High density lipoprotein metabolism in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice.
The LDL receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) play physiological roles in LDL and HDL metabolism in vivo. In this study, we explored HDL metabolism in LDLR-deficient mice in comparison with WT littermates. Murine HDL was radiolabeled in the protein ((125)I) and in the cholesteryl ester (CE) moiety ([(3)H]). The metabolism of (125)I-/[(3)H]HDL was investigated in plasma a...
متن کاملResveratrol protects against diet-induced atherosclerosis by reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and inhibiting inflammation in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Objective(s):Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. However, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. Herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of RES in apolipoprotein E (apo E)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. Materials and Methods: Firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...
متن کاملMacrophage Expression of Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor- Reduces Atherosclerosis in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor–Deficient Mice
Background—The peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor(PPAR ) plays important roles in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. PPAR ligands have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in high-risk subjects. PPAR expression by arterial cells, including macrophages, may exert local antiatherogenic effects independent of plasma lipid changes. Methods and Results—To examine the ...
متن کاملBlockade of Tim-1 and Tim-4 Enhances Atherosclerosis in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Deficient Mice.
OBJECTIVE T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (Tim) proteins are expressed by numerous immune cells, recognize phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells, and function as costimulators or coinhibitors. Tim-1 is expressed by activated T cells but is also found on dendritic cells and B cells. Tim-4, present on macrophages and dendritic cells, plays a critical role in apoptotic cell clearance, regul...
متن کاملLoss of G2A promotes macrophage accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions of low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice.
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is considered a major proatherogenic component of oxidized low density lipoprotein based on its proinflammatory actions in vitro. LPC stimulates macrophage and T-cell chemotaxis via the G protein-coupled receptor G2A and may thus promote inflammatory cell infiltration during atherosclerotic lesion development. However, G2A also mediates proapoptotic effects of LPC ...
