This study aimed to investigate the function and signaling pathway of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced up-regulated expressions of oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were incubated with different oxLDL concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 μg/mL) for 24 and 48 h. The influence of oxLDL on TLR4, LOX-1… 

Novel function of fluvastatin in attenuating oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced endothelial cell ferroptosis in a glutathione peroxidase4- and cystine-glutamate antiporter-dependent manner

The present study was the first to discover that fluvastatin may protect endothelial cells from ox-LDL-induced ferroptosis and dysfunction, and knockdown of GPx4 and xCT expression blunted the protective effects of fluVastatin on ox- LDL-treated endothelium cells.

DFMG attenuates the activation of macrophages induced by co-culture with LPC-injured HUVE-12 cells via the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway

DFMG attenuated the activation of MP induced by co-culture with LPC-injured HUVE-12 cells, mediated via inhibition of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in H UVE- 12 cells.

LOX-1: Regulation, Signaling and Its Role in Atherosclerosis

Different mechanisms for regulation, signaling and the various effects of LOX-1 in contributing to atherosclerosis are focused on.

The role of the lectin-like oxLDL receptor (LOX-1) in traffic-generated air pollution exposure-mediated alteration of the brain microvasculature in Apolipoprotein (Apo) E knockout mice

Findings suggest that alterations in brain microvascular structure and integrity observed with MVE-exposure may be mediated, at least in part, via LOX-1 signaling.

MiR-126 promotes endothelial cell apoptosis by targeting PI 3 K / Akt in rats with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans

In rats with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), miR-126 represses the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to accelerate endothelial cell apoptosis and is proven via the Luciferase assay.

Apoptosis in HUVECs induced by microRNA-616-3p via X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein targeting

It is demonstrated that microRNA (miR)-616-3p can directly inhibit the expression of XIAP mRNA by targeting its 3'UTR which promoted apoptosis in HUVECs.

Ox-LDL treatment significantly increased BMP-2 expression, which is associated with NF-kappaB activation, but BMP -2 expression was suppressed by treatment with PDTC or atorvastatin, and the increase in MDA levels and decrease in activities of total SOD caused by ox- LDL treatment were reversed by the treatment of PDTC and atorVastatin.
