摘要

Abstract Background Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the primary underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, intracellular metabolic pathways have been identified as master switches of immune cell function and thus seem promising targets for therapeutic interventions aimed at lowering inflammation and thereby atherogenesis. Decades of research have demonstrated the importance of the amino acid (AA) L-arginine (Arg) in CVD. Although most research has focused on endothelium-dependent effects of Arg by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS), Arg metabolism - mainly through its metabolizing enzyme arginase 1 (Arg1) - has also been shown to regulate immune cell responses independent of its endothelial functions. Despite these findings, the cell-specific contribution of Arg/Arg1 metabolism on atherogenesis is still largely unknown. Purpose Profiling the Arg metabolism in endothelial and immune cells to identify cell-specific changes during athero-progression. Methods To investigate Arg metabolism in atherogenesis, we fed apolipoprotein E deficient (Apoe-­/­-) mice a Western diet (WD) for 6 and 12 weeks. Chow diet-fed aged-matched Apoe-­/-­ mice were used as littermate controls and C57BL/6 mice as steady-state controls. Systemic and local Arg concentrations were measured by mass-spectrometry. Arg metabolism in organs was studied by qPCR. Arg1 expression in atherosclerotic lesions was examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). To assess cell-specific expression of Arg-related enzymes, aortic leukocytes from WD-fed Apoe-­/-­ mice were subjected to CITE-seq analysis. The role of T cell Arg1 was determined by nor-NOHA inhibition in Jurkat cells. Results AA measurements showed that systemic Arg was reduced in early and advanced atherogenesis (p<0.02), and splenic Arg was reduced in advanced atherogenesis (p=0.006) compared with steady state. In advanced atherosclerosis, Arg1 was decreased in the liver but increased in the spleen and aorta, whereas Nos2 was increased in the liver and aorta compared with steady state. To identify the cell types driving these local changes, we performed IHC on atherosclerotic lesions. Arg1+ lesional macrophages accumulated in advanced compared to early lesions (p=0.03), whereas Arg1+ endothelial cells tended to decrease (p=0.2). Surprisingly, we also found an accumulation of Arg1+ CD4+ T cells in lesions and a further upward trend with athero-progression. CITE-seq confirmed a constitutive expression of Arg1 in lymphoid clusters. In vitro experiments with Jurkat cells showed that arginase inhibition suppressed T cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis and migration (all p<0.0001). Conclusion Our data indicate that Arg metabolism is strongly regulated during athero-progression and suggest a so far unknown role of T cell-intrinsic Arg/Arg1 metabolism in the disease. Murine atherosclerosis studies are now being performed to decipher the cell-specific contribution of Arg/Arg1 metabolism in atherosclerosis.
