| Abstract |
In the present study, we measured the antibody-catalyzed 03 formation from THP-1 monocytes activated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) by indigo carmine bleaching reaction test, and the accumulation of cholesterol in THP-1 monocytes by fluorescence spectrophotometric method, and analyzed the cholesterol ozonation product 5,6-secosterol by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), to explore the potential effect of antibody-catalyzed water oxidation on pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It was showed that THP-1 monocytes incubated with human IgG and PMA evidently produced an oxidant with the chemical signature of 03 which could bleach indigo carmine, and be intensified or inhibited respectively by catalase and vinylbenzoic acid. In the THP-1 monocytes incubated with human IgG, PMA and LDL, the intracellular accumulated total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol (FC), cholesteryl ester (CE) and the CE/TC increased evidently, and the cholesterol ozonation product 5,6-secosterol was also produced markly, all of that were inhibited by vinylbenzoic acid. These results demonstrated that the activated THP-1 monocytes possess the ability to produce O3 through antibody-catalyzed water-oxidation pathway, which could be a new mechanism concerned with atheriosclerosis.
