Vastatins inhibit cholesterol ester accumulation in human monocyte-derived macrophages.
Human monocyte-derived macrophages were incubated for 48 hours in Medium 199 with 1% human serum albumin, and with 100 micrograms acetyl low density lipoprotein (LDL) or beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL), with or without various concentrations of compactin, lovastatin, simvastatin, or pravastatin. The mass of free (FC) and esterified (CE) cholesterol was determined, as well as the i...
متن کاملMalondialdehyde alteration of low density lipoproteins leads to cholesteryl ester accumulation in human monocyte-macrophages.
Glutaraldehyde treatment of (125)I-labeled low density lipoprotein ((125)I-native-LDL) produced a modified LDL ((125)I-glut-LDL) with a molecular weight of 10 x 10(6) or more. Malondialdehyde treatment of (125)I-native-LDL produced a product ((125)I-MDA-LDL) with a molecular weight not appreciably different from that of the original lipoprotein. However, the electrophoretic mobility of MDA-LDL ...
متن کاملLymphocyte-conditioned medium protects human monocyte-macrophages from cholesteryl ester accumulation.
Exposure of human monocyte-macrophages to as little as 50 microliters of cultured medium from lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A (Con A) resulted in a dramatic decrease in the activities of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor pathway, the LDL-dextran sulfate pathway, and the scavenger receptor pathway. This effect was not seen when the monocyte-macrophages were exposed to culture m...
متن کاملEstrogen and progesterone reduce lipid accumulation in human monocyte-derived macrophages: a sex-specific effect.
BACKGROUND Males have an earlier onset and greater prevalence of clinical atherosclerosis than age-matched females, which is consistent with an atheroprotective effect of the female sex steroids, estrogen and progesterone. We therefore examined the effects of estrogen and progesterone on human foam cell formation, a key early event in atherogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS Monocytes from healthy ...
