ObjectivesConsiderable attention has been focused on both mildly oxidized low-density lipoprotein (mox-LDL) and highly oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) as important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Further, angiotensin II (Ang II) appears to play a crucial role in the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis. We assessed the effect of oxidatively modified LDL and its major oxidative components, ie, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and their interaction with Ang II on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) DNA synthesis.Methods:Growth-arrested rabbit VSMCs were incubated in serum-free medium with different concentrations of native LDL, mox-LDL, ox-LDL, H 2 O 2, LPC, or HNE with or without Ang II. DNA synthesis in VSMCs was measured by [3 H] thymidine incorporation.Results:Ang II stimulated DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner with a maximal effect at a concentration of 1 μmol/l (173%). Ang II (0.5 μmol/l) amplified the effect of native LDL at 500 ng/ml, ox-LDL at 100 ng/ml, and mox-LDL at 50 ng/ml on DNA synthesis (108 to 234%, 124 to 399%, 129 to 433%, respectively). H 2 O 2 had a maximal effect at a concentration of 5 μmol/l (177%), LPC at 15 μmol/l (156%), and HNE at 0.5 μmol/l (137%). Low concentrations of H 2 O 2 (1 μmol/l), LPC (5 μmol/l), or HNE (0.1 μmol/l) also acted synergisitically with Ang II (0.5 μmol/l) in inducing DNA synthesis to 308, 304, or 238%, respectively. Synergistic interactions of Ang II (0.5 μmol/l) with mox-LDL, ox-LDL (both 50 ng/ml), H 2 O 2 (1 μmol/l), LPC (5 μmol/l), or HNE (0.1 μmol/l) on DNA synthesis were completely reversed by the combined use of probucol (10 μmol/l), a potent antioxidant and candesartan (0.1 μmol/l), an AT 1 receptor antagonist.ConclusionsOur results suggest that mox-LDL, ox-LDL, and their major components H 2 O 2, LPC, and HNE act synergistically with Ang II in inducing VSMC DNA synthesis. A combination of antioxidants with AT 1 receptor blockade may be effective in the treatment of VSMC proliferative disorders associated with hypertension and atherosclerosis.
