LOX-1, a lectin-like receptor on endothelial cells, facilitates the uptake of oxidized-LDL. Expression of LOX-1 is involved in the pathobiological effects of oxidized-LDL in endothelial cells, including apoptosis, suppression of cNOS activity and cell adhesion. Recent studies show that intracellular signal protein kinase B (PKB) is involved in the regulation of cNOS. Further, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) may affect LOX-1 expression. In this study, we examined the modulation of LOX-1 expression and PKB activity in response to oxidized-LDL by two different statins (simvastatin and atorvastatin).

Statins inhibit oxidized-LDL-mediated LOX-1 expression, uptake of oxidized-LDL and reduction in PKB phosphorylation
