Περιγραφή
Oxidation of LDL is thought to be involved in both initiating and sustaining atherogenesis through the formation of proinflammatory lipids and the covalent modification of LDL particles. Platelet- activating factor (PAF; 1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a potent phospholipid mediator involved in inflammation. Upon oxidation of LDL, oxidized phospholipids with PAF-like structure are generated, and some of them may act via the PAF receptor. We evaluated the contribution of 1-0-hexadecyl-2-acetylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C16:0 PAF) and of other PAF analogs on the PAF-like bioactivity formed upon Cu2+- initiated oxidation of LDL. Reverse-phase HPLC purification and electrospray ionization-MS analyses showed that upon oxidation of LDL with inactivated PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), C16:0 PAF accounted for > 30% of PAF-like biological activity and its sn-2 butenoyl analog accounted for > 50%. However, upon LDL oxidation in the presence of exogenous 1-0-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PAF) without PAF-AH inactivation, C16:0 PAF formation accounted for > 90% of the biological activity recovered. We suggest that the C16:0 PAF, despite being a minor constituent of the LDL peroxidation products, may contribute substantially to the bioactivity formed in oxidized LDL. The higher bioactivity of C16:0 PAF, and the higher selectivity of the LDL-attached lyso-PAF transacetylase toward very short acyl chains [acetate (C2) vs. butanate (C4)], may explain the contribution described above.
