ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate CD36 in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), a condition characterized by monocyte/macrophage activation and vascular damage.METHODS:
CD36 expression was assessed in AAV patients and healthy controls (HC). The impact of palmitic acid (PA) stimulation on multinucleate giant cell (MNGC) formation, macrophage, and endothelial cell activation, with or without CD36 knockdown, was examined.RESULTS:
CD36 was overexpressed on AAV patients' monocytes compared to HC, regardless of disease activity. AAV patients exhibited elevated soluble CD36 levels in serum and plasma and PR3-ANCA patients' monocytes demonstrated increased MNGC formation following PA stimulation compared to HC. PA stimulation of macrophages or endothelial cells resulted in heightened CD36 expression, cell activation, increased macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) production, and c-Myc expression, with attenuation upon CD36 knockdown.CONCLUSION:
CD36 participates in macrophage and endothelial cell activation and MNGC formation, features of AAV pathogenesis. AAV treatment may involve targeting CD36 or MIF.Palavras-chave
