| Popis: | Recognition and uptake of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) by scavenger receptors of macrophages and foam cell formation are mediated by the oxidatively modified apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and lipid moiety of oxLDL. A great amount of oxidized phosphatidylcholine (oxPC) of oxLDL is hydrolyzed at the sn-2 position by lipoprotein associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) to lysophosphatidylcholine and small oxidation products. This study examines the involvement of Lp-PLA(2) in the uptake of oxLDL by mouse peritoneal macrophages. LDL with intact Lp-PLA(2) activity [LDL (+)] and LDL with completely inhibited Lp-PLA(2) activity [LDL (-)] were subjected to oxidation with 5 mu M CuSO(4) for 6 h [moderately oxLDL (MoxLDL)], or 24 h [heavily oxLDL (HoxLDL)] and peritoneal macrophages were incubated with these preparations. The uptake of MoxLDL(-) was about 30% increased compared with that of MoxLDL(+), and HoxLDL(-) uptake was about 20% increased compared with that of HoxLDL(+). Inhibition of Lp-PLA(2) activity had no effect on the uptake of ApoB-liposomes conjugates with ApoB isolated from MoxLDL(-), MoxLDL(+), HoxLDL(-), and HoxLDL(+). Liposomes prepared from the lipid extract of MoxLDL(-), MoxLDL(+), HoxLDL(-), and HoxLDL(+) exhibited a similar pattern to that observed in the uptake of the corresponding intact lipoproteins.jlr This study suggests that the progressive inactivation of Lp-PLA(2) during LDL oxidation leads to an increased uptake of oxLDL by macrophages, which could be primarily attributed to the increased uptake of the oxidized phospholipids enriched lipid moiety of oxLDL.-Markakis, K.
