PG - 1589-1599 LID - 10.1002/cbin.12057 [doi] AB - Macrophage-derived foam cell formation is critical for the initiation and development of atherosclerosis, which contributes to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a crucial ferroptosis regulator, protects cells from excessive oxidative stress by neutralizing lipid peroxidation. However, the role of macrophage GPX4 in foam cell formation remains unknown. We reported that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) upregulated GPX4 expression in macrophages. Using the Cre-loxP system, we generated myeloid cell-specific Gpx4 knockout (Gpx4(myel-KO) ) mice. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from WT and Gpx4(myel-KO) mice and incubated with modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL). We found that Gpx4 deficiency promoted foam cell formation and increased the internalization of modified LDL. Mechanistic studies unveiled that Gpx4 knockout upregulated scavenger receptor type A and LOX-1 expression and downregulated ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression. Collectively, our study lends a novel insight into the role of GPX4 in suppressing macrophage-derived foam cell formation and suggests GPX4 as a promising therapeutic target to interfere with atherosclerosis-related diseases.
