Effect of linoleic acid hydroperoxide on replication of adenovirus DNA in endothelial cells of bovine aorta.
The effect of linoleic acid hydroperoxide on replication of adenovirus type 2 DNA in cultured endothelial cells of bovine aorta was studied to elucidate the deleterious effect of lipid peroxides on replication of DNA in the arterial endothelial cells. When, just after the infection, the cells were incubated with 1 nmol (measured by the thiobarbituric acid reaction and expressed in terms of malondialdehyde) of the hydroperoxide, the replication of adenovirus type 2 DNA was markedly reduced. The level of the messenger RNA for adenovirus type 2 DNA polymerase was also reduced. In accordance with the reduction of the messenger RNA, the synthesis of the polymerase in the cells was reduced. The inhibition of DNA replication in the arterial endothelial cells by lipid peroxides was discussed in relation to atherogenesis.
