Abstract Background Atherosclerosis (AS) is the basis of cardiovascular diseases, characterized by chronic inflammatory and lipid metabolism disorders. Although the anti-inflammatory effect of Klotho in AS has been clearly shown, its lipid-lowering effect is unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of recombinant Klotho (Re-KL) protein on lipid accumulation in foam cells. Methods THP-1 cells were exposed to 100 nM phorbol myristate acetate for 24 h and then to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL; 80 mg/mL) to induce foam cell formation. Subsequently, the foam cells were incubated with Re-KL and/or DKK1, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Results Oil red O staining and cholesterol intake assay revealed that the foam cell model was constructed successfully. Pre-treatment of the foam cells with Re-KL decreased total cholesterol level, up-regulated the expression of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1), and down-regulated the expression of acyl coenzyme a-cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) and members of the scavenger family (SR-A1 and CD36). In addition, the expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins in foam cells was significantly decreased by the stimulus of Re-KL. Interestingly, the effect of Re-KL was similar to that of DKK1 on foam cells. Conclusions The Re-KL-induced up-regulation of reverse cholesterol transport capacity promotes cholesterol efflux and reduces lipid accumulation by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in foam cells. |
