Proliferation of macrophages due to the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthesis by oxidized low-density lipoproteins
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is assumed to be a major causal agent in hypercholesteraemia-induced atherosclerosis. Because the proliferation of lipid-loaden macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions has been described, we investigated the dependence of macrophage proliferation on the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) by hypochlorite oxidized LDL. Ox-LDL induces ...
متن کاملIdentification of alpha-chloro fatty aldehydes and unsaturated lysophosphatidylcholine molecular species in human atherosclerotic lesions.
BACKGROUND A role for myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a mediator of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes has recently received considerable attention. Although active MPO and hypochlorite-modified proteins and peptides have been detected in human atherosclerotic lesions, detection of novel chlorinated oxidized lipid species with proatherogenic properties in vivo has not yet been report...
متن کاملVitamin E oxidation in human atherosclerotic lesions.
Oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is a key process in atherogenesis, and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol, TOH) has received attention for its potential to attenuate the disease. Despite this, the type and extent of TOH oxidation and its relationship to lipid oxidation in the vessel wall where lesions develop remain unknown. Therefore, we measured oxidized lipids, TOH, and its oxidation pr...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase and hypochlorite, but not copper ions, oxidize heparin-bound LDL particles and release them from heparin.
A key factor in atherosclerosis is the retention of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the extracellular matrix of the arterial intima, where it binds to the negatively charged glycosaminoglycan chains of proteoglycans. Oxidation may lead to modification of the lysine residues of apolipoprotein B-100 of LDL, which normally mediate the binding of LDL to glycosaminoglycans. Here, we studied whether...
متن کاملLipoxygenase contributes to the oxidation of lipids in human atherosclerotic plaques.
Oxidized LDL is present in human atherosclerotic lesions, but the mechanisms responsible for oxidation in vivo have not been definitively demonstrated. Circumstantial evidence has implicated the enzyme 15-lipoxygenase as a contributor to the formation of oxidized lipids in this disease. To assess whether oxidized lipids are indeed formed by the action of 15-lipoxygenase on polyunsaturated fatty...
