Our group has previously demonstrated that oxidized phospholipids derived from mildly oxidized low density lipoprotein (MM-LDL) or oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (oxPAPC) increase monocyte-endothelial interactions. There are indications that the effects of these phospholipids are receptor mediated. Oxidized phospholipids have previously been

We previously have demonstrated that oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (OxPAPC), a component of minimally modified low density lipoprotein (MM-LDL), activates endothelial cells to bind monocytes. 1-Palmitoyl-2- (5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (POVPC) and 1- palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (PGPC), which are present in OxPAPC, MM-LDL, and atherosclerotic lesions, were

Hormonally regulated and particulate-associated phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was detected in endothelial cells from bovine pulmonary artery. The enzyme was solubilized and subjected to initial characterization. PLA2 activity was determined in subcellular fractions from bradykinin (BK)-stimulated and nonstimulated cells by following

Plasmenyl phospholipids are a structurally unique class of lipids that contain a vinyl ether substituent at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone, imparting unique susceptibility to oxidative reactions that may take place at the cell membrane lipid bilayer. Several
The enzyme CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) binds reversibly to membranes and is active only in its membrane-bound form. Membrane lipid composition influences the equilibrium between its soluble and membrane-bound forms. Whereas the enzyme is not activated by phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles, it
