Low density lipoprotein and its oxidized form has been implicated in the process of arteriosclerosis which involves growth-related events in the smooth muscle cells of the arterial wall. The induction of so-called early-growth response genes e.g. c-myc and c-fos can serve as an indicator for these growth-related events. In cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells, both LDL and HDL3 were individually capable of stimulating c-myc and c-fos expression in a concentration dependent manner. However, when they were used in combination, depending on the proportion of HDL3 to LDL, c-fos but not c-myc expression was less pronounced than with the single components. In contrast to HDL3 and LDL alone, a combination of the two lipoproteins also blunted both the expression of autoinduced transforming growth factor beta transcripts and the transforming growth factor beta-induced increase of c-fos mRNA. It is concluded that a) the inhibition of transforming growth factor beta autostimulation by HDL3 plus LDL may involve reduced AP-1 activity via a reduction of c-fos expression by the lipoprotein combination and b) the ratio HDL3:LDL might influence the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis via growth-related events in the arterial wall.
