The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and the endothelial expression of adhesion molecules are key events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study we evaluated the effect of oxidized LDL on the expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The hypothesis that oxidized LDL functions as a prooxidant signal was also evaluated, by studying the effect of different radical-scavenging antioxidants on expression of adhesion molecules. LDL was oxidized by using Cu2+, HUVECs or phospholipase A2 (PLA2)/ soybean lipoxygenase (SLO), the degree of oxidation being measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes (CD). Exposure of 200 micrograms/ml of native LDL to 1 microns Cu2+, HUVECs and to PLA2/ SLO resulted in four- to fivefold higher levels of TBARS and CD than in native LDL. Cu(2+)-(1 microM), HUVEC-, and PLA2/SLO-oxidized LDL caused a dose-dependent, significant increase of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (p < .01). The expression of E-selectin did not change. LDL oxidized with a 2.5 and 5 microM Cu2+ did not increase ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 significantly. Both the Cu(2+)- and HUVEC-oxidized LDL, subjected to dialysis and ultrafiltration, induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression. After incubation with the ultrafiltrate, the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was not significantly different from that obtained with native LDL. LDL pretreated with different antioxidants (vitamin E and probucol) and subjected to oxidation by Cu2+ and HUVECs induced a significantly lower expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 than nonloaded LDL (p < .01). The pretreatment of HUVECs with vitamin E and probucol significantly reduced the expression of VCAM-1 on HUVECs induced by oxidized LDL (p < .01); the effect on ICAM-1 was much less evident. In conclusion, oxidized LDL can induce the expression of different adhesion molecules on HUVECs; this induction can be prevented by pretreating either the LDL or the cells with radical-scavenging antioxidant.

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

D003956 Dialysis A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical

D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
D014471 Umbilical Veins Venous vessels in the umbilical cord. They carry oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the mother to the FETUS via the PLACENTA. In humans, there is normally one umbilical vein. Umbilical Vein,Vein, Umbilical,Veins, Umbilical
