml OptiMEM (Invitrogen) was performed as described 45,46 on d0, d1 and d4 after preparation before PKH67 staining and differentiation with 20 ng/ml M-CSF into macrophages on d1. Dex treatment was applied on d4 for 24 h and all other assays (qRT-PCR and phagocytosis assays) were performed on d5.…”

“…For immunoblot detection of MFG-E8 in cellular lysates, secretion was blocked by addition of 10 mg/ml Brefeldin A (Sigma) during the last 4 h of incubation. Non-reducing gradient SDS-PAGE and western blot analyses of whole cell lysates were performed as described previously 46,52 with 100 mg protein extract per lane and monoclonal mouse antibodies against human MFG-E8 (clone 1-H3) 44 and vinculin (Sigma) followed by ECL detection (GE Healthcare).…”
