Oxidized low-density lipoprotein promotes mature dendritic cell transition from differentiating monocyte.
Proinflammatory oxidized phospholipids are generated during oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). The production of these proinflammatory oxidized phospholipids is controlled by secreted enzymes that circulate as proteins complexed with LDL and high-density lipoprotein. During the acute phase response to tissue injury, profound changes occur in lipoprotein enzymatic composit...
متن کاملOxidized Low Density Lipoproteins
The direct vasoactive effects of native and oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins as well as their effects on endothelium-dependent relaxations to 5-hydroxytryptamine were studied in isolated rings of pig right coronary artery. Slowly developing contractions were caused by native low density lipoproteins (100 gg protein/ml). The contractions were more pronounced in the absence than in t...
متن کاملCyclosporine and oxidized lipoproteins affect vascular reactivity. Influence of the endothelium.
Cyclosporine and in particular oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins can both exert direct vasoconstricting effects. We hypothesized that coincubation of arteries with low density lipoproteins and cyclosporine would enhance their respective influence on vascular tone. Therefore, we investigated vascular reactivity of isolated intact rabbit renal arteries preincubated with cyclosporine i...
متن کاملOxidized low density lipoprotein-induced senescence of retinal pigment epithelial cells is followed by outer blood-retinal barrier dysfunction.
Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly, which starts from aging processes of retinal pigment epithelial cells. Among variable risk factors in occurrence and progression of age-related macular degeneration, oxidized low density lipoprotein could be causally involved in pathobiological changes of RPE cells. Herein we showed that oxidized low densit...
متن کاملEffects of Lycopene on the Susceptibility of Low-Density Lipoproteins to Oxidative Modification
The intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. To clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification. In this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...
