Human plasma low density lipoprotein(LDL) is the main carrier for cholesterol, and recent studies suggest the normal LDL can be readily oxidized by free radical and not interact with LDL receptor. Lipoprotein pariticles are consisted of lipid andprotein, and fatty acids of lipoproteins are prone to oxidation. LDL particles readily undergo oxidative modification by copper. From the results, oxidized LDL altered its biological properties. A marked increase in the electrophoretic mobility of LDl on agarose gel indicated that negative surface charge of the LDL particles was increased. Also, the results from the HPLC showed that oxidized LDL was degraded into several polypeptides nonenzymatically. Degradation tests which measured the amount of 5-IAF labelled oxidized LDL were carried out by monocyte and hepatocyte cell culture. Hepatocyte cell culture of modified LDL did not show consistent pattern. However, binding rate of modified LDL with HMDM(human monocyte derived macrophage) was enhanced with oxidation, but was retarded by addition of antioxidants(hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E). Also comparisons of oxidized-LDL, acetyl-LDL and MDA-LDL showed significant differences in the chemical properteis and binding affinity to HMDM. Thus, modificaition of normal LDL altered its biological properties.

최근 지방 섭추의 증가에 따른 혈관계 질병이 증가 추세에 있다. 이러한 동맥경화 및 고지질의 질병은 지질 단백질(lipoprotein)과 관련하여, LDL 및 산화 LDL의 특성을 중심으로 고찰하였다. 인체의 혈장에 함유된 LDL 함량의 증가는, 동맥경화와 직결되는 것을 의미하며, 이러한 LDL은 매우 hydrophobic한 특성을 가진 550Kd의 단일 polypeptide인 Apo B-100라는 단백질이, 지질성분인 triglyceide, phospholipid 및 cholesterol와 결합되어 있다. 최근 이러한 LDL은 산화(oxidation)되는 경우, 정상적인 LDL-receptor pathway를 따르지 않고, macrophang와 결합하므로서, foarn cell을 형성하여 동백경화가 촉진되는 것으로 알려지고 있다.

Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) performs critical roles in atherosclerosis by inducing macrophage foam cell formation and promoting inflammation. There have been reports showing that oxLDL modulates macrophage cytoskeletal functions for oxLDL uptake and trapping, however, the precise mechanism has not been clearly elucidated. Our study examined the effect of oxLDL on non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHC-IIA) in macrophages. We demonstrated that oxLDL induces phosphorylation of MHC-IIA (Ser1917) in peritoneal macrophages from wild-type mice and THP-1, a human monocytic cell line, but not in macrophages deficient for CD36, a scavenger receptor for oxLDL. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor-treated macrophages did not undergo the oxLDL-induced MHC-IIA phosphorylation. Our immunoprecipitation revealed that oxLDL increased physical association between PKC and MHC-IIA, supporting the role of PKC in this process. We conclude that oxLDL via CD36 induces PKC-mediated MHC-IIA (Ser1917) phosphorylation and this may affect oxLDL-induced functions of macrophages involved in atherosclerosis.

갈근(Puerariae radix)을 MeOH 추출물에서 silica gel column chromatography를 이용하여 플라보노이드 화합물인 daidzin 및 puerarin를 분리하여 low density li-poprotein의 산화에 대하여 실험하였다. 이들 플라보노이드중 daidzin의 경우 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$에서 puerarin은 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도에서 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$ 매개산화 LDL에 대하여 억제 효과가 좋았다. 이때 같은 농도의 diadzin과 puerarin를 첨가한 산화 LDL의 전기영동의 이동거리는 native LDL 보다는 약간 높았으나 oxidized LDL의 대조군 보다는 이동거리가 낮았다. 또 J774 및 macrophages 유도 산화 LDL에 있어서도 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ daidzin과 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ puerarin을 첨가 하였을 때 억제효과 나타났다. LDL을 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$존재하에서 산화시킬 때 동일 농도의 daidzin과 puerarin 을 첨가하면 conjugated dienes의 생성이 거의 억제되었다.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL)의 산화는 동맥경화의 유발과 진행에 결정적 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 마늘의 주요 대사산물인 allylmercaptan의 산화 low density lipoprotein에 의해 손상된 내피세포의 보호효과에 대하여 실험하였다. Allylmercaptan의 항산화 활성은 thiobarbituric acid substance (TBARS)로 측정하였다. Allylmercaptan은 0.1, 1 및 10 mM의 농도에서 $Cu^{2+}$에 의해 유도된 LDL의 산화를 용량의존적으로 억제하였다. 폐동맥 내피세포를 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ 상태에서 24시간 동안 미리 배양시킨 후 세측한 다음 다시 24시간 동안 0.1 mg/ml oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)을 첨가하여 배양하였다. 이 때 ox-LDL이 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)의 방출과 glutathione (GSH)를 감소시키는 원인으로 세포막 손상의 지표로 LDH와 GSH 함량을 조사하였다. 본 실험 결과 allylmercaptan을 일정 농도 별로 endothelial cell에 첨가하여 배양했을 때 LDH의 방출과 GSH의 감소를 현저하게 억제하였다. Peroxide를 형광분석법으로 24 well plate에서 직접 측정한 결과 allylmercaptan이 폐동맥 내피세포 내에서 ox-LDL 유도 peroxide의 방출을 억제하였다. 그리고 allylmercaptan은 과산화수소의 소거능도 있었다. 본 실험결과 allylmercaptan은 ox-LDL 유도 폐동맥 내피세포를 보호할 수 있었으므로 allylmercaptan은 동맥경화의 예방에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Obesity has become a very significant health problem in childhood. Fructose taken in an uncontrolled manner and consumed in excessive amounts is rapidly metabolized in the body and gets converted into fatty acids. This single center prospective case-control study aims to investigate the relationship between fructose consumption and obesity and the role of fructose consumption in development of atherosclerotic diseases. Methods: A total of 40 obese and 40 healthy children who were of similar ages (between 8 and 18 years) and sexes were included in the study. In the patient and control groups, the urine fructose levels, as well as the levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), small dense LDL, Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B values, which have been shown to play a role in development of atherosclerotic diseases, were measured. Results: The levels of oxidized LDL and small dense LDL and the ratio of Apolipoprotein A/Apolipoprotein B were found to be significantly higher in the patient group. Conclusion: We found that urinary fructose levels were higher in the obese children than the healthy children. Our results suggest that overconsumption of fructose in children triggers atherogenic diseases by increasing the levels of small dense LDL and oxidized LDL and the ratio of Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A.

It is known that appropriate exercise changes body composition and improves coronary artery disease. This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationships between aerobic exercise, body composition, and the blood lipid levels in the middle-aged women(33 to 54 years old). The 57 subjects were divided into two groups based on their exercise: the aerobic exercise group(A group: 44) which performed at about $60\%$ of $VO_2max$ during over 6 months and the sedentary one(S group: 13). The percentages of body fat waist/hip ratio(WHR), body mass, and lean body mass of two groups were measured and compared in serum HDLC level and oxidized LDL level, the two most effective factors of coronary artery disease. The subjects in A group showed the lower percentages of body fat and WHR, when compared with the ones in S group. The body mass and lean body mass of A group subjects were higher than those of S group subjects. The serum HDL-C level$(58.6\pm12.7mg/mL)$ was significantly higher for A than S group subjects.(p<0.05) The sem ox-LDL level $(6.64\pm4.11Eu/mL)$ for A group subjects was lower than S group ones. The fat mass showed significantly positive correlations with atherogenic index(AI)(r=0.301, p<0.05), and with blood glucose levels(r=0.334, p<0.05). Also the WHR whowed significantly positive correlations with LDL-C levels(r=0.277, p<0.05), and with AI(r=0.466, p<0.01). In summary, the subjects in A group have the lower percentages of body fat and WHR, when compared with the ones in S group. Also, A group subject showed a tendency that exercise enhances serum HDL-C levels and decreases oxidized LDL levels. And aerobic exercise showed positive results which change body composition and improve blood lipid levels. There were significantly positive correlations among the percentages of body fat At and blood glucose level. These results suggest that moderately intensive exercise is a significant factor in reducing coronary artery disease.

The oxidative notification of low density lipoprotein(LDL) has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Oxidized LDL are found in macrophage foam cell, and it can induce an macrophage proliferation in atherosclerotic plaque. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that Samkieum may reduce atherosclerosis by lowering the oxidiazability of LDL, To achieve this goal, we examined the effect of Samkieum on LDL oxidation nitric oxide production in mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264.7, and the effect of Samkieum on cupuric sulfate-induced cytotoxicity, LDH release, and macrophage activity. Samkieum inhibited the generation of oxidized LDL from native LDL in RAW264.7 cell culture, and decreased the release of LDH from cupric sulfate-stimulated RAW264.7 cell. In other experiments, Samkieum activated RAW264.7 cell, and prolonged the survival time, and increased nitric oxide production in Raw 264.7 cells.

Lipopretein(a)[Lp(a)] is a macromolecular complex found in human plasma that combines structural elements composed of LDL and apo(a), and that is associated with premature coronary heart disease and stroke. In this study, various samples which consisted of normal and abnormal LDL and LP(a) were selected for compar-ison. The above samples were incubated with copper in order to oxidize and to compare atheroma formation, in vitro and free radical formation of Lp(a) was decreased compared to purified LDl. And LDL or Lp(a) from a 40 year old donor was higher in the free radical formation than that fro, a 20 years old donor. In order to investigate the macrophage foam cell formation, oxidized LDL of Lp(a) was incubated with human monocyte derived macrophage(HMDM). Oxidized samples enhanced on acceptability f foam cell formation by HMDM were compared to the control group. Also, structural change of LDL and Lp(a) against oxidation times were found from HPLC mapping.
