Expression of LOX-1 in human mesangial cells is increased by Ox-LDL and IL-1β treatment

چکیده
The present study aimed to determine whether the expression of lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) could be induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in human mesangial cells (HMCs). Oil Red O staining was used to observe the uptake of Ox-LDL by HMCs stimulated with IL-1β, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and western blotting were used to examine the expression of LOX-1 in HMC following Ox-LDL and IL-1β treatment. Uptake of Ox-LDL by HMCs was upregulated upon stimulation with IL-1β. Furthermore, Ox-LDL (10-40 µg/ml) treatment induced LOX-1 mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, when HMCs were treated with IL-1β and Ox-LDL, the expression of LOX-1 was enhanced further. These results indicated that inhibiting LOX-1 expression or inhibiting the Ox-LDL/LOX-1 signaling axis may be a potential novel method for treating renal disease.

Aspirin inhibits ox-LDL-mediated LOX-1 expression and metalloproteinase-1 in human coronary endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND Aspirin is thought to exert salutary effects in vascular disease states by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Endothelial activation, accumulation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and intense inflammation also characterize atherosclerotic plaque in acute myocardial ischemia. Ox-LDL induces expression of lectin-like receptors (LOX-1) on endothelial cells and leads to the exp...

INTRODUCTION: It has been demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGFR-1 and 2) are expressed in human osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes, and that treatment of cultured OA chondrocytes with VEGF enhances production of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-3 but not tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 or -2 [1], suggesting that VEGF and its re...

The endothelial lectinlike, oxidatively (ox-) modified LDL receptor LOX-1 is a critical player in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia. Ox-LDL binding of LOX-1 results in the expression of various adhesion molecules, which attract monocytes to endothelial cells, an initial step in atherogenesis. We wished to examine the role of the ox-LDL/LOX-1 signaling pathway in fibrob...

BACKGROUND Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) accumulation in the atherosclerotic region may enhance plaque instability. Both accumulation of ox-LDL and expression of its lectin-like receptor, LOX-1, have been shown in atherosclerotic regions. This study was designed to examine the role of LOX-1 in the modulation of metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). ...

Native and oxidized (OX) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may contribute to the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this study, we investigated the effects of lipoproteins, including n-LDL and OX-LDL, on the expression of inflammation factors, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), in vivo and in cultured retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. The potential role o...
