BACKGROUND Atherogenic lipoproteins cause injury to the vascular wall in the early phase of atherogenesis. We assessed the effects of native (nLDL) and oxidized (oxLDL) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] on O2- formation and cell death in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and rabbit aorta (RA). RESULTS O2- formation of HUVECs and RA segments was not influenced by nLDL, but was dose dependently increased by oxLDL and was moderately increased by nLp(a). oxLp(a) was the most potent stimulus for O2- formation, increasing it in HUVECs by 356% at 5 micrograms/ml and in RA by 294% at 100 micrograms/ml. Apoptosis was detected by DNA fragmentation and Annexin assay in HUVECs and by TUNEL staining in RA. Incubation of HUVECs and RA with oxLDL, but not nLDL, dose and time dependently induced apoptosis with only a minimal effect on necrosis. nLp(a) elicited a small but significant effect on apoptosis, whereas oxLp(a) induced apoptosis more potently than oxLDL in HUVECs and RA and caused necrotic cell death in HUVECs. Induction of apoptosis by oxLDL and oxLp(a) in RA was enhanced by the superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibitor, diethyl-dithio-carbamate, and was blunted by SOD and catalase in HUVECs and RA, suggesting that O2- formation was involved. The concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine, a lipoprotein oxidation product and stimulus for O2- formation, was significantly enhanced by factor 5 in oxLDL and by factor 7 in oxLp(a) compared with native lipoproteins. CONCLUSIONS Atherogenic lipoproteins stimulate O2- formation and induction of apoptosis in HUVECs and RA, and may thereby influence the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
