LDL receptor-related protein and the vascular wall: implications for atherothrombosis.
LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is highly expressed in the vascular wall and is mainly associated with macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Overexpression of LRP1 in atherosclerotic lesions has been demonstrated in several animal models and human lesions. Clinical studies have suggested a relation between alterations in LRP1 expression and coronary heart disease. Indeed, ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II upregulates LDL receptor-related protein (LRP1) expression in the vascular wall: a new pro-atherogenic mechanism of hypertension.
AIMS Hypertension is a risk factor for atherothrombotic vascular events. Angiotensin II (Ang II), one of the main vasoactive hormones of the renin-angiotensin system, has been associated with the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, it is not fully known how Ang II contributes to lipid-enriched atherosclerotic lesion formation. In human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), l...
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 کامل17beta-estradiol acts separately on the LDL particle and artery wall to reduce LDL accumulation.
Estrogen replacement therapy has been shown to attenuate atherogenesis, although the mechanisms for this effect are incompletely defined. Previously, we showed that 17-beta estradiol (estradiol) attenuated oxidant stress-induced increases in vascular low density lipoprotein (LDL) accumulation. It was unclear whether estradiol's effect was imparted on the lipoprotein particle or the artery wall....
