Small-angle x-ray scattering study of human serum low-density lipoproteins with differential reactivity for an arterial proteoglycan.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structure and thermal behavior of human serum low-density lipoproteins showing either a high or a low reactivity against a proteoglycan isolated from human arteries have been found to be different from each other. It is suggested that modifications in the lipoprotein surface structure induced by the physical state of the neutral lipids could modulate the affinity of the macromolecule for the arterial component.

Small-angle X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry studies on reversibly modified human-serum low density lipoproteins.
Small-angle x-ray scattering diagrams of human serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) were recorded at several temperatures in solutions of different freezing points. It was found that modifications of the x-ray patterns observed on cooling the lipoprotein samples below 0 degrees C are due to reversible alterations of the LDL surface structure induced by the freezing process (independent of temper...
متن کاملApplication of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues
ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....
متن کاملNeutron small angle scattering on selectively deuterated human plasma low density lipoproteins. The location of polar phospholipid headgroups.
Human plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) were deuterated in the phospholipid headgroup region by exchange with phosphatidylcholine-N(CD3)3-apolipoprotein A complexes. The exchange was associated with a net transfer of phosphatidylcholine to LDL leading to an increase in total phospholipid content by 27%. Practically all of the endogenous phosphatidylcholine including lysophosphatidylcholine,...
متن کاملThe association between small dense low density lipoprotein,apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio and coronary artery stenosis
Abstract Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
متن کاملInduction of anti-anti-idiotype antibodies against sulfated glycosaminoglycans reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is associated with the early retention of low-density lipoproteins that are trapped in the extracellular matrix of the arterial intima by interaction with glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans. Mutant mouse/human chimeric antibodies of the murine monoclonal antibody P3, which react with N-glycolyl-containing gangliosides and sulfated glycos...
