Within arterial bifurcations or branching points, oscillatory shear stress (OSS) induces oxidative stress mainly via the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleodtide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase system. It is unknown whether 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) can regulate OSS-mediated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) modifications. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were pretreated with E(2) at 5 nmol/L, followed by exposure to OSS (0 +/- 3.0 dynes/cm(2) s and 60 cycles/min) in a flow system. E(2) decreased OSS-mediated NADPH oxidase mRNA expression, and E(2)-mediated (.-)NO production was mitigated by the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-argenine methyl ester. The rates of O(2)(-.) production in response to OSS increased steadily as determined by superoxide-dismutase-inhibited ferricytochrome c reduction; whereas, pretreatment with E(2) decreased OSS-mediated O(2)(-.) production (n = 4, p < 0.05). In the presence of native LDL (50 microg/mL), E(2) also significantly reversed OSS-mediated LDL oxidation as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. In the presence of O(2)(-.) donor, xanthine oxidase (XO), E(2) further reversed XO-induced LDL lipid peroxidation (n = 3, p < 0.001). Mass spectra acquired in the m/z 400-1800 range, revealed XO-mediated LDL protein nitration involving tyrosine 2535 in the alpha-2 domains, whereas pretreatment with E(2) reversed nitration, as supported by the changes in nitrotyrosine intensities. Thus, E(2) plays an indirect antioxidative role. In addition to upregulation of endothelial (.-)NO synthase and downregulation of Nox4 expression, E(2) influences LDL modifications via lipid peroxidation and protein nitration.
