macrophage derived foam cell differentiation
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The process in which a monocyte acquires the specialized features of a foam cell. A foam cell is a type of cell containing lipids in small vacuoles and typically seen in atherosclerotic lesions, as well as other conditions. [GOC:add, GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
Foam cell differentiation is a critical process in the development of atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids within the arterial wall. Macrophages, immune cells that reside in the vascular system, play a central role in this process.
When macrophages encounter modified lipoproteins, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), they become activated and begin to engulf these lipids. This uptake of lipids is mediated by several receptors, including scavenger receptors, such as SR-A and CD36, as well as the LDL receptor.
The accumulation of lipids within the macrophage cytoplasm leads to the formation of lipid droplets, which are surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer. These lipid droplets progressively grow in size, giving the macrophage a foamy appearance, hence the term "foam cell."
Foam cell formation is influenced by several factors:
* **Lipoprotein Profile:** Elevated levels of LDL, particularly oxLDL, promote foam cell formation.
* **Inflammation:** Inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α and IL-6, enhance macrophage lipid uptake and contribute to foam cell differentiation.
* **Oxidative Stress:** Oxidative stress, which is often associated with hyperlipidemia, promotes lipid modification and exacerbates foam cell formation.
The accumulation of foam cells within the arterial wall contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques can rupture, leading to thrombosis and subsequent cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke.
Foam cell formation is a complex process that involves multiple signaling pathways and cellular interactions. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this process is crucial for developing effective therapies to prevent and treat atherosclerosis.'
