Abstract:
:Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, mainly due to the immune response triggered by the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages in the artery wall. Accumulating evidence have shown that matrix stiffness and oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) play important roles in atherosclerosis through modulating cellular behaviors. However, whether there is a synergistic effect for ox-LDL and matrix stiffness on macrophages behavior has not been explored yet. In this study, we developed a model system to investigate the synergistic role of ox-LDL and matrix stiffness on macrophage behaviors, such as migration, inflammatory and apoptosis. We found that there was a matrix stiffness-dependent behavior of monocyte-derived macrophages stimulated with ox-LDL. What's more, macrophages were more sensitive to ox-LDL on the stiff matrices compared to cells cultured on the soft matrices. Through next-generation sequencing, we identified miRNAs in response to matrix stiffness and ox-LDL and predicted pathways that showed the capability of miRNAs in directing macrophages fates. Our study provides a novel understanding of the important synergistic role of ox-LDL and matrix stiffness in modulating macrophages behaviors, especially through miRNAs signaling pathways, which could be potential key regulators in atherosclerosis and immune-targeted therapies.
