Abstract
|
|
|
The effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and its major lipid constituent lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on Ca2£« entry were investigated in cultured human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) using fura-2 fluorescence and patch-clamp methods. OxLDL or LPC increased intracellular Ca2£« concentration ([Ca2£«]i), and the increase of [Ca2£«]i by OxLDL or by LPC was inhibited by La3£« or heparin. LPC failed to increase [Ca2£«]i in the presence of an antioxidant
tempol. In addition, store-operated Ca2£« entry (SOC), which was evoked by intracellular Ca2£« store depletion in Ca2£«-free solution using the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2£« pump blocker, 2, 5-di-t-butyl-1, 4-benzohydroquinone (BHQ), was further enhanced by OxLDL or by LPC. Increased SOC by OxLDL or by LPC was inhibited by U73122. In voltage-clamped cells, OxLDL or LPC increased [Ca2£«]i and simultaneously activated non-selective cation (NSC) currents. LPC-induced NSC currents were inhibited by 2-APB, La3£« or U73122, and NSC currents were not activated by LPC in the presence of tempol. Furthermore, in voltage-clamped HUVECs, OxLDL enhanced SOC and evoked outward
currents simultaneously. Clamping intracellular Ca2£« to 1 ¥ìM activated large-conductance Ca2£«-activated K£« (BKCa) current spontaneously, and this activated BKCa current was further enhanced by OxLDL or by LPC. From these results, we concluded that OxLDL or its main component LPC activates Ca2£«-permeable Ca2£«-activated NSC current and BKCa current simultaneously, thereby increasing SOC.
