pubmed:abstractText |
15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) expression in artery wall cells has been demonstrated during the development of atherosclerosis in various animal models. We examined whether the expression of 15-LO in aortic endothelial cells affects the gene expression of the adhesion molecule, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Transient transfection of human 15-LO cDNA into bovine aortic endothelial cells led to the expression of 15-LO protein and enzymatic activity. We studied the induction of VCAM-1 mRNA in these cells. 15-LO expressing cells showed no detectable levels of VCAM-1 message. However, when TNF was added to these cells there was a synergistic increase in VCAM-1 expression relative to cells that were transfected with control plasmid pcDNA I. Our data suggest that 15-LO expression in aortic endothelium may amplify the expression of VCAM-1 induced by inflammatory stimulus during atherogenesis.
