چکیده

Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDLox) is believed to be an important contributor to endothelial cytodamage and atherogenesis. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of glutathione (GSH) and GSH-dependent selenoperoxidases in cytoprotection against the damaging effects of LDLox. When irradiated in the presence of a phthalocyanine sensitizing dye, human LDL accumulated chromatographically detectable and iodometrically measurable lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs). Photogenerated LDLox caused lethal damage to bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells in vitro, as determined by lactate dehydrogenase release and inhibition of thiazolyl blue reduction. When depleted of GSH by buthionine sulfoximine treatment, BAE cells became more sensitive to LDLox. Cells grown in 2% serum/DME-HAM's F-12 medium without added selenium [Se(-) cells] exhibited far lower GSH-peroxidase and phospholipid hydroperoxide GSH-peroxidase activities than selenium-supplemented controls [Se(+) cells], and were much more sensitive to oxidative injury induced by t-butyl hydroperoxide, liposomal cholesterol hydroperoxides, and LDLox. Preincubation of LDLox with GSH and Ebselen (a selenoperoxidase mimetic) resulted in a dramatic reduction in both LOOH content and cytotoxicity. Moreover, treating Se(-) cells themselves with Ebselen substantially restored their resistance to LDLox-induced damage. LDLox toxicity to Se(-) cells was strongly inhibited by desferrioxamine and stimulated by ferric-8-hydroxyquinoline (a lipophilic chelate), indicating that iron is an active participant in oxidative damage. These results demonstrate that the GSH-dependent selenoperoxidase(s) play(s) an important role in cellular defense against oxidized low density lipoprotein, presumably by detoxifying lipid hydroperoxides and thereby preventing their iron-catalyzed decomposition to damaging free radical intermediates.

In vitro cell injury by oxidized low density lipoprotein involves lipid hydroperoxide-induced formation of alkoxyl, lipid, and peroxyl radicals.

Mounting evidence supports current theories linking lipoprotein oxidation to atherosclerosis. We sought the cellular biochemical mechanism by which oxidized LDL inflicts cell injury. Inhibitors of candidate pathways of cell death were used to treat human fibroblast target cells exposed to oxidized LDL.. Ebselen, which degrades lipid hydroperoxides, inhibited oxidized LDL toxicity, consistent wi...

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...

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 ...

Hemin: a possible physiological mediator of low density lipoprotein oxidation and endothelial injury.

Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL), formed in vivo from presently unknown reactions, may play a role in atherogenesis. In vitro, transition metals such as iron and copper will facilitate LDL oxidation, but these metals are unlikely to exist in free form in normal body fluids. We have explored the possibility that LDL oxidation may be promoted by heme, a physiologically ubiquitous, hydrophob...

Probucol prevents oxidative injury to endothelial cells.

We evaluated the effect of the antioxidant, probucol, on the cytotoxic effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) or of cumene hydroperoxide (CumOOH) on cultured bovine endothelial cells (EC). The addition of CumOOH to EC caused the release of lactate dehydrogenase and the accumulation of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS), effects that were protected against by preincuba...
