          Abstract

          In this study we examined the effect of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) on the intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) and whether this increase occurs through its binding to the endothelial receptor lectin-like ox-LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1). Furthermore, this study also aimed to ascertain whether the binding of ox-LDL to LOX-1 is associated with NF-kappaB activation. ox-LDL induced a significant dose-dependent increase in ROS production after a 30-s incubation with BAECs (p < 0.01). ROS formation was markedly reduced in BAECs incubated with anti-LOX-1 monoclonal antibody (p < 0.001), while control nonimmune IgG produced no effect. ox-LDL induced a time- and dose-dependent significant increase in ROS formation only in CHO-K1 cells stably expressing bovine LOX-1 (p < 0.001), while no increase was present in CHO-K1 cells. The activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB in BAECs was evident after a 5-min incubation with ox-LDL and was attenuated by anti-LOX-1 monoclonal antibody. The conclusion is that one of the pathophysiological consequences of ox-LDL binding to LOX-1 may be the activation of NF-kappaB through an increased ROS production.
