摘要
Paraoxonase 1, an HDL-associated enzyme that confers antioxidant activity on HDL, and its activity in serum have been correlated with protection against atherosclerosis, an oxidative disease. However, serum PON-1 activity is highly variable and its regulation is complex, involving both genetic and environmental factors. It is influenced by gender and inflammation, two important factors in atherosclerosis. Serum PON-1 activity has been shown to be lower in male mice and is decreased in male Syrian hamster during inflammation. Here we show that male mice had lower hepatic PON-1 mRNA that increased by 170% after castration. Our data also suggested that this effect was testes but not plasma testosterone dependent. Ovariectomy had no effect on PON-1 mRNA in female mice. LPS caused hepatic PON-1 mRNA to decrease further in male mice, and to increase moderately in female mice. Anti-inflammatory dexamethasone enhanced PON-1 mRNA level by 2-fold in male and female LPS-treated mice, and increased PON-1 expression by 8-fold in Hepa cell, a mouse hepatoma cell line. Therefore, antioxidant PON-1 is regulated at the mRNA level in a gender-specific manner by proinflammatory LPS and anti-inflammatory dexamethasone. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc.
