Oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) can trigger intracellular production of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation (LPO), and is thought to contribute to initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. In order to understand the correlation between oxLDL and macromolecular damage, we measured levels of LPO-derived miscoding etheno-DNA adducts and LPO-modified proteins in cultured human vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells after incubation with oxLDL for up to 48 h. A semi-quantative analysis method for 1, N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (ɛdA) by immunohistochemistry was applied. After oxLDL stimulation, ɛdA-stained nuclei were significantly increased in both endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Similarly, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE)-modified proteins, as analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, were also 3-5 fold increased. It was concluded LPO-derived etheno-DNA adducts and LPO-modified proteins are strongly induced by oxLDL in human vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells. This macromolecular damage may contribute to the dysfunction of arterial endothelium and the onset 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.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
