Oxidized low density lipoproteins (OxLDL) promote chronic inflammatory responses in the vasculature that give rise to atherosclerotic plaques. Fas ligand (FasL) is naturally expressed on the vascular endothelium where it can induce apoptosis in Fas-expressing immune cells as they enter the vessel wall. Although vascular endothelial cells are normally resistant to Fas-mediated cell death, OxLDL ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell entry is mediated by several cell surface receptors, including scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). Oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) inhibits the interaction between HCV and SR-BI in a noncompetitive manner. We tested whether serum oxLDL levels correlate with sustained virologic response (SVR) rates after interferon-based treatment of...
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) impairs NO signaling and endothelial function, and contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Arginase reciprocally regulates NO levels in endothelial cells by competing with NO synthase for the substrate l-arginine. In human aortic endothelial cells, OxLDL stimulation increased arginase enzyme activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Argi...
BACKGROUND Activated T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) are colocalized in atherosclerotic plaques in association with plaque rupture. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes immune activation and inflammation. We studied the effects of statins (atorvastatin and simvastatin) on human DC maturation and T-cell activation. METHODS AND RESULTS Human peripheral blood monocytes were differ...
OBJECTIVE A growing body of evidence indicates that platelets contribute to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis by modulating immune responses. We aimed to elucidate the effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) on platelet-monocyte interactions and the consequences of these interactions on platelet phagocytosis, chemokine release, monocyte extravasation, and foam cell format...
CD36, a major adhesion molecule expressed by monocytes/macrophages, plays a key role in the binding and internalization of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL). This adhesion molecule, a member of an important scavenger receptor family, contains a very short C-terminal cytoplasmic tail that is known to induce intracellular signalling events. However, the domains on the cytoplasmic tail invo...
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays a key role in the development of atherogenesis, partly by causing injury to vascular cells. However, different preparations of LDL, methods of oxidation, and/or active components often produce cellular effects of various degrees. To explore the quantitative relationship between dose and level of oxidation of the oxLDL utilized, we employed combinat...
The effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and its major lipid constituent lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on Ca(2+) entry were investigated in cultured human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) using fura-2 fluorescence and patch-clamp methods. OxLDL or LPC increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and the increase of [Ca(2+)](i) by OxLDL or by LPC was inhibited b...
OBJECTIVES We examined the relationship between coronary endothelium-dependent vasodilation in response to bradykinin (BK) and plasma levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in subjects with normal coronary arteries. BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the plasma oxLDL level is a determinant of coronary endothelial function. Bradykinin plays an important role in regulating resting cor...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide, closely followed by cancer. To investigate impact breast cancer cell lines (SKBR3, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231) on endothelial adhesion, a blended medium containing 30% breast-cancer-conditioned was prepared. This then exposed to human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) monocytes (THP-1) for 48 h. Homemade oxidized low-density lipoproteins...
