ABSTRACT
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) has a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis. The participation of oxLDLstimulated macrophages has been wellestablished in atherosclerosis, however the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Macrophagederived exosomes are actively released and are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes. However, the function of exosomes secreted by oxLDLstimulated macrophages in atherosclerosis remains unknown. Exosomes from oxLDLtreated macrophages and controls were cocultured with endothelial cells and the exosomes were taken up by endocytosis. Cell Counting Kit8 and tube formation assay results revealed that exosomes derived from oxLDLstimulated macrophages reduced the growth and tube formation ability of endothelial cells. Suppression of exosomal secretion by oxLDLstimulated macrophages rescued the growth and tube formation ability of endothelial cells. Therefore, the results of the present study indicate that oxLDLstimulated macrophages may attenuate the growth and tube formation of endothelial cells, at least in part through exosomal transfer. This may provide novel targets for the development of atherosclerosis therapeutics.
