Mice lacking serum paraoxonase are susceptible to organophosphate toxicity and atherosclerosis

Abstract: Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is an esterase that is associated with high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) in the plasma; it is involved in the detoxification of organophosphate insecticides such as parathion and chlorpyrifos. PON1 may also confer protection against coronary artery disease by destroying pro-inflammatory oxidized lipids present in oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). To study the role of PON1 in vivo, we created PON1-knockout mice by gene targeting. Compared with their wild-type littermates, PON1-de… Show more

“…Studies of animal models [5][6][7] and in humans [8,9] are consistent with the hypothesis that PON1 decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering levels of oxidative stress, notably lipoprotein oxidation. In earlier studies, we proposed that HDL acquires PON1 by desorption from the hepatic cell membrane in a process probably mediated or facilitated by transient anchoring of HDL to the membrane [10].…”

“…The elevated oxidative stress burden in cardiovascular diseases may result in the formation of lipid peroxidation products in HDL, which in turn may negatively affect their beneficial features. In fact, HDL from mice lacking PON1 were unable to prevent the accumulation of lipid peroxides in LDL and these mice demonstrated an increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis, 144 while introduction of the human PON1 transgene in mice had opposite effects on the anti-oxidative functions of HDL and atherosclerosis. 145 Interestingly, if residing on the same HDL particle, PON1 and MPO were found to interact and reciprocally affect each other's enzymatic activity.…”

“…Indeed, PON1 protects LDL particles against copper-induced lipid oxidation in vitro [3,28,29] and transgenic mice overexpressing the human PON1 gene have reduced atherosclerotic lesions [48]. Moreover, PON1 knockout mice display accelerated atherosclerosis progression and increased lipid oxidation [40,42,43]. Epidemiological studies indicate that high PON1 activity is inversely associated with the progression of atherosclerosis and reduction in the incidence of coronary artery disease [2,4,25,26,30,33].…”
