Glycoxidized low-density lipoprotein downregulates endothelial nitricoxide synthase in human coronary cells.
OBJECTIVES We examined the hypothesis that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that is both oxidized and glycosylated potently downregulates the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase III (NOSIII) in human coronary endothelial cells. BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is accompanied by both oxidation and glycosylation of LDL, but the potential interaction of these processes or the pathophysiolog...
متن کاملPomegranate juice reduces oxidized low-density lipoprotein downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in human coronary endothelial cells.
We examined the hypothesis that pomegranate juice (PJ) can revert the potent downregulation of the expression of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (NOSIII) induced by oxidized low-density liporotein (oxLDL) in human coronary endothelial cells. Western blot and Northern blot analyses showed a significant decrease of NOSIII expression after a 24-h treatment with oxLDL. Accordingly, we observed a ...
متن کاملOxidized low density lipoprotein impairs endothelial progenitor cells by regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is one of the most important risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Here, we study the impact of OxLDL on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and determine whether OxLDL affects EPCs by an inhibitory effect on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). It was found that OxLDL decreased EPC survival and impaired its adhesive, migratory, and tube-formation...
متن کاملAtorvastatin downregulates BMP-2 expression induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) plays a key role both in vascular development and pathophysiological processes. However, the effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) combined with atorvastatin on BMP-2 expression are entirely unknown in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The present study investigates the effects of ox-LDL on BMP-2 expression. Furthermo...
متن کاملAldosterone Induces Oxidative Stress Via NADPH Oxidase and Downregulates the Endothelial NO Synthesase in Human Endothelial Cells
Aldosterone is traditionally viewed as a hormone regulating electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis. Recent studies suggest that Aldo can cause microvascular damage, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. However, its exact cellular mechanisms remain obscure. This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Aldo on superoxide production in human umbilical artery endothelial cel...
