| Abstract: | AIM:To explore the effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and one of its component— lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on cholesterol efflux from mouse macrophage foam cells.METHODS:(1) Cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI from mouse peritoneal macrophage foam cells loaded with OxLDL or acylated LDL(AcLDL) was measured. (2) Cholesterol efflux induced by LPC and apoAI from macrophage foam cells separated from normal or apoE gene deficient (E0) mouse loaded with AcLDL were measured.RESULTS:(1) When the macrophage foam cells were incubated with apoAI, cholesterol efflux from AcLDL-induced macrophage foam cells increased significantly compared to that of OxLDL-induced macrophage foam cells. (2) LPC promoted cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells in relation to both dosage and time. When LPC was incubated with E0 mouse macrophage foam cells, the released cholesterol mass was significantly lower than that of normal mouse macrophage foam cells. It was also found that cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI normally occurred in E0 mouse macrophage foam cells.CONCLUSIONS:(1) OxLDL accumulated cholesterol in macrophages and impair cholesterol efflux. (2) LPC induced cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells, which may occur via apoE pathway. |
