Previous studies have shown that macrophage receptors for oxidized LDL (OxLDL) recognize both the lipid and protein moieties, and that a monoclonal antibody against OxLDL, EO6, also recognizes both species.

Phospholipid Membrane Transport and Associated Diseases
Phospholipids are the basic structure block of eukaryotic membranes, in both the outer and inner membranes, which delimit cell organelles. Phospholipids can also be damaged by oxidative stress produced by mitochondria, for instance, becoming oxidized ...

Oxidized LDL induces alternative macrophage phenotype through activation of CD36 and PAFR [PDF]
OxLDL is recognized by macrophage scavenger receptors, including CD36; we have recently found that Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor (PAFR) is also involved.

Generation and Biological Activities of Oxidized Phospholipids [PDF]
Glycerophospholipids represent a common class of lipids critically important for integrity of cellular membranes. Oxidation of esterified unsaturated fatty acids dramatically changes biological activities of phospholipids. Apart from impairment of their structural function, oxidation makes oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) markers of “

Cholesterol is an essential component of eukaryotic cell membranes, regulating fluidity and permeability of the bilayer. Outside the membrane, cholesterol is esterified to fatty acids forming cholesterol esters (CEs).

Transcriptional networks specifying homeostatic and inflammatory programs of gene expression in human aortic endothelial cells. [PDF]
Endothelial cells (ECs) are critical determinants of vascular homeostasis and inflammation, but transcriptional mechanisms specifying their identities and functional states remain poorly understood.

Acute Hypercapnia/Ischemia Alters the Esterification of Arachidonic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Epoxide Metabolites in Rat Brain Neutral Lipids. [PDF]
In the brain, approximately 90% of oxylipins are esterified to lipids. However, the significance of this esterification process is not known. In the present study, we (1) validated an aminopropyl solid phase extraction (SPE) method for separating ...

Oral Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic D-4F Lowers HDL-Inflammatory Index in High-Risk Patients: A First-in-Human Multiple-Dose, Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
A single dose of the apolipoprotein (apo)A-I mimetic peptide D-4F rendered high-density lipoprotein (HDL) less inflammatory, motivating the first multiple-dose study. We aimed to assess safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of daily,

Nitro-fatty acid formation and metabolism [PDF]
Nitro-fatty acids (NO 2 -FA) are pleiotropic modulators of redox signaling pathways. Their effects on inflammatory signaling have been studied in great detail in cell, animal and clinical models primarily using exogenously administered nitro-oleic acid ...

Mixing of oxidized and bilayer phospholipids
Composition and phase dependence of the mixing of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), and 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), with the oxidized phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) were investigated by characterizing the aggregation states of DPPC/PGPC and DOPC/PGPC using a fluorescence ...
