A novel insight into the nature of modified low-density lipoproteins and their role in atherosclerosis

Abstract

Atherosclerosis plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is a critical event in atherogenesis. Native LDL undergoes several modifications that can lead to the formation of atherogenic modified LDLs. LDL modifications change their physicochemical and biological properties. Possible modifications include changes in the lipoprotein particle’s structure, size, charge, and composition. Uptake and utilization of modified LDLs are impaired in cells. Macrophages take up modified LDLs that promote forming of foam cells, one of the critical cellular components of atherosclerotic lesions. Nevertheless, the direct role of each atherogenic LDL modification in atherogenesis remains uncertain. This review highlights LDL's most critical atherogenic modifications, including oxidized, enzyme-modified, non-oxidative, desialylated, glycated and carbamylated LDLs. Studying the role of each type of LDL modification will clarify the unknown elements of atherosclerosis progression and facilitate the development of effective methods for its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
