Abstract
Murine resident peritoneal macrophages were maintained in cell culture in a medium containing 10% lipoprotein-deficient fetal calf serum to which various artificial lipoproteins (lipid-bovine serum albumin complexes) had been added. Ceroid accumulated in cells exposed to artificial lipoproteins containing cholesteryl esters or acylglycerols possessing polyunsaturated fatty acid residues, but not in cells exposed to lipoproteins containing less readily oxidized lipids. Oxidation of cholesteryl linoleate before its incorporation into artificial lipoprotein accelerated ceroid production. Incorporation of free radical scavengers into cholesteryl linoleate-containing artificial lipoproteins impaired ceroid formation. The results are discussed in terms of the mechanisms by which the ceroid might have been produced and its significance for human atherogenesis.
