Abstract

Macrophages are well recognized as key pathophysiologic agents in many chronic inflammatory diseases, especially atherosclerosis. During atherogenesis process, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation (oxLDL) and become highly atherogenic as they induce a strong accumulation of cholesterol in subendothelial macrophages leading to the formation of foam cells, the major cellular component of fatty streaks. OxLDL are enriched in oxidation products of cholesterol called oxysterols involved in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, by their ability to induce cellular oxidative stress and cytotoxicity. Little is known about intracellular oxysterol production in macrophages. Using both radiochemical and mass analyzes, we showed that THP1 macrophages promote the intracellular oxidation of LDL derived-cholesterol as well as intracellular cholesterol, this later mechanism being enhanced by exposure with native or oxLDL. We demonstrated that in both THP1 and Raw 267.4 cells cholesterol oxidation occurs in the late endosomal compartment. Most oxysterols were produced by non-enzymatic routes (7-ketocholesterol and 7α/β-hydroxycholesterol) but enzymatically formed 7α-, 27-hydroxycholesterol were also quantified. Incubation of THP...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.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
