Background.Soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) level is a novel biomarker for diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, this level in the coronary circulation has yet to be examined.Methods.Twenty-seven consecutive patients with ACS and 40 patients with effort angina pectoris (EAP) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had levels of soluble LOX-1 and LOX-1 index measured in paired blood samples from aorta (Ao) and coronary sinus (CS) just prior to the PCI.Results.We found positive correlations between soluble LOX-1 levels in the Ao and CS in both ACS and EAP patients (P<0.01, for both). The soluble LOX-1 levels in the Ao and CS were higher in ACS than in EAP patients (P<0.01, for both). The levels of soluble LOX-1 and LOX-1 index of the CS were significantly greater than those of the Ao in both ACS and EAP patients (P<0.01, for both). Receiver operating characteristic curves for ACS detection demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for the soluble LOX-1 and LOX-1 index with no differences between the Ao and CS.Conclusions.The present study showed that circulating soluble LOX-1 originates from coronary circulation and soluble LOX-1 and LOX-1 index are useful biomarkers for ACS.

A New Technique

A new technique has been developed to identify low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptors on nitrocellulose membranes, after transfer from SDS/polyacrylamide gels, by ligand blotting with biotin-modified LDL. Modification with biotin hydrazide of periodate-oxidized lipoprotein sugar residues does not affect the ability of the lipoprotein to bind to the LDL receptor. Bound lipoprotein is detected with high sensitivity by a streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex, and thus this method eliminates the need for specific antibodies directed against the ligand. The density of the bands obtained is proportional to the amount of pure LDL receptor protein applied to the SDS/polyacrylamide gel, so that it is possible to quantify LDL receptor protein in cell extracts. Biotin can be attached to other lipoproteins, for example very-low-density lipoproteins with beta-mobility, and thus the method will be useful in the identification and isolation of other lipoprotein receptors.

Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), a lectin-like 50-kD receptor for oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL), is present primarily on endothelial cells. Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is the initial change in the vascular wall that induces morphological changes for atheroma-formation. LOX-1 was identified as the receptor for oxLDL that was thought to be a major cause of endothelial dysfunction. LOX-1 has been demonstrated to contribute not only to endothelial dysfunction, but also to atherosclerotic-plaque formation, hypertension, myocardial infarction and intimal thickening after balloon injury. Studies with transgenic and knockout mouse models have elucidated in part the role of LOX-1 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiac remodeling. Recently, a circulating soluble form of LOX-1(sLOx-1), corresponding solely to its extracellular domain, has been identified in human serum. Circulating levels of sLOX-1 are increased in inflammatory and atherosclerotic conditions and are associated with acute coronary syndrome, with the severity of coronary artery disease, and with serum biomarkers for oxidative stress and inflammation, suggesting that they could be useful marker for vascular injury. Identification and regulation of this receptor and understanding of signal transduction pathways might open new gateways from diagnosis to therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases.

Lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), the main oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) in endothelial cells, is upregulated in atherosclerotic lesions and is involved in several cellular processes that regulate the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The LOX-1 expressed on the cell surface can be proteolytically cleaved and released in a soluble form (sLOX-1) in the circulation under pathological conditions. Serum levels of sLOX-1, in fact, are elevated at the early stages of acute coronary syndrome and are associated with coronary plaque vulnerability and with the presence of multiple complex coronary lesions. Moreover, in subjects with stable CAD, levels of serum sLOX-1 are associated with the presence of lesions in the proximal and mid-segments of the left anterior descending artery that are the most prone to rupture; in subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, baseline preprocedural serum sLOX-1 levels are associated with the incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction. Altogether, these findings suggest that circulating levels of sLOX-1 might be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for atherosclerotic-related events.

Background: Cardiac troponin is the best marker to diagnose acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, early diagnosis using markers for plaque instability may be of significance. Soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis plaque rupture and may be a potential biomarker of coronary artery disease (CAD), including ACS. The current study aims to evaluate sLOX-1 levels in the sera of patients with ACS as an independent marker of CAD with other established diagnostic markers and assess its level before and after percutaneous intervention (PCI) in predicting the risk of future recurrence of ACS. Methods: Peripheral blood was obtained from a total of 160 patients, including patients who underwent coronary angiography (n = 18, group I), patients of stable CAD who underwent percutaneous intervention (n = 50, group II), patients of the acute coronary syndrome (n = 64, group III), and healthy controls (n = 28, group IV). A serum sLOX-1 concentration was measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The results obtained showed a statistically significant raised level of sLOX-1 in pre/post PCI patients of stable CAD/ACS with male preponderance. The area under the curve for sLOX-1 was 0.925 for cases that are discriminated from controls with sensitivity and specificity of 87.88 and 100%, respectively. SLOX-1 showed 100% sensitivity and specificity in the discrimination of the stable CAD that underwent PCI vs. control with an AUC of 1.00. The recurrence of coronary artery disease was observed in 9 out of 132 (6.8%) cases. The post-interventional sLOX-1 level was significantly different and higher in recurrent cases (p = 0.027) of ACS/CAD. Conclusions: sLOX-1 was a useful biomarker of stable CAD/ACS and has a potential in the risk prediction of a future recurrence of coronary artery disease.
