Oxidized Phospholipids as Endogenous Pattern Recognition Ligands in Innate Immunity (2008)

One of the major functions of the innate immune system is the surveillance of host tissues, identifying apoptotic and senescent cells for engulfment and orderly removal by macrophages (1Ravichandran K.S. Lorenz U. Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2007; 7: 964-974Crossref PubMed Scopus (512) Google Scholar, 2Stuart L.M. Ezekowitz R.A. Immunity. 2005; 22: 539-550Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (546) Google Scholar). Macrophage recognition of modified lipoproteins occurs via similar pathways of the innate immune system, involving shared scavenger receptors and molecular pattern recognition ligands (3Shaw P.X.

These critical homeostatic functions of the innate immune system are essential to a diverse array of physiological processes, ranging from embryonic development and tissue remodeling to resolution of inflammation (7Henson P.M. Bratton D.L. Fadok V.A. Curr. Biol. 2001; 11: 795-805Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (406) Google Scholar, 8Savill J. Fadok V. Nature. 2000; 407: 784-788Crossref PubMed Scopus (1275) Google Scholar). Phagocytic cells express a broad range of receptors that participate in recognition and engulfment of apoptotic and senescent cells, including CD36, a prototypic member of the class B scavenger receptor family (9Suzuki H.

CD36 recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns, including erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum (15Ockenhouse C.F. Tandon N.N. Magowan C. Jamieson G.A. Chulay J.D.

It also recognizes oxidatively modified lipoproteins, leading to cholesterol accumulation and atherosclerotic plaque development in vivo (17Endemann G. Stanton L.W. Madden K.S. Bryant C.M. White R.T.

Recent data support the notion that phospholipid oxidation within cell membranes and lipoproteins exposes similar molecular patterns recognized by CD36 and other receptors of innate immunity. Animal model studies with mice genetically engineered to lack functional CD36 confirm that this prototypic scavenger receptor participates in recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells (19Greenberg M.E.

This review will discuss recent discoveries regarding the structural nature of oxidized phospholipids that serve as high affinity ligands for CD36 in vivo. Also discussed will be the Lipid Whisker Model (22Greenberg M.E. Li X.M. Gugiu B.G. Gu X. Qin J. Salomon R.G. Hazen S.L. J. Biol. Chem. 2008; 283: 2385-2396Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (231) Google Scholar). A revision to the Fluid Mosaic Model (23Singer S.J. Nicolson G.L. Science. 1972; 175: 720-731Crossref PubMed Scopus (6091) Google Scholar), the Lipid Whisker Model focuses on phospholipid conformation within oxidized cell membranes and lipoproteins and is derived from recent studies demonstrating the generality of a conformational switch in the structure of many phospholipids within cell membranes that occurs following oxidation. The conformational switch, involving the protrusion of oxidized fatty acids from the hydrophobic membrane interior into the more polar aqueous compartment (22Greenberg M.E. Li X.M. Gugiu B.G. Gu X.

Biochemistry. 2007; 46: 5009-5017Crossref PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar), facilitates physical contact between pattern recognition receptor and molecular pattern ligand. This anatomic positioning of oxidized fatty acids of membrane phospholipids may also underlie the preferential selectivity of some phospholipases for oxidized fatty acids during membrane remodeling. Recognition of oxidatively modified lipids on the surface of cell membranes and lipoprotein particles plays an important role in numerous innate immune functions and can trigger diverse cellular processes (25Gordon S.

Over the past several years, much effort has focused on our understanding of the chemical and structural nature of oxPL ligands recognized by macrophage pattern recognition receptors. There is general consensus that a significant portion of ligand binding activity on oxidized lipoproteins and senescent or apoptotic cells resides within extractable lipids (33Podrez E.A. Febbraio M. Sheibani N. Schmitt D. Silverstein R.L. Hajjar D.P. Cohen P.A. Frazier W.A. Hoff H.F. Hazen S.L. J. Clin. Investig. 2000; 105: 1095-1108Crossref PubMed Scopus (364) Google Scholar, 34Boullier A.

Gillotte K.L. Horkko S. Friedman P. Dennis E.A. Witztum J.L. Steinberg D. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1999; 96: 6347-6352Crossref PubMed Scopus (108) Google Scholar) first reported that receptors for oxLDL on elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages recognize both the oxidized lipid component and the modified protein moieties of oxLDL. In an extension of those studies, these investigators later identified the mouse scavenger receptor CD36 responsible for mediating binding to copper oxLDL via oxPC (34Boullier A. Gillotte K.L. Horkko S. Green S.R. Friedman P. Dennis E.A. Witztum J.L. Steinberg D. Quehenberger O. J. Biol. Chem. 2000; 275: 9163-9169Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (169) Google Scholar). In competition studies ∼50% of the CD36 binding activity was shown to reside within the lipid (organic solvent)-extractable fraction (34Boullier A. Gillotte K.L. Horkko S. Green S.R. Friedman P.

(33Podrez E.A. Febbraio M. Sheibani N. Schmitt D. Silverstein R.L. Hajjar D.P. Cohen P.A. Frazier W.A. Hoff H.F. Hazen S.L. J. Clin.

Here, the vast majority of macrophage recognition of the oxidatively modified lipoprotein was shown to reside within the lipid-extractable portion of the particle, with >90% of the binding attributable to oxPC interaction with macrophage scavenger receptor CD36 (33Podrez E.A. Febbraio M. Sheibani N. Schmitt D. Silverstein R.L. Hajjar D.P. Cohen P.A. Frazier W.A. Hoff H.F. Hazen S.L. J. Clin. Investig. 2000; 105: 1095-1108Crossref PubMed Scopus (364) Google Scholar). In studies with copper oxLDL, at least half of the macrophage binding activity was observed to remain in the protein moieties of lipoprotein following solvent extraction, suggesting that protein-oxPL adducts may also serve as ligands for macrophage recognition and phagocytosis via CD36 (34Boullier A. Gillotte K.L. Horkko S. Green S.R. Friedman P. Dennis E.A. Witztum J.L. Steinberg D. Quehenberger O. J. Biol.

Based upon studies with model protein- or peptide-oxPL adducts generated in vitro, a role for macrophage scavenger recognition of the choline headgroup of glycerophospholipids when tethered to proteins has also been reported (34Boullier A.
