Mechanisms of copper- and iron-dependent oxidative modification of human low density lipoprotein

Abstract

Oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been suggested as a causal step in atherosclerosis, and both redox-active transition metal ions and superoxide (O2.-) have been implicated in this process. In order to determine the mechanisms of metal ion-dependent oxidation of LDL in the presence of O2.-, LDL was exposed to hypoxanthine (HX) and purified xanthine oxidase (XO) without and with added CuCl2 or Fe(3+)-citrate. Production of O2.- and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at pH 7.4 by the HX/XO system in the absence of metal ions was not sufficient to oxidize LDL. Preincubation of LDL with Cu2+ or Fe(3+)-citrate with subsequent removal of metal ions not tightly bound to the lipoprotein did not enable the HX/XO system to oxidize LDL. However, incubation of LDL with HX/XO and Cu2+ resulted in extensive modification of LDL. Exposure of LDL to Cu2+ alone also led to extensive modification, although the LDL was initially free of detectable amounts of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), i.e., < 0.005 molecules of LOOH per LDL particle. Although HX/XO and Cu2+ did not produce detectable amounts of O2.- or aqueous hydroxyl radicals (HO.), oxidation of LDL under these conditions was partially inhibited by superoxide dismutase, and completely inhibited by the HO. scavenger thiourea. In contrast to Cu(2+)-mediated oxidation of LDL, oxidation mediated by Fe(3+)-citrate was strictly dependent upon O2.-, as it was abolished by omission of the HX/XO system or by addition of superoxide dismutase to this system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
