Abstract
Endothelial cell (EC) CD36 controls tissue fatty acid (FA) uptake. Here we examine how ECs transfer FAs. FA interaction with apical membrane CD36 induces Src phosphorylation of caveolin-1 tyrosine-14 (Cav-1Y14) and ceramide generation in caveolae. Ensuing fission of caveolae yields vesicles containing FAs, CD36 and ceramide that are secreted basolaterally as small (80-100 nm) exosome-like extracellular vesicles (sEVs). We visualize in transwells EC transfer of FAs in sEVs to underlying myotubes. In mice with EC-expression of the exosome marker emeraldGFP-CD63, muscle fibers accumulate circulating FAs in emGFP-labeled puncta. The FA-sEV pathway is mapped through its suppression by CD36 depletion, blocking actin-remodeling, Src inhibition, Cav-1Y14 mutation, and neutral sphingomyelinase 2 inhibition. Suppression of sEV formation in mice reduces muscle FA uptake, raises circulating FAs, which remain in blood vessels, and lowers glucose, mimicking prominent Cd36-/- mice phenotypes. The findings show that FA uptake influences membrane ceramide, endocytosis, and EC communication with parenchymal cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An inflammatory response to altered lipoproteins that accumulate in the arterial wall is a major component of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Statins reduce plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and are effective treatments for atherosclerosis. It is hypothesized that they also modulate inflammation. The aim of this study was to examine whether lovastatin inhibits macrophage inflammatory processes and clarify its mechanism of action. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the effects of statins on phagocytosis of antibody-coated red blood cells by cultured human monocytes and mouse peritoneal macrophages. Lovastatin, simvastatin, and zaragozic acid, a squalene synthase inhibitor, blocked Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis by cultured human monocytes and mouse peritoneal macrophages. The inhibitory effect of lovastatin on Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis was prevented completely by addition of mevalonate, farnesyl pyrophosphate, LDL, or cholesterol to the culture medium. The inhibitory effect of zaragozic acid was reversed by addition of LDL, but not by the addition of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, to the medium. In addition, the effect of lovastatin on phagocytosis is a function of cell activation because treatment of cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha or lipopolysaccharide prevented inhibition of phagocytosis by lovastatin. CONCLUSIONS The inhibition of Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis of lovastatin is related to its effect on cholesterol biosynthesis rather than its effect on the formation of isoprenoids.

Abstract
Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and liver may play a primary role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the mechanism by which insulin resistance occurs may be related to alterations in fat metabolism. Transgenic mice with muscle- and liver-specific overexpression of lipoprotein lipase were studied during a 2-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to determine the effect of tissue-specific increase in fat on insulin action and signaling. Muscle-lipoprotein lipase mice had a 3-fold increase in muscle triglyceride content and were insulin resistant because of decreases in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and insulin activation of insulin receptor substrate-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. In contrast, liver-lipoprotein lipase mice had a 2-fold increase in liver triglyceride content and were insulin resistant because of impaired ability of insulin to suppress endogenous glucose production associated with defects in insulin activation of insulin receptor substrate-2-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. These defects in insulin action and signaling were associated with increases in intracellular fatty acid-derived metabolites (i.e., diacylglycerol, fatty acyl CoA, ceramides). Our findings suggest a direct and causative relationship between the accumulation of intracellular fatty acid-derived metabolites and insulin resistance mediated via alterations in the insulin signaling pathway, independent of circulating adipocyte-derived hormones.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LpL) binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) is hypothesized to stabilize the enzyme, localize LpL in specific capillary beds, and route lipoprotein lipids to the underlying tissues. To test these hypotheses in vivo, we created mice expressing a human LpL minigene (hLpL(HBM)) carrying a mutated heparin-binding site. Three basic amino acids in the carboxyl terminal region of LpL were mutated, yielding an active enzyme with reduced heparin binding. Mice expressing hLpL(HBM) accumulated inactive human LpL (hLpL) protein in preheparin blood. hLpL(HBM) rapidly lost activity during a 37 degrees C incubation, confirming a requirement for heparin binding to stabilize LPL: Nevertheless, expression of hLpL(HBM) prevented the neonatal demise of LpL knockout mice. On the LpL-deficient background hLpL(HBM) expression led to defective targeting of lipids to tissues. Compared with mice expressing native hLpL in the muscle, hLpL(HBM) transgenic mice had increased postprandial FFAs, decreased lipid uptake in muscle tissue, and increased lipid uptake in kidneys. Thus, heparin association is required for LpL stability and normal physiologic functions. These experiments confirm in vivo that association with HSPGs can provide a means to maintain proteins in their stable conformations and to anchor them at sites where their activity is required.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of circulating lipoprotein triglyceride molecules, is synthesized in myocytes and adipocytes but functions while bound to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells. This requires transfer of LPL from the abluminal side to the luminal side of endothelial cells. Studies were performed to investigate the mechanisms of LPL transcytosis using cultured monolayers of bovine aortic endothelial cells. We tested whether HSPGs and members of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor superfamily were involved in transfer of LPL from the basolateral to the apical side of cultured endothelial cells. Heparinase/heparinitase treatment of the basolateral cell surface or addition of heparin to the basolateral medium decreased the movement of LPL. This suggested a requirement for HSPGs. To assess the role of receptors, we used either receptor-associated protein, the 39-kDa inhibitor of ligand binding to the LDL receptor-related protein and the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor, or specific receptor antibodies. Receptor-associated protein reduced (125)I-LPL and LPL activity transfer across the monolayers. When the basolateral surface of the cells was treated with antibodies, only anti-VLDL receptor antibodies inhibited transcytosis. Moreover, overexpression of the VLDL receptor using adenoviral-mediated gene transfer increased LPL transcytosis. Thus, movement of active LPL across endothelial cells involves both HSPGs and VLDL receptor.

Abstract
In vitro studies have shown that the binding site for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is within the first 17% of apoB (apoB-17). Expression of apoB-48 in McArdle cells decreases endogenous lipoprotein production; however, overexpression of human apoB in transgenic mice does not decrease endogenous mouse apoB expression. To assess this inconsistency, adenoviruses expressing human apoB-17 (AdB17) or apoB-17-beta (which contains apoB-17 plus a small lipid-binding beta-sheet region of apoB, AdB-17beta) were produced. Hepatoma cells were infected with AdB17 or AdB17-beta with AdLacZ, an adenovirus expressing beta-galactosidase, as a control. Overexpression of apoB-17 and apoB-17-beta in hepatoma cells to levels 2- to 3-fold greater than that of endogenous apoB did not alter endogenous apoB production. This was also true in the presence of oleic acid and N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal. High levels of apoB-17 or beta-galactosidase expression reduced apoB-100 production; however, control protein production was also reduced. To assess the effects of apoB-17 expression in vivo, mice of three different strains were injected with AdB17. Two days after injection, plasma apoB-17 was approximately 24 times the amount of endogenous apoB in the C57BL/6 mice, 2 times the apoB-100 in human apoB transgenic mice, and 4 times the apoB-48 in apoE knockout mice. Overexpression of apoB-17 did not decrease apoB-100 or apoB-48 concentrations in mouse plasma as assessed by Western blot analysis. These results demonstrate that although the apoB-17 binds to MTP in vitro, it does not alter endogenous apoB expression in mice or in hepatoma cells.

Abstract
According to numerous studies low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are supposed to interact with the glycosaminoglycan chain(s) of proteoglycans, e.g. with decorin and biglycan, which themselves are subject to receptor-mediated endocytosis. We tested, therefore, whether complexes of LDL and small proteoglycans can be endocytosed by either the LDL- or the small proteoglycan uptake mechanism. However, neither was the endocytosis of LDL significantly influenced by proteoglycans nor that of proteoglycans by LDL. This negative result could be explained by the observation that in vitro complex formation takes place only in buffers of low ionic strength. Under physiological conditions additional molecules may be necessary for complex stabilization. Lipoprotein lipase (LpL) which binds LDL was also able to interact with high affinity with decorin and its glycosaminoglycan-free core protein, both interactions being heparin-sensitive. Regardless of the presence or absence of LDL, LpL stimulated the endocytosis of decorin 1.5-fold, whereas LpL mediated a 4-fold stimulation of LDL uptake in the absence of decorin. No significant additional effect was seen in the presence of small concentrations of proteoglycans whereas in the presence of 1 microM decorin the endocytosis of [125I]LDL was reduced in normal as well as in LDL receptor-deficient fibroblasts. These observations could best be explained by assuming that LpL/LDL complexes are internalized upon binding to membrane-associated heparan sulphate and that small proteoglycans interfere with this process. It could not be ruled out, however, that a small proportion of the complexes is also taken up by the small proteoglycan receptor.

Abstract
Altered lipoprotein lipase regulation associated with diabetes leading to the development of hypertriglyceridemia might be attributed to possible changes in content and the fine structure of heparan sulfate and its associated lipoprotein lipase. Adipocyte cell surface is the primary site of synthesis of lipoprotein lipase and the enzyme is bound to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans via heparan sulfate side chains. In this study, the effect of diabetes on the production of adipocyte heparan sulfate and its sulfation (especially N-sulfation) were examined. Mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes were exposed to high glucose (25 mM) and low glucose (5.55 mM) in the medium and cell-associated heparan sulfate was isolated and characterized. A significant decrease in total content of heparan sulfate was observed in adipocytes cultured under high glucose as compared to low glucose conditions. The degree of N-sulfation was-assessed through oligosaccharide mapping of heparan sulfate after chemical cleavages involving low pH (1.5) nitrous acid and hydrazinolysis/high pH (4.0) nitrous acid treatments; N-sulfation was found to be comparable between the adipocyte heparan sulfates produced under these glucose conditions. The activity and message levels for N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase, the enzyme responsible for N-sulfation in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate, did not vary in adipocytes whether they were exposed to low or high glucose. While most cells or tissues in diabetic situations produce heparan sulfate with low-charge density concomitant with a decrease in N-sulfation, adipocyte cell system is an exception in this regard. Heparan sulfate from adipocytes cultured in low glucose conditions binds to lipoprotein lipase by the same order of magnitude as that derived from high glucose conditions. It is apparent that adipocytes cultured under high glucose conditions produce diminished levels of heparan sulfate (without significant changes in N-sulfation). In conclusion, it is possible that the reduction in heparan sulfate in diabetes could contribute to the decreased levels of heparan sulfate associated lipoprotein lipase, leading to diabetic hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LpL) hydrolyzes chylomicron and very low density lipoprotein triglycerides to provide fatty acids to tissues. Aside from its lipolytic activity, LpL promotes lipoprotein uptake by increasing the association of these particles with cell surfaces allowing for the internalization by receptors and proteoglycans. Recent studies also indicate that LpL stimulates selective uptake of lipids from high density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low density lipoprotein. To study whether LpL can mediate selective uptake of lipids from low density lipoprotein (LDL), LpL was incubated with LDL receptor negative fibroblasts, and the uptake of LDL protein, labeled with (125)I, and cholesteryl esters traced with [(3)H]cholesteryl oleoyl ether, was compared. LpL mediated greater uptake of [(3)H]cholesteryl oleoyl ether than (125)I-LDL protein, a result that indicated selective lipid uptake. Lipid enrichment of cells was confirmed by measuring cellular cholesterol mass. LpL-mediated LDL selective uptake was not affected by the LpL inhibitor tetrahydrolipstatin but was nearly abolished by heparin, monoclonal anti-LpL antibodies, or chlorate treatment of cells and was not found using proteoglycan-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells. Selective uptake from HDL, but not LDL, was 2-3-fold greater in scavenger receptor class B type I overexpressing cells (SR-BI cells) than compared control cells. LpL, however, induced similar increases in selective uptake from LDL and HDL in either control or SR-BI cells, indicative of the SR-BI-independent pathway. This was further supported by ability of LpL to promote selective uptake from LDL in human embryonal kidney 293 cells, cells that do not express SR-BI. In Chinese hamster ovary cell lines that overexpress LpL, we also found that selective uptake from LDL was induced by both endogenous and exogenous LpL. Transgenic mice that overexpress human LpL via a muscle creatine kinase promoter had more LDL selective uptake in muscle than did wild type mice. In summary LpL stimulates selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from LDL via pathways that are distinct from SR-BI. Moreover this process also occurs in vivo in tissues where abundant LpL is present.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) physically associates with lipoproteins and hydrolyzes triglycerides. To characterize the binding of LPL to lipoproteins, we studied the binding of low density lipoproteins (LDL), apolipoprotein (apo) B17, and various apoB-FLAG (DYKDDDDK octapeptide) chimeras to purified LPL. LDL bound to LPL with high affinity (K(d) values of 10(-12) m) similar to that observed for the binding of LDL to its receptors and 1D1, a monoclonal antibody to LDL, and was greater than its affinity for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. LDL-LPL binding was sensitive to both salt and detergents, indicating the involvement of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. In contrast, the N-terminal 17% of apoB interacted with LPL mainly via ionic interactions. Binding of various apoB fusion peptides suggested that LPL bound to apoB at multiple sites within apoB17. Tetrahydrolipstatin, a potent enzyme activity inhibitor, had no effect on apoB-LPL binding, indicating that the enzyme activity was not required for apoB binding. LDL-LPL binding was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies that recognize amino acids 380-410 in the C-terminal region of LPL, a region also shown to interact with heparin and LDL receptor-related protein. The LDL-LPL binding was also inhibited by glycosaminoglycans (GAGs); heparin inhibited the interactions by approximately 50% and removal of trace amounts of heparin from LPL preparations increased LDL binding. Thus, we conclude that the high affinity binding between LPL and lipoproteins involves multiple ionic and hydrophobic interactions, does not require enzyme activity and is modulated by GAGs. It is proposed that LPL contains a surface exposed positively charged amino acid cluster that may be important for various physiological interactions of LPL with different biologically important molecules. Moreover, we postulate that by binding to this cluster, GAGs modulate the association between LDL and LPL and the in vivo metabolism of LPL.

Abstract
We used wild-type (WT) mice and mice engineered to express either apoB-100 only (B100 mice) or apoB-48 only (B48 mice) to examine the effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes (DM) on apoB-100- and apoB-48-containing lipoproteins. Plasma lipids increased with DM in WT mice, and fat tolerance was markedly impaired. Lipoprotein profiles showed increased levels and cholesterol enrichment of VLDL in diabetic B48 mice but not in B100 mice. C apolipoproteins, in particular apoC-I in VLDL, were increased. To investigate the basis of the increase in apoB-48 lipoproteins in streptozotocin-treated animals, we characterized several parameters of lipoprotein metabolism. Triglyceride and apoB production rates were normal, as were plasma lipase activity, VLDL glycosaminoglycan binding, and VLDL lipolysis. However, beta-VLDL clearance decreased due to decreased trapping by the liver. Whereas LRP activity was normal, livers from treated mice incorporated significantly less sulfate into heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) than did controls. Hepatoma (HepG2) cells and endothelial cells cultured in high glucose also showed decreased sulfate and glucosamine incorporation into HSPG. Western blots of livers from diabetic mice showed a decrease in the HSPG core protein, perlecan. Delayed clearance of postprandial apoB-48-containing lipoproteins in DM appears to be due to decreased hepatic perlecan HSPG.

Abstract
Several lines of clinical and experimental data suggest that postprandial lipemia is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. There are a number of reasons why processes that occur in the period immediately after eating could be deleterious to arteries. By understanding the links between postprandial lipemia and the accumulation of lipid within vessels, a more global understanding of how lipoproteins cause disease may be forthcoming. In this article recent information on the control of postprandial lipemia and the biological effects of chylomicron remnants and lipolysis products will be reviewed. Because this topic is broad, we will focus on the roles played by lipoprotein lipase and proteoglycans in this process.

Abstract
The major goal of this study was to determine the interactions of VLDL surface and core lipids with the artery wall. We first demonstrated in vitro that surface lipid in VLDL could be traced using the phospholipid-like fluorescent probe 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3, 3',3'-tetramethyl-indocarbocyanine (DiI). The core of VLDL particles was traced by fluorescently labeling apolipoprotein B with TRITC. The labeled VLDLs were perfused through rat carotid arteries, and accumulation of the fluorescently labeled VLDL components in the arterial walls was determined by quantitative fluorescence microscopy. Addition of lipoprotein lipase increased the accumulation of both DiI and TRITC by >2.3-fold. Histological examination showed that DiI and TRITC were primarily localized to the endothelial layer; however, DiI also accumulated as small "lakes" deeper in the artery, in a subendothelial position. Addition of HDL to the perfusion decreased the accumulation of surface lipid and apolipoprotein B-containing particles and eliminated the DiI lakes. Moreover, the increase in endothelial layer permeability associated with lipolysis was attenuated 21% by HDL. If VLDL surface lipid first was allowed to accumulate in the arterial wall, its subsequent rate of loss was more than twice as fast if HDL was included in the perfusate. These studies directly demonstrate atherogenic effects of VLDL lipolysis and their inhibition by HDL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several genetic analyses have suggested that lipoprotein lipase (LpL) genotypes causing decreased LpL activity correlate with increased triglyceride concentrations and risk for coronary artery disease. In contrast, in some other studies LpL activity was positively correlated with plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. OBJECTIVE To assess whether these different associations represent physiologic differences in lipoprotein metabolism. METHODS We correlated postheparin lipase activities, postprandial lipemia, and fasting lipoprotein concentrations in obese (BMI > or = 30 kg/m2, n = 26) and non-obese (BMI < or = 30 kg/m2, n = 57) individuals. LpL was measured using specific inhibitory antibodies. RESULTS Surprisingly, LpL activity was significantly correlated with triglyceride area under the curve after a fat load in the non-obese, but not the entire group. Moreover, in non-obese individuals, LpL activity correlated directly (r = 0.40) and hepatic lipase activity correlated inversely (r = -0.32) with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations. These relationships were not found in the obese group, in whom LpL correlated with LDL cholesterol concentrations (r = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that postheparin LpL activity relates to different lipoproteins in obese and non-obese individuals. In obesity, greater LpL activity may enhance conversion of very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to LDL cholesterol, whereas in non-obese individuals the correlation is with HDL cholesterol. Whether this is due to differences in the source of LpL (muscle or fat), or to other associated alterations in lipoprotein metabolism is unknown. These results may explain the non-uniformity of correlations between LpL and atherogenic lipoproteins in different populations.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), key proteins in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism, bind with high affinity to heparin and cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG). In the present study, we tested whether the expression of apoE or LPL would modulate proteoglycan (PG) metabolism in cells. Two apoE-expressing cells, macrophages and fibroblasts, and LPL-expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were used to study the effect of apoE and LPL on PG production. Cellular PGs were metabolically labeled with (35)[S]sulfate for 20 hours, and medium, pericellular PGs, and intracellular PGs were assessed. In all transfected cells, PG levels in the 3 pools increased 1.6- to 3-fold when compared with control cells. Initial PG production was assessed from the time of addition of radiolabeled sulfate; at 1 hour, there was no difference in PG synthesis by apoE-expressing cells when compared with control cells. After 1 hour, apoE-expressing cells had significantly greater production of PGs. Total production assessed with [(3)H]glucosamine was also increased. This was due to an increase in the length of the glycosaminoglycan chains. To assess whether the increase in PGs was due to a decrease in PG degradation, a pulse-chase experiment was performed. Loss of sulfate-labeled pericellular PGs was similar in apoE and control cells, but more labeled PGs appeared in the medium of the apoE-expressing cells. Addition of exogenous apoE and anti-human apoE antibody to both non-apoE-expressing and apoE-expressing cells did not alter PG production. Moreover, LPL addition did not alter cell-surface PG metabolism. These results show that enhanced gene expression of apoE and LPL increases cellular PG production. We postulate that such changes in vascular PGs can affect the atherogenic potential of arteries.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is known to inhibit cell proliferation; however, the mechanism of this inhibition is not clear. We recently showed that apoE stimulates endothelial production of heparan sulfate (HS) enriched in heparin-like sequences. Because heparin and HS are potent inhibitors of smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, in this study we determined apoE effects on SMC HS production and cell growth. In confluent SMCs, apoE (10 microg/ml) increased (35)SO(4) incorporation into PG in media by 25-30%. The increase in the medium was exclusively due to an increase in HSPGs (2.2-fold), and apoE did not alter chondroitin and dermatan sulfate proteoglycans. In proliferating SMCs, apoE inhibited [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA by 50%; however, despite decreasing cell number, apoE increased the ratio of (35)SO(4) to [(3)H]thymidine from 2 to 3.6, suggesting increased HS per cell. Purified HSPGs from apoE-stimulated cells inhibited cell proliferation in the absence of apoE. ApoE did not inhibit proliferation of endothelial cells, which are resistant to heparin inhibition. Analysis of the conditioned medium from apoE-stimulated cells revealed that the HSPG increase was in perlecan and that apoE also stimulated perlecan mRNA expression by >2-fold. The ability of apoE isoforms to inhibit cell proliferation correlated with their ability to stimulate perlecan expression. An anti-perlecan antibody completely abrogated the antiproliferative effect of apoE. Thus, these data show that perlecan is a potent inhibitor of SMC proliferation and is required to mediate the antiproliferative effect of apoE. Because other growth modulators also regulate perlecan expression, this may be a key pathway in the regulation of SMC growth.

Abstract
The effects of diabetes and lipoprotein lipase (LpL) on plasma lipids were studied in mice expressing human apolipoprotein B (HuBTg). Our overall objective was to produce a diabetic mouse model in which the sole effects of blood glucose elevation on atherosclerosis could be assessed. Mice were made diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, which led to a 2- to 2. 5-fold increase in plasma glucose. Lipids were assessed in mice on chow and on an atherogenic Western type diet (WTD), consisting of 21% (wt/wt) fat and 0.15% (wt/wt) cholesterol. Plasma triglyceride and cholesterol were the same in diabetic and non-diabetic mice on the chow diet. On the WTD, male diabetic HuBTg mice had a >50% increase in plasma cholesterol and more very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol and triglyceride as assessed by FPLC analysis. A Triton study showed no increase in triglyceride or apolipoprotein B production, suggesting that the accumulation of VLDL was due to a decrease in lipoprotein clearance. Surprisingly, the VLDL increase in these mice was not due to a decrease in LpL activity in postheparin plasma. To test whether LpL overexpression would alter these diabetes-induced lipoprotein changes, HuBTg mice were crossed with mice expressing human LpL in muscle. LpL overexpression reduced plasma triglyceride, but not cholesterol, in male mice on WTD. Aortic root atherosclerosis assessed in 32-week-old mice on the WTD was not greater in diabetic mice. In summary, diabetes primarily increased plasma VLDL in HuBTg mice. LpL activity was not decreased in these animals. However, additional LpL expression eliminated the diabetic lipoprotein changes. These mice did not have more atherosclerosis with diabetes.

Abstract
Conditions leading to oxidation of LDL in vivo are still unknown. While the occurrence of oxidized lipoproteins and catalytic free iron in advanced atherosclerotic lesions has been demonstrated, the origin of both is unclear. In vivo, iron metabolism is tightly regulated by iron-binding proteins that ensure that virtually no free iron exists. We examined whether physiological events such as lipolysis might reduce pH, facilitate iron release from transferrin (Tf), and promote low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. Lipolysis is brought about by lipoprotein lipase (LpL), a triglyceride hydrolase present on endothelial cell surfaces and in atherosclerotic lesions. LpL hydrolysis of Intralipid lowered pH from 7.40 to 7.00 in 10% human serum and from 7.40 to 6.88 in phosphate-buffered saline. Similar decreases in pH were also observed when very low density lipoproteins were hydrolyzed by LpL. Lipolysis was accompanied by a 2-fold increase in the release of 59Fe from Tf. Tf binding to subendothelial matrix (SEM), a site of key events in atherosclerosis, increased 2-fold as the pH decreased from 7.40 to 6.00. More free iron also bound to SEM as the pH decreased below 7.40. We next tested whether a reduction in pH promotes LDL oxidation. More oxidation products were found in LDL incubated at low pH for 24 h in 10% human serum. Malonaldehyde contents (nmol/mg protein), measured as TBARS, were 7.11 +/- 0.34 at pH 7.40, 7.65 +/- 0.49 at pH 7.00, 9.00 +/- 1.18 at pH 6.50, and 11. 54 +/- 0.63 at pH 6.00. Based on these results, we hypothesize that lipolysis-induced acidic conditions enhance iron release from Tf and increase formation of oxidized LDL.
