We investigated the formation of F2-isoprostanes produced by non-enzymatic peroxidation of arachidonic acid during rabbit aortic endothelial cell-mediated oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Free and total (sum of free and esterified) levels of F2-isoprostanes were measured using a solid-phase extraction procedure and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Free levels of F2-isoprostanes in native LDL were 0.06 +/- 0.03 ng/mg protein (n = 4), whereas total levels were 0.28 +/- 0.09 ng/mg protein (n = 4). Both free and total levels of the isoprostanes were found to increase during the oxidation. 8-epi-PGF2 alpha was the major isoprostane formed (free and total concentrations after 24 h, 2.50 +/- 0.24 and 6.42 +/- 1.36 ng/mg protein (n = 4), respectively). The release of F2-isoprostanes during aortic endothelial cell-induced oxidation of LDL could be a contributory factor in the development of atherosclerosis.
我们研究了兔主动脉内皮细胞介导的低密度脂蛋白(LDL)氧化过程中,由花生四烯酸非酶促过氧化产生的F2-异前列腺素的形成。采用固相萃取法和气相色谱-质谱联用技术测定F2-异前列腺素的游离水平和总水平(游离和酯化形式的总和)。天然LDL中F2-异前列腺素的游离水平为0.06±0.03 ng/mg蛋白质(n = 4),而总水平为0.28±0.09 ng/mg蛋白质(n = 4)。发现氧化过程中异前列腺素的游离水平和总水平均升高。8-表-前列腺素F2α是形成的主要异前列腺素(24小时后的游离和总浓度分别为2.50±0.24和6.42±1.36 ng/mg蛋白质,n = 4)。主动脉内皮细胞诱导LDL氧化过程中F2-异前列腺素的释放可能是动脉粥样硬化发展的一个促成因素。
