Shear stress influences spatial variations in vascular Mn-SOD expression: implication for LDL nitration.
Fluid shear stress modulates vascular production of endothelial superoxide anion (O2*-) and nitric oxide (*NO). Whether the characteristics of shear stress influence the spatial variations in mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) expression in vasculatures is not well defined. We constructed a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model simulating spatial variations in ...

متن کاملHuman coronary smooth muscle cells internalize versican-modified LDL through LDL receptor-related protein and LDL receptors.
Versican-like proteoglycans are the main component of the intimal extracellular matrix interacting with low density lipoprotein (LDL). The aim of this study has been to investigate the receptors involved in versican-modified LDL uptake by human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We have found that versican-LDL interaction leads to the following: (1) monomeric LDL particles that are similar i...
متن کاملLDL receptor-related protein mediates uptake of aggregated LDL in human vascular smooth muscle cells.
Foam cell formation is a key event in the onset and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. We have previously reported that internalization of aggregated low density lipoproteins (agLDLs) by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) produces cholesteryl ester (CE) accumulation in these cells. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) med...
متن کاملMutation in EGFP domain of LDL receptor-related protein 6 impairs cellular LDL clearance.
Mutation in the EGFP domain of LDL receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6(R611C)) is associated with hypercholesterolemia and early-onset atherosclerosis, but the mechanism by which it causes disease is not known. Cholesterol uptake was examined in cells from LRP6(+/-) mice and LRP6(R611C) mutation carriers. Splenic B cells of LRP6(+/-) mice have significantly lower LRP6 expression and low-density li...
