Abstract
Copper-induced peroxidation of lipoproteins involves continuous production of free radicals via a redox cycle of copper. Formation of Cu(I) during Cu(II)-induced peroxidation of LDL was previously demonstrated by accumulation of the colored complexes of Cu(I) in the presence of one of the Cu(I)-specific chelators bathocuproine (BC) or neocuproine (NC). All the studies conducted thus far employed high concentrations of these chelators (chelator/Cu(II) > 10). Under these conditions, at low copper concentrations the chelators prolonged the lag preceding oxidation, whereas at high copper concentrations the chelators shortened the lag. In an attempt to gain understanding of these non-monotonic effects, we have studied systematically the peroxidation of LDL (0.1 microM, 50 microg protein/mL) at varying concentrations of NC or BC over a wide range of concentrations of the chelators and copper. These studies revealed that: (i) At copper concentrations of 5 microM and below, NC prolonged the lag in a monotonic, dose-dependent fashion typical for other complexing agents. However, unlike with other chelators, the maximal rate of oxidation was only slightly reduced (if at all). (ii) At copper concentrations of 15 microM and above, the addi...Continue Reading
