Uptake of very low density lipoprotein triglyceride by bovine aortic endothelial cells in culture.
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary monolayers of calf aortic endothelial cells were presented with isolated human very low density lipoproteins that had been labeled with radioactive triglyceride. The cells were observed to take up triglyceride over a 24 hr period; incorporation increased with exogenous lipoprotein concentrations, and up to 60% of the triglyceride taken up was converted to other cell lipids within 24 hr. When [2-3H]glyceryl tri[1-14C]oleate-labeled very low density lipoprotein was used, the 3H/14C ratio in the cell triglyceride was always similar to that of the exogenous lipoprotein triglyceride. Moreover, no significant hydrolysis of the exogenous very low density lipoprotein triglyceride was observed during the time of exposure to the cells. Similar experiments using doubly-labeled triglyceride exposed to endothelial cells in triglyceride-phospholipid liposome preparations also resulted in incorporation of the exogenous triglyceride without evidence of extracellular hydrolysis. The results indicate that primary monolayers of endothelial cells in culture are able to incorporate and metabolize very low density lipoprotein triglyceride. However, triglyceride does not appear to be significantly hydrolyzed during uptake, suggesting an absence of lipoprotein lipase activity in these cells.

Oxidation of beta-very low density lipoprotein by endothelial cells enhances its metabolism by smooth muscle cells in culture.
We have previously shown that beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL) incubated with bovine aortic endothelial cells (ECs) is bound and internalized more readily by cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) than is beta-VLDL incubated in the absence of ECs, resulting in enhanced accumulation of cholesterol. To investigate the mechanism by which this occurs, beta-VLDL from hypercho...

Acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) is taken up by bovine aortic and adrenal capillary cells but not by brain capillary cells. This indicates that the uptake of Ac-LDL is not a feature of all types of endothelial cell. A quantitative examination of lipoprotein uptake by flow cytometry showed cells in G2M took up 45% more Ac-LDL than those in G1S. Compared with confluent cultures, sub-co...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) bound to the lumenal surface of vascular endothelial cells is responsible for the hydrolysis of triglycerides in plasma lipoproteins. Studies were performed to investigate whether human plasma lipoproteins and/or free fatty acids would release LPL which was bound to endothelial cells. Purified bovine milk LPL was incubated with cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells ...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-mediated lipolysis of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) has been demonstrated to increase U937 monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of LPL to enhance human monocyte adhesion to bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) in the absence of exogenous lipoproteins. Exposure of BAEC to 1 microgram/ml LPL at 37 degrees C resulte...
متن کاملLipoprotein Lipase Increases Low Density Lipoprotein Retention
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the rate-limiting enzyme for hydrolysis of plasma lipoprotein triglycerides, is a normal constituent of the arterial wall. We explored whether LPL affects (a) lipoprotein transport across bovine aortic endothelial cells or (b) lipoprotein binding to subendothelial cell matrix (retention). When bovine milk LPL was added to endothelial cell monolayers before addition of ...
