Peroxidized unsaturated fatty acids stimulate Toll-like receptor 4 signaling in endothelial cells. Life Sci 2013; 92:984-92. [PMID: 23583568 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2013.03.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2012] [Revised: 03/22/2013] [Accepted: 03/25/2013] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
AIM Although unsaturated fatty acids are assumed to be protective against inflammatory disorders that include a pathway involving Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation, they might actually be toxic because of their high susceptibility to lipid peroxidation. Here we studied the effects of peroxidized unsaturated fatty acids on the TLR4-nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway in endothelial cells. MAIN METHODS Confluent cultured endothelial cells from bovine aorta were incubated for 1h with fatty acids integrated into phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or phosphatidylcholine vesicles without fatty acids were also applied as a positive control or a control for fatty acid groups, respectively. Activation of TLR4 and downstream signaling was assessed by membrane fractionation and Western blotting or immunofluorescent staining. KEY FINDINGS In the same way as LPS, application of sufficiently peroxidized unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid or docosahexaenoic acid, acutely caused TLR4 translocation to caveolae/raft membranes, leading to activation of NF-κB signaling in endothelial cells. In contrast, saturated fatty acids did not show such effects. Applying well-peroxidized unsaturated fatty acids, but not saturated fatty acids, acutely activates the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. SIGNIFICANCE Peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acid is essential for the acute activation of TLR4 by the fatty acids that follow the same pathway as the activation by LPS. Unsaturated fatty acids have been assumed to be protective against inflammatory disorders, and drugs containing unsaturated fatty acids are now developed and provided. Our result suggests that, for inflammatory disorders involving TLR4 signaling, using unsaturated fatty acids as anti-inflammatory drugs may cause contrary effects.

Identification and profiling of targeted oxidized linoleic acid metabolites in rat plasma by quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Biomed Chromatogr 2013; 27:422-32.

Abstract
Linoleic acid (LA) and LA-esters are the precursors of LA hydroperoxides, which are readily converted to 9- and 13-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid (HODE) and 9- and 13-oxo-octadecadienoic acid (oxo ODE) metabolites in vivo. These four oxidized LA metabolites (OXLAMs) have been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions. Therefore, their accurate measurement may provide mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis. Here we present a novel quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOFMS) method for quantitation and identification of target OXLAMs in rat plasma. In this method, the esterified OXLAMs were base-hydrolyzed and followed by liquid-liquid extraction. Quantitative analyses were based on one-point standard addition with isotope dilution. The Q-TOFMS data of target metabolites were acquired and multiple reaction monitoring extracted-ion chromatograms were generated post-acquisition with a 10 ppm extraction window. The limit of quantitation was 9.7-35.9 nmol/L depending on the metabolite. The method was reproducible with a coefficient of variation of <18.5%. Mean concentrations of target metabolites in rat plasma were 57.8, 123.2, 218.1 and 57.8 nmol/L for 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 9-oxoODE and 13-oxoODE, respectively. Plasma levels of total OXLAMs were 456.9 nmol/L, which correlated well with published concentrations obtained by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The concentrations were also obtained utilizing a standard addition curve approach. The calibration curves were linear with correlation coefficients of >0.991. Concentrations of 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 9-oxoODE and 13-oxoODE were 84.0, 138.6, 263.0 and 69.5 nmol/L, respectively, which were consistent with the results obtained from one-point standard addition. Target metabolites were simultaneously characterized based on the accurate Q-TOFMS data. This is the first study of secondary LA metabolites using Q-TOFMS. Published 2012. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

Abstract
The aging phenotype in humans has been thoroughly studied but a detailed metabolic profiling capable of shading light on the underpinning biological processes of longevity is still missing. Here using a combined metabonomics approach compromising holistic (1)H-NMR profiling and targeted MS approaches, we report for the first time the metabolic phenotype of longevity in a well characterized human aging cohort compromising mostly female centenarians, elderly, and young individuals. With increasing age, targeted MS profiling of blood serum displayed a marked decrease in tryptophan concentration, while an unique alteration of specific glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids are seen in the longevity phenotype. We hypothesized that the overall lipidome changes specific to longevity putatively reflect centenarians' unique capacity to adapt/respond to the accumulating oxidative and chronic inflammatory conditions characteristic of their extreme aging phenotype. Our data in centenarians support promotion of cellular detoxification mechanisms through specific modulation of the arachidonic acid metabolic cascade as we underpinned increased concentration of 8,9-EpETrE, suggesting enhanced cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity. Such effective mechanism might result in the activation of an anti-oxidative response, as displayed by decreased circulating levels of 9-HODE and 9-oxoODE, markers of lipid peroxidation and oxidative products of linoleic acid. Lastly, we also revealed that the longevity process deeply affects the structure and composition of the human gut microbiota as shown by the increased extrection of phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) and p-cresol sulfate (PCS) in urine of centenarians. Together, our novel approach in this representative Italian longevity cohort support the hypothesis that a complex remodeling of lipid, amino acid metabolism, and of gut microbiota functionality are key regulatory processes marking exceptional longevity in humans.

Abstract
This paper describes the purification of yolk proteins, which are important for the reproduction of egg-laying animals, and the structural characterization of two vitellogenins, VT1 and OTI-VIT-6, of the nematode Oscheius tipulae. O. tipulae is an alternative model organism to its relative, the widely used Caenorhabditis elegans, and is a good model to understand reproduction in insect parasitic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis. The native purified O. tipulae vitellogenin is composed of three polypeptides (VT1, VT2 and VT3), whereas in C. elegans, vitellogenin is composed of four polypeptides. The gene (Oti-vit-1) encoding yolk polypeptide VT1 has been recently identified in the genome of O. tipulae. Immunoblotting and N-terminal sequencing confirmed that VT1 is indeed coded by Oti-vit-1. Utilizing the same experimental approaches, we showed that the polypeptides VT2 and VT3 are derived from the proteolytic processing of the C- and N-terminal portions of the precursor OTI-VIT-6, respectively. We also showed that the recombinant polypeptide (P40), corresponding to the N-terminal sequence of OTI-VIT-6, preferentially interacts with a 100-kDa polypeptide found in adult worm extracts, as we have previously shown for the native vitellins of O. tipulae. Using the putative nematode vitellogenin amino acid sequences available in the UniProtKB database, we constructed a phylogenetic tree and showed that the O. tipulae vitellogenins characterized in this study are orthologous to those of the Caenorhabditis spp. Together, these results represent the first structural and functional comparative study of nematode yolk proteins outside the Caenorhabditis genus and provide insight into the evolution of these lipoproteins within the Nematode Phylum.

Abstract
Recently, the biological roles of lipid peroxidation products have received a great deal of attention not only for elucidating pathological mechanisms but also for practical clinical applications as biomarkers. In the last 50 years, lipid peroxidation has been the subject of extensive studies from the viewpoints of mechanisms, dynamics, product analysis, involvement in diseases, inhibition, and biological signaling. Lipid hydroperoxides are formed as major primary products, but they are substrates for various enzymes and they also undergo various secondary reactions. During this decade, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid from linoleates, F2-isoprostanes from arachidonates, and neuroprostanes from docosahexanoates have been proposed as biomarkers for evaluating oxidative stress in vivo and its related diseases. The implications of lipid peroxidation products in vivo will be briefly reviewed and their practical applications will be discussed.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease, frequently associated with hypertension and renal inflammation. ω-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oil (FO) improve kidney function in animal models, but have inconsistent metabolic effects in humans. Oxylipin profiles in serum from IgAN patients supplemented with either FO or corn oil (CO) placebo were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. EPA cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolites, and EPA and DHA epoxides and diols were increased in response to FO supplementation, as were total epoxides and epoxide/diol ratios. Several of these metabolites were drivers of separation as assessed by multivariate analysis of FO patients pre- vs. post-supplementation, including 17,18-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid, prostaglandin D3, prostagalandin E3, Resolvin E1, 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid, and 10(11)-epoxydocosapentaenoic acid. In patients whose proteinuria improved, plasma total oxylipins as well as several hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids, and leukotriene B4 metabolites were among the metabolites that were significantly lower than in patients whose proteinuria either did not improve or worsened. These data support the involvement of oxylipins in the inflammatory component of IgAN as well as the potential use of oxylipin profiles as biomarkers and for assessing responsiveness to ω-3 fatty acid supplementation in IgAN patients.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-independent lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is a member of the phospholipase A(2) superfamily with a distinguishing characteristic of high specificity for oxidatively modified sn-2 fatty acid residues in phospholipids that has been especially well characterized for peroxidized species of phosphatidylcholines (PC). The ability of Lp-PLA(2) to hydrolyze peroxidized species of phosphatidylserine (PS), acting as a recognition signal for clearance of apoptotic cells by professional phagocytes, as well as the products of the reaction has not been investigated. We performed liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry-based structural characterization of oxygenated, hydrolyzed molecular species of PS-containing linoleic acid in either the sn-2 position (C(18:0)/C(18:2)) or in both sn-1 and sn-2 positions (C(18:2)/C(18:2)), formed in the cytochrome c- and H(2)O(2)-driven enzymatic oxidation reaction. Cytochrome c has been chosen as a catalyst of peroxidation reactions because of its likely involvement in PS oxidation in apoptotic cells. We found that Lp-PLA(2) catalyzed the hydrolysis of both nontruncated and truncated (oxidatively fragmented) species of oxidized PS species, albeit with different efficiencies, and performed detailed characterization of the major reaction products: oxygenated derivatives of linoleic acid as well as nonoxygenated and oxygenated species of lyso-PS. Among linoleic acid products, derivatives oxygenated at the C(9) position, including 9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), a potent ligand of G protein-coupled receptor G2A, were the most abundant. Computer modeling of interactions of Lp-PLA(2) with different PS-oxidized species indicated that they are able to bind in the proximity (<5 Å) of Ser273 and His351 of the catalytic triad. For 9-hydroxy and 9-hydroperoxy derivatives of oxidized PS, the sn-2 ester bond was positioned very close (<3 Å) to the Ser273 residue, a nucleophile directly attacking the sn-2 bond, thus favoring the hydrolysis reaction. We suggest that oxidatively modified free fatty acids and lyso-PS species generated by Lp-PLA(2) may represent important signals facilitating and regulating the execution of apoptotic and phagocytosis programs essential for the control of inflammation.

Abstract
Linoleic acid (LA) is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in human diets, a major component of human tissues, and the direct precursor to the bioactive oxidized LA metabolites (OXLAMs), 9- and 13 hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid (9- and 13-HODE) and 9- and 13-oxo-octadecadienoic acid (9- and 13-oxoODE). These four OXLAMs have been mechanistically linked to pathological conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease to chronic pain. Plasma OXLAMs, which are elevated in Alzheimer's dementia and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, have been proposed as biomarkers useful for indicating the presence and severity of both conditions. Because mammals lack the enzymatic machinery needed for de novo LA synthesis, the abundance of LA and OXLAMs in mammalian tissues may be modifiable via diet. To examine this issue in humans, we measured circulating LA and OXLAMs before and after a 12-week LA lowering dietary intervention in chronic headache patients. Lowering dietary LA significantly reduced the abundance of plasma OXLAMs, and reduced the LA content of multiple circulating lipid fractions that may serve as precursor pools for endogenous OXLAM synthesis. These results show that lowering dietary LA can reduce the synthesis and/or accumulation of oxidized LA derivatives that have been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions. Future studies evaluating the clinical implications of diet-induced OXLAM reductions are warranted.

Abstract
Exposures to cadmium, lead, and mercury are associated with adverse health effects, including cardiovascular disease, which may be promoted by lipid peroxidation. The authors examined cadmium, lead, and mercury in relation to plasma levels of F(2)-8α isoprostanes (isoprostane), 9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), 13-hydroxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid (13-HODE), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in 252 women from western New York State (2005-2007). Healthy premenopausal women were followed for ≤2 menstrual cycles, with biomarkers of lipid peroxidation being assessed ≤8 times per cycle. Metals were measured at baseline in whole blood. Linear mixed models were used to estimate the association between cadmium, lead, and mercury and lipid peroxidation biomarkers. Median cadmium, lead, and mercury levels were 0.30 μg/L, 0.86 μg/dL, and 1.10 μg/L, respectively. Blood cadmium, lead, and mercury were not associated with increases in isoprostane, TBARS, 9-HODE, or 13-HODE levels. Isoprostane levels decreased 6.80% (95% confidence interval: -10.40, -3.20) per 1% increase in mercury. However, after adjustment for a simulated strong confounding factor, such as precisely measured fish consumption, the observed association was attenuated, suggesting that this unexpected association could be attributable to unmeasured confounding. In this population of healthy premenopausal women with low exposure levels, cadmium, lead, and mercury were not associated with elevated lipid peroxidation biomarkers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nickel oxide (NiO) is an important industrial material, and it is also a harmful agent. The toxicity of NiO is size-related: nanoparticles are more toxic than fine-particles. The toxic mechanism induced by NiO nanoparticles remains unexplained, and the relationship between in vitro and in vivo NiO toxicity results is unclear. In the present study, we focused on the oxidative stress caused by NiO nanoparticles by examining and comparing in vitro and in vivo acute responses induced by NiO nanoparticles. METHODS Cellular responses induced by black NiO nanoparticles with a primary particle size of 20 nm, were examined in human lung carcinoma A549 cells. In vivo responses were examined by instillation of NiO nanoparticles into rat trachea. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected after intratracheal instillation at different time points, and concentrations of lipid peroxide heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), surfactant protein-D (SP-D) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in BALF were measured. RESULTS The levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation in A549 cells increased with increasing exposure to NiO nanoparticles, and increases in gene expressions of HO-1 and SP-D were observed in A549 cells. The lipid peroxide level in BALF significantly increased after 24 h instillation but decreased three days later. LDH leakage was also observed three days later. CONCLUSIONS NiO nanoparticles induce oxidative stress-related lung injury. In vivo and in vitro oxidative stress was induced resulting in activation of antioxidant systems. Based on these responses, we conclude that the results of the in vivo and in vitro studies tend to correspond.

Abstract
Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (HODEs) are stable oxidation products of linoleic acid, the generation of which is increased where oxidative stress is increased, such as in diabetes. In early atherosclerosis, 13-HODE is generated in macrophages by 15-lipoxygenase-1. This enhances protective mechanisms through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-g activation leading to increased clearance of lipid and lipid-laden cells from the arterial wall. In later atherosclerosis, both 9-HODE and 13-HODE are generated nonenzymatically. At this stage, early protective mechanisms are overwhelmed and pro-inflammatory effects of 9-HODE, acting through the receptor GPR132, and increased apoptosis predominate leading to a fragile, acellular plaque. Increased HODE levels thus contribute to atherosclerosis progression and the risk of clinical events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Better understanding of the role of HODEs may lead to new pharmacologic approaches to modulate their production or action, and therefore lessen the burden of atherosclerotic disease in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex pathologic process in which chemokine-mediated leukocyte accumulation in arterial walls is thought to be an important mechanism of pathogenesis. An interesting exception to this paradigm is the chemokine CXCL16, also known as the scavenger receptor for phosphatidylserine and oxidized low density lipoprotein, which is highly expressed in mouse and human atherosclerotic lesions, yet appears to be atheroprotective. In this study, we address potential mechanisms responsible for this activity. Consistent with its presence in atherosclerotic plaque, we found that atherogenic lipids up-regulated CXCL16 in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. However, the same lipids down-regulated the CXCL16-targeted protease ADAM10, resulting in preferential expression of CXCL16 as the transmembrane form, not the shed form. Although transmembrane CXCL16 is known to mediate cell-cell adhesion by binding its receptor CXCR6, and atherogenic lipids are known to stimulate macrophage adhesion to coronary artery smooth muscle cells, we found that heterotypic adhesion of these cell types occurred in a CXCL16-independent manner. Instead we found that in macrophages, CXCL16 promoted internalization of both oxidized low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein, as well as release of cholesterol. Moreover, CXCL16 deficiency in macrophages interfered with oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced up-regulation of atheroprotective genes: adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 and G1 as well as apolipoprotein E. Thus, our findings support the hypothesis that CXCL16 mediates atheroprotection through its scavenger role in macrophages and not by cell-cell adhesion.

Abstract
Recent genetic studies have implicated pro-inflammatory chemokines and chemokine receptors in atherogenesis. Studies at the molecular and cellular levels have suggested specific atherogenic mechanisms for two chemokine-chemokine receptor pairs, CCL2-CCR2 and CX3CL1-CX3CR1, involving differential receptor regulation by the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. This pathway is triggered by oxidized proatherogenic lipids, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein and linoleic acid derivatives, which promote differentiation of CCR2(hi)CX3CR1(lo) human monocytes to CCR2(lo)CX3CR1(hi) macrophages that adhere to coronary artery smooth muscle cells in a CX3CR1- and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-dependent manner. Switching CX3CR1 on and CCR2 off in vivo may result in cessation of CCR2-dependent migration and activation of CX3CR1-dependent retention that together may promote foam cell accumulation in the vessel wall.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and premature mortality in diabetes. HDL plays an important role in limiting vascular damage by removing cholesterol and cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides from oxidized low density lipoprotein and foam cells. Methionine (Met) residues in apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major apolipoprotein of HDL, reduce peroxides in HDL lipids, forming methionine sulfoxide [Met(O)]. We examined the extent and sites of Met(O) formation in apoA-I of HDL isolated from plasma of healthy control and type 1 diabetic subjects to assess apoA-I exposure to lipid peroxides and the status of oxidative stress in the vascular compartment in diabetes. Three tryptic peptides of apoA-I contain Met residues: Q(84)-M(86)-K(88), W(108)-M(112)-R(116), and L(144)-M(148)-R(149). These peptides and their Met(O) analogs were identified and quantified by mass spectrometry. Relative to controls, Met(O) formation was significantly increased at all three locations (Met(86), Met(112), and Met(148)) in diabetic patients. The increase in Met(O) in the diabetic group did not correlate with other biomarkers of oxidative stress, such as N(epsilon)-malondialdehyde-lysine or N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine, in plasma or lipoproteins. The higher Met(O) content in apoA-I from diabetic patients is consistent with increased levels of lipid peroxidation products in plasma in diabetes. Using the methods developed here, future studies can address the relationship between Met(O) in apoA-I and the risk, development, or progression of the vascular complications of diabetes.

Abstract
High performance liquid chromatography/electron spin resonance/mass spectrometry (HPLC/ EPR/MS) analyses of radicals is performed for the reaction mixture of 13-hydroperoxy-(9Z,11E)-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid (13ZE-OOH) with ferrous ions under an aerobic condition, or an anaerobic condition. Radicals are identified from 13ZE-OOH by using high performance liquid chromatography/electron spin resonance spectrometry (HPLC/EPR) and HPLC/EPR/MS. The pentyl radical and isomers of epoxylinoleic acid radicals from 13ZE-OOH are identified under an anaerobic condition and the 7-carboxyheptyl radical and pentyl radical from 13ZE-OOH under an aerobic condition. These results suggest that the formation of the respective radical species depends to a great extent on oxygen concentration in the reaction mixtures.

Abstract
Any change in the cell membrane structure activates lipoxygenases (LOX). LOX transform polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to lipidhydroperoxide molecules (LOOHs). When cells are severely wounded, this physiological process switches to a non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) process producing LOO* radicals. These oxidize nearly all-biological molecules such as lipids, sugars, and proteins. The LOO* induced degradations proceed by transfer of the radicals from cell to cell like an infection. The chemical reactions induced by LO* and LOO* radicals seem to be responsible for aging and induction of age dependent diseases.Alternatively, LO* and LOO* radicals are generated by frying of fats and involve cholesterol-PUFA esters and thus induce atherogenesis. Plants and algae are exposed to LOO* radicals generating radiation. In order to remove LOO* radicals, plants and algae transform PUFAs to furan fatty acids, which are incorporated after consumption of vegetables into mammalian tissues where they act as excellent scavengers of LOO* and LO* radicals.

Abstract
We measured 16 nonesterified oxygenated fatty acid derivatives (oxylipids) in plasmas from seven human subjects. Two arterial samples from each subject were analyzed, drawn approximately 2h apart. We observed a marked increase in levels of most oxylipids in the second sample, as high as 470-fold. Between the first and second samples, subjects received approximately 800-1000 IU of heparin to prevent clotting in intravascular catheters. We postulate that heparin activated lipoprotein lipases, which, in turn, released oxylipids from triglycerides and phospholipids in plasma lipoproteins. Some of that lipolysis may have occurred during sample storage. Measurements of nonesterified lipids in human plasma may be distorted if heparin is administered to subjects before blood is drawn and if lipase inhibitors are omitted from stored samples.

Abstract
Recent genetic evidence has implicated the adhesive chemokine CX3CL1 and its leukocyte receptor CX3CR1 in atherosclerosis. We previously proposed a mechanism involving foam cell anchorage to vascular smooth muscle cells because: 1) CX3CL1 and CX3CR1 are expressed by both cell types in mouse and human atherosclerotic lesions; 2) foam cells are reduced in lesions in cx3cr1(-/-)apoE(-/-) mice; and 3) proatherogenic lipids (oxidized low density lipoprotein [oxLDL] and oxidized linoleic acid derivatives) induce adhesion of primary human macrophages to primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) in vitro in a macrophage CX3CR1-dependent manner. Here we analyze this concept further by testing whether atherogenic lipids regulate expression and function of CX3CL1 and CX3CR1 on CASMCs. We found that both oxLDL and oxidized linoleic acid derivatives indirectly up-regulated CASMC CX3CL1 at both the protein and mRNA levels through an autocrine feedback loop involving tumor necrosis factor alpha production and NF-kappaB signaling. Oxidized lipids also up-regulated CASMC CX3CR1 but through a different mechanism. Oxidized lipid stimulation also increased adhesion of macrophages to CASMCs when CASMCs were stimulated prior to assay, and a synergistic pro-adhesive effect was observed when both cell types were prestimulated. Selective inhibition with a CX3CL1-specific blocking antibody indicated that adhesion was strongly CASMC CX3CL1-dependent. These findings support the hypothesis that CX3CR1 and CX3CL1 mediate heterotypic anchorage of foam cells to CASMCs in the context of atherosclerosis and suggest that this chemokine/chemokine receptor pair may be considered as a pro-inflammatory target for therapeutic intervention in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
This study aims to measure the oxidative status of LDL from human plasma (n=26) as assessed by biomarkers for lipid peroxidation, total hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (tHODE), 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroxycholesterol (t7-OHCh), and 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (t8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) after subfractionation of LDL with an anion-exchange HPLC (AE-HPLC). LDL was separated and quantified by AE-HPLC as LDL-1, LDL-2, and LDL-3 in the order of the anionic charge of the LDL particles. The concentrations of tHODE, t7-OHCh, and t8-iso-PGF(2alpha) in both plasma and LDL subfractions were assessed after reduction and saponification. In this method, the free and ester forms of hydroperoxides, ketones, and hydroxides of linoleic acid and cholesterol are measured as tHODE and t7-OHCh, respectively. It was found that tHODE significantly correlated with the proportion of LDL-2 and LDL-3 as well as with the concentration of malondialdehyde-modified LDL in plasma. Further, by the analyses of LDL subfractions, the concentrations of tHODE, t8-iso-PGF(2alpha), and t7-OHCh in LDL-3 were found to be significantly higher than those in LDL-1 and LDL-2. These results clearly indicate that the extent of oxidation increases in the order of LDL-1<LDL-2<<LDL-3 and that the oxidative status of LDL in plasma can be quantitatively evaluated by using AE-HPLC and biomarkers, tHODE, t7-OHCh, and t8-iso-PGF(2alpha).

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment have a markedly shortened life expectancy in large part owing to cardiovascular disease (CVD), not explained by established risk factors. We tested the hypothesis that therapy with valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker and amlodipine, an antioxidant calcium channel blocker will reduce oxidative stress and the plasma levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. We confirmed that compared with age- and gender-matched healthy controls, ESRD patients have excessive oxidative stress and arginine methylation as indexed by elevated plasma levels of oxidation products of lipids (13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE)), thiols (oxidized:reduced glutathione, oxidized glutathione (GSSG):GSH), proteins, and nucleic acids, and the methylation products ADMA and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA). We undertook a double blind, crossover study of equi-antihypertensive treatment with amlodipine and valsartan for 6 weeks each to test our hypothesis. Both treatments significantly reduced GSSG:GSH, 8-hydroxy 2-deoxyguanosine, ADMA, and SDMA levels and amlodipine reduced 13-HODE. We conclude that hypertensive patients with ESRD receiving HD have evidence of extensive oxidation of lipids, thiols, proteins, and nucleic acids and methylation of arginine that could contribute to CVD. Many of these changes can be reduced by short-term treatment with amlodipine and valsartan.

Abstract
Background—
Recent genetic data in mouse and humans suggest that the chemokine receptors CCR2 and CX3CR1 are involved in atherogenesis; however, detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms have not been fully delineated.
Methods and Results—
Here, we show that oxidized linoleic acid metabolites, which are components of oxidized LDL found in large amounts in atherosclerotic plaque, were able to specifically induce differentiation of human monocytes to macrophages with decreased expression of CCR2, confirming a previous report, and increased expression of CX3CR1. These macrophages acquired the ability to adhere to coronary artery smooth muscle cells. The adhesion was mediated directly and predominantly by CX3CR1. Reciprocal effects of these lipids on CCR2 and CX3CR1 expression were mediated by the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ, and targeting the
PPARγ
gene with sRNAi dramatically reduced macrophage adhesion to coronary artery smooth muscle cells.
Conclusions—
These data suggest that in atherogenesis oxidized lipid-driven activation of macrophage PPARγ in the intima may result in a proadhesive chemokine receptor switch–CCR2 off, CX3CR1 on–causing cessation of CCR2-dependent migration and activation of CX3CR1-dependent retention mechanisms, which together promote macrophage accumulation in vessel wall. Our results may explain at the molecular and cell biology levels the genetic link between CX3CR1 and atherosclerosis. Moreover, they identify macrophage binding to coronary artery smooth muscle cells as the first primary cell setting in which CX3CR1 functions as the major adhesion system.

Abstract
Disodium disuccinate astaxanthin ('rac'-dAST; Cardax) is a water-dispersible C40 carotenoid derivative under development for oral and parenteral administration for cardioprotection of the at-risk ischemic cardiovascular patient. In experimental infarction models in animals (rats, rabbits, and dogs), significant myocardial salvage has been obtained, up to 100% at the appropriate dose in dogs. The documented mechanism of action in vitro includes direct scavenging of biologically produced superoxide anion; in vivo in rabbits, modulation of the complement activity of serum has also been shown. A direct correlation between administration of the test compound in animals and reductions of multiple, independent markers of oxidative stress in serum was recently obtained in a rat experimental infarction model. For the current study, it was hypothesized that oral Cardax administration would inhibit oxidative damage of multiple relevant biological targets in a representative, well-characterized murine peritoneal inflammation model. A previously developed mass spectrometry-based (LC/ESI/MS/MS) approach was used to interrogate multiple distinct pathways of oxidation in a black mouse (C57/BL6) model system. In vivo markers of oxidant stress from peritoneal lavage samples (supernatants) were evaluated in mice on day eight (8) after treatment with either Cardax or vehicle (lipophilic emulsion without drug) orally by gavage at 500 mg/kg once per day for seven (7) days at five (5) time points: (1) baseline prior to treatment (t=0); (2) 16 h following intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection with thioglycollate to elicit a neutrophilic infiltrate; (3) 4 h following i.p. injection of yeast cell wall (zymosan; t=16 h/4 h thioglycollate+zymosan); (4) 72 h following i.p. injection with thioglycollate to elicit monocyte/macrophage infiltration; and (5) 72 h/4 h thioglycollate+zymosan. A statistically significant sparing effect on the arachidonic acid (AA) and linoleic acid (LA) substrates was observed at time points two and five. When normalized to the concentration of the oxidative substrates, statistically significant reductions of 8-isoprostane-F(2alpha) (8-iso-F(2alpha)) at time point three (maximal neutrophil recruitment/activation), and 5-HETE, 5-oxo-EET, 11-HETE, 9-HODE, and PGF(2alpha) at time point five (maximal monocyte/macrophage recruitment/activation) were observed. Subsequently, the direct interaction of the optically inactive stereoisomer of Cardax (meso-dAST) with human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) was evaluated in vitro with circular dichroism (CD) and electronic absorption (UV/Vis) spectroscopy, and subsequent molecular docking calculations were made using mammalian 15-LOX as a surrogate (for which XRC data has been reported). The results suggested that the meso-compound was capable of interaction with, and binding to, the solvent-exposed surface of the enzyme. These preliminary studies provide the foundation for more detailed evaluation of the therapeutic effects of this compound on the 5-LOX enzyme, important in chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, and prostate cancer in humans.

Abstract
The extremely high sensitivity of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to oxygen is apparently used by nature to induce stepwise appropriate cell responses. It is hypothesized that any alteration in the cell membrane structure induces influx of Ca2+ ions. Ca2+ ions are required to activate degrading enzymes, such as phospholipases and lipoxygenases (LOX) that transform PUFAs bound to membrane phospholipids to lipidhydroperoxides (LOOHs). Enzymatic reduction products of LOOHs seem to serve as ligands of proteins, which induce gene activation to initiate a physiological response. Increasing external impact on cells is connected with deactivation of LOX, liberation of the iron ion in its active center followed by cleavage of LOOH molecules to LO * radicals. LO * radicals induce a second set of responses leading to generation of unsaturated aldehydic phospholipids and unsaturated epoxyhydroxy acids that contribute to induction of apoptosis. Finally peroxyl radicals are generated by attack of LO * radicals on phospholipids. The latter attack nearly all types of cell constituents: Amino- and hydroxyl groups are oxidized to carbonyl functions, sugars and proteins are cleaved, molecules containing double bonds such as unsaturated fatty acids or cholesterol suffer epoxidation. LOOH molecules and iron ions at the cell wall of an injured cell are in tight contact with phospholipids of neighboring cells and transfer to these reactive radicals. Thus, the damaging processes proceed and cause finally necrosis except the chain reaction is stopped by scavengers, such as glutathione. Consequently, PUFAs incorporated into phospholipids of the cell wall are apparently equally important for the fate of a single organism as the DNA in the nucleus for conservation of the species. This review intends to demonstrate the connection of cell alteration reactions with induction of lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes and their relation to inflammatory diseases, especially atherosclerosis and a possible involvement of food. Previously it was deduced that food rich in cholesterol and saturated fatty acids is atherogenic, while food rich in n-3 PUFAs was recognized to be protective against vascular diseases. These deductions are in contradiction to the fact that saturated fatty acids withstand oxidation while n-3 PUFAs are subjected to LPO like all other PUFAs. Considering the influence of minor food constituents a new theory about atherogenesis and the influence of n-3 PUFAs is represented that might resolve the contradictory results of feeding experiments and chemical experiences. Cholesterol-PUFA esters are minor constituents of mammalian derived food, but main components of low density lipoprotein (LDL). The PUFA part of these esters occasionally suffers oxidation by heating or storage of mammalian derived food. There are indications that these oxidized cholesterol esters are directly incorporated into lipoproteins and transferred via the LDL into endothelial cells where they induce damage and start the sequence of events outlined above. The deduction that consumption of n-3 PUFAs protects against vascular diseases is based on the observation that people living on a fish diet have a low incidence to be affected by vascular diseases. Fish are rich in n-3 PUFAs; thus, it was deduced that the protective properties of a fish diet are due to n-3 PUFAs. Fish, fish oils, and vegetables contain besides n-3 PUFAs as minor constituents furan fatty acids (F-acids). These are radical scavengers and are incorporated after consumption of these nutrients into human phospholipids, leading to the assumption that not n-3 PUFAs, but F-acids are responsible for the beneficial efficiency of a fish diet.

Abstract
G2A is a G protein-coupled receptor that is predominantly expressed in lymphoid tissues and macrophages. G2A can be induced by diverse stimuli to cause cell cycle arrest in the G(2)/M phase in pro-B and T cells. G2A is also expressed in macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions, suggesting G2A involvement in atherosclerosis. Recently, G2A was discovered to possess proton-sensing ability. In this paper, we report another function of G2A, that is, as a receptor for 9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE) and other oxidized free fatty acids. G2A, expressed in CHO-K1 or HEK293 cells, showed 9-HODE-induced intracellular calcium mobilization, inositol phosphate accumulation, inhibition of cAMP accumulation, [(35)S]guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate binding, and MAP kinase activation. Furthermore, G2A was activated by various oxidized derivatives of linoleic and arachidonic acids, but it was weakly activated by cholesteryl-9-HODE. Oxidized phosphatidylcholine (1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl) when hydrolyzed with phospholipase A(2) also evoked intracellular calcium mobilization in G2A-expressing cells. These results indicate that G2A is activated by oxidized free fatty acids produced by oxidation and subsequent hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine or cholesteryl linoleate. Thus, G2A might have a biological role in diverse pathological conditions including atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein-associated enzyme that can inhibit low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro. The role of PON1 in vivo still remains to be clarified. We investigated the effect of PON1 genotype (-107C > T and 192Q > R), concentration, paraoxonase activity, and arylesterase activity on the early phase of lipid peroxidation in plasma samples of 110 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The degree of lipid oxidation was assessed by quantitation of oxidized-linoleic acid (the most abundant fatty acid present in LDL) using high performance liquid chromatography. We found a significant inverse correlation between paraoxonase activity and the oxidized-linoleic acid concentration (r = -0.22, P = 0.03), independent of baseline linoleic acid levels. These findings support an anti-oxidative role for PON1 in patients with FH, and thus may give insight into the functioning of PON1 in vivo.

Abstract
Peroxidation of lipids produces low-molecular-weight carbonyl compounds, which are reactive with biological nucleophiles. The analysis of these compounds is often difficult. A multicomponent method for the determination of 11 of them in biological samples is reported. The samples are subjected to a pretreatment-derivatization procedure followed by gas chromatographic analysis with either electron-capture detection (ECD) or mass-selective detection (MSD) in the selected-ion monitoring mode. The procedure involves derivatization of the analyte with 2,4,6-trichlorophenylhydrazine, extraction with n-hexane, and separation of the derivatization products on a nonpolar gas chromatographic column. The concentration of the derivatization reagent, pH, reaction time, temperature, and presence of extraneous ions were investigated to determine the optimal derivatization conditions. Under these conditions, the method allows for the selective detection of low-molecular-weight carbonyl compounds at femtomole levels in several biological materials such as plasma, urine, and bovine serum albumin without interferences. The limits of detection were in the ranges 0.01-0.2 microM for ECD and 0.15-1.5 microM for MSD. The mean procedural recoveries obtained during the method validation were within the range 85-95% and the intra- and interassay standard deviations do not exceed 4.6 and 6.1%, respectively.

Abstract
Oxidative fragmentation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in vivo generates cytotoxic aldehydes. Among these, 4-hydroxynon-2-enal and analogous gamma-hydroxyalkenal phosphatidylcholines (PCs) have attracted attention because these oxidatively truncated lipids are biologically active and have been implicated in diseases. A previous study showed that hydroxydienes, generated by allylic oxygenation of linoleic acid, are unreactive toward oxidative fragmentation. We now show that, in the presence of hydroperoxides, hydroxydienes fragment as readily as the corresponding hydroperoxydienes, generating gamma-hydroxyalkenals. In a physiomimetic model study, myeloperoxidase-promoted free radical-induced fragmentation of either hydroperoxy- or hydroxyoctecadienoate esters of 2-lyso-PC in small unilamellar vesicles produced the 9-hydroxy-12-oxododec-10-enoic acid (HODA) ester HODA-PC. Therefore, hydroxydienes, that are generally more abundant in vivo than hydroperoxydienes, are plausible intermediates in the production of oxidatively truncated lipids in vivo where a constant flux of radicals and hydroperoxides is present. Our findings also show that the formation of dioxetane intermediates through peroxyradical cyclization is not required to achieve oxidative fragmentation of PUFAs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This review focuses on the process of arteriosclerosis arising from oxidative stress on lipoproteins and the general failure of randomized human trials using vitamins to retard this process. REVIEW As well as clinical trials, the paper reviews the mechanisms by which a variety of oxidants act. Antioxidants are discussed, emphasizing interactions of vitamins C and E with transition metals that can lead to prooxidation. There is a focus on interactions between supplemental or co-antioxidants that counterbalance prooxidant effects of one another. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that normal cellular supplementation mechanisms are poorly accessible in the arteriosclerotic plaque leading to a prooxidant environment in which the haphazard introduction of vitamins could potentially be hazardous. Continued investigations into basic and clinical redox interactions of the kind discussed in this review using new measuring techniques may lead to approaches whereby antioxidants can be introduced into tissue in controlled ways for reducing arteriosclerosis.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (*NO) and *NO-derived reactive species (e.g., peroxynitrite anion, nitrogen dioxide radical) react with lipids containing unsaturated fatty acids to generate nitrated species. In the present work, we synthesized, characterized, and detected a nitrated derivative of cholesteryl linoleate (Ch18:2) in human blood plasma and lipoproteins using a high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method. It was synthesized by a reaction of Ch18:2 with nitronium tetrafluoroborate, yielding a species with m/z 711, which is characteristic of the cholesteryl nitrolinoleate (Ch18:2NO2) ammonium adduct. The presence of the nitro group was confirmed by using [15N]nitrite, which gave a product with m/z 712, with the same chromatographic and spectrometric characteristics of those of m/z 711. Furthermore, a C-NO2 structure was also demonstrated in Ch18:2NO2 by infrared analysis (Vmax 1549, 1374 cm-1). A stable product with m/z of 711, showing the same chromatographic characteristics and fragmentation pattern as those of synthesized standard, was found in human blood plasma and lipoproteins of normolipidemic subjects. The presence of this novel nitrogen-containing lipid product in human plasma and lipoproteins could represent a potential indicator of the oxidative/nitrative roles that *NO or its metabolites play during in vivo lipid oxidation, generating a compensatory mechanism of protection in vascular disease.

Abstract
Lipid mediators can exert their effects by interactions with well-characterised cell surface G-protein-linked receptors. Recently, a group of intracellular receptors have been identified that are activated by a large variety of lipid-derived mediators. Amongst these novel targets, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), a family of three (PPARalpha, beta/delta and gamma) nuclear receptor/transcription factors have become a major area for investigation. PPARs are found throughout the body, where they have diverse roles regulating lipid homeostasis, cellular differentiation, proliferation and the immune response. There is a great interest, therefore, in the roles of PPARs in a variety of pathological conditions, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer and chronic inflammation. Although, a number of naturally occurring compounds can activate PPARs, it has been difficult, as yet, to characterise any of these mediators as truly endogenous ligands. These findings have lead to the suggestion that PPARs may act just as general lipid sensors. Acting as lipid sensors, PPARs may take changes in lipid/fatty acid balance in the diet or local metabolism and translate them to tissue-specific ligands, exerting tissue-specific effects. Using classical pharmacological criteria for endogenous mediator classification we will critically discuss the variety of pathways for putative ligand generation.

Abstract
Fatty acids, which are essential nutritional components, are also involved in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Here we report a human cell surface receptor that we name free fatty acid receptor (FFAR), because it is specifically activated by medium to long-chain free fatty acids. The receptor belongs to the class of seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and also mediates responses to antidiabetic drugs of the thiazolidinedione type. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and pancreatic beta-cells. Stimulation of FFAR increases the intracellular calcium concentration in cells expressing the receptor in a native (pancreatic beta-cell line) or in a recombinant form. In view of the nature of the activating substances, their physiological role in the body, and the tissue distribution of FFAR we suggest the term "nutrient sensing receptor" for receptors acting at the interface between dietary components and signalling molecules.

Abstract
Apparently nature uses the unique sensitivity of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) versus oxygen to generate chemical signals if the surface of a cell is influenced by an outside or inside event; for instance the attack of microorganisms, proliferation, aging or by treatment of isolated cells with surfactants. It seems that mammalian and plant cells respond equally to such changes in their structures by transformation of polyunsaturated fatty acids localized in the phospholipid layer of the cell wall to lipidhydroperoxides (LOOHs). These lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes involve all PUFAs, not only arachidonic acid.Slight physiological changes of the cell wall for instance by proliferation seem to activate enzymes, e.g., phospholipases and lipoxygenases (LOX). When an outside impact (for instance by attack of microorganisms) exceeds a certain level LOX commit suicide and liberate iron ions. These start a nonenzymatic LPO. Enzymatic and nonenzymatic LPO distinguish fundamentally which has not been recognized in the past. In the enzymatic LPO processes peroxyl radicals generated as intermediates cannot leave the enzyme complex. In contrast in a nonenzymatic LPO process peroxyl radicals are not trapped. They attack nearly any kind of biological molecules, for instance proteins. Thus only the amount of an outside impact decides if proliferation, apoptosis, or necrosis is started. Some evidence indicates that cancer might be the consequence of a low response of cells to induce apoptotic LPO processes. In contrast to high level of LPO processes induces diseases combined with inflammation, for instance rheumatic arthritis. After consumption of food rich in linoleic acid its LPO products become increased in low density lipoprotein (LDL). This LDL is able to enter endothelial cells and damage cells from inside, long before an inflammatory response is detectable.

Abstract
Evidence is presented that mammalian and plant cells respond equally to any event which changes their cell membrane structure. Proliferation, wounding or aging induces generation of lipidhydroperoxides from cell wall phospholipids. These are transformed to signalling compounds, some of these induce apoptosis. If the exerted impact exceeds a certain level, the original enzymic reaction switches to a non-enzymic one which produces peroxylradicals. The latter are not liberated enzymically. Peroxylradicals generate a second set of signalling compounds, but cause also severe damage: they epoxidize double bonds, and oxidize proteins, sugars and nucleic acids. Such reactions occur in all inflammatory diseases. Lipidhydoperoxides and their degradation products are incorporated in fat. Apparently, these compounds are transferred partly to LDL. Such LDL is still recognized by the cell LDL receptor. Toxic lipid peroxidation products are therefore introduced into cells and might be able to damage cells from inside long before the typical signs of atherosclerosis and other chronic diseases become visible.

Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family was discovered from an orphan nuclear receptor approach, and thereafter, three subtypes were identified, namely PPARalpha, PPARbeta or PPARgamma and PPARgamma. The two former seem to regulate lipid homeostasis, whereas the latter is involved, among others, in glucose homeostasis and adipocyte differentiation. PPARs were pharmacologically characterised first using peroxisome proliferators such as clofibrates, which demonstrate moderate affinity (efficiency at micromolar concentrations) and low PPARalpha/delta versus PPARgamma specificity. Hence, several laboratories have started the search for potent and subtype-specific natural PPAR activators. In this respect, prostaglandin (PG)-related compounds were identified as good PPARgamma agonists with varying specificity, the most notable PPAR ligand being 15-deoxy-Delta12-14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2). Recently, an oxidized phosphatidylcholine was identified as a potent alternative (patho)physiological natural ligand of PPARgamma. In the present review, we discuss the different PPARgamma-dependent and -independent biological effects of the PG PPARgamma ligands and the concern about their low potency in molecular models as compared with thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a family of potent (nanomolar) synthetic PPARgamma ligands. Finally, the oxidized lipids are presented as a novel and interesting alternative for discovering potent PPARgamma activators in order to understand more in details the implications of PPARgamma in various pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and monocyte infiltration of the vessel wall underlie atherogenesis. These cells express cyclooxygenase-2, but the way oxidized LDL stimulates cyclooxygenase-2 transcription is unknown. Oxidized LDL, oxidatively fragmented phospholipids isolated from oxidized LDL, a synthetic oxidized alkylphospholipid (azPC) that is a potent peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonist, or the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone all induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression and enhanced prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) secretion in primary human monocytes. The cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor NS398 blocked PPARgamma-induced PGE(2) secretion. Phospholipase A(1) and A(2) digestion shows that oxidized alkylphospholipids, and not oxidized fatty acids, were the relevant agonists. The upstream PPAR-responsive element (PPRE) of cyclooxygenase-2 was required for induction of a luciferase reporter by oxidized phospholipids, azPC, and rosiglitazone, and a (COX-2 PPRE)(3)-luciferase reporter was responsive to these PPARgamma agonists. Circulating human monocytes do not contain PPARgamma, but PPARgamma was induced rapidly (<4 h) in monocytes upon ligation of surface ICAM-3, but not P-selectin glycoprotein-1 even though both interactions prime cytokine secretion. Cyclooxygenase-2 induction by oxidized phospholipids only occurred in monocytes containing PPARgamma. Thus PPARgamma was induced rapidly in primary monocytes by appropriate outside-in signaling, sensitizing them to previously undetectable agonists in oxidized LDL. Cyclooxygenase-2 and PGE(2) secretion are induced, not inhibited, by selective PPARgamma agonists that include oxidatively fragmented phospholipids in oxidized LDL.

Abstract
Oxidation of lipoproteins, particularly low-density lipoprotein, is thought to play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis. We set out to identify and quantitate the major fatty acid oxidation products in human atherosclerotic plaque obtained from individuals undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Oxidized lipids were extracted from plaque homogenate under conditions to prevent artifactual oxidation. Identification and quantitation was performed using HPLC and GC-MS. High levels of hydroxyoctadecanoic acids (0.51 +/- 0.17 ng/microg of linoleic acid), 15-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid (HETE) (0.66 +/- 0.24 ng/microg of arachidonic acid), and 11-HETE (0.84 +/- 0.24 ng/microg of arachidonic acid) were detected in all atherosclerotic plaques (n = 10). Low levels of 9-oxo-octadecanoic acid (oxoODE) (0.04 +/- 0.01 ng/microg of linoleic acid), were present in all samples, while 13-oxoODE (0.01 +/- 0.008 ng/microg of linoleic acid) was present in only 4 of the 10 plaque samples. Of interest was the identification of two previously unidentified compounds in atherosclerotic plaque, 11-oxo-eicosatetranoic acid in 9 of the 10 samples and 5,6-dihydroxyeicosatetranoic acid in 3 samples. Chiral analysis revealed that all the major compounds identified in this study are of a nonenzymatic origin. This study is the first to provide a convenient HPLC method to quantify all the products of both linoleic acid and arachidonic acid oxidation in human atherosclerotic plaque. The quantitation of lipid peroxidation products in plaque may be important given the potential biological activity of these compounds and their possible relationship to plaque pathogenesis and instability.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes observed in diseases connected with inflammation involve mainly linoleic acid. Its primary LPO products, 9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HPODE) and 13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE), decompose in multistep degradation reactions. These reactions were investigated in model studies: decomposition of either 9-HPODE or 13-HPODE by Fe(2+) catalyzed air oxidation generates (with the exception of corresponding hydroxy and oxo derivatives) identical products in often nearly equal amounts, pointing to a common intermediate. Pairs of carbonyl compounds were recognized by reacting the oxidation mixtures with pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine. Even if a pure lipid hydroperoxide is subjected to decomposition a great variety of products is generated, since primary products suffer further transformations. Therefore pure primarily decomposition products of HPODEs were exposed to stirring in air with or without addition of iron ions. Thus we observed that primary products containing the structural element R-CH=CH-CH=CH-CH=O add water and then they are cleaved by retroaldol reactions. 2,4-Decadienal is degraded in the absence of iron ions to 2-butenal, hexanal and 5-oxodecanal. Small amounts of buten-1,4-dial were also detected. Addition of m-chloroperbenzoic acid transforms 2,4-decadienal to 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. 4,5-Epoxy-2-decenal, synthetically available by treatment of 2,4-decadienal with dimethyldioxirane, is hydrolyzed to 4,5-dihydroxy-2-decenal.

Abstract
A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantification of free and total malondialdehyde (MDA) in biological materials. The procedure involves derivatization of the analyte with 2,4,6-trichlorophenylhydrazine, extraction with n-hexane, and separation of the cyclic derivatization product on a OV-5 gas chromatographic column. Concentration of the derivatization reagent, pH, reaction time, and temperature were investigated to determine the optimal derivatization conditions. Under these conditions, the method allows for the selective detection of free and total MDA at femtomole levels in several biological materials without any interferences. The procedure yields relative standard deviation values for the intra- and interassays in the range 3.3 and 3.9%, respectively, for the electron-capture and mass-selective (SIM mode) detection systems. Recoveries of MDA from spiked matrices reached 96%. The present method offers the advantage of the alternative use of either electron-capture or mass-selective detection. Furthermore it avoids overestimation of MDA since it employs mild conditions for sample processing and there is no need for preventing protein separation for the assessment of free MDA.

Abstract
We studied the effect of short-term nadolol administration on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and mononuclear cells in 8 normal subjects. At a oral dose of 40 mg/day for 5 days, nadolol produced a decrease in the ROS generation by leukocytes. ROS generation by polymorphonuclear leukocytes decreased by 38% from 134 +/- 44 mV at baseline to 83 +/- 34 mV after 5 days (p = 0.005), and ROS generation by mononuclear cells decreased by 33% from 174 +/- 69 mV at baseline to 117 +/- 55 mV after 5 days (p = 0.015). There was also a significant reduction in linoleic acid oxidation as reflected by the lower levels of 9- and 13- hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid after 5 days. There was no change in the plasma thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances, a less sensitive index of oxidative damage to lipids. There was also no significant change in the levels of metatyrosine and orthotyrosine, which are known indexes of oxidative damage to amino acids and proteins. The absence of a significant change in metatyrosine, orthotyrosine, and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances may reflect the short duration of nadolol administration and the decreased ROS load. Because ROS may induce lipid peroxidation, this inhibitory effect of nadolol on ROS generation by leukocytes and linoleic acid oxidation may inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation and thus atherogenesis. This effect may partly explain the favorable outcomes observed in patients with coronary artery disease on long-term beta-blocker therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Lipid peroxidation is a prominent manifestation of free radical activity and oxidative stress in biological systems. Diverse methodologies have been developed that measure a variety of lipid peroxidation products used as markers of lipid peroxidation processes.
Methods: Hydroxy and hydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) peroxidation products were analyzed in human blood plasma by reversed-phase HPLC after liquid-liquid extraction of total lipids and alkaline hydrolysis of lipid esters to liberate free PUFAs. An isocratic mobile phase containing 1 g/L acetic acid-acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran (52:30:18, by volume) over 60 min duration, with ultraviolet absorbance detection at 236 nm by photodiode array, enabled the resolution and quantification of 13 regioisomeric hydroxy and hydroperoxy PUFAs.
Results: As little as 250 μL of human plasma was utilized with an analytical range of 0.033–1.6 μmol/L for each compound. Intra- and interassay CVs for all compounds detected in normal or oxidatively modified human plasma were 3.2–11% and 4.7–12%, respectively. Analytical recoveries were 87–103%. Analysis of human plasma exposed to artificial oxidation with Cu2+ ion and hydrogen peroxide, a free radical-generating reaction, showed marked increases in hydroxy and hydroperoxy PUFA concentrations.
Conclusion: Lipid-derived hydroxy and hydroperoxy PUFAs may be useful as clinical markers of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in the peripheral circulation.

Abstract
Vitamin E deficiency and linoleic acid-feeding lead to nutritional encephalomalacia (NE) in chicks, affecting the cerebellum exclusively. The relevance of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products to the pathogenesis of the disease was studied. Laying hens received a diet low in vitamin E. Resulting chicks were assigned to four groups fed either with linoleic (C18: 2n-6) or linolenic (C18: 3n-3) acid together with 1 or 50 p.p.m. vitamin E. Nine days post-hatching NE occurred in the vitamin E-deficient group fed linoleic acid. With each chick showing NE, a healthy one from all four groups was killed. Unsaturated aldehydes were determined in plasma, liver, cerebrum and cerebellum. Results underlined that the type of dietary fat is decisive for the aldehyde pattern. In the liver of linoleic acid-fed animals total aldehydes were increased. Diseased animals had increased aldehydes stemming from n-3 fatty acids. In plasma, vitamin E deficiency led to higher malondialdehyde and OH-nonenal concentrations. In brain, neither vitamin E deficiency nor NE were accompanied by increased aldehyde concentrations. In consequence a direct role of unsaturated aldehydes for the development of NE in the cerebellum is not probable.
