It is difficult to assess the transport pathways that carry low-density lipoprotein (LDL) into the artery wall in vivo, and there has been no previous in vitro study that has examined transendothelial transport under physiologically relevant pressurized (convective) conditions. Therefore, we measured water, albumin, and LDL fluxes across bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) monolayers in vitro and determined the relative contributions of vesicles, paracellular transport through “breaks” in the tight junction, and “leaky” junctions associated with dying or dividing cells. Our results show that leaky junctions are the dominant pathway for LDL transport (>90%) under convective conditions and that albumin also has a significant component of transport through leaky junctions (44%). Transcellular transport of LDL by receptor-mediated processes makes a minor contribution (<10%) to overall transport under convective conditions.

Abstract Background The root major proteins of sweet potato trypsin inhibitors (SPTIs) or named sporamin, estimated for 60 to 80% water-soluble proteins, exhibited many biological activities. The human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) showed to form in vivo complex with endogenous oxidized alpha-1-antitrypsin. Little is known concerning the interactions between SPTIs and LDL in vitro. Results The thiobarbituric-acid-reactive-substance (TBARS) assays were used to monitor 0.1 mM Cu2+-mediated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidations during 24-h reactions with or without SPTIs additions. The protein stains in native PAGE gels were used to identify the bindings between native or reduced forms of SPTIs or soybean TIs and LDL, or oxidized LDL (oxLDL). It was found that the SPTIs additions showed to reduce LDL oxidations in the first 6-h and then gradually decreased the capacities of anti-LDL oxidations. The protein stains in native PAGE gels showed more intense LDL bands in the presence of SPTIs, and 0.5-h and 1-h reached the highest one. The SPTIs also bound to the oxLDL, and low pH condition (pH 2.0) might break the interactions revealed by HPLC. The LDL or oxLDL adsorbed onto self-prepared SPTIs-affinity column and some components were eluted by 0.2 M KCl (pH 2.0). The native or reduced SPTIs or soybean TIs showed different binding capacities toward LDL and oxLDL in vitro. Conclusion The SPTIs might be useful in developing functional foods as antioxidant and nutrient supplements, and the physiological roles of SPTIs-LDL and SPTIs-oxLDL complex in vivo will investigate further using animal models.
