ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine the expression of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) of peripheral blood monocytes in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS),and to further explore the effect of anti-inflammatory factor interleukin-10 (IL-10) on the expression of LOX-1.@*METHODS@#Twenty-eight healthy controls and 28 ACS patients were enrolled in the study. The levels of IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay(ELISA). The monocytes of peripheral blood in patients and controls were isolated and incubated with exogenous IL-10 (20 microg/L). The expression of LOX-1 protein and mRNA in the monocytes was examined by Western blot and reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR).@*RESULTS@#Compared with the healthy controls, the levels of serum IL-10 and TNF-alpha were significantly elevated in ACS patients (P<0.01). The expression of LOX-1 protein and mRNA was markedly upregulated in the isolated monocytes from ACS patients, which could be downregulated by IL-10 (20 microg/L, 3 h) (P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#The effect of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 on the atherosclerosis may be a new mechanism resulting in plaque stabilization via the decreased LOX-1 expression of peripheral monocytes in ACS patients.
