To examine mechanisms by which native low-density lipoprotein (n-LDL) perturbs endothelial cell (EC) release of superoxide anion (O2-) and nitric oxide (NO), ECs were incubated with n-LDL at 240 mg cholesterol per deciliter for 4 days with media changes every 24 hours. n-LDL increases EC release of O2- by more than fourfold and increases nitrite production by 57%. In the conditioned media from day-4 incubations, n-LDL increases total nitrogen oxides 20 times control EC (C-EC) levels. However, n-LDL did not alter EC NO synthase (eNOS) enzyme activity as measured by the [3H]citrulline assay. N omega-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, a specific inhibitor of eNOS activity, increases C-EC release of O2- by > 300% but decreases LDL-treated EC (LDL-EC) release by > 95%. L-Arginine inhibits the release of O2- from LDL-ECs by > 95% but did not effect C-EC release of O2-. Indomethacin and SKF 525A partially attenuate LDL-induced increases in O2- production by approximately 50% and 30%, respectively. Thus, n-LDL increases O2- and NO production, which increases the likelihood of the formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a potent oxidant. n-LDL increases the levels of nitrotyrosine, a stable oxidation product of ONOO-, and tyrosine by approximately 50%. In spite of this increase in oxidative metabolism, analysis of thiobarbituric acid substances reveals that no significant changes in the oxidation of n-LDL occur during the 24-hour incubations with ECs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
