Abstract
This study aimed to detect the circulating oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels of controls and patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and also to investigate the correlation with the severity of coronary heart disease (CHD). Plasma levels of circulating ox-LDL-4E6, malondialdehyde (MDA), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apoprotein A, apoprotein B, and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) were measured in 99 participants who underwent coronary angiography. The plasma ox-LDL level was significantly higher in patients with CHD than in controls (P = 0.000). However, it was lower in the UAP and AMI groups than in the SAP group (P = 0.000). The lipid peroxide level (MDA) showed a significant difference among all groups (P = 0.000). It increased significantly in patients with CHD. The Lp(a) and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in patients with CHD (P = 0.000 and 0.000, respectively). No difference in Lp(a) was found among the SAP, UAP, and AMI groups (P = 0.296). In patients with CHD, the plasma ox-LDL correlated negatively with hs-CRP (P = 0.011), and serum MDA correlated positively with hs-CRP (P = 0.004). The plasma ox-LDL could be used as a strong risk factor for the early stage but not the advanced stage of CHD. Hs-CRP may bound and transfer ox-LDL to macrophages. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 71(1):277-282, 2019.

Abstract
Atheromatous plaques contain heavily lipid-loaded macrophages that die, hence generating the necrotic core of these plaques. Since plaque instability and rupture is often correlated with a large necrotic core, it is important to understand the mechanisms underlying foam cell death. Furthermore, macrophages within the plaque are associated with hypoxic areas but little is known about the effect of low oxygen partial pressure on macrophage death. The aim of this work was to unravel macrophage death mechanisms induced by oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL) both under normoxia and hypoxia. Differentiated macrophages were incubated in the presence of native, copper sulfate-oxidized, or myeloperoxidase-modified LDL. The unfolded protein response, apoptosis, and autophagy were then investigated. The unfolded protein response and autophagy were triggered by myeloperoxidase-modified LDL and, to a larger extent, by copper sulfate-oxidized LDL. Electron microscopy observations showed that oxidized LDL induced excessive autophagy and apoptosis under normoxia, which were less marked under hypoxia. Myeloperoxidase-modified LDL were more toxic and induced a higher level of apoptosis. Hypoxia markedly decreased apoptosis and cell death, as marked by caspase activation. In conclusion, the cell death pathways induced by copper sulfate-oxidized and myeloperoxidase-modified LDL are different and are differentially modulated by hypoxia.

Abstract
Patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) often exhibit altered serum lipid and lipoprotein profile during the oliguric phase of the disease. Serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles were assessed during the oliguric and recovery phases in six male patients with HFRS. In the oliguric phase of HFRS, the apolipoprotein (apo) C-III content in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) was elevated, whereas the apoA-I content was lowered. The level of expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes were severely reduced during the oliguric phase, while the cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity and protein level were unchanged between the phases. In the oliguric phase, electromobility of HDL2 and HDL3 was faster than in the recovery phase. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size was smaller and the distribution was less homogeneous. Patients with HFRS in the oliguric phase had severely modified lipoproteins in composition and metabolism.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation is a key step in atherogenesis, promoting the formation of lipid-laden macrophages. Here, we compared the effects of copper-oxidized LDLs (OxLDLs) and of the more physiologically relevant myeloperoxidase-oxidized LDLs (MoxLDLs) in murine RAW264.7 macrophages and in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages. Both oxidized LDLs, contrary to native LDLs, induced foam cell formation and an intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This oxidative stress was responsible for the activation of the NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factor, and the subsequent Nrf2-dependent overexpression of the antioxidant genes, Gclm and HO-1, as evidenced by the invalidation of Nrf2 by RNAi. MoxLDLs always induced a stronger response than OxLDLs. These differences could be partly explained by specific ROS-producing mechanisms differing between OxLDLs and MoxLDLs. Whereas both types of oxidized LDLs caused ROS production partly by NADPH oxidase, only MoxLDLs-induced ROS production was dependent on cytosolic PLA2. This study highlights that OxLDLs and MoxLDLs induce an oxidative stress, through distinct ROS-producing mechanisms, which is responsible for the differential activation of the Nrf2 pathway. These data clearly suggest that results obtained until now with copper oxidized-LDLs should be carefully reevaluated, taking into consideration physiologically more relevant oxidized LDLs.

Abstract
Although it is clear that chylomicron remnants are atherogenic, events leading to their internalization by macrophages are still debated. The lack of apoE (apolipoprotein E) in CRLPs (chylomicron remnant-like particles) reduces macrophage TAG (triacylglycerol) content by approx. 50%, suggesting that, as well as apoE-mediated endocytic uptake, apoE receptor-independent mechanisms are involved in the induction of foam cells by chylomicron remnants. Evaluation of the radioactivity associated with macrophages after incubation with CRLPs containing radiolabelled lipids suggests that the TAG and cholesterol carried by the particles have different kinetics of internalization. In addition, inhibition-based experiments indicate that cholesteryl ester-selective uptake and the extracellular lipoprotein lipase hydrolysis of TAG contribute to cholesterol and TAG accumulation respectively. Thus plasma TAG and cholesterol carried by remnant particles have to be considered two independent and non-interchangeable risk factors for athero-related diseases. In addition, the interaction between CRLPs and macrophages is modulated by dietary oxidized lipids and other lipophilic components. The presence of oxidized lipids, such as 7β-hydroxycholesterol and 7-oxocholesterol, the major cholesterol oxidation products found in atherosclerotic lesions, in CRLPs interferes with the mechanisms of their internalization, but does not cause quantitative changes of accumulated lipids, while the presence of the plant carotenoid, lycopene, or the antioxidant drug, probucol, enhances lipid accumulation in macrophages by increasing the rate of uptake of the particles and raising the intracellular synthesis of TAG. In conclusion, several mechanisms contribute to the macrophage uptake of postprandial lipoproteins, however, little is known of the balance and modulation between the different pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two mutants of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, V156K and A158E, showed markedly different structural and functional properties in lipid-free and lipid-bound states in the authors' earlier report. The physiological activities of these mutants were compared with the wild-type (WT) and R173C mutant using in vitro and in vivo experiments. MATERIALS AND METHODS A reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) with palmitoyloleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC), combined with each of the apoA-I variants, was injected into the tail-veins of hypercholesterolaemic mice (C57BL6/J), which had been fed a high cholesterol and high fat (HCHF; 0.5% cholesterol, 15% lard, 0.1% sodium cholate) diet for 23 weeks, once at 0 h and then every 24 h, at a dosage of 30 mg apoA-I kg(-1) of body-weight. RESULTS The V156K-rHDL and R173C-rHDL exhibited significantly stronger anti-oxidant activity against copper-mediated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation than did A158E in an apolipoprotein state. The mice injected with WT-rHDL or A158E-rHDL showed abrupt increases in total cholesterol concentrations (47% and 38%, respectively) as compared with the levels before injection, whereas the mice injected with V156K-rHDL and R173C-rHDL did not. Injection with V156K-rHDL improved serum lipids and anti-oxidative activities compared with the injection of WT-rHDL. Injection of WT-rHDL or A158E-rHDL increased serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) to 90-110 pg mL(-1), whereas the injection of V156K-rHDL or R173C-rHDL increased serum IL-6 to 17-25 pg mL(-1) only. CONCLUSION The V156K-rHDL and R173C-rHDL displayed potent beneficial effects, including anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity from both in vitro and in vivo evaluations, whereas the WT-rHDL and A158E-rHDL did not.

Abstract
The uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis. The scavenger receptor CD36 is one major receptor that internalizes oxidized LDL. In differentiated human macrophages, we compared the regulation of CD36 expression by copper-oxidized LDL or their products. Only oxidized derivatives of cholesteryl ester (CEOOH) increased the amount of CD36 mRNA (2.5-fold). Both oxidized LDL and CEOOH treatment increased two to fourfold the transcription of promoters containing peroxisome-proliferator-activated-receptor responsive elements (PPRE) in the presence of PPARalpha or gamma. Electrophoretic-mobility-shift-assays with nuclear extracts prepared from macrophages treated by either oxidized LDL or CEOOH showed increased binding of PPARalpha to the CD36 gene promoter PPRE. In conclusion, CEOOH present in oxidized LDL increase CD36 gene expression in a pathway involving PPARalpha.

Abstract
It has long been known that the oxidative state of the various plasma lipoproteins modulates platelet aggregability, thereby contributing to atherogenesis. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), occurring in vivo both in the native and oxidised forms, interacts directly with platelets, by binding to specific receptors. While the identity of the receptors for native LDL and some subfractions of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) remains disputed, apoE-containing HDL(2) binds to LRP8. The nature of these interactions as well as the distinction between candidate receptor proteins was elucidated using covalently modified apolipoproteins, which pointed to the participation of apolipoproteins in high affinity binding. However, the platelet effects initiated by binding of native lipoproteins remain controversial. Some of this ambiguity can be traced to the fact that native LDL inevitably undergoes substantial oxidisation upon modification, including by radiolabelling. The platelet-activating effects provoked by oxidised LDL are irrefutable, but many details remain unknown. The role of CD36 in platelet binding by oxidised LDL is well established, although additional receptors may exist. Much less is known about the interaction of oxidised HDL with platelets, since platelet activation was observed in some, but not all studies. Various frequently applied in vitro oxidation methods produce modified lipoprotein species that may not be relevant in vivo. Based on the reported modifications obtained by in vitro oxidation of LDL, early investigations focused mainly on the formation and the eventual effects of oxidised lipids. More recently, alterations to lipoproteins performed using hypochloric acid and myeloperoxidase redirected the attention to the role of modified apoproteins in triggering platelet responses.

Abstract
The susceptibility of major plasma lipoproteins to lipoperoxidation was studied in relation to the FA composition of their neutral and polar lipids in steers given PUFA-rich diets. Two trials used, respectively, 18 ("sunflower" experiment, S) or 24 ("linseed" experiment, L) crossbred Salers x Charolais steers. Each involved three dietary treatments over a 70-d period: a control diet (CS or CL diets) consisting of hay and concentrate, or the same diet supplemented with oilseeds (4% diet dry matter) fed either as seeds (SS or LS diets) or continuously infused into the duodenum (ISO or ILO diets). Compared with control diets, ISO and ILO treatments tended to decrease the resistance time of LDL and HDL classes to peroxidation, mainly owing to the enrichment of their polar and neutral lipids with PUFA. With diets SS and LS, sensitivity of major lipoprotein classes (LDL, light and heavy HDL) was not affected because ruminal hydrogenation of dietary PUFA decreased their incorporation into lipoparticles. ISO and ILO treatments induced a more important production of conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides generated by peroxidation in the three lipoprotein classes due to the higher amounts of PUFA esterified in lipids of the core and the hydrophilic envelope of particles. The production of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased in steers fed linseed supplements, indicating that MDA production did not occur with linoleic acid provided by sunflower oil supplements. Thus, plasma peroxidation of PUFA generates toxic products in steers fed diets supplemented with PUFA and can be deleterious for the health of the animal during long-term treatment.

Abstract
Well-defined quantities of *OH, O2*-,HO2* or RO2*)radicals (reactive oxygen species) can be specifically produced by radiolysis of water or ethanol. Such radical species can initiate one-electron oxidation or one-electron reduction reactions on numerous biological systems. The oxidative hypothesis of atherosclerosis classically admits the involvement of the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) but also of high density lipoproteins (HDLs) in the development of the atherosclerotic process. The initiation mechanisms of this oxidation are still incompletely defined, although free radicals are likely involved. Therefore, gamma-radiolysis appears as a method of choice for the in vitro study of the mechanisms of oxidation of LDLs and HDLs by oxygen-centred free radicals (*OH, O2*-,HO2* and RO2*). Radiolytically oxidized lipoproteins exhibited a very well defined oxidation status (radiation dose-dependent quantification of vitamin E, beta-carotene, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation ...). gamma-Radiolysis is a less drastic method than other oxidation procedures such as for example copper ions. Moreover, gamma-radiolysis is also especially suitable for studying the reducing properties of antioxidant compounds with regard to their scavenging capacity.

Abstract
Human embryonic implantation involves major invasion of the uterine wall and remodeling of the uterine arteries by extravillous cytotrophoblast cells (EVCT). Abnormalities in these early steps of placental development lead to poor placentation and fetal growth defects and are frequently associated with preeclampsia, a major complication of human pregnancy. We recently showed that oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) are present in situ in EVCT and inhibit cell invasion in a concentration-dependent manner. The aim of the present study was to better understand the mechanisms by which oxLDL modulate trophoblast invasion. We therefore investigated the presence of oxLDL receptors in our cell culture model of human invasive primary EVCT. We found using immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting that the lectin-like oxLDL receptor-1 was the scavenger receptor mainly expressed in EVCT and was probably involved in oxLDL uptake. We next examined the effect of low-density lipoprotein oxidative state on trophoblast invasion in vitro using EVCT cultured on Matrigel-coated Transwell. We demonstrated that only oxLDL containing a high proportion of oxysterols and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide derivatives that provide ligands for liver X receptor (LXR) and peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), respectively, reduced trophoblast invasion. We next investigated the presence and the role of these nuclear receptors and found that in addition to PPARgamma, human invasive trophoblasts express LXRbeta, and activation of these nuclear receptors by specific synthetic or natural ligands inhibited trophoblast invasion. Finally, using a PPARgamma antagonist, we suggest that LXRbeta, rather than PPARgamma, is involved in oxLDL-mediated inhibition of human trophoblast invasion in vitro.

Abstract
Antioxidants located in both the hydrophilic and lipophilic compartments of plasma are actively involved as a defense system against reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are continuously generated in the body due to both normal metabolism and disease. However, when the production of ROS is not controlled, it leads to cellular lipid, protein, and DNA damage in biological systems. Several assays to measure 'total' antioxidant capacity of plasma have been developed to study the involvement of oxidative stress in pathological conditions and to evaluate the functional bioavailability of dietary antioxidants. Conventional assays to determine antioxidant capacity primarily measure the antioxidant capacity in the aqueous compartment of plasma. Consequently, water-soluble antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, uric acid and protein thiols mainly influence these assays, whereas fat-soluble antioxidants such as tocopherols and carotenoids play only a minor role. However, there are active interactions among antioxidants located in the hydrophilic and lipophilic compartments of plasma. Therefore, new approaches to define the 'true' total antioxidant capacity of plasma should reflect the antioxidant network between water- and fat-soluble antioxidants in plasma. Revelation of the mechanism of action of antioxidants and their true antioxidant potential will help us to optimize the antioxidant defenses in the body.

Synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives and their inhibitory effects on LDL-oxidation, acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 and -2 activity, and decrease of HDL-particle size. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2004; 14:4677-81. [PMID: 15324887 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.06.101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2004] [Accepted: 06/28/2004] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
A series of cinnamic acid derivatives were synthesized and their biological abilities on lipoprotein metabolism were examined. Among the tested compounds, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (l-phenylalanine methyl ester) amide (1) and 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinammic acid (l-aspartic acid dibenzyl ester) amide (2) inhibited human acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 and -2 activities with apparent IC(50) around 60 and 95 microM, respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 also served as an antioxidant against copper mediated low-density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation with apparent IC(50)=52 and 3 microM, compound 1 and 2, respectively. Additionally, decrease of HDL-particle size under presence of LDL was inhibited by the 1 at 307 microM of final concentration. Treatment of the 1 or 2 did not influence normal growth of RAW264.7 without detectable cytotoxic activity from a cell viability test. These results suggest that the new cinnamic acid derivatives possess useful biological activity as an anti-atherosclerotic agent with inhibition of cellular cholesterol storage and transport by the both ACAT, inhibition of LDL-oxidation, HDL particle size rearrangement.
