A specific lectinlike endothelial receptor for oxidized low density lipoprotein (LOX-1), distinct from the scavenger receptor in monocytes/macrophages, has been identified and cloned. In this study, we examined the regulation of LOX-I by oxidized low density Lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and determined the role of LOX-1 in ox-LDL-indnced apoptosis of cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). Incubation of HCAECs with ox-LDL (40 mu g/mL), but not native LDL, for 24 hours markedly increased LOX-I expression (mRRTA and protein). After 48 hours of preincubation of HCAECs with a specific antisense to LOX-I mRNA (antisense LOX-1), ox-LDL mediated upregulation of LOX-I was suppressed (P
