Abstract

Increasing evidence indicates that phospholipid oxidation plays important roles in atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated the involvement of Rho-family GTPases inphosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH)-induced THP-1 cell adhesion to ICAM-1. Isoprenoid depletion by fluvastatin and geranylgeranyltransferase inhibition by GGTI-286 suppressed PCOOH-induced cell adhesion to ICAM-1 and F-actin-rich membrane protrusion formation. Pull-down assays demonstrated the activation of Rac1 and Rac2 in PCOOH-treated cells. Pan-Rho-family GTPase inhibitor Clostridium difficile toxin B, Rac-specific inhibitor NSC23776, and RNA interference of the Rac isoforms suppressed the cell adhesion. These findings indicate the involvement of Rac GTPase activation... (More)

Increasing evidence indicates that phospholipid oxidation plays important roles in atherosclerosis.

Pull-down assays demonstrated the activation of Rac1 and Rac2 in PCOOH-treated cells. Pan-Rho-family GTPase inhibitor Clostridium difficile toxin B, Rac-specific inhibitor NSC23776, and RNA interference of the Rac isoforms suppressed the cell adhesion. These findings indicate the involvement of Rac GTPase activation in PCOOH-induced cell adhesion to ICAM-1 via actin reorganization.
