In the present study, changes in LDL induced by copper-catalyzed oxidation were investigated using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the results were compared with several parameters of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL). When LDL at 200 micrograms/ml was oxidized with 10 microM Cu2+ at 37 degrees C for up to 24 hours, increases in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and electrophoretic mobility were first observed within 3 hours. An increase in fluorescence and a decrease in intact apolipoprotein B (apoB) were than observed in parallel with an increase in 125I-LDL degradation by macrophages after 6 hours. Finally, LDL aggregation separated by liquid chromatography was observed after 24 hours. The aggregated and monomeric fractions of ox-LDL were analyzed and the results compared with the monomeric fraction of native LDL. Both fractions of ox-LDL contained hardly any intact apoB and showed an intense fluorescence. The electrophoretic mobility increment of aggregated ox-LDL was almost half that of monomeric ox-LDL, yet the lysine residues of aggregated ox-LDL were more extensively decreased than those of monomeric ox-LDL. Degradation of aggregated ox-LDL by macrophages showed a slightly greater increase than that of monomeric ox-LDL. GPC analysis is a useful method to estimate the LDL aggregation, and these results provide a basis to investigate the formation of aggregated LDL.
