Punicalagin Induces Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein Influx to Macrophages
High levels of circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are a primary initiating event in the development of atherosclerosis. Recently, the antiatherogenic effect of polyphenols has been shown to be exerted via a mechanism unrelated to their antioxidant capacity and to stem from their interaction with specific intracellular or plasma proteins. In this study, we investigated the interaction of ...
متن کاملRegulation of Low Density Lipoprotein Receptors
Membranes prepared from the adrenal gland of mice and rats possess high affinity binding sites that recognize '261-labeled human low density lipoprotein (LDL). These binding sites resemble the functional LDL receptors that mediate the uptake of LDL by cultured mouse and bovine adrenal cells. The number of LDL binding sites per mg of membrane protein increased 2to 5-fold over 24 h when mice or r...
متن کاملWhole-Cell Analysis of Low-Density Lipoprotein Uptake by Macrophages Using STEM Tomography
Nanoparticles of heavy materials such as gold can be used as markers in quantitative electron microscopic studies of protein distributions in cells with nanometer spatial resolution. Studying nanoparticles within the context of cells is also relevant for nanotoxicological research. Here, we report a method to quantify the locations and the number of nanoparticles, and of clusters of nanoparticl...
متن کاملNeutron scattering study of human serum low density lipoprotein.
Regions of different proton density in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle from human serum have been determined by neutron scattering. From measurements in various H2O/D2O mixtures, the LDL particle appears to be quasi-spherical, with the centers of gravity of the hydrocarbon and polar regions coinciding. The average volume occupied by a particle was found to be 3.2 X 10-6 A-3, with the...
متن کاملEvalution of In Vitro Effect of Flavonoids on Human Low-Density Lipoprotein Carbamylation
The non-enzymatic carbamylation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a naturally occurring chemical modification of apolipoprotein B as a result of condensation between lysine residues and cyanate derived from urea. Carbamylated LDL is poorly recognized by LDL receptors and initiates different processes that can be considered proatherogenic. Thus, LDL carbamylation may contribute to the increase...
