Differential Trafficking of Oxidized LDL and Oxidized LDL Immune Complexes in Macrophages: Impact on Oxidative Stress
BACKGROUND Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) and oxLDL-containing immune complexes (oxLDL-IC) contribute to formation of lipid-laden macrophages (foam cells). It has been shown that oxLDL-IC are considerably more efficient than oxLDL in induction of foam cell formation, inflammatory cytokines secretion, and cell survival promotion. Whereas oxLDL is taken up by several scavenger receptor...
متن کاملHuman-derived anti-oxidized LDL autoantibody blocks uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages and localizes to atherosclerotic lesions in vivo.
Autoantibodies to oxidation-specific epitopes of low density lipoprotein (LDL), such as malondialdehyde-modified LDL (MDA-LDL), occur in plasma and atherosclerotic lesions of humans and animals. Plasma titers of such antibodies are correlated with atherosclerosis in murine models, and several such autoantibodies have been cloned. However, human-derived monoclonal antibodies to epitopes of oxidi...
متن کاملMinimally oxidized LDL offsets the apoptotic effects of extensively oxidized LDL and free cholesterol in macrophages.
OBJECTIVE Lipid-loaded macrophage-derived foam cells populate atherosclerotic lesions and produce many pro-inflammatory and plaque-destabilizing factors. An excessive accumulation of extensively oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) or free cholesterol (FC), both of which are believed to be major lipid components of macrophages in advanced lesions, rapidly induces apoptosis in macrophages. I...
متن کاملCirculating autoantibodies to oxidized LDL correlate with arterial accumulation and depletion of oxidized LDL in LDL receptor-deficient mice.
Autoantibodies to oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) are elevated in some human populations with increased risk of atherosclerosis. To determine whether autoantibody levels to epitopes of OxLDL reflect the extent of aortic atherosclerosis and the content of OxLDL, we measured IgG and IgM autoantibody titers to malondialdehyde (MDA)-LDL and copper-oxidized LDL (Cu-OxLDL) in 43 LDL receptor...
متن کاملThe preparation of copper-oxidized LDL for the measurement of oxidized LDL antibodies by EIA.
In the present study we try to define the optimal conditions for preparation of copper-oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) to be used for the assay of oxLDL antibodies by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Oxidation of LDL was monitored by measuring the formation of conjugated dienes at 234 nm and the generation of fluorescent products with emission at 430 nm when excitation is performed at 360 nm....
