Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) contributes to cardiovascular disease in part by mediating activation and maturation of monocytes and macrophages. Furthermore, co-localization studies using histochemical approaches have implicated a potential role for oxidized LDL as a mediator of interleukin-15 (IL-15) expression in myeloid cells of atherosclerotic plaque. The latter activity could be an important pro-inflammatory mechanism that mediates myeloid cell/T-cell crosstalk. Here, we examined the responses of primary human monocytes to highly oxidized LDL molecules. Oxidized LDL readily induced secretion of chemokines MCP-1 (CCL2) and GRO-alpha (CXCL1) but unlike lipopolysaccharide (LPS), has limited capacity to induce a variety of other cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 beta and interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 and also displayed a poor capacity to induce p-Akt or P-S6 signaling. Failure of oxidized LDL to induce IL-1 beta secretion was associated with limited induction of caspase-1 activation. Furthermore, despite finding evidence that oxidized LDL could enhance the expression of IL-15 and IL-15 receptor expression in monocytes, we found no evidence that it could confer IL-15 transpresentation capability to these cells. This observation contrasted with induction of IL-15 transpresentation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes. Overall, our data suggest that highly oxidized LDL is a selective inducer of monocyte activation. Sterile inflammatory mediators, particularly those implicated in Toll-like receptor 4 signaling, may play a role in vascular pathology but the activities of these agents are not uniform.
