AbstractObjective - The stimulatory effect of homocysteine (Hcy) on monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 expression in vitro has been suggested to play an important role in Hcy-mediated atherosclerosis. We investigated whether such a stimulatory effect occurs in vivo, leading to monocyte adhesion to the endothelium. Methods and Results - Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups. Hyperhomocysteinemia was induced in 1 group of rats after 4 weeks of a high-methionine diet (serum Hcy levels were 4- to 5-fold higher than levels in control rats). The number of ED-1-positive cells present on the surface of aortic endothelium was significantly elevated in hyperhomocysteinemic rats. There was a significant increase in the expression of MCP-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin in the endothelium. Antibodies recognizing MCP-1, VCAM-1, or E-selectin could abolish the enhanced monocyte binding to the aortic endothelium of hyperhomocysteinemic rats. Endothelium-dependent aortic relaxation was impaired in hyperhomocysteinemic rats. Conclusions - These results suggest that in the absence of other known risk factors, hyperhomocysteinemia stimulates the expression of MCP-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin in vivo, leading to increased monocyte adhesion to the aortic endothelium. Such an effect may contribute significantly to the development of atherosclerosis by facilitating monocyte/macrophage infiltration into the arterial wall.
