BackgroundInflammation participates pivotally in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated plasma protein that affects HDL metabolism and shows various anti-inflammatory functions in atherosclerosis. In this study, we aim to determine whether apoM is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and promoted the anti-inflammatory effect of HDL by combing with scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI).MethodsThe expression of apoM in PBMCs is detected by a confocal fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. The interactions between apoM and SR-BI are detected with co-immunoprecipitation. The multiplexed Luminex xMAP assay detects the inflammatory factors induced by apoM+ HDL and apoM- HDL in inflammatory cell model.ResultsApoM is expressed on CD14+ monocytes, CD3+ T cells, and CD19+ B cells, CD16+ and CD56+ NK cells. CD14+ monocytes have the highest ratio of apoM+ cells. ApoM+ HDL, apoM- HDL, and recombinant apoM protein could be co-precipitated with SR-BI on the surface of human THP-1 monocytic leukemia cells. In vitro, apoM+ HDL induces significantly less expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β than apoM- HDL.ConclusionsApoM was expressed on all PBMCs. ApoM interacted with SR-BI on THP-1. ApoM+ HDL has a more significant anti-inflammatory effect than apoM- HDL.
