Involvement of the macrophage low density lipoprotein receptor-binding domains in the uptake of oxidized low density lipoprotein.
Macrophages, unlike most other cells, possess both low density lipoprotein (LDL) and scavenger receptors. The scavenger receptor has been shown to mediate the uptake of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), which ultimately leads to cholesterol loading of the macrophages. The present study was undertaken to define epitopes on ox-LDL that are important for lipoprotein binding to macrophages and to ascertain wh...
متن کاملA macrophage receptor that recognizes oxidized low density lipoprotein but not acetylated low density lipoprotein.
The formation of cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells in arterial tissue may occur by the uptake of modified lipoproteins via the scavenger receptor pathway. The macrophage scavenger receptor, also called the acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) receptor, has been reported to recognize Ac-LDL as well as oxidized LDL species such as endothelial cell-modified LDL (EC-LDL). We now repor...
متن کاملParticipation of the arachidonic acid cascade pathway in macrophage binding/uptake of oxidized low density lipoprotein.
Arachidonic acid cascade inhibitors, including phospholipase A2 inhibitors, dexamethasone and quinacrine (mepacrine), cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indomethacin and aspirin, and lipoxygenase inhibitor AA861, prevented foam cell formation and cholesterol accumulation in the incubation of thioglycollate-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages with oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) at 37 degrees C ...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase stimulates the binding and uptake of moderately oxidized low-density lipoprotein by J774 macrophages.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) stimulates the uptake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in different cell types, including macrophages, through bridging of LPL between lipoproteins and extracellular heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPG). Because macrophages produce LPL and because modified lipoproteins are present in the arterial wall in vivo, we wondered whether...
متن کاملThe Effect of ? -Tocopherol on Copper Binding to Low Density Lipoprotein
The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play an important role in atherogenesis. Antioxidants that can prevent LDL oxidation may act as antiatherogens. Our understanding of the mechanism of LDL oxidation and factors that determine its susceptibility to oxidation is still incomplete. Copper is a candidate for oxidizing LDL in atherosclerotic lesions. The binding of copper...
