Exogenous Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Injures and Alters the Barrier Function of Endothelium in Rats In Vivo
the Department of Cell Biology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio.
Oxidation converts low-density lipoprotein (LDL) into a cytotoxin in vitro. Oxidized LDL exists in vivo in atherosclerotic lesions and possibly in plasma. Many cell functions are altered in vitro by oxidized LDL, but few have been examined in vivo. To test whether oxidized LDL could injure endothelial cells and alter endothelial permeability to macromolecules in vivo, we infused oxidized LDL, native LDL, or their solvent intravenously into rats. Subsequently, endothelial cell injury and proliferation were measured, and the transport into the aorta wall of the macromolecule horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was quantified. Transport data were analyzed using mathematical models of macromolecular transport; parameters were estimated by optimally fitting model-predicted HRP concentrations to experimental data. Compared with native LDL or solvent control infusion, oxidized LDL infusion increased (1) the number of injured aortic endothelial cells fivefold to sixfold at 36 hours, (2) proliferation of endothelial cells at 48 hours, (3) intimal and medial accumulations of HRP twofold to threefold at 48 hours, and (4) the permeability coefficient of the endothelium to HRP fourfold to fivefold at 48 hours. Hence, oxidized LDL administered in vivo can injure the endothelium, despite the presence of endogenous antioxidants, compromising the function of the endothelium as a permeability barrier.
Key Words: atherosclerosis • lipoprotein, low-density, modified • cytotoxicity • biological transport • vascular permeability
