We investigated the effects of serum amyloid A (SAA) on the production of C-C chemokine motif ligand 2 (CCL2) and the mechanism underlying SAA action in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Stimulation of HUVECs by SAA elicited CCL2 production in a concentration-dependent manner. SAA induced the activations of NF-kappa B and AP-1, which were essential for CCL2 production after SAA stimulation. HUVECs expressed formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1), and short interfering RNA knockdown of FPRL1 nearly completely blocked SAA-induced CCL2 production in HUVECs. We suggest that SAA stimulates CCL2 production via FPRL1 and, thus, contributes to atherosclerosis. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
