ABSTRACT

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

LOX-1, one of the main receptors for oxLDL, is found mainly on the surface of endothelial cells. It is a multi-facet 52Kda type II transmembrane protein which structurally belongs to the C-type lectin family. It exists with short intracellular N-terminal and long extracellular Cterminal hydrophilic domains separated by a hydrophobic domain of 26 amino acids. LOX-1 acts like a bi-functional receptor either showing pro-atherogenicity by activating NFߢB mediated down signaling cascade for gene activation of pro-inflammatory molecules or playing as an atheroprotective agent by receptor mediated uptake of oxLDL in presence of anti-inflammatory molecule like IL-10. Mild, moderate and highly oxidized-LDL show their characteristic features on LOX-1 activation and its ligand binding indenture. The polymorphic LOX-1 genes are intensively associated with increased susceptibility to myocardial diseases. The splicing variant LOX IN dimerizes with the native form of LOX-1 and protects cells from damage by oxidized LDL. In developing field of regenerating medicine, LOX-1 is a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

INTRODUCTION

1 2 3

Atherosclerosis is an age-linked slowly developing disease of the large and medium-sized

4

arteries. Atherogenesis is a sequence of events associated with the expression of adhesion

5

molecules,1,2 recruitment of mononuclear cells to the endothelium,3 local activation of

6

leukocytes followed by inflammation,4 lipid accumulation and foam cell formation.5 The

7

main predilection sites of manifestation of the atherosclerotic pathology are the deep intimal

8

layers of large arteries such as the common carotid artery (at the bifurcation), the aorta (at the

9

start of its branches) and the subclavian artery.6

10 11

Accumulation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in blood vessels, among many other lipids,

12

is reported to be the major culprit in the generation of atherosclerotic plaque on the vessel

13

wall. Resistance to clearance and longer persistence in blood vessels promote chemical

14

oxidation of the existing LDL particles by dissolved oxygen and other oxidizing entities

15

present in blood plasma. The resulting oxidized LDL (oxLDL) then turns out to be more and

16

more pro-inflammatory by facilitating the formation of more oxLDL and other pro-

17

inflammatory cytokines through vicious chain reactions.7 The vicious cycle is mediated

18

through the interaction of oxLDL with its recently identified specific receptor called the

19

Lectin like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1).8,9,10

20 21

Modified forms of lipoproteins can act directly on monocytes and macrophages. Both highly

22

oxidized LDL (which is recognized by scavenger receptors but not by the classically known

23

LDL receptor) and minimally modified LDL (which is still recognized by the LDL receptor)

24

can increase the expression of certain macrophage scavenger receptors, resulting in a more

25

effective clearance of oxLDL and enhancement of foam cell formation.11 LOX-1 is one such

26

receptor and found to be to be expressed majorly in vascular endothelial cells, placenta and

27

lung. Currently it is a thought that the detrimental effects of oxLDL in developing cardio-

28

vascular thrombosis could be aborted by inactivating LOX-1 and which could be a target for

29

generating a biotechnological tool in future therapy.

30 31

There is a great body of evidence for oxidative stress in all stages of atherosclerosis; hence

32

oxLDL is now a popular target to explore atherosclerotic stress. OxLDL acts via a variety of

33

cell surface receptors such as SR-AІ/AІІ, CD68/macrosialin, CD36, SR-BІ/BІІ, etc. This led

34

to the identification and characterization of a novel Lectin-like receptor for oxidized LDL on 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

the surface of endothelial cells by Sawamura and colleagues in 1997.12 Though Sawamura et

2

al had identified LOX-1 based on the ability of endothelial cells to interact oxidatively

3

modified LDL through a pathway independent of the macrophage scavenger receptors, the

4

functional role of LOX-1 in oxLDL internalization and trafficking remained elusive until the

5

first report in this regard surfaced in 2008 where Murphy JE, et al

6

trafficking was mediated via the dynamin-2 pathway studied in HeLa cells transfected with

7

LOX-1 cDNA containing an engineered FLAG-tag. Their site-directed mutagenesis studies

8

also identified a tripeptide conserved motif (DDL) present proximal to the N-terminal end

9

(cytosolic domain) of LOX-1 that is responsible for aiding this internalization.

reported that LOX-1

10 11

Although many studies have demonstrated the possible mechanistic role of LOX-1 using

12

hyper-expression model systems or knock out models; any ‘transient expression model’

13

relating the in vivo physiological conditions has not yet been carried out, although the

14

bifunctional character of LOX-1 is reported (section IV in this review). Being bifunctional in

15

nature LOX-1 may act as pro- and anti-atherogenic messenger. The central theme of this

16

review is thus to justify LOX-1 as a central regulator in atherogenic milieu.

II. VARIANCE OF LOX-1 RECEPTOR A. Structure of LOX-1 protein

19 20 21

The lectin like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor -1 (LOX-1) of homo sapien origin is

22

a 52KD membrane bound glycoprotein belonging to C-type lectin superfamily and consisting

23

of 273 amino acid residues. It is mainly present on endothelial cells, macrophages, smooth

24

muscle cells, and platelets.12It is encoded by OLR 1 gene which is a single copy gene present

25

in the region p12.3- p13.2 on chromosome 12.14LOX-1 gene is an inducible gene having

26

TATA and CAAT boxes in the proximal part of 5′ flanking region. TATA box is located at -

27

29bp and CAAT box at -99bp.15

28

The LOX-1 gene shows similarity to NK (Natural Killer) gene complex and like other NK

29

cell receptors consists of four domains. These are N-terminal cytoplasmic domain,

30

transmembrane domain, NECK domain and a C-terminal domain called a C type lectin like

31

domain (CTLD). This CTLD has been experimentally confirmed as a ligand binding domain

32

15

and NECK domain maintains the dimer structure.

Biochemistry

1

Human LOX-1 gene is 7000 base pairs (bp) long and consists of 6 exons and 5 introns. The

2

size of exon-1 to 5 varies from 102 to 246 bp and the 6th exon is longer being 1722 bp.14

3

′untranslated region and cytoplasmic domain is encoded by exon 1, while the remaining

4

cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains are encoded by exon 2. Neck region is encoded by

5

NECK domain or exon 3. Exon 4 to 6 encodes lectin- like domain and 3’UTR.16 LOX-1

6

shows sequence homology to C-type lectins which are proteins that recognize and bind to

7

specific carbohydrate targets.8 Ligand binding domain of LOX-1 consists of 3 intramolecular

8

disulphide bonds. Two of them are invariant disulphide bonds present in all the members of

9

C-type lectin like domain and the third one connects the first antiparallel β-sheets in the

10

CTLD region to the linker part from the NECK segment as shown in figure-1.17 In case of

11

human LOX-1 the disulphide linked homodimer is present at C-140 on cell surface.18

12 13

Alternative splicing of selective exons has shown three splice variants for LOX-1 transcripts.

14

Transcript variant 1; is the full length mature LOX-1 which has all the exons. It is recruited

15

to the plasma membrane and is functionally active to bind oxLDL and internalize it mainly in

16

the endothelial cells.

17

Transcript variant 2; is a splice variant which lacks exon 4 and hence lacks a part of the

18

ligand recognition domain.

19

Transcript variant 3; is also a splice variant which lacks exon 5, the oxLDL binding region

20

in the CTLD. This is an important variant which has been hypothesized to have a protective

21

effect as against mature LOX-1. So far Mango R, et al., 200519 are the only group who have

22

shown that this isoform of LOX-1 termed as LOXIN has a protective effect in myocardial

23

infarction by forming ‘probable’ nonfunctional dimmers with mature LOX-1 in the ER and

24

hence inhibit its recruitment back to the membrane for further uptake of oxLDL. They have

25

shown that macrophages of those subjects carry the ‘non-risk’ disease haplotype of the OLR1

26

gene. Relatively high amount of this particular variant decreases the cytotoxicity induced by

27

oxLDL and hence could act as an anti-apoptotic component.

28

Extracellular lectin like domain of human LOX-1 is a heart shaped homodimers having a

29

central hydrophobic tunnel which extends through the entire molecule. The hydrophobic

30

tunnel accommodates a cholesterol molecule, a fatty acid chain and six to seven residues of

31

non polar peptide.20 LOX-1 identifies multiple ligands including modified lipoprotein (such

B. Species variance of LOX-1(rat and human)

16 17 18 19

The amino acid sequence of human LOX-1 shows similarity to rat LOX-1 amino acid sequence. According to a report by Nagase et al.21 Rat LOX-1 amino acid sequence showed almost 60% similarity to human LOX-1 amino acid sequence. Rat LOX-1 protein constitutes 364 amino acid while human contains 273 and 270 amino acid respectively.

20 21 22 23 24

Unlike human, rat LOX-1 consists of triple repeats of a 46-amino acid motif between transmembrane and lectin-like domain, which represents the NECK domain in human LOX1. The repeats of 46-amino acid domain made rat LOX-1 longer than its human counterparts.22 It is rich in glutamate, glutamine, leucine and lysine residues. The 3’ untranslated region of rat LOX-1 contains A+U rich regions and polyadenylation signals.

25 26 27

While both rat and human possess single copy gene for LOX-1,rat gene spans over 19 kb length and consists of 8 exons; human LOX-1 gene extends 7kb with only 6 exons. The difference of the properties of exons between rat and human LOX-1 is shown in table-1.

C. Susceptibility variance of LOX-1 to mild, moderate and highly oxidized LDL

4

Expression of LOX-1 depends on the grade of oxLDL. In a study, it was reported that at

5

40µg/ml of mildly, moderately and highly oxidized LDL, the expression of LOX-1 was

6

26.1%, 51.8% and 40.3% respectively. At 80µg/ml of mildly, moderately and fully oxidized

7

LDL, it further increased to 40.3%, 61.3% and 76.4% respectively.23 Oxidation of LDL takes

8

place in the sub-endothelial space of the arteries and not in circulation. Highly oxidized LDL

9

possesses a very short half life in plasma as it is cleared rapidly from circulation. Sometimes

10

small amounts of oxidized LDL are detected immunologically in normal plasma and

11

increased in several diseases like diabetes and heart diseases.24 The oxidation of LDL leads to

12

modification of lysine residues of the LDL protein. Almost 32% of lysines are modified in

13

extensively oxidized LDL.25

14

Mildly oxidized LDL(3-12nmol TBARS/mg Apo B)is generally used to describe an oxLDL

15

preparation which is used for a modified variant to be chemically distinguished from

16

unmodified LDL. But they have the property to bind to LDL receptor. They are not identified

17

by several scavenger receptors but have distinct biological activities which are not shown by

18

unmodified LDL like induction of pro-inflammatory actions of endothelial cells and

19

macrophages. In a study it was shown that free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester were

20

efficiently loaded in macrophages depending on species.26 In case of mouse peritoneal

21

macrophages there is accumulation of free cholesterol in the first 24 hours of exposure and in

22

following hours, almost 75% of free cholesterol was esterified and its excess was stored as

23

cytoplasmic cholesteryl ester droplets and leads to foam cells.26 In case of human THP-1 cell

24

line ( macrophages type), exposure to mildly oxidized LDL led to accumulation of both

25

cholesterol and cholesteryl ester in the lysosomalcompartment.26 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Biochemistry

1

Moderately oxidized LDL( 15nmol 30nmol TBARS/mg Apo B) LDL is modified to such an extent

7

that it is not recognized by classical LDL receptors. These become ligand to another family of

8

receptors called scavenger receptors. There is significant accumulation of free cholesterol due

9

to exposure of macrophages to LDL but little increase in accumulation of cholesteryl esters.

10

In a study by Roma et al it was shown that there was almost 85% accumulation of free

11

cellular cholesterol when J774macrophace cell line was incubated with extensively oxLDL

12

but, very small increase in cellular cholesteryl ester.28 In another similar study by two groups,

13

Roma et al, and Brown et al, it was demonstrated that incubation of mouse peritoneal

14

macrophage with extensively oxidized LDL resulted in increased accumulation of free

15

cholesterol approximately 40-50% and only 5-10% accumulation of cholesteryl ester. Thus

16

the intensity of ester accumulation depends on the degree of oxidation of LDL.29,30

17

LOX-1 binds with more efficiency to a modified form of LDL such as oxidized LDL rather

18

than untreared LDL suggesting that LOX-1 recognize modified Apo B.31 Considering the

19

degree of LDL oxidation, LOX- 1 shows higher affinity to moderately oxLDL rather than

20

extensively oxLDL.

LOX-1 SIGNALING

A. Role of NO and NF κB:

23

NO, a short lived gas can freely diffuse through cells. The effect of nitric oxide can be

24

propagated due to its interaction with thiol groups present on cysteine, glutathione and heme-

25

proteins.32It has been recognized as an important molecule for regulation of apoptosis of cells

26

and its viability. It has wide regulatory role in inflammatory response.

27

NO readily reacts with molecular oxygen and superoxide radical leading to oxidation of nitric

28

oxide at physiological pH. This leads to formation of nitrite. NO also reacts with superoxide

29

to form peroxynitrite which is stable but can form nitrate and highly reactive OH radical and

30

hence shows its pro-apoptotic and necrotic activity.33 Studies have shown that oxLDL

31

binding to LOX-1 increases intracellular ROS such as superoxide anion (O2- ) and hydrogen 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

peroxide (H2O2). Intracellular nitric oxide reacts with superoxide anion and thus there is

2

subsequent decrease in NO level in cells. This condition leads to endothelial dysfunction.

3

This is mainly due to the fact that oxLDL decreases endogenous superoxide dismutase

4

activity and increased nitric oxide synthase activity leads to increase free radical formation

5

and leads to hypoxia. Nitric oxide synthase is an enzyme that is involved in conversion of

6

amino acid L-arginine into NO & L-citrulline and play a crucial role in the regulation of

7

vascular tone.34

8

Nitric Oxide protects vascular injury, inflammation and thrombosis. It also inhibits adhesion

9

of leukocyte to the endothelium and maintains non-proliferative state of vascular smooth

10

muscle cells and in turn limits platelet aggregation.35,36 Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor

11

and inhibits NO action and leads to production of ROS.

12

NF κB, an oncogenic protein, regulates transcription of variety of genes such as immune and

13

inflammatory response genes (Figure-3). This transcription factor has a role to play in

14

atherosclerosis. It is present as a heterodimer in the cytosol with NF κB1 (p50), Rel (p65) and

15

p(56) subunits and bound to an inhibitor named IκB. NFκB, on activation, releases IκB and

16

migrates from the cytosol to the nucleus of the cell and binds to specific DNA sequences and

17

performs transcription.

18

molecules such as TNF-α, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. This NF κB is activated by inflammatory

19

stimulation in macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and T cells. These cells

play an important role in atherosclerosis. A study by Maziereet al38 has demonstrated that

21

oxLDL stimulates NFκB in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblast and leads to

22

cell injury. Thus oxidative activation of NFκB in endothelial cells causes changes of cell

23

phenotype and initiates atherosclerotic lesion formation.

Intracellular ROS serves as a downstream messenger for various pathway leading to

4

inactivation of NFκB.9 In a study it was also demonstrated that oxidized LDL leads to

5

activation of NFκB in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs).9 The 5′flanking region of

6

LOX-1 gene contains a consensus sequence of NF κB binding site. This suggests that certain

7

inflammatory signal induces LOX-1 gene and leads to activation of NFκB causing

8

transcriptional regulation.14 In certain reports it has been mentioned that LOX-1 expression

9

also depends on activation of NFκB induced by oxLDL due to generation of ROS. This thus

10

gives the vicious cycle of oxLDL induced LOX-1 signaling for promoting its pro-

11

inflammatory activity.

12

Furthermore, it has been reported that incubation of anti-LOX-1 monoclonal antibody

13

inhibited NFκB activation induced by oxLDL. Thus this suggests that oxLDL binding to

14

LOX-1 and subsequent formation of ROS, are the events that occurs first in the chain of

15

reaction of NFκB activation.

16

Certain antioxidants inhibits activation of NFκB such as pyrrolidine, dithiocarbamate and N-

17

acetyl cysteine.39 Apart from these, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is also a strong

18

inhibitor of NFκB.40

PRO AND ANTI INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE OF LOX-1

2

LOX-1 is a bi-functional receptor in respect of generating pro-inflammatory signaland faster

3

utilization of ox-LDL in presence of anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10.41 Vascular

4

inflammation is transmitted by various cells which communicate amongst themselves through

5

a chain of cytokine receptors and their cytokine mediators. Cytokine shows properties of

6

autocrine, paracrine and juxtacrine signaling. Attachment of cytokine to their receptor

7

initiates a series of intracellular signals including activation of kinases and transcription

8

factors.42 Increased expression of LOX-1 in the intima of atherosclerotic lesion is also due to

9

the presence of inflammatory cytokines.43

10

Expression of various adhesion molecules such as VCAM 1, ICAM 1 is induced by pro-

11

inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNFα. The expression of these cytokines are

12

induced by the interaction of LOX-1 with oxLDL and CD40/CD40L ligand interaction.44

13

Large number of cytokines acts as pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-

14

12, IL-18, IFNγ and TNFα.These pro-inflammatory cytokines are also pro-atherogenic.IL-1β

15

acts through p38MAPK signaling pathway and elicits expression of cytokines and adhesion

16

molecules. IL-6 synthesized by endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and

17

macrophage. The expression of IL-6 increases in patients with unstable angina and coronary

18

artery disease.45 It functions through JAK/STAT family of signal transducers. IL-6 enhances

19

the expression of CAM (Cell Adhesion Molecule) on endothelial cells. It also functions as a

20

contributing factor in the extravasations of leukocyte in the atherosclerotic lesions.These

21

cytokines are inter-related in their expressions and expression of TNFα is one common link

22

in most of the cases. TNFα is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and it functions through

23

p38/MAPK and NFκB signaling pathway, which is again linked with LOX-1 expression.

24

In a study it was demonstrated that there was increased expression of LOX-1 and SR-A

25

(Scavenger Receptor-A) mRNA in the presence of TNFα and IL-6.46 There are also reports in

26

THP-1 cells that expression of IL-6 is influenced by TNFα.46

27

In another report it has been proved that production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as

28

TNFα and IL-1, induce LOX-1 expression which in turn activate NFκB signaling pathway.47

29

Increased production of IL-8 and LOX-1 expression was also observed in THP-1 cell line by

30

increased level of oxLDL.48 Mattaliano et al in their work have identified ROCK2 (Rho-

31

associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase2) a kinase, acting as LOX-1 associating

molecule. Accumulation of oxLDL stimulates ROCK2 to produce IL8.49 IL-1α, IL-1β and

2

TNFα have been reported to upregulate LOX-1 expression in cultured smooth muscle cells.50

3

Interdependency of LOX-1 and TNFα has been reported in one of the studies also. It was

4

demonstrated that in one hand TNF α induces TNFR1 (receptor of TNF α) to generate LOX-

5

1 and on the other hand shows increased extracellular accumulation of oxLDL.51 TGFβ

acetateresponsive elements (TREs) as well as AP-1 and activates TGFβ dependent gene

8

transcription. The consensus nucleotide sequence corresponding to TRE is present in the 5′-

flanking region of LOX-1 gene. Therefore smad-TRE pathway is responsible for LOX-1

10

expression.52 In a study it is shown that TGFβ induces LOX-1 expression in cultured vascular

12 13

Expression of IL-10 leads to decreased cell damage and apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaque

14

and thus IL-10 is regarded as anatheroprotective agent in nature.54 It includes various

15

mechanisms such as attenuation of inflammatory gene expression in many cell types,

16

inhibition of T-cell proliferation and inhibition of antigen presentation. IL-10 activates

17

JAK/STAT pathway, mostly STAT 3. It can even inhibit TNFα induced MAPK signaling and

18

NFκB activation in monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells and VSMC.55 IL-10 reduces

19

the atherogenic propensity due to clearance of oxLDL particle via LOX-1 mediated cellular

20

uptake and acts as atheroprotectant.41 Almost 60% reduced fatty lesion was observed in mice

21

which was electro-transferred with IL-10 cDNA. Thus IL-10 makes LOX-1 anti-

22

atherogenic.55

V.

VARIANTS IN LOX-1 AND ITS ATHEROGENIC SENSITIVITY

25

OLR 1 gene encodes LOX-1 receptors. It is mapped in human chromosome 12p, 12.3-13.1.

26

Various studies have shown certain genetic variation in the OLR 1 gene and these variants are

27

associated with coronary artery disease.19 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have

28

been identified in LOX-1 at intron 4 (G → A), intron 5 (T → G) and 3’UTR (T → C)

29

regions.56 The SNPs give rise to a splicing variant LOXIN, lacking exon5. It is deficient in

30

ligand binding domain of LOX-1. The size of LOXIN protein has been predicted to be 21.4

31

KD.57 The polypeptide constitutes 188 amino acids, N-terminal of wild type LOX-1 and an

32

altered amino acid at its C- terminal. The LOXIN dimerizes with the native form of LOX-1 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Biochemistry

and protects cells from damage by oxidized LDL. This reduces the expression of LOX-1 on

2

plasma membrane as well as binding of oxidized LDL to LOX-1. Studies suggest an inverse

3

relation between the level of LOXIN expression and the incidence of myocardial infarction in

4

humans.19 Thus the pro-apoptotic effect of LOX-1 can be barred by co-expression of LOXIN

5

in a dose dependent manner. Another study also suggests the hetero oligomerization of the

6

naturally occurring isoforms of LOX-1. LOXIN and LOX-1 in joint adherence results in a

7

disruption of functional properties of LOX-1 and increases the resistance to oxLDL induced

8

apoptosis.57 Thus these findings make LOXIN a new target for treatment of atherosclerosis.

9

Another variant of LOX-1 has been observed which shows G to C transition at 501 leading to

10

Lys-to-Asn conversion at 167th position of peptide. It is located in C type lectin like domain.

11

The conversion of Lys-to-Asn leads to a decreased binding and internalization of oxLDL.

12

Thus it can be suggested that existence of LOX-1 gene variant plays an important role in the

13

onset of atherogenesis.58

14 15

VI.

LOX-1: A POTENTIAL TARGET IN CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY

16 17

Oxidized LDL plays a pathological role in the proliferation and development of

18

atherosclerosis. Several therapeutic strategies have been developed which reduces the plasma

19

oxLDL levels such as naturally occurring antioxidants and antihypertensive agents.59 These

20

agents either inhibit oxLDL formation or remove oxLDL from circulation, thus preventing

21

atherogenesis.60 Several antioxidants such as tanshionone II-A,61 curcumin,62 berberine63 and

22

resveratrol64 prevents atherosclerosis by inhibiting the generation of oxidized LDL. They also

23

inhibit expression of LOX-1 by inactivating the LOX-1 signaling pathway due to reduced

24

circulating oxLDL level. Certain antihypertensive agents such as calcium channel blockers

25

(CCB) and AT1R blockers (ARB) also limits and decrease the incidence of atherosclerosis

26

and other cardiovascular events.65 Nifedine, a calcium channel blocker, has inhibiting effect

27

on LOX-1. It prevents the apoptosis of endothelial cell by down regulation of LOX-1.

28

Various other studies demonstrate that the application of LOX-1 antibodies.66 antisense

29

RNA67, and miRNA68,69 also block LOX-1 thus laying a pathway towards development of

30

therapeutic strategies. Our laboratory is also in process of developing LOX-1 specific

31

siRNAs70 with a target for generating bio-tech-based therapy in next generation medicine.

Biochemistry

1

Mouse monoclonal antibody has also been developed, which inhibits LOX-1 activation and

2

binding of ligands to LOX-1.71 It has been demonstrated in vitro that abJTX92 prevents the

3

binding and internalization of oxLDL to LOX-1 in human artery endothelial cells.66 LOX-1

4

antibody also inhibits the expression of adhesion molecules and eNOS. In case of adult

5

mouse cardiomyocytes it was observed that anti-LOX-1 antibodies diminishes Ang-II

6

mediated oxidative stress and the expression of NADPH oxidase and NFκB,72 thus reducing

7

ROS level and in turn prevents atherosclerosis. In another study by Cao et al,73 it was

8

demonstrated that a polyclonal antibody against Fc, cross-linked via LOX-1 Fc fusion protein

9

inhibited the oxLDL binding to LOX-1. Recently in a study, it has been reported that

10

intraperitoneal administration of anti-LOX-1 antibody in rats reduce the activation and

11

expression of LOX-1 and was found to be a novel therapeutic target to Neonatal Hypoxic-

12

Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE).74 Human LOX-1 monoclonal antibody has also been

13

developed using Xenomouse. The antibody prevents oxLDL induced ROS formation,

14

RhoA/Rac1 activation and MCP-1 expression.69

15 16

Antisense technology has also proved to be an effective strategy for the suppression of

17

atherosclerosis and other cardiac diseases. Antisense oligonucleotides have been developed to

18

lower LOX-1 level. It was recently reported by Takedatsu et al that schizophyllan (SPG) can

19

be used as a delivery system for oligonucleotide (ODNs). Schozophyllan is a polysaccharide

20

belonging to β(1-3)-glucan family.67 This delivery system is advantageous as it is stable inin

21

vivosystem and not a substrate for deoxyribonuclease. It is internalized easily and efficiently

22

by macrophages through lectin-1 receptor. Amati et al used this system to administer

23

antisense olr1i.e SPG/olr1AS in ApoEknockout mice and found that there was significant

24

down regulation of LOX-1 mRNA and protein in the aorta of mice. Almost 63% reduction in

25

the LOX-1 protein level was observed in the treated mice.75

26 27

miRNA and/orsiRNA can also be a target for an effective therapeutic strategy. miRNAs are

28

small endogenous non coding RNA of approximately 21 nucleotide in length. They regulate

29

the expression of various protein-coding genes post transcriptionally. In a study it has been

30

demonstrated that there is a binding site for miRNA let-7g in 3′untranslated region of LOX-1-

31

mRNA. Transfection of let-7g resulted in the inhibition of oxLDL induced expression of

32

LOX-1.76 In another study by Ding et al68 it was reported that the miRNA-let-7g blocked

33

LOX-1 expression as well as uptake of oxLDL in human aortic smooth muscle cells

34

(HASMCs).Small interfering RNA (siLOX-1) also prevents oxLDL induced Rho A (Ras 15 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

3

binding.77 In a study it was reported that transfection of bovine aortic endothelial cells with

4

siLOX-1 prevented the expression and up regulation of LOX-1.78 Certain other small

5

molecules such as procyanide, a polyphenol compound present in red wine and apples also

6

prevents oxLDL binding to LOX-1.79 In the recent study by Thakkar et al80 showed that

7

virtual screening technique can also be used to identify LOX-1 inhibitor. Two of the lead

8

molecules Mol-4 and Mol-5 were seen to strongly bind with LOX-1 and inhibits the uptake

9

of oxLDL. Another study has also revealed that pretreatment with metformin reduces oxLDL

10

induced endothelial apoptosis by increasing expression of SIRT1.81

11 12

Thus all these probes such as antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides, siRNA and miRNA are

13

the fast emerging tools of biotechnology that can be used for therapeutic trial for developing

14

the target missile for treating atherosclerosis. LOX-1 is now a novel therapeutic target to treat

15

cardiovascular diseases.

16 17

VII.

FUTURE PROSPECTIVE

18

LOX-1 is one of the major mediators in the genesis of atherosclerosis. Expression of LOX-1

19

is regulated by pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Therapeutic interventions to its

20

signaling pathway may help in future for the better preventive measure in atherosclerotic

21

lesions. Gene therapy by post transcriptional regulation of the receptor protein e.g.

22

modulation by siRNA, miRNA, shRNA etc., may also be advantageous in lowering the risk

23

of atherosclerosis and its related disorders. Thus LOX-1 may be a prospective therapeutic

24

target in upcoming medicine to combat atherosclerosis by exploring the understanding and in

25

depth knowledge on LOX-1 signaling over pro-inflammatory gene transcription,
