H2O2 but not $${\hbox{O}_{2}^{-}}$$ elevated by oxidized LDL enhances human aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation

Abstract: The oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) as a key event in atherosclerosis suggests that antioxidant interventions may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. However, the better strategies among antioxidant remedies for atherosclerosis remains difficult to be determined. Here, we show that oxidized LDL increases the steady-state level of intracellular hydrogen peroxide through stimulating the protein expressions of Nox1 and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) in human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The int… Show more

“…Though it is clear that increased ROS levels are crucial to stimulating VSMC proliferation and migration, there is debate as to whether O 2 •− , H 2 O 2 , or both are the primary species responsible. Yin and Huang suggested that increased H 2 O 2 levels mediated by stimulation of both NOX1 and SOD accelerate VSMC proliferation [42]. However, other reports show that increasing O 2 •− production via stimulation of NOX1 is sufficient to drive VSMC proliferation [14,15,43].…”

“…Studies have demonstrated regression or a lower degree of atherosclerosis in experimental animals prone to the development of atherosclerosis, especially in LDLr −/− and ApoE −/− mice subjected to different benefits have been demonstrated by others 40,41) . The co-expression of CAT is important to decrease the proliferation of smooth muscle cells induced by oxLDL 42) . In addition, hydrogen peroxide increases the proliferation of these cells, resulting in an increased atherosclerotic process, but in the presence of CAT such proliferation does not occur 42) .…”
