AIMS Modification of lipoproteins plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) has a number of pro-inflammatory effects, whereas immunization with various forms of oxLDL is able to reduce atherosclerosis. The uptake of modified LDL by dendritic cells (DCs) and the presentation of epitopes thereof may form an important step i...
OBJECTIVE Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation requires the coactivation of various signaling pathways, namely sphingomyelin/ceramide/sphingosine-1-phosphate, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K) pathways. This study aimed to clarify the respective role and the hypothetical cross-talk between sphingomy...
OBJECTIVE Deletion of the mitochondrial gene p66(Shc) protects from endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic plaque formation in mice fed a high-fat diet. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this beneficial effect have not yet been delineated. The present study was designed to elucidate the proatherogenic mechanisms by which p66(Shc) mediates oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)...
In this study, we analyzed the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on expression of the lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) receptor-1 LOX-1 and on oxLDL uptake in primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). LOX-1 mRNA was quantified by standard-calibrated competitive RT-PCR, LOX-1 protein expression by Western analysis and endothelial oxLDL uptake using DiI-l...
Oxidized low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) participate in atherosclerosis plaque formation, rupture, and subsequent thrombosis. Because oxLDL are toxic to cultured cells and Bcl-2 protein prevents apoptosis, the present work aimed to study whether Bcl-2 may counterbalance the toxicity of oxLDL. Two experimental model systems were used in which Bcl-2 levels were modulated: 1) lymphocytes in which...
Oxidative stress plays an important role in carcinogenesis, but few epidemiologic studies have examined associations with risk of colorectal cancer. Relationships between serum levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and oxLDL antibody (oLAB) and colorectal cancer risk were investigated in a case-control study nested in the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Ri...
While Ca2+ has been proposed to be a messenger in OxLDL-induced cell death, few studies have addressed the possibility that it may influence the occurrence of apoptosis and necrosis of macrophages induced by OxLDL in virtue of change of transmembrane Ca2+ gradient including that across plasma membrane and intracellular organelle membranes. In this paper, various lipophilic Ca2+ fluorescent indi...
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a potent inducer of apoptosis for vascular cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that the expression of death mediators, including p53, Fas, and Fas ligand (FasL) was substantially upregulated by oxLDL in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The induction of these death mediators was time dependent and was accompanied by an increase in ...
OxLDL is recognized by macrophage scavenger receptors, including CD36; we have recently found that Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor (PAFR) is also involved. Since PAFR in macrophages is associated with suppressor function, we examined the effect of oxLDL on macrophage phenotype. It was found that the presence of oxLDL during macrophage differentiation induced high mRNA levels to IL-10, manno...
Late-outgrowth endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are stress-resistant and responsible for reparative functions in the cardiovascular system. Oxidized-LDL (oxLDL) plays a critical role in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis. However, it is largely unknown what the impacts of oxLDL are on late-outgrowth EPCs. This study aimed to investigate the concentration-related effects of oxLDL on EPC func...
