Objective: Chronic ischemia is associated with alterations in genes that result in myocardial remodeling. An important biochemical basis of cardiac remodeling is generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). A few studies have suggested that acute ischemia triggers signals for remodeling. We examined the hypothesis that targeted deletion of lectin-like oxidized-LDL receptor (LOX-1) may inhibit signals related to cardiac remodeling. Methods and results: We generated LOX-1 knockout (KO) mice on C57BL/6 (wild-type mice) background, and subjected wild-type and KO mice to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R). The wild-type mice developed a marked reduction in left ventricular systolic pressure and +/- dp/dt(max) and an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure following I-R, and this change was much less in the LOX-1 KO mice, indicating preservation of left ventricular function with LOX-1 deletion. There was evidence for marked oxidative stress (NADPH oxidase expression, malondialdehyde and 8-isoprostane) following I-R in the wild-type mice, much less so in the LOX-1 KO mice (P
