چکیده

Cells from six human colonie adenocarcinoma lines (CaCo-2, HT29, LS174T, SW480, SW403, and SW1417) and a normal skin fibroblast cell line (AG1519) were assayed in vitro for their ability to use low density lipoprotein (LDL). All tumor cell lines grew well in lipoproteindeficient serum, implying that LDL in culture medium was not critical for cell growth. When cell growth was inhibited with mevinolin, a cholesterol synthesis inhibitor, the addition of LDL to the medium had no effect on the growth of cells from five of six tumor cell lines. CaCo-2 cells showed a moderate reversal while the fibroblast control showed total reversal of inhibition. A monoclonal antibody to bovine/human LDL receptor, used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, indicated that only CaCo-2 cells and human skin fibroblast cells consistently demon strated the presence of LDL receptors. Thus, five of six colon tumor cell lines were unable to overcome a mevinolin block in cholesterol metabo lism indicating that these cells were deficient in LDL receptors.

Lipoprotein lipase mediates an increase in the selective uptake of high density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters by hepatic cells in culture.

In this study the effect of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) on the selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl esters (CE) by hepatic cells was investigated. Human HDL3 (d 1.125-1.21 g/ml) was radiolabeled with 125I in the protein moiety and with 3H in the CE moiety. LPL was prepared from bovine milk. Human hepatocytes in primary culture and human Hep3B hepatoma cells were incubated...

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 ...

Chronic Aerobic Exercise Decreases Lectin-Like Low Density Lipoprotein (LOX-1) Receptor Expression in Heart of Diabetic Rat

Background: Overexpression of lectin-like low density lipoprotein (LOX-1) receptor plays an important role in hyperglycemia-induced vascular complications such as atherosclerosis. Based on the beneficial effects of exercise on preventing cardiovascular complications of diabetes, we aimed to examine the protective effects of aerobic exercise on expression of LOX-1 receptor and production of free...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Iran: A Novel Frameshift Mutation in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) Gene

  Background and Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal trait, which is caused by mutations in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) gene. FH penetrance is about 100% and worldwide prevalence for heterozygous subjects is almost 1 in 500 and for homozygous 1 in 1,000,000. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) due to defective LDLR a...
