Endostatin significantly reduced atherosclerosis in genetically susceptible mice. One of the main factors associated with atherogenesis is oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which also causes apoptosis of endothelial cells. Therefore, we proposed that the antiatherogenic effect of endostatin was partly associated with its protective effect on the endothelial injury induced by oxidized LDL. To confirm such a hypothesis, we studied the effects of recombinant human endostatin (rhEndo) on the proliferation of cultured endothelial cells exposed to mildly oxidized LDL (mox-LDL), rhEndo did not show an obvious inhibitory effect on the proliferation of rabbit aorta endothelial cells (RAEC) (p > 0.05), while mox-LDL inhibited their proliferation (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05). Interestingly, rhEndo seemed to antagonize the role of mox-LDL in inhibiting the proliferation of RAEC. rhEndo seemed, thus, to be beneficial to the proliferating endothelial cells, suggesting that it protects RAECs from the injury caused by mox-LDL. The activity of rhEndo in endothelial cells may possibly result from the interaction of different factors in cell signaling, which remains to be further elucidated.

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
