To examine the effects of lipoproteins on the secretion of endothelin-1 from endothelial cells, we measured immunoreactive (ir) endothelin-1 release from cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the presence or absence of various concentrations of native low density lipoprotein (LDL), oxidized LDL, and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Cultured endothelial cells secreted ir-endothelin-1 into serum-free medium in a time-dependent manner, and the secretion was clearly stimulated following a 15-24-h incubation with 10 micrograms/ml oxidized LDL. The secretion of ir-endothelin-1 increased in a dose-dependent manner after a 24-h incubation with oxidized LDL, while only a high dose of native LDL and VLDL significantly increased ir-endothelin-1 secretion. The release of ir-endothelin-1 stimulated by 20 micrograms/ml oxidized LDL was reproduced by the same concentration of acetylated LDL but not native LDL. These observations indicate that the release of ir-endothelin-1 from endothelial cells is stimulated by lipoproteins, in particular by oxidized LDL, probably through the endothelial scavenger receptor. This increase in ir-endothelin-1 release induced by oxidized LDL may contribute to the development of atherosclerotic vascular lesions.

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.

D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D016232 Endothelins 21-Amino-acid peptides produced by vascular endothelial cells and functioning as potent vasoconstrictors. The endothelin family consists of three members, ENDOTHELIN-1; ENDOTHELIN-2; and ENDOTHELIN-3. All three peptides contain 21 amino acids, but vary in amino acid composition. The three peptides produce vasoconstrictor and pressor responses in various parts of the body. However, the quantitative profiles of the pharmacological activities are considerably different among the three isopeptides.
