Embodiment 1
[0139] LDL particles from LEV-treated hypercholesterolemic mice were far less sensitive to SMase-mediated aggregation than LDL particles from PBS-treated hypercholesterolemic mice
[0140] This example was designed to show in an in vitro (test tube) test that LDL from LEV-treated mice was much more resistant to SMase-mediated aggregation than LDL from control (saline-treated) mice. Testing of the sensitivity of LDL to aggregation was performed according to the existing literature (9, 10, 16). This example is important because SMase-mediated accumulation of LDL is expected to be an important contributor to atherosclerotic plaques associated with cardiovascular disease.
[0141] Production of LEVs
[0142] The procedure used in this example to prepare LEVs from POPC is as follows: In a sterile bio-cabinet, the procedure is performed under a decontaminated atmosphere (e.g. HEPA-filtered air), with all surfaces and equipment cleaned and sterilized . Synthetic, pure, dry, gran...
Embodiment 2
[0151] Effect of LEV treatment on LDL composition
[0152] The 16 LDL samples from Example 1 were also subjected to compositional analysis. Lipids were extracted by the Folch procedure under nitrogen in the presence of lipid antioxidants and then subjected to an automated high-throughput tandem mass spectrometry procedure (described in detail previously) (15).
[0153] The results are shown in Figure 4 . exist Figure 4 In , an asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference between the results obtained with LEV-injected mice and PBS-injected mice. Treatment of mice with a single injection of LEV resulted in a decrease in the molar ratio of sphingomyelin to phosphatidylcholine (SM:PC) in the LDL of the mice.
[0154] In LDL samples from LEV-injected mice compared to LDL from PBS-injected mice (controls), there was a statistically significant increase in the overall PC:protein ratio, and in the UC:PC ratio, UC: There was a statistically significant reduction in ...
