Abstract:
:Peroxynitrite (PN), the product of the diffusion-limited reaction between nitric oxide (*NO) and superoxide (O*-(2)), represents a relevant mediator of oxidative modifications in low-density lipoprotein (LDL). This work shows for the first time the simultaneous action of low-controlled fluxes of PN and *NO on LDL oxidation in terms of lipid and protein modifications as well as oxidized lipid-protein adduct formation. Fluxes of PN (e.g., 1 microM min(-1)) initiated lipid oxidation in LDL as measured by conjugated dienes and cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides formation. Oxidized-LDL exhibited a characteristic fluorescent emission spectra (lambda(exc) = 365 nm, lambda(max) = 417 nm) in parallel with changes in both the free amino groups content and the relative electrophoretic mobility of the particle. Physiologically relevant fluxes of *NO (80-300 nM min(-1)) potently inhibited these PN-dependent oxidative processes. These results are consistent with PN-induced adduct formation between lipid oxidation products and free amino groups of LDL in a process prevented by the simultaneous presence of *NO. The balance between rates of PN and *NO production in the vascular wall will critically determine the final extent of LDL oxidative modifications leading or not to scavenger receptor-mediated LDL uptake and foam cell formation.
