Activation and deactivation of macrophages are of considerable importance during the development of various disease states, atherosclerosis among others. Macrophage activation is achieved by oxidized lipoproteins (oxLDL) and is determined by oxygen radical (ROS) formation. The oxidative burst was measured by flow cytometry and quantitated by oxidation of the redox-sensitive dye dichlorodihydrof...
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors. One of these is likely to be the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). To further understand the role of SR-BI, we examined the effect of SR-BI ligands on HCVpp and HCVcc infectivity. Oxidized low...
BACKGROUND HIV infection is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and this risk correlates with markers of monocyte activation. We have shown that HIV is associated with a prothrombotic monocyte phenotype, which can be partially mitigated by statin therapy. We therefore explored the relationship between oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) particles and monocyte activation. METHO...
Leukocyte adhesion and subendothelial emigration, constant hallmarks of early atherogenesis, have been ascribed to the action of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). Using intravital fluorescence microscopy in the skinfold-chamber model in hamsters, we have previously shown that systemic administration of oxLDL stimulates leukocyte adhesion in vivo through a mechanism that depends on the g...
An excess number of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) particles is an independent risk for a cardiovascular event in the future. LDL particles diffused into the developing atherosclerotic plaques bind to proteoglycans in the intima, become oxidized and phagocytosed to macrophages. This causes the generation of foam cells, which aggravate the generation of fatty streaks and induce plat...
The oxidative process of LDL particles generates molecules which are structurally similar to platelet-activating factor (PAF), and some effects of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) have been shown to be dependent on PAF receptor (PAFR) activation. In a previous study, we showed that PAFR is required for upregulation of CD36 and oxLDL uptake. In the present study we analyzed the molecular mechanisms activate...
BACKGROUND Cytotoxic oxidized LDL (oxLDL) has been shown to promote apoptosis in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We investigated the localization of oxLDL and its association with apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in early and advanced atherosclerotic lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS Atherosclerotic plaques (n=23) from patients undergoing aortic, carotid, o...
Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is a key mediator in atherogenesis and a marker of coronary artery disease (CAD). Type 2 diabetes is associated with excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Because atherogenesis starts before diabetes is diagnosed, we investigated whether circulating oxLDL levels are increased in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). OxLDL levels were measured in 376 subjects with no...
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 ...
Thickening of the vessel in response to high low density lipoprotein(s) (LDL) levels is a hallmark of atherosclerosis, characterized by increased hyaluronan (HA) deposition in the neointima. Human native LDL trapped within the arterial wall undergoes modifications such as oxidation (oxLDL). The aim of our study is to elucidate the link between internalization of oxLDL and HA production in vitro...
