Background-Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) accumulation in the atherosclerotic region may enhance plaque instability. Both accumulation of ox-LDL and expression of its lectin-like receptor, LOX-1, have been shown in atherosclerotic regions. This study was designed to examine the role of LOX-1 in the modulation of metalloprotemases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs).Methods and Results-HCAECs were incubated with ox-LDL (10 to 80 mug/mL) for I to 24 hours. Ox-LDL increased the expression of MMP-1 (collagenase) and MMP-3 (stromelysin-1) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Ox-LDL also increased collagenase activity. Ox-LDL did not significantly affect the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Native LDL had no effect on the expression of MMPs. The effects of ox-LDL were mediated by its endothelial receptor, LOX-1, because pretreatment of HCAECs with a blocking antibody to LOX-1 (JTX92, 10 mug/mL) prevented the expression of MMPs in response to ox-LDL (P
