Certain triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), specifically chylomicrons, dyslipemic VLDLs, and their remnants, are atherogenic and can induce monocyte-macrophage foam cell formation in vitro via the apolipoprotein B-48 receptor (apoB-48R). Human atherosclerotic lesion foam cells express the apoB-48R, as determined immunohistochemically, suggesting it can play a role in the conversion of macrophages into foam cells in vivo. The regulation of the apoB-48R in monocyte-macrophages is not fully understood, albeit previous studies indicated that cellular sterol levels and state of differentiation do not affect apoB-48R expression. Since peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) regulate some aspects of cellular lipid metabolism and may be protective in atherogenesis by up-regulation of liver X-activated receptor α and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1, we examined the regulation of apoB-48R by PPAR ligands in human monocyte-macrophages. Using real-time PCR, Northern, Western, and functional cellular lipid accumulation assays, we show that PPARα and PPARγ activators significantly suppress the of apoB-48R in human and monocyte-macrophages.
