Human monocytes/macrophages release TNF-alpha in response to Ox-LDL

Abstract

The uptake of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) by intimal macrophages is believed to play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. The present study demonstrates that Ox-LDL in low concentrations activates monocyte/macrophage release of factors that stimulate smooth muscle cell growth, whereas higher concentrations are inhibitory. Exposure of monocytes/macrophages to 8 micrograms/mL Ox-LDL increased expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA but had no effect on interleukin-1 beta, platelet-derived growth factor B and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like mitogen mRNA levels. Ox-LDL also stimulated monocyte/macrophage release of TNF-alpha in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal effect at an LDL concentration of 8 micrograms/mL. Addition of TNF-alpha-blocking antibodies to conditioned medium from monocytes/ macrophages already exposed to Ox-LDL reduced mitogenic activity by 44.7 +/- 8.4% (P < .005). Stimulation of TNF-alpha release by Ox-LDL was associated with activation of transcription factor AP-1, whereas the activity of transcription factor nuclear factor-kB remained unchanged. These findings suggest that enhanced secretion of TNF-alpha by macrophages exposed to Ox-LDL m...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
