In fact, heme-induced LDL oxidation is highly cytotoxic for endothelial cells and LDL oxidation seems to be mediated by Fe (Jeney et al., 2002; Nagy et al., 2010). PubMed:24904418
Heme/iron-mediated oxidative modification of LDL can cause endothelial cytotoxicity8,24 and – at sublethal doses – the expression of stress-response genes.9,11-14 PubMed:20378845
Cells deficient on FtH are more susceptible to oxidative damage, while increased amounts of FtH protects cells from death induced by challenges such as Fe, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), heme, heme plus TNF, or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL; Juckett et al., 1995; Pham et al., 2004; Gozzelino et al., 2012). PubMed:24904418
In previous studies we found that endothelial cells exposed to oxidized LDL upregulated both heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and ferritin,8,9 presumably as a defense mechanism.6,11-14 PubMed:20378845
Upregulation of HO-115 and ferritin H chain16 in endothelial cells has been reported in the early phase of progression of atherosclerotic lesions. PubMed:20378845

Lipids of atheromatous (Fig 1A, 1b and 2b panels) and ruptured complicated lesions (Fig 1A, 1c and 2c panels) as well as oxidized LDL caused significant lysis of red cells within 24 hours (Fig 1B, black bars). PubMed:20378845

Oxidized LP(ox- LP) then induces toxic effects in endothelial cells [6]. PubMed:26475040
