Relationship between CCL22 Expression by Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Macrophage Histamine Receptors in Atherosclerosis.

Abstract：

AIM:CCL22, mainly synthesized by monocyte-derived alternative (M2) macrophages, belongs to the CC family of chemokines and is involved in monocyte migration and recruitment. We have previously investigated CCL22 and histamine in atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that CCL22 is involved in atherosclerosis, which is influenced by the differentiation of macrophage phenotypes via histamine. METHODS:CCL22 expression was investigated in human carotid arteries and coronary arteries with bare metal stents. Ligated carotid arteries of wild-type (C57BL/6J) and apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were also used as atherosclerotic models. The localization and expression of CCL22 and classical (M1)-like and M2-like macrophages in various human and mouse atherosclerotic lesions were investigated by immunohistochemical examination and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Histamine is expressed in atherosclerosis, and it induces inflammation and immunity. Human- and mice-derived monocytes and macrophages were used to examine the role of histamine in macrophage differentiation and CCL22-expression. Macrophages derived from histamine receptor 1 (H1R)- and 2 (H2R)-knockout (KO) mice were also examined. RESULTS:Atherosclerotic lesions showed a distribution of heterogeneous macrophage phenotypes with M1-like and M2-like macrophage dominant sites. CCL22 was distributed in sparse areas of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and associated with M2-like macrophages. Moreover, H2R stimulation was associated with CCL22 expression via M2-like macrophage dominant differentiation. CONCLUSION:The expression of M1- or M2-like macrophages in atherosclerosis were observed to be dependent on the distribution of VSMCs owing to differences in causal stimuli and the switching of histamine receptors via Th1 or Th2 cytokines. These results suggest that CCL22 may control atherosclerosis.
