The effect of thermally oxidized soya bean oil on metabolism of chylomicrons. Increased uptake and degradation of oxidized chylomicrons in cultured mouse macrophages.
Oral administration of thermally oxidized soya bean oil (TO) increased the level of lipid peroxides in human plasma, mainly in chylomicrons. No changes were observed after fresh oil (FO) intake. Human chylomicrons obtained after TO ingestion were rich in lipid peroxides and degraded more rapidly by cultured mouse macrophages than chylomicrons after FO. The uptake of TO chylomicrons by macrophages occurred via a saturable process and was partially inhibited by beta-very low density lipoprotein as well as by acetyl-low density lipoprotein and fucoidin. A 48-h incubation of macrophages with TO chylomicrons caused a 10-fold higher accumulation of cholesterol ester mass in the cells than the incubation with FO chylomicrons. These studies suggest that chylomicrons containing lipid peroxides may be taken up by mouse macrophages by mediation of beta-VLDL receptor as well as by acetyl-LDL receptor, and show a potential pathway by which chylomicrons obtained after ingestion of heated oil could contribute to accumulation of cholesterol esters in macrophages.
