TL;DR
Blue areas showed a significantly greater incorporation of [1 − 14 C]acetate into total lipid than adjacent white areas, an increase which was demonstrable in all neutral lipid and phospholipid fractions, and blue and white areas differed in the percentage distribution of incorporated labelled acetate among the different lipid classes.
Abstract
In the pig, focal areas of in vivo aortic Evans Blue accumulation (blue areas) have previously been found to show greater [3H]cholesterol uptake than areas showing no dye accumulation (white areas)21,25. The present experiments were undertaken to examine lipid synthesis in these blue and white areas in vitro. Blue areas showed a significantly greater incorporation of [1 −14C]acetate into total lipid than adjacent white areas, an increase which was demonstrable in all neutral lipid and phospholipid fractions. Additionally, blue and white areas differed in the percentage distribution of incorporated labelled acetate among the different lipid classes. In blue areas a significantly greater proportion of label appeared in phospholipid, which was attribut able to a greater percentage of label incorporated in phosphatidyl choline, and sphingomyelin. Blue and white areas showed no significant difference in the incorporation of [U−14C]glucose into neutral lipid and phospholipid. Further, there was no difference in the percentage distribution of label among individual lipid fractions. The major proportion of [1−14C]acetate incorporated appeared in the fatty acid moiety of glyceride lipid, while the major proportion of [U−14C]glucose incorporated appeared in the glycerol moiety of glyceride lipid.

It is shown that as early as 8–12 weeks after birth, focal areas can be identified in the macroscopically normal pig aorta which exhibit an increased endothelial labelling index.

In lesion-free intima unesterified cholesterol, phospholipid and triglyceride increase with age slowly and almost at the same rate, but cholesterol ester increases at a much faster rate, and becomes the major lipid component after age 35.

Perifibrous lipid increases in normal intima with increasing age; it is suggested that this is infiltrated serum lipid whereas the lipid in fat-filled cells is synthesized in situ.

Diffuse chemical injury caused a general increase in the amount of labeled protein in the intima, whereas focal injury produced a local accumulation which suggested that injury may account for the increased deposition of protein.

It is shown that 131 I-albumin crosses the normal aortic endothelium, and that the uptake shows both regional and focal differences, which are interpreted as indicating focal spontaneous areas of increased endothelial permeability, possibly the result of focal hemodynamic injury.

The development of atherosclerosis has been studied in White Carneau and Show Racer pigeons and the results of analytical studies indicate that the disease process is characterized by the accumulation of various lipids, and especially of sterol esters and free sterols.

The fact that in the greater proportion of the cholesterol-fed animals the specific activities of individual aortic phosphatides exceeded those of the corresponding lipides in plasma is presented as further evidence that the aortIC phospholipides are synthesized in the aORTa itself rather than derived from the plasma by deposition.

The studies in vitro were used as evidence to show that the enhanced synthesis observed in vivo was probably not mediated by neural factors or stretch of the aorta, and that synthesis in situ could account for the higher amounts of phospholipid present in the atheromatousAorta.

Using in vitro techniques and labeled linoleic acid and glucose, alterations in phospholipid synthesis in the aorta were correlated with electron microscopic studies at various intervals of time after feeding rabbits cholesterol to suggest a cellular requirement for increased intracytoplasmic structural phospholIPid.

Differences were found between various parts of the aorta, the actomyosin increasing with increasing distance from the heart, and the inhibition of the former by salyrgan is probably the only practicable means for the evaluation of actomyOSin in arterial wall.
