Oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) has multiple proatherogenic effects, including induction of apoptosis. We have recently shown that OxLDL markedly downregulates insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) in human aortic smooth muscle cells, and that IGF-1R overexpression blocks OxLDL-induced apoptosis. We hypothesized that specific OxLDL-triggered signaling events led to IGF-1R downregulation and apoptosis. We examined OxLDL signaling pathways and found that neither IGF-1R downregulation nor the proapoptotic effect was blocked by inhibition of OxLDL-triggered extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) signaling pathways, as assessed using specific inhibitors. However, antioxidants, polyethylene glycol catalase, superoxide dismutase, and Trolox completely blocked OxLDL downregulation of IGF-1R and OxLDL-induced apoptosis. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid, AA-861, and baicalein, which are lipoxygenase inhibitors and also have antioxidant activity, blocked IGF-1R downregulation and apoptosis as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. These results suggest that OxLDL enhances ROS production possibly through lipoxygenase activity, leading to IGF-1R downregulation and apoptosis. Furthermore, anti-CD36 scavenger receptor antibody markedly inhibited OxLDL-induced IGF-1R downregulation and apoptosis as well as ROS production. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that OxLDL downregulates IGF-1R via redox-sensitive pathways that are distinct from OxLDL signaling through MAPK- and PPARgamma-involved pathways but may involve a CD36-dependent mechanism. 相似文献

Most studies of antibodies to oxidized LDL have been undertaken in patients with different diseases and cardiovascular risk factors. However, very few studies have researched the distribution and determining factors of antibodies to oxidized LDL in the general population. A total of 1,354 persons (817 females and 537 males) aged 5-65 years were included in this study. They were selected randomly from the population census of Málaga, in southern Spain. The females had lower levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides and higher levels of HDL-cholesterol and a very significant increase (P < 0.0001) in levels of anti-oxidized LDL [low density lipoprotein modified by malondialdehyde (MDA-LDL)] antibodies but no difference in levels of immune complexes consisting of LDL and IgG antibodies (anti-LDL immune complex). Younger persons (16-35 years) had higher levels of anti-oxidized LDL (MDA-LDL) antibodies than persons older than 35 years (P = 0.05). Levels of immune complexes were significantly higher (P = 0.05) in persons aged 5-15 years than in persons older than 40 years. A very weak association was found between levels of anti-oxidized LDL (MDA-LDL) antibodies and anti-LDL immune complexes. The higher prevalence of anti-oxidized LDL (MDA-LDL) antibodies in females and young persons is in agreement with studies that found an inverse association between atherosclerosis and the level of these antibodies. 相似文献

Oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is immunogenic and induces autoimmune responses in humans. OxLDL antibodies are predominantly of the proinflammatory IgG1 and IgG3 isotypes. We tested the capacity of immune complexes prepared with copper-oxidized human LDL and affinity chromatography-purified human OxLDL antibodies [OxLDL-immune complexes (ICs)] to activate complement and to induce cytokine release by MonoMac 6 (MM6) cells and by primary human macrophages. The levels of C4d and C3a were significantly higher in human serum incubated with OxLDL-ICs than after incubation with OxLDL or OxLDL antibody, indicating complement activation by the classical pathway. MM6 cells and primary human macrophages were incubated with OxLDL-ICs, with or without prior conditioning with interferon-gamma. After 18 h of incubation, both MM6 cells and primary human macrophages released significantly higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines after incubation with OxLDL-ICs than after incubation with OxLDL or with OxLDL antibody, both in primed and unprimed cells. OxLDL-ICs were more potent activators of MM6 cells than keyhole limpet hemocyanin-ICs. Blocking Fc gamma receptor I (FcgammaRI) with monomeric IgG1 significantly depressed the response of MM6 cells to OxLDL-ICs. In conclusion, human OxLDL-ICs have proinflammatory properties, as reflected by their capacity to activate the classical pathway of complement and to induce proinflammatory cytokine release from MM6 cells and primary human macrophages. 相似文献

Low concentrations of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) are cytoprotective for phagocytes, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated signaling pathways used by OxLDL to attenuate apoptosis in monocytic cells. OxLDL at 25-50 mug/ml inhibited staurosporine-induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages, and it was cytoprotective in human primary monocytes upon serum withdrawal. Attenuated cell demise was reversed by blocking extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. Translocation of cytochrome c to the cytosol was attenuated by OxLDL, which again demanded ERK signaling. Analysis of Bcl-2 family proteins revealed phosphorylation of Bad at serine 112 as well as ERK-dependent inhibition of Mcl-1 degradation. Although the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an established signal generated by OxLDL, ROS scavengers did not interfere with cell protection by OxLDL. Thus, activation of the ERK signaling pathway by OxLDL is important to protect phagocytes from apoptosis. 相似文献

Scavenger receptors were originally defined by their ability to bind and internalize modified lipoproteins. Macrophages express at least six structurally different cell surface receptors for modified forms of LDL that contribute to foam cell formation in atherosclerosis. In addition to their role in the pathology of atherosclerosis, macrophage scavenger receptors, especially SR-A, play critical roles in innate immunity, apoptotic cell clearance, and tissue homeostasis. In this review, we highlight recent advances in understanding the biology of macrophage scavenger receptors as pattern recognition receptors for both infectious nonself (pathogens) and modified self (apoptotic cells and modified LDL). We critically evaluate the potential of scavenger receptors and their ligands as targets for therapeutic intervention in human disease. 相似文献

Humans and laboratory animals recognize human modified LDL as immunogenic. Immune complexes (ICs) isolated from human sera contain malondialdehyde-modified LDL (MDA-LDL) and N (epsilon)(carboxymethyl)lysine-modified LDL (CML-LDL) as well as antibodies reacting with MDA-LDL, copper-oxidized LDL (OxLDL), CML-LDL, and advanced glycosylation end product (AGE)-modified LDL. OxLDL and AGE-LDL antibodies isolated from human sera recognize the same LDL modifications and do not react with modified non-LDL proteins. Rabbit antibodies have different reactivity patterns: MDA-LDL antibodies react strongly with MDA-LDL and MDA-BSA but weakly with OxLDL; OxLDL antibodies react strongly with OxLDL and weakly with MDA-LDL; CML-LDL antibodies react with CML-LDL > CML-BSA > AGE-LDL > OxLDL; AGE-LDL antibodies react strongly with AGE-LDL, react weakly with OxLDL, and do not react with CML-LDL. Thus, human and rabbit antibodies seem to recognize different epitopes. Capture assays carried out with all rabbit antibodies showed binding of apolipoprotein B-rich lipoproteins isolated from ICs, suggesting that laboratory-generated epitopes are expressed by in vivo-modified LDL, although they are not necessarily recognized by the human immune system. Thus, the definition of immunogenic forms of modified LDL eliciting human autoimmune responses requires the isolation and characterization of autoantibodies and modified LDL from human samples, whereas rabbit antibodies can be used to detect in vivo-modified human LDL. 相似文献

Oxidative modifications render low density lipoprotein cytotoxic and enhance its propensity to aggregate and fuse into particles similar to those found in atherosclerotic lesions. We showed previously that aggregation of oxidized LDL (OxLDL) promotes the transformation of human macrophages into lipid-laden foam cells (Asmis, R., and J. Jelk. 2000. Large variations in human foam cell formation in individuals. A fully autologous in vitro assay based on the quantitative analysis of cellular neutral lipids. Atherosclerosis. 148: 243-253). Here, we tested the hypothesis that aggregation of OxLDL enhances its clearance by human macrophages and thus may protect macrophages from OxLDL-induced cytotoxicity. We found that increased aggregation of OxLDL correlated with decreased macrophage injury. Using 3H-labeled and Alexa546-labeled OxLDL, we found that aggregation enhanced OxLDL uptake and increased cholesteryl ester accumulation but did not alter free cholesterol levels in macrophages. Acetylated LDL was a potent competitor of aggregated oxidized LDL (AggOxLDL) uptake, suggesting that scavenger receptor A plays an important role in the clearance of AggOxLDL. Inhibitors of actin polymerization, cytochalasin B, cytochalasin D, and latrunculin A, also prevented AggOxLDL uptake and restored OxLDL-induced cytotoxicity. This suggests that OxLDL-induced macrophage injury does not require OxLDL uptake and may occur on the cell surface. Our data demonstrate that aggregation of cytotoxic OxLDL enhances its clearance by macrophages without damage to the cells, thus allowing macrophages to avoid OxLDL-induced cell injury. 相似文献

The functional heterogeneity of HDL is attributed to its diverse bioactive components. We evaluated whether the vasodilatory effects of HDL differed across HDL subpopulations, reflecting their distinct molecular composition. The capacity of five major HDL subfractions to counteract the inhibitory effects of oxidized LDL on acetylcholine-induced vasodilation was tested in a rabbit aortic rings model. NO production, an essential pathway in endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, was studied in simian vacuolating virus 40-transformed murine endothelial cells (SVECs). Small dense HDL3 subfractions displayed potent vasorelaxing activity (up to +31% vs. baseline, P < 0.05); in contrast, large light HDL2 did not induce aortic-ring relaxation when compared on a total protein basis. HDL3 particles were enriched with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) (up to 3-fold vs. HDL2), with the highest content in HDL3b and -3c that concomitantly revealed the strongest vasorelaxing properties. NO generation was enhanced by HDL3c in SVECs (1.5-fold, P < 0.01), a phenomenon that was blocked by the S1P receptor antagonist, VPC 23019. S1P-enriched reconstituted HDL (rHDL) was a 1.8-fold (P < 0.01) more potent vasorelaxant than control rHDL in aortic rings. Small dense HDL3 particles displayed potent protective effects against oxidative stress-associated endothelium dysfunction, potentially reflecting their elevated content of S1P that might facilitate interaction with S1P receptors and ensuing NO generation. 相似文献

In this work, we investigated the impact of testosterone deficiency and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) expression on lipoprotein metabolism and diet-induced atherosclerosis. CETP transgenic mice and nontransgenic (nTg) littermates were studied 4 weeks after bilateral orchidectomy or sham operation. Castrated mice had an increase in the LDL fraction (+36% for CETP and +79% for nTg mice), whereas the HDL fraction was reduced (-30% for CETP and -11% for nTg mice). Castrated mice presented 1.7-fold higher titers of anti-oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) antibodies than sham-operated controls. Plasma levels of CETP, lipoprotein lipase, and hepatic lipase were not changed by castration. Kinetic studies showed no differences in VLDL secretion rate, VLDL-LDL conversion rate, or number of LDL and HDL receptors. Competition experiments showed lower affinity of LDL from castrated mice for tissue receptors. Diet-induced atherosclerosis studies showed that testosterone deficiency increased by 100%, and CETP expression reduced by 44%, the size of aortic lesion area in castrated mice. In summary, testosterone deficiency increased plasma levels of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins (apoB-LPs) and anti-OxLDL antibodies, decreased LDL receptor affinity, and doubled the size of diet-induced atherosclerotic lesions. The expression of CETP led to a milder increase of apoB-LPs and reduced atherosclerotic lesion size in testosterone-deficient mice. 相似文献

The size of LDL is usually reported as particle diameter, with the implicit assumption that it is a spherical particle. On the other hand, data obtained by cryoelectron microscopy and crystallographic analysis suggest that LDL shape may be discoid. We have investigated LDL particle geometry by combining data on LDL lipid composition with size measurement. The mean LDL diameter of 160 samples was measured by high-performance gel-filtration chromatography (HPGC), and particle volume was calculated from its lipid composition. Assuming a spherical shape, diameters calculated from volume correlated poorly with values obtained by HPGC (R(2) = 0.36). Assuming a discoid shape, particle height was calculated from volume and HPGC diameter. Diameter (20.9 +/- 0.5 nm) and height (12.1 +/- 0.8 nm) were not significantly related to each other (r = 0.14, P = 0.09) and accounted for 23% and 77%, respectively, of the variation in particle volume. In multivariate regression models, LDL core lipids were the main determinants of height (R(2) = 0.83), whereas free cholesterol in the shell, which contributes only 5-9% to LDL mass, was the main determinant of diameter (R(2) = 0.54). We conclude that combined data from composition and size measurements are compatible with a discoid particle shape and propose a structural model for LDL in which free cholesterol plays a major role in determining particle shape and diameter. 相似文献

A highly electronegative fraction of human plasma LDLs, designated L5, has distinctive biological activity that includes induction of apoptosis in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). This study was performed to identify a relationship between LDL density, electronegativity, and biological activity, namely, the induction of apoptosis in BAECs. Plasma LDLs from normolipidemic subjects and homozygotic familial hypercholesterolemia subjects were separated into five subfractions, with increasing electronegativity from L1 to L5, and into seven subfractions according to increasing density, D1 to D7. L1 to L5 were also separated according to density, and D1 to D7 were separated according to charge. The density profiles of L1 to L5 were similar (maximum density = 1.030 +/- 0.002 g/ml). Induction of apoptosis by all seven density subfractions was confined to the highly electronegative fraction, L5, and within each density subfraction the magnitude of apoptosis correlated with the L5 content. Electronegative LDL is heterogeneous with respect to density and composition, and induction of apoptosis is more strongly associated with LDL electronegativity than with LDL size or density. 相似文献

Low-fat diets have been shown to increase plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a preferential lipoprotein carrier of oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) in plasma, as well as small dense LDL particles. We sought to determine whether increases in plasma Lp(a) induced by a low-fat high-carbohydrate (LFHC) diet are related to changes in OxPL and LDL subclasses. We studied 63 healthy subjects after 4 weeks of consuming, in random order, a high-fat low-carbohydrate (HFLC) diet and a LFHC diet. Plasma concentrations of Lp(a) (P < 0.01), OxPL/apolipoprotein (apo)B (P < 0.005), and OxPL-apo(a) (P < 0.05) were significantly higher on the LFHC diet compared with the HFLC diet whereas LDL peak particle size was significantly smaller (P < 0.0001). Diet-induced changes in Lp(a) were strongly correlated with changes in OxPL/apoB (P < 0.0001). The increases in plasma Lp(a) levels after the LFHC diet were also correlated with decreases in medium LDL particles (P < 0.01) and increases in very small LDL particles (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that induction of increased levels of Lp(a) by an LFHC diet is associated with increases in OxPLs and with changes in LDL subclass distribution that may reflect altered metabolism of Lp(a) particles. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) on DNA methylation in the promoter region of the estrogen receptor α (ERos) gene,and its potentialmechanism in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.Cultured smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of humans weretreated by Hcy and ox-LDL with different concentrations for different periods of time.The DNA methylationstatus was assayed by nested methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction,the lipids that accumulated inthe SMCs and foam cell formations were examined with Oil red O staining.The proliferation of SMCs wasassayed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.The results showedthat ox-LDL in moderate concentrations (10-40 mg/L) induced de novo methylation in the promoter regionof the ERα gene of SMCs.However,high concentrations (50 mg/L) of ox-LDL,resulted in demethylation ofERα.The Hcy treatment resulted in de novo methylation in the promoter region of the ERα gene with aconcentration- and treating time-dependent manner,and a dose-dependent promoting effect on SMCproliferation.These data indicated that the two risk factors for atherosclerosis had the function of inducingde novo methylation in the promoter region of the ERα gene of SMCs. However,high concentrations (50rag/L) of ox-LDL induced demethylation,indicating that different risk factors of atherosclerosis with differentpotency might cause different aberrant methylation patterns in the promoter region of the ERα gene.Theatherogenic mechanism of Hcy might involve the hypermethylation of the ERα gene,leading to the proliferationof SMCs in atherosclerotic lesions. 相似文献

This study tests the hypothesis that autoantibodies to oxidation epitopes on oxidized LDL (OxLDL) promote the clearance of OxLDL from the plasma. Human LDL (hLDL) was injected into immune-competent apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice and immune-deficient apoE(-/-)/recombination-activating gene-deficient mice that lack mature T and B cells and thus antibodies. There was a progressive decrease in human apoB-100 in the plasma in all mice, but the rate of clearance was not greater in the immune-competent mice than in the immune-deficient mice. Interestingly, oxidized phospholipid (OxPL) epitopes as detected by the EO6 antibody on the hLDL increased over time, suggesting de novo oxidation of the LDL or transfer of OxPL to the particles. Because the native LDL was not extensively modified, we also examined the clearance of copper OxLDL. Although the extensively OxLDL was cleared faster than the native LDL, there was no difference in the rate of clearance as a function of immune status. There appeared to be some transfer of OxPL to the endogenous murine LDL. Together, these results suggest that oxidation-specific antibodies do not participate to any great extent in the clearance of OxLDL from plasma. However, it is possible that such antibodies may bind to oxidation epitopes and modulate lesion formation within the vessel wall. 相似文献

Raman spectroscopic imaging was used to investigate the uptake of oxidized LDLs (oxLDLs) by human macrophages. To better understand the endocytic pathway and the intracellular fate of modified lipoproteins is of foremost interest with regard to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. To obtain information on the storage process of lipids caused by oxLDL uptake, Raman spectroscopic imaging was used because of its unique chemical specificity, especially for lipids. For the present study, a protocol was established to incorporate deuterated tripalmitate into oxLDL. Subsequently, human THP-1 macrophages were incubated for different time points and their chemical composition was analyzed using Raman spectroscopic imaging. β-Carotene was found to be a reliable marker molecule for the uptake of lipoproteins into macrophages. In addition, lipoprotein administration led to small endocytic vesicles with different concentrations of deuterated lipids within the cells. For the first time, the translocation of deuterated lipids from endocytic vesicles into lipid droplets over time is reported in mature human THP-1 macrophages. 相似文献
