Interactions between vascular endothelium and low density lipoprotein (LDL) have been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. The effect of normal and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) on prostaglandin release by cultured adult human saphenous vein endothelial cells was investigated. Ox-LDL induced a rapid release of prostacyclin (PGI2) to levels which were several-fold higher than those observed with control LDL. PGI2 release was concentration-dependent and was biphasic, with a first peak occurring within 30 minutes (followed by a decrease), and a second peak occurring after several hours of incubation. PGI2 production was inhibited by lipoprotein-depleted serum and by indomethacin, an antagonist of cyclooxygenase activity. These cells produced mainly PGF2 alpha, with some PGE2 and PGI2 when stimulated by the ionophore A23187 at confluency. However, among these prostanoids, mainly PGI2 was produced in response to Ox-LDL. The data indicate that Ox-LDL induces the production of PGI2 by human vascular endothelial cells. Since Ox-LDL is cytotoxic, this phenomenon may be a manifestation of an early response to injury.

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
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).
