Abstract

Native low density lipoprotein (LDL) does not affect monocyte/macrophage motility. On the other hand, oxidatively modified LDL inhibits the motility of resident peritoneal macrophages yet acts as a chemotactic factor for circulating human monocytes. We now show that lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PtdCho), which is generated by a phospholipase A2 activity during LDL oxidation, is a potent chemotactic factor for monocytes. It is not chemotactic for neutrophils or for resident macrophages. Platelet-activating factor, after treatment with phospholipase A2, becomes chemotactic for monocytes, whereas the intact factor is not. Synthetic 1-palmitoyl-lyso-PtdCho showed chemotactic activity comparable to that of the lyso-PtdCho fraction derived from oxidized LDL. The results suggest that lyso-PtdCho in oxidized LDL may favor recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during the early stages of atherogenesis. Generation of lyso-PtdCho, either from LDL itself or from membrane phospholipids of damaged cells, could play a more general role in inflammatory processes throughout the body.

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.
