Differences in the uptake of modified low density lipoproteins by tissue cultured endothelial cells.
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...
Macrophages, unlike most other cells, possess both low density lipoprotein (LDL) and scavenger receptors. The scavenger receptor has been shown to mediate the uptake of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), which ultimately leads to cholesterol loading of the macrophages. The present study was undertaken to define epitopes on ox-LDL that are important for lipoprotein binding to macrophages and to ascertain wh...
The formation of cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells in arterial tissue may occur by the uptake of modified lipoproteins via the scavenger receptor pathway. The macrophage scavenger receptor, also called the acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) receptor, has been reported to recognize Ac-LDL as well as oxidized LDL species such as endothelial cell-modified LDL (EC-LDL). We now repor...
The liver is the major organ responsible for the uptake of modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from the blood circulation, with endothelial and Kupffer cells as major cellular uptake sites. Scavenger-receptors, which include various classes, are held responsible for this uptake. Mice deficient in scavenger-receptor class A types I and II were created and the fate of acetylated LDL (Ac-LDL) i...
We previously showed 1 that a peptide, Ac-hE18A-NH(2), in which the arginine-rich heparin-binding domain of apolipoprotein E (apoE) [residues 141;-150] (LRKLRKRLLR), covalently linked to 18A (DWLKAFYDKVAEKLKEAF; a class A amphipathic helix with high lipid affinity), enhanced LDL uptake and clearance. Because VLDL and remnants contain more cholesterol per particle than LDL, enhanced hepatic clea...
Macrophage binding sites for oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) include class A scavenger receptors (SR-As), the CD-36 molecule, and an additional but hitherto unidentified binding site. Because cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were previously shown to be involved in the cellular uptake of native LDL and lipoprotein(a), several strategies to assess the participation of heparan sulfate (HS) and chondro...
Scavenger receptor expressed by endothelial cells I (SREC-I) is a novel endocytic receptor for acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL). Here we show that SREC-I is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, including macrophages and aortas. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) robustly stimulated the expression of SREC-I in macrophages. In an initial attempt to clarify the role of SREC-I in the uptake of mod...
Current evidence has demonstrated that cholesteryl ester-loaded macrophages are important components of the atherosclerotic lesion. Additional studies have implicated low density lipoproteins (LDL) and circulating monocytes as central to the origin of lipid-laden foam cells found in the arterial wall. This is a result of the finding of accelerated macrophage uptake of LDL chemically modified by...
The aim of this work was to investigate the possible mechanisms for uptake by human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) of low density lipoprotein (LDL) pretreated with human arterial chondroitin-6-SO4-rich proteoglycan (LDL-PG). HMDM were incubated with 125I-labeled tyramine cellobiose-labeled LDL-PG, native LDL, and acetylated LDL (Ac-LDL). The results showed that two to four times more LDL-P...
Endothelial dysfunction, or activation, elicited by oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) or its lipid constituent, has been implicated in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. We have recently identified a C-type lectin-like molecule, designated lectin-like Ox-LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), which acts as a cell-surface receptor for Ox-LDL in cultured vascular endothelial cells. In this study, we provide...
