Abstract—Circulating monocytes and T lymphocytes extravasate through the endothelium at sites of developing atheromatous lesions, where they tend to accumulate and mediate the progression of the disease. We have previously demonstrated the presence of an enzymatically degraded, nonoxidized form of LDL (E-LDL) in early human fatty streaks, which possesses major biological properties of an atherogenic lipoprotein. The effects of E-LDL on human endothelial cells have now been studied with respect to adhesion and transmigration of monocytes and T lymphocytes. E-LDL induced a rapid and dose-dependent selective adhesion of monocytes and T lymphocytes to endothelial cell monolayers within 30 minutes of incubation. Maximal increases in the number of adherent monocytes (8-fold) and of adherent T lymphocytes (4-fold) were observed after treatment with 50 µg/mL E-LDL. E-LDL was more active than oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), whereas native LDL produced only minor adhesive effects. Both E-LDL and ox-LDL enhanced transmigration of monocytes and of T lymphocytes through endothelial monolayers. Again, E-LDL was more potent than ox-LDL, inducing transmigration to a similar extent as N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. In endothelial cells, E-LDL stimulated upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), platelet-endothelial cells adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), P-selectin, and E-selectin with distinct kinetics. Analyses with blocking antibodies indicated that ICAM-1 and P-selectin together mediated approximately 70% of cell adhesion, whereas blocking of PECAM-1 had no effect on adhesion but reduced transmigration to less than 50% of controls. E-LDL also upregulated expression of ICAM-1 in human aortic smooth muscle cells, and this correlated with increased adhesion of T lymphocytes. E-LDL is thus able to promote the selective adhesion of monocytes and T lymphocytes to the endothelium, stimulate transmigration of these cells, and foster their retention in the vessel wall by increasing their adherence to smooth muscle cells. These findings underline the potential significance of E-LDL in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
