Oxidized- Low Density Lipoprotein Level Among Organophosphates (OPs) Pesticide Exposed WorkersNor Zamzila Abdullah1, Ishaka Aminu 1, Niza Samsuddin2, Razman Mohd Rus2 and Abdul Hadi Mohamed31Department of Basic Medical Sciences,2Department of Community Health and Family, Medicine, 3Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, International Islamic University Malaysia, Bandar Indera Mahkota, 25200 Kuantan, Pahang.

BackgroundOrganophosphate (OP) is one of the widely used pesticides worldwide. It has been shown to induce oxidative stress in both animal and human. Oxidative stress may stimulate the oxidation of lipoprotein particularly the low density-lipoprotein (LDL) which is known to promote atherogenesis. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is high density-lipoprotein (HDL) related enzyme which is recognized for its function to hydrolyze OPs into a relatively less toxic substance and prevent atherosclerosis by hydrolyzing oxidized-LDL (ox-LDL). Low PON1 activities were reported in OPs exposed individuals, while in different studies it was associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, a link between chronic OP exposure, PON1 activity and ox-LDL which is known for its contribution in the development of atherosclerosis has not yet been reported.

ResultsThe demographic data were homogeneous between the OPs exposed and the control groups. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) between the two groups with regard to age, race, body mass index (BMI) Kg/m2 and smoking status. The period of exposure among the OPs exposed subjects ranged from 7-204 months. The diazoxonase activity was significantly lower in the exposed group (table 1). The ox-LDL was significantly higher while the ratio of PON1 activities per unit of ox-LDL was significantly lower among the OPs exposed group (table 2).

MethodIn this cross-sectional study, 51 pesticide sprayers from 4 farms in Kuantan, Pahang who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited . Forty-eight (48) control subjects were selected based on matching process of age, ethnicity and income bracket. Serum samples were analyzed for PON1 activities towards substrates paraoxon, phenylacetate and diazoxon as well as for ox-LDL. The paraoxonase (PON), arylesterase (ARY) and diazoxonase (DZO) activities were determined spectrophotometrically according to methods described by Eckerson et al. (1983), Gan et al. (1990) and Davies et al. (1996) respectively. Enzyme activities were expressed as U/mL. The ox-LDL was determined by direct sandwich ELISA technique using Mercodia Ox-LDL ELISA kit. The ox-LDL was expressed in mU/L.

DiscussionThe finding of lower PON1 activities among the OPs exposed group is similar to the report by Hernandez et al. (2004) and Sozmen et al (2007). This may occur as a result of inactivation of PON1 enzyme by the highly toxic oxons (Aviram et al, 1999).The higher ox-LDL level among the OPs exposed group is in line with animal study by Shih, et al. (1998) and in vitro study by Aviram (1999). The lower PON1 to ox-LDL ratio indicates that the OPs exposed subjects had a reduced PON1 antioxidant capacity to hydrolyze ox-LDL . The higher ox-LDL level and the lower PON1 to ox-LDL ratio among the OPs exposed worker may be explained by the lower PON1 activities among this group as low PON1 reduces the ability of HDL to prevent the oxidation of LDL and reduces the ability to hydrolyze the LDL that has been oxidized. Furthermore, the OPs themselves may also contribute to the higher ox-LDL as they have been shown to increase oxidative stress (Ranjbar, et al., 2002). Since ox-LDL contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, our findings provide evidences that OPs may predispose an individual to atherosclerosis and CAD. This may also explain the observation in some recent studies that the low PON1 activities are associated with CAD (Mackness et al., 2001; Singh et al., 2007). To our knowledge, this is the first study in human reporting the level of ox-LDL among chronic OPs exposed individuals.               

Statistical AnalysisThe parametric data were presented as mean (SD) while the non parametric data were presented as median [interquartile range (IQR)]. The comparison of PON1 activities and the level of ox-LDL between the OPs exposed and the control groups were done by independent t-test (parametric data) and Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric data).

ConclusionIn conclusion, our data demonstrated that the increased ox-LDL among the OPs exposed subjects may result from the reduced serum antioxidant capacity of PON1. This may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis among the subjects in this group. A larger scale study is required to confirm our observation.

Objective and Hypothesis

The aim of this report was to compare the level of PON 1 activities and ox-LDL level between workers who are exposed to OPs and the comparative non-exposed group. Our hypothesis is that OPs exposure will lead to decreased PON1 activities which will reduce the ability to hydrolyze OPs and oxidized-LDL, thus predispose an individual to atherosclerosis and CAD.
