چکیده

Macrophage or macrophage-derived foam cell death is one of the characteristic events in the development of cell-poor lipid-rich cores of the advanced atherosclerotic plaques. Although the in vivo mechanism for the death of macrophages is unclear, one possible candidate for the agent which induces macrophage cell death is oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL). To investigate the mechanism of Ox-LDL-induced macrophage cell death, we have recently employed macrophage cell genetics and isolated mutant cells resistant to the cytotoxic effect of Ox-LDL from mutagenized populations of murine macrophage-derived J774 cells (Hakamata, H., Miyazaki, A., Sakai, M., Matsuda, H., Suzuki, H., Kodama, T., and Horiuchi, S. (1998) J. Lipid Res. 39, 482-494). The results obtained showed that one mutant form, JO21b cells, was characterized by reduced expression of type I and type II class A macrophage scavenger receptors (MSR-AI/AII) with a concomitant decrease in the uptake of Ox-LDL. Moreover, peritoneal macrophages obtained from MSR-AI/AII-knockout mice showed a higher resistance to the cytotoxic effect of Ox-LDL compared to those of their wild-type littermates. From these results, we have concluded that Ox-LDL cytotoxicity to macrophages is enhanced by effective endocytic uptake of Ox-LDL through MSR-AI/AII. These findings imply a possibility that formation of the cell-poor lipid-rich core is also enhanced by MSR-AI/AII-mediated uptake of Ox-LDL and subsequent macrophage cell death in atherosclerotic lesions.

Compare the Effect of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein on the Expression of CD36 and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma

Background: There is evidence that CD36 promotes foam cell formation through internalizing oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) into macrophages therefore, it plays a key role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In addition, CD36 expression seems to be mediated by nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of ...

[Effects of low density lipoprotein and oxidized low density lipoprotein on the cytotoxic activity of Asp-hemolysin to murine macrophages].

We examined the effects of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) on the cytotoxic activity of Asp-hemolysin from Aspergillus fumigatus Fresenius-Muramatsu strain to mouse peritoneal macrophages (M phi). The inhibitory effects of LDL and Ox-LDL on the cytotoxic activity of Asp-hemolysin to M phi increased in a dose-dependent manner, and the effect of Ox-LDL was greater th...

The class A macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR-A) is a multifunctional trimeric glycoprotein involved in innate immune response as well as the development of lipid-laden foam cells during atherosclerosis. The MSR ligand, oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL), is known to be cytotoxic to macrophages and other cell types. This study examined whether MSR mediates or modulates oxLDL-induced apop...

The Effect of Adiponectin on Osteonectin Gene Expression by Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein-Treated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Osteonectin is a bone- associated protein involved in vascular calcification. Adiponectin may protect against cardiovascular disease but possible effects on vascular calcification have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulatory effect of adiponectin on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL)- induced expression of osteonectin in human aorta vascular smooth mus...

Effect of Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein on the Expression of Runx2 and SPARC Genes in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Background: Vascular calcification is an important stage in atherosclerosis. During this stage, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) synthesize many osteogenic factors such as osteonectin (encoded by SPARC). Oxidative stress plays a critical role in atherosclerosis progression, and its accumulation in the vascular wall stimulates the development of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. The...
