Expression of LOX-1 and NOX1 genes in the human umbilical vein endotheliocytes (HUVECs) cultured in the presence of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) modified with various natural dicarbonyls was investigated for the first time. It was found that among the investigated dicarbonyl-modified LDLs (malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified LDLs, glyoxal-modified LDLs, and methylglyoxal-modified LDLs), the MDA-modified LDLs caused the greatest induction of the LOX-1 and NOX1 genes, as well as of the genes of antioxidant enzymes and genes of proapoptotic factors in HUVECs. Key role of the dicarbonyl-modified LDLs in the molecular mechanisms of vascular wall damage and endothelial dysfunction is discussed.

This review summarises the data from long-term experimental studies and literature data on the role of oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in atherogenesis and diabetogenesis. It was shown that not "oxidized" (lipoperoxide-containing) LDL, but dicarbonyl-modified LDL are atherogenic (actively captured by cultured macrophages with the help of scavenger receptors), and also cause expression of lectin like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 () and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 1 () genes in endotheliocytes, which stimulate apoptosis and endothelial dysfunction. The obtained data allowed us to justify new approaches to pharmacotherapy of atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus.

Atherogenic lipoproteins may impair vascular reactivity, leading to tissue damage in various organs, including the eye. This study aimed to investigate whether ophthalmic artery reactivity is affected in mice lacking the apolipoprotein E gene (ApoE-/-), a model for hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. Twelve-month-old male ApoE-/- mice and age-matched wild-type controls were used to assess vascular reactivity using videomicroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate how chronic high cholesterol affects the retina, specifically looking at endothelial dysfunction and cell loss in the eye.
- Researchers used mice genetically modified to lack apolipoprotein E (ApoE-/-) and compared them to normal mice, measuring various factors like blood pressure and oxidative stress markers.
- The findings revealed that the ApoE-/- mice had impaired responses in retinal blood vessels and increased oxidative stress markers, but surprisingly, there was no significant difference in the total number of retinal ganglion cells or optic nerve axons between the two groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of LOX-1 in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL)-induced oxidative stress, which contributes to atherosclerosis.
- By using siRNA to reduce LOX-1 expression in macrophages, researchers found that this silencing diminished reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and improved oxidative stress markers.
- In a mouse model of atherosclerosis, LOX-1 knockdown led to significant changes in lesion characteristics, including increased fibrous cap size and reduced macrophage content, indicating LOX-1's crucial role in OxLDL-related oxidative stress.
