Paraoxonase prevents accumulation of lipoperoxides in low‐density lipoprotein

Abstract: Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (EDL) enhances its uptake by macrophaps in tissue culture and in vivo may underly the formation of arterial fatty streaks. the progenitors of atheroma. We investigated the possible protection which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) affords against LDL oxidation. The formation of lipoperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances when LDL was incubated with copper ions was significantly decreased by HDL. The enzyme, paraoxonase (E.C. 3.1.&l), purified from h… Show more

“…PON is an antioxidant enzyme found in the liver, arterial wall, and plasma, where it travels attached to HDL (41). It has an important action in preventing LDL oxidation by peroxynitrite, in turn preventing the generation of oxidized LDL in plasma (12). Apo A-I stabilizes the enzyme (41), hence, interference with Apo A-I or with the HDL molecule itself could cause a reduction in the activity of the enzyme.…”

“…Paraoxonase (PON) is an enzyme with antioxidant activity, which circulates in plasma attached to HDL. Its function is to prevent oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), accounting thus for the antioxidant effect of HDL and explaining why HDL has a protective effect against atherosclerosis (12,13). PON activity has been shown to decrease with age (14) and increase with intake of lipid-lowering drugs (15).…”

“…In the past few decades, it has become evident that high density lipoprotein (HDL) has antioxidant properties that protect LDL and HDL particles from oxidation. During this process, the HDLassociated enzyme paraoxonase1 (PON1) has been suggested as a possible mechanistic cause of this phenomenon [3,28,29,33,49]. PON1 belongs to the paraoxonase (PON) gene family which is located on chromosome 7q21.3-22.1 [37].…”

“…PON1 has protective action against atherosclerosis in both in vitro and in vivo models. 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].…”

“…The oxidation of NADPH was monitored at 340 nm and the activity was expressed as nmol oxidized NADPH/min/mg protein. The paraoxonase (PON1) activity was determined based from the method described by Mackness et al (1991). Briefly, 50 µl of serum was added to 1 ml Tris/HCl buffer (100 mM, pH 8.0) containing 2 mM CaCl 2 and 5.5 mM paraoxon.…”
