PG - 295-302 AB - The adherence of monocytes to the endothelium is an early event in atherogenesis which is modulated by low density lipoproteins (LDL). We analyzed the effect of atherogenic LDL levels (180 mg cholesterol/dl, for 24 h) with minimal oxidative modifications (thiobarbituric-acid-reactive-substances (TBARS) concentration between 1.2+/-0.1 and 2.5+/-0.3 nmol of malonaldehyde bis-diethyl acetal (MDA) per mg protein) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) adhesive properties. We used native LDL (n-LDL), and LDL exposed to spontaneous oxidation without antioxidants (mox-LDL) or with 20 micromol/l of the antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT-LDL) or 10 micromol/l U74500A (U74500A-LDL), a scavenger of free radicals. Thiobarbituric-acid-reactive-substances (TBARS) levels were significantly higher in mox-LDL (2.5+/-0.3 nmol MDA/mg protein) than in BHT-LDL (1.6+/-0.2), U74500A-LDL (1.2+/-0.1) or in n-LDL (1.3+/-0.1). mox-LDL induced the greatest adhesion of U937 cells to HUVEC (103+/-9% over controls) followed by BHT-LDL (75+/-10%), U74500A-LDL (36+/-9%) and n-LDL (35+/-3%). The lazaroid U74500A efficiently protected U74500A-LDL against oxidative damage and prevented endothelial adhesiveness associated with this LDL modification, inducing adhesion effects similar to those of n-LDL. However, U74500A could not reverse the adhesion induced by previously oxidized LDL (mox-LDL). LDL did not induce the expression of the intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) or E-selectin, but it produced a downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS III) mRNA levels. Thus, adhesiveness of human endothelial cells (EC) exposed to atherogenic concentrations of LDL is closely modulated by minimal changes in LDL oxidative state, and could be related to a downregulation of NOS III.
