Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) on neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation using HL-60-derived neutrophils. OxLDL, but not native LDL, enhanced PMA-induced NET formation with enhanced release of myeloperoxidase into the culture media, leading to elongation of human aortic endothelial cells and increased inflammatory responses. These data suggest that oxLDL may play important roles in exacerbating endothelial functions through accelerating NET formation.
