Alternative macrophage activation, which relies on mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, plays a central role in resolution of inflammation and prevents atherosclerosis. Moreover, macrophages handle large amounts of cholesterol and triglycerides derived from the engulfed modified lipoproteins during atherosclerosis. Although several microRNAs regulate macrophage polarization, the role of microRNA-generating enzyme Dicer in macrophage activation during atherosclerosis is unknown. -To evaluate the role of Dicer in atherosclerosis, mice with or without macrophage-specific deletion were fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. AGO2-RIP-ChIP, RNA deep sequencing combined with microRNA functional screening were performed in the wild type and knockout bone marrow-derived macrophages to identify the individual microRNAs and the mRNA targets mediating the phenotypic effects of Dicer. The role of identified individual microRNA and its target in atherosclerosis was determined by tail vein injection of the target site blockers (TSBs) in atherosclerotic mice. -We show that deletion in macrophages accelerated atherosclerosis in mice along with enhanced inflammatory response and increased lipid accumulation in lesional macrophages. , alternative activation was limited, whereas lipid-filled 'foam cell' formation was exacerbated in -deficient macrophages due to impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidative metabolism. Rescue of miR-10a, let-7b and miR-195a expression restored the oxidative metabolism in alternatively activated -deficient macrophages. Suppression of ligand-dependent nuclear receptor co-repressor (Lcor) by miR-10a promoted fatty acid oxidation, which mediated the lipolytic and anti-inflammatory effect of Dicer. miR-10a expression was negatively correlated to the progression of atherosclerosis in human. Blocking the interaction between Lcor and miR-10a by TSBs aggravated atherosclerosis development in mice. -Dicer plays an atheroprotective role by coordinately regulating the inflammatory response and lipid metabolism in macrophages through enhancing fatty acid-fueled mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that promoting Dicer/miR-10a-dependent metabolic reprogramming in macrophages has potential therapeutic implications to prevent atherosclerosis.
