A green-inspired method to prepare non-split high-density lipoprotein (HDL) carrier with anti-dysfunctional activities superior to reconstituted HDL. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023; 182:115-127. [PMID: 36529255 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein (HDL), especially oxidized HDL (OxHDL), could generate multifaceted in vivo proatherogenic effects that run counter to the antiatherogenic activities of HDL. It thereby reminded us that the in vitro reconstituted HDL (rHDL) might encountered with oxidation-induced dysfunction. Accordingly, a green-inspired method was employed to recycle non-split HDL from human plasma fraction IV. Then it was compared with rHDL formulated by an ethanol-injection method in terms of physicochemical properties and anti-dysfunctional activities. Results exhibited that rHDL oxidation extent exceeded that of non-split HDL evidenced by higher malondialdehy content, weaker inhibition on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and more superoxide anion. The reserved paraoxonase-1 activity on non-split HDL could partially explain for above experimental results. In the targeted transport mechanism experiment, upon SR-BI receptor inhibition and/or CD36 receptor blockage, the almost unchanged non-split HDL uptake in lipid-laden macrophage indicated its negligible oxidation modification profile with regard to rHDL again. Furthermore, compared to rHDL, better macrophage biofunctions were observed for non-split HDL as illustrated by accelerated cholesterol efflux, inhibited oxidized LDL uptake and lessened cellular lipid accumulation. Along with decreased ROS secretion, obviously weakened oxidative stress damage was also detected under treatment with non-split HDL. More importantly, foam cells with non-split HDL-intervention inspired an enhanced inflammation repression and apoptosis inhibition effect. Collectively, the anti-dysfunctional activities of non-split HDL make it suitable as a potential nanocarrier platform for cardiovascular drug payload and delivery.

Abstract
AIMS Human plasma lipoproteins are known to contain various glycan structures whose composition and functional importance are starting to be recognized. We assessed N-glycosylation of human plasma HDL and LDL and the role of their glycomes in cellular cholesterol metabolism. METHODS N-glycomic profiles of native and neuraminidase-treated HDL and LDL were obtained using HILIC-UHPLC-FLD. Relative abundance of the individual chromatographic peaks was quantitatively expressed as a percentage of total integrated area and N-glycan structures present in each peak were elucidated by MALDI-TOF MS. The capacity of HDL to mediate cellular efflux of cholesterol and the capacity of LDL to induce cellular accumulation of cholesteryl esters were evaluated in THP-1 cells. RESULTS HILIC-UHPLC-FLD analysis of HDL and LDL N-glycans released by PNGase F resulted in 22 and 18 distinct chromatographic peaks, respectively. The majority of N-glycans present in HDL (~70%) and LDL (~60%) were sialylated with one or two sialic acid residues. The most abundant N-glycan structure in both HDL and LDL was a complex type biantennary N-glycan with one sialic acid (A2G2S1). Relative abundances of several N-glycan structures were dramatically altered by the neuraminidase treatment, which selectively removed sialic acid residues. Native HDL displayed significantly greater efficacy in removing cellular cholesterol from THP-1 cells as compared to desialylated HDL (p < 0.05). Cellular accumulation of cholesteryl esters in THP-1 cells was significantly higher after incubations with desialylated LDL particles as compared to native LDL (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS N-glycome of human plasma lipoproteins reveals a high level of diversity, which directly impacts functional properties of the lipoproteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We measured efflux from macrophages to apolipoprotein B-depleted serum from 263 specimens and found instances in which serum having similar high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) differed in their efflux capacity. Thus, we wanted to elucidate why efflux capacity could be independent of total HDL-C or apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). METHODS AND RESULTS To understand why sera with similar HDL-C or apoA-I could differ in total efflux capacity, we assessed their ability to promote efflux via the pathways expressed in cAMP-treated J774 macrophages. Briefly, macrophages were preincubated with probucol to block ABCA1, with BLT-1 to block SR-BI, and with both inhibitors to measure residual efflux. ABCG1 efflux was measured with transfected BHK-1 cells. We used apolipoprotein B-depleted serum from specimens with similar HDL-C values at the 25(th) and 75(th) percentiles. Specimens in each group were classified as having high or low efflux based on total efflux being above or below the group average. We found that independently of HDL-C, sera with higher efflux capacity had a significant increase in ABCA1-mediated efflux, which was significantly correlated to the concentration of pre beta-1 HDL. The same result was obtained when these sera were similarly analyzed based on similar apoA-I. CONCLUSIONS Sera with similar HDL-C or apoA-I differ in their ability to promote macrophage efflux because of differences in the concentration of pre beta-1 HDL.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic plaques result from the excessive deposition of cholesterol esters derived from lipoproteins and lipoprotein fragments. Tissue macrophage within the intimal space of major arterial vessels have been shown to play an important role in this process. We demonstrate in a transfection system using two human cell lines that the macrophage scavenger receptor CD36 selectively elicited lipid uptake from Cu(2+)-oxidized high density lipoprotein (HDL) but not from native HDL or low density lipoprotein (LDL). The uptake of oxHDL displayed morphological and biochemical similarities with the CD36-dependent uptake of oxidized LDL. CD36-mediated uptake of oxidized HDL by macrophage may therefore contribute to atheroma formation.

Abstract
The short-term effects of bezafibrate on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol quality and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism in 186 postmenopausal hypertriglyceridemic women were investigated. Patients were randomized to an untreated group and to bezafibrate (400 mg/d) for 6 months. Fasting lipid concentrations, high-density lipoprotein 2, and high-density lipoprotein 3 levels were measured at baseline and after 3 and 6 months. At 3 months, bezafibrate had significantly decreased mean serum triglycerides and remnant-like particle cholesterol levels (105.7 +/- 43.4 mg/dL and 5.33 +/- 2.1 mg/dL, P < .001, respectively) from baseline values (232.5 +/- 63.9 mg/dL and 9.69 +/- 3.8 mg/dL, respectively). It also maintained lower total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and remnant-like particle cholesterol concentrations to 6 months. After 3 months, it significantly increased mean serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (55.1 +/- 14.7 vs 64.8 +/- 12.1 mg/dL; P < .0001) and maintained higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol at 6 months. The high-density lipoprotein 2-high-density lipoprotein 3 ratio was decreased after 3 months of therapy with bezafibrate (2.13 +/- 0.68) from the baseline (2.42 +/- 0.71) (P < .01).

Abstract
This study was to investigate whether oxidatively modified lipoproteins were associated with changes of pro- and anticoagulant profiles in hypertriglyceridemic subjects. Plasma VLDL, LDL, and HDL were isolated with the one-step density gradient ultracentrifugation method. The oxidation of the lipoproteins was identified. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thrombplastin time (APTT), tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and platelet aggregation rate were determined with a reaction system consisting of mixed fresh normal plasma, in endogenous hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) patients, in in vitro modified lipoproteins from a normolipidemic donor, and in experimental rats. The results indicated that oxVLDL, oxLDL, and oxHDL occurred in the plasma of HTG patients. Compared with the control group, PT and APTT, incubated with plasma VLDL, LDL, or HDL from HTG patients, respectively, were significantly reduced, while platelet maximal aggregation rates were significantly higher (P < 0.05-0.01). Similar procoagulant profiles were observed in in vitro modified lipoprotein components and in rats with intrinsic hypertriglyceridemia as well. These results support our previous finding that LDL, VLDL, and HDL were all oxidatively modified in vivo in the subjects with HTG, and suggest that procoagulation state may result from the abnormal plasma lipoprotein oxidative modification in vivo.

Abstract
Modified (oxidized) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a significant role in atherosclerosis by accumulation in arteries. Also, glycated LDL, such as in diabetics, are increasing the risk for atherosclerosis, due to an increased oxidizability as compared to native LDL. For these reasons, the potential inhibition of such modifications is of clinical importance. We investigated the influence of simvastatin on oxidation of native and modified LDL as well as high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which plays a protective role in atherosclerosis. Quantitative assessment of the oxidation end-product malondialdehyde (MDA) revealed the highest inhibitory rate for HDL at concentrations of 1.6 microg/ml and 0.8 microg/ml by 30.3% and 20.4%, at 6 h and 4 h, respectively. At 24 h, the inhibition was still persisting amounting to 27.9% and 20.3%, respectively. For native LDL, we found less inhibition of oxidation at a concentration of 1.6 microg/ml amounting to 19.2% and 11.5%, for 4 h and 6 h, respectively. Similar effects were found at a concentration of 0.8 microg/ml. For modified, glycated LDL, the most pronounced effect was found at a concentration of 1.6 microg/ml amounting to 22.4% for the period of 2-24 h of oxidation. For glycoxidated LDL, the inhibition of oxidation was less expressed amounting to 10.1% for the period of 2-6 h at the same concentration. The influence of simvastatin on lag time (protection from oxidation) by diene conjugation was also investigated. At the highest concentration of simvastatin (1.6 microg/ml), we found a prolongation of lag time from 73 min to 99 min for native LDL, for glycoxidated LDL 60 min to 89 min and for HDL 54 min to 64 min. For glycated LDL, only a small decrease of lag time (66 min versus 71 min) at same concentration was observed. For glycated and glycoxidated LDL, we found a moderate increase in relative electrophoretic mobility (REM) by 2.0 and 2.3, respectively, but no changes in the presence of simvastatin were observed. These data show that simvastatin besides its lipid-lowering action has also significant antioxidative properties.

Abstract
Background Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a key event in the oxidation hypothesis of atherogenesis. Some in vitro experiments have previously suggested that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) co-incubated with LDL prevents Cu2+-induced oxidation of LDL, while some other studies have observed an opposite effect. To comprehensively clarify the role of HDL in this context, we isolated LDL, HDL2 and HDL3 from sera of 61 free-living individuals (33 women and 28 men). Results When the isolated LDL was subjected to Cu2+-induced oxidation, both HDL2 and HDL3 particles increased the rate of appearance and the final concentration of conjugated dienes similarly in both genders. Oxidation rate was positively associated with polyunsaturated fatty acid content of the lipoproteins in that it was positively related to the content of linoleate and negatively related to oleate. More saturated fats thus protected the lipoproteins from damage. Conclusion We conclude that in vitro HDL does not protect LDL from oxidation, but is in fact oxidized fastest of all lipoproteins due to its fatty acid composition, which is oxidation promoting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The influence of the menopause on the HDL2/HDL3 ratio was assessed in association with hypertriglyceridemia. METHODS Fasting blood samples were collected from 607 patients. Commercially available enzymatic methods were used for determination of TG, and total HDL-C. HDL2 and HDL3 were measured by ultracentrifugation. RESULTS The HDL2/HDL3 ratio had a strong negative correlation with TG (r=-0.272, P<0.0001 and r=-0.314, P<0.0001) in both pre- and postmenopausal women. No significant differences were observed in HDL2, HDL3, and HDL2/HDL3 ratio between pre- and postmenopausal women without hypertriglyceridemia. Postmenopausal women had a significantly higher HDL2/HDL3 ratio than premenopausal women with hypertriglyceridemia. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that menopausal status not only increases plasma LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but also increases the HDL2/HDL3 ratio when associated with elevation of plasma triglyceride levels. These changes may increase the risk for CHD due to enlargement of the lipid pool.

Abstract
This paper reviews working procedures for the separation and detection of oxidized high-density lipoproteins (ox-HDL) and their constituents. It begins with an introductory overview of structural alterations of the HDL particle and its constituents generated during oxidation. The main body of the review delineates various procedures for the isolation and detection of ox-HDL as well as the purification and separation of phosphatidylcholine metabolites and denatured apolipoproteins in the particle. The useful methods published more recently are picked up and the utility of the separation techniques is described. The last section covers a clinical evaluation of changes in these factors in ox-HDL as well as future directions of ox-HDL research.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein oxidation is implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Plasma susceptibility to oxidation may be used as a marker of low-density lipoprotein oxidation and thus predict atherosclerotic risk. In this study the authors investigated the relationship between plasma susceptibility to oxidation and exposure to automotive pollution in a group of automobile mechanics (n = 16) exposed to high levels of automotive pollution, vs. matched controls (n = 13). The authors induced plasma oxidation by a free radical initiator and they determined susceptibility to oxidation by (1) change in absorbance at 234 nm, (2) lag time to conjugated diene formation, and (3) linear slope of the oxidation curve. Mechanics had significantly higher values (mean +/- standard error) for change in absorbance (1.60 +/- 0.05 vs. 1.36 +/- 0.05; p < .002), and slope (1.6 x 10(-3) +/- 0.1 x 10(-3) vs. 1.3 x 10(-3) +/- 0.1 x 10(-3); p < .001), compared with controls. These results indicate that regular exposure to automotive pollutants increases plasma susceptibility to oxidation and may, in the long-term, increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Lipoprotein retention in the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a critical role in atherogenesis. Previous studies demonstrated the presence of apo A-I and E in atherosclerotic lesions, suggesting that HDL may be trapped by the artery wall. We sought to determine mechanisms by which HDL could be bound and retained by the arterial wall, and whether apo E was a principal determinant of this binding. We evaluated in situ accumulation of fluorescently labeled DiI-human HDL+/-apo E in perfused carotid arteries from apo E-null mice. Apo E was important in mediating HDL binding to the vascular wall, with a 48+/-16% increase in accumulation of DiI-labeled apo E-containing HDL (HDL3+E) compared with DiI-apo E-free HDL (HDL3-E) (P=0.003). To investigate possible mechanisms responsible for retention, we assessed binding of unlabeled HDL3-E and HDL3+E to ECM generated by cultured arterial smooth muscle cells. Similar to the in situ carotid artery data, HDL3+E bound better to the ECM than did HDL3-E (3-fold lower K(a) and 3.5-fold higher B(max) for HDL3+E versus HDL3-E). These differences were eliminated after either neutralization of arginine residues on apo E or digestion of matrix with chondroitin ABC lyase, suggesting that chondroitin and/or dermatan sulfate proteoglycans were responsible for apo E-mediated increased binding. These findings demonstrate that HDL can bind to both intact murine carotid arteries and smooth muscle cell-derived ECM, and that apo E is a principal determinant in mediating the ability of HDL to be trapped and retained via its interaction with ECM proteoglycans.

Abstract
In all species there are potential ocular manifestations when circulating lipoproteins are raised and these may be transient or permanent Many factors, both systemic and local, influence lipid influx and accumulation (progression) and lipid mobilisation and efflux (regression). In both humans and animals some types of lipid deposition will regress if the local and systemic factors involved in pathogenesis can be modified. There are inescapable parallels with the same phenomena in other tissues.Three types of corneal lipid deposition have been linked with hyperlipoproteinaemia. In corneal arcus, lipid is deposited preferentially in the warmest part of the cornea initially and, in people, the lipid remains almost exclusively extracellular. In animals, corneal arcus is associated with initial extracellular lipid deposition followed by the appearance of intracellular lipid and vascularisation, so that established corneal arcus tends to become more typical of lipid keratopathy. In humans, hyperlipoproteinaemia may be an associated systemic factor and early onset corneal arcus is a recognised feature of certain primary hyperlipoproteinaemias and their secondary phenotypes. In dogs, corneal arcus is always associated with hyperlipoproteinaemia. Corneal vascularisation is a ubiquitous feature of lipid keratopathy in all species and both necrotic fibroblasts and foam cells are common in progressive lesions. The extent and position of lipid deposition and the evolution of lipid keratopathy can be related to local ocular disease and circulating lipids and lipoproteins. Many aspects of the pathogenesis of lipid keratopathy are similar to those of atherogenesis. Hyperlipoproteinaemia, especially hypercholesterolaemia is the commonest systemic abnormality. In crystalline stromal dystrophy (Schnyder's crystalline stromal dystrophy) of the cornea there is no inflammatory element and no vascularisation. The dystrophy is associated with accumulation of lipid within the corneal fibroblasts, but typical foam cells are absent, the crystalline opacity involves the coolest part of the cornea, correlates with local fibroblast death, and is always bilateral. Hyperlipoproteinaemia, may be present, but this is not universally so.The objective of this paper is to evaluate the factors that may influence ocular involvement in hyperlipoproteinaemia. A comparative approach, utilising information available from studies of both ocular and non-ocular tissues, aids elucidation of the complex pathogenesis.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) impairs several biologic functions critical to its role in reverse cholesterol transport. We therefore investigated the effect of dietary polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E on the kinetics of HDL oxidation. Ten subjects were fed sequentially: a baseline diet in which the major fat source was olive oil; a high polyunsaturated fat diet in which the major fat source was safflower oil; and the safflower oil diet plus 800 I.U. vitamin E per day. Plasma lipoprotein levels, vitamin E content, fatty acid composition, and oxidation lag time and rate were determined after 3 weeks on each diet. The polyunsaturated fat diet increased the mean HDL(2) lag time from 45.8+/-12.5 to 83.3+/-11.6 min with no change in oxidation rate. Addition of vitamin E further increased the HDL(2) lag time to 115.6+/-4.4 min and decreased the HDL(2) oxidation rate 10-fold. Neither the polyunsaturated diet alone nor the diet with vitamin E supplementation had any effect on HDL(3) oxidation. We conclude that under conditions of controlled dietary fat intake, a high polyunsaturated fat intake does not increase the oxidation susceptibility of HDL subfractions, and that in this setting, vitamin E supplementation reduces the oxidation susceptibility of HDL(2). These data suggest that antioxidants could influence HDL function in vivo.

Abstract
Monocyte scavenger receptor, CD36 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as a major oxidised LDL receptor mediating lipid accumulation and foam cell formation. Previously, we found that treatment of monocyte cultures with the carboxyl terminal fragment of alpha1-antitrypsin (C-36) increases lipid binding and uptake, induces LDL receptor mRNA and CD36 receptor protein expression, and also significantly increases production of pro-inflammatory molecules. To assess the role of the CD36 receptor in proatherogenic monocyte activation by the C-36 fragment, we tested whether specific anti-CD36 receptor antibodies would block the effects of C-36 on monocyte activation. We find that pre-incubation of cells with anti-LDL and anti-CD36 receptor antibodies (10 microg/ml) blocks binding of 125I-C-36 by about 50%. Similarly, cells pre-incubated with oxidised LDL or native LDL at concentrations from 2.5 to 10 microg/ml showed a loss of 125I-C-36 binding (up to 49 and 57%) and uptake (up to 47 and 59.8%), respectively. In parallel experiments, monocytes were first incubated for 1 or 6 h with anti-CD36 antibodies (10 microg/ml) prior to adding C-36 peptide. Anti-CD36 antibodies suppressed C-36-induced production of gelatinase B, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-6 and cellular oxygen consumption to control levels, whereas levels of TNFalpha were unaffected. In contrast, saturation of LDL receptors with excess of anti-LDL (20 microg/ml) significantly inhibited C-36 induced TNFalpha levels. Results indicate that the C-36 peptide binds to both LDL and CD36 scavenger receptors which involves selective upregulation of pro-inflammatory molecules and activation of the respiratory burst in human monocytes. This also supports important roles for CD36 and LDL receptors in atherogenesis and suggests that blockade of CD36 receptor can be protective in pro-inflammatory activation of human monocytes.

Abstract
Lipoprotein retention by vascular extracellular matrix proteoglycans is important in atherogenesis. Proteoglycans bind apolipoprotein (apo)B- and apoE-containing lipoproteins. However, the colocalization of apoA-I and apoE with biglycan in atherosclerotic lesions suggests that vascular proteoglycans also may trap high density lipoproteins (HDLs). Because the major HDL subclasses may be atheroprotective to different degrees, we investigated the role of apoE in mediating HDL(2) and HDL(3) binding to the extracellular vascular proteoglycan, biglycan. ApoE-free HDL(2) and HDL(3) did not bind to purified [(35)S]SO(4)-biglycan, whereas apoE-containing HDL(2) and HDL(3) (HDL+E) did. The extent of binding correlated positively with the apoE content for both HDL(2) and HDL(3), although HDL(2)+E had a 3.5-fold higher affinity than did HDL(3)+E. ApoE on HDL(3) was cleaved into 22- and 12-kDa fragments, whereas apoE on HDL(2) remained intact. These results suggest that the cleaved apoE on HDL(3) results in diminished biglycan binding of HDL(3)+E relative to HDL(2)+E. Reducing positive charges on lysine and arginine residues on HDL+E eliminated biglycan binding, suggesting an ionic interaction. Thus, apoE is an important determinant of HDL binding to extracellular vascular proteoglycans and may play a role in HDL retention in the artery wall.

Abstract
The atherogenic oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein is suggested to occur in the aortic intima. There is reasonable evidence to suggest that antioxidants might be beneficial in preventing or retarding the progression of atherosclerosis. Exercise, estrogens, and substitution of polyunsaturated fat for saturated fat are beneficial in the prevention of atherosclerosis. Yet, paradoxically, they are capable of inducing an oxidative stress. To reconcile with this paradox, we postulate that under certain conditions an oxidative stress might be beneficial by inducing antioxidant enzymes in arterial cells. However, those with genetic deficiency in antioxidant enzymes or those who poorly respond to oxidative stress or those with overwhelming plasma oxidative stress might need additional antioxidant protection.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) exists within the brain and is highly vulnerable to oxidative modifications. The focus of the present study was to determine the effect of HDL and oxidized HDL (oxHDL) upon neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. Administration of highly oxidized HDL, but not native, minimally, or moderately modified HDL resulted in a dose- and time-dependent increase in oxidative stress and death of cultured rat embryonic neurons. Astrocyte and microglia cultures treated with highly oxidized HDL displayed increased reactive oxygen species formation but no toxicity. Application of oxHDL exacerbated oxidative stress and neuron death induced by beta-amyloid peptide. Studies using pharmacological inhibitors implicate the involvement of calcium and reactive oxygen species in oxHDL-induced neuronal loss. Neural cells expressing increased levels of BCL-2 had decreased levels of oxidative stress and neuron death following exposure to oxHDL. Together, these data demonstrate that oxHDL increases oxidative stress in neurons, astrocytes, and microglia which ultimately culminate in neuron death.

Abstract
Elevated levels of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) are strongly predictive of protection against atherosclerotic vascular disease. HDL particles likely have several beneficial actions in vivo, including the initiation of reverse cholesterol transport. The apparent importance of oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein in atherogenesis raises the question of how oxidative modification of HDL might affect its cardioprotective actions. HDL is readily oxidized using numerous models of lipoprotein oxidation. In vitro evidence suggests oxidation might impair some protective actions, but actually enhance other mechanisms induced by HDL that prevent the accumulation of cholesterol in the artery wall. This article reviews the current literature concerning the relative oxidizability of HDL, the structural changes induced in HDL by oxidation in vitro, and the potential consequences of oxidative modification on the protective actions of HDL in vivo.

Abstract
Treatment with statins are known to lower plasma and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels with resultant prevention and regression of atherosclerosis. It has been recently suggested that the action of the statins may also have a direct effect on other mechanisms involved in the atherosclerotic plaque formation. Thus, we investigated whether simvastatin could have an antioxidant effect on plasma lipoproteins. The rate of oxidation of LDL and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) was measured by conjugated diene formation with and without the addition of increasing concentrations of simvastatin (in vitro) and in patients with and without treatment with simvastatin (in vivo). A strong correlation was observed between increasing simvastatin concentration and the lag phase, a negative correlation was observed for maximal rate and maximum diene production in LDL samples (r2 = +0.97, p <0.0001; r2 = -0.92, p <0.0001; r2 = -0.98, p <0.0001, respectively). For HDL no clear correlation could be established with the lag phase, but a strong negative correlation was also observed between simvastatin concentration and maximal rate and maximum diene production (r2 = -0.69, p <0.01; r2 = -0.98, p <0.0001, respectively). After 6 hours of oxidation the production of aldehydes in LDL and HDL was lower (30% and 5%, respectively) in samples obtained during simvastatin therapy with respect to those obtained without treatment. The 2,4-decadienal showed a decrease of 37% and 64% (p <0.05) in both oxidized-LDL and oxidized-HDL particles, respectively, with simvastatin treatment. Our findings demonstrate that simvastatin acts as an antioxidant in lipoprotein particles and, together with its lipid-lowering properties, could play an important role in preventing atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Recent study demonstrated high susceptibility of plasma LDL to lipid peroxidative modification in patients with variant angina. Oxidized stress state, especially oxidized LDL, may induce coronary artery spasm by its impairing effect of endothelium-dependent arterial relaxation, but precise mechanisms remain unclear. Study subjects included 93 patients who underwent coronary angiographic examination: 12 patients with coronary artery spasm provoked by ergonovine without organic stenosis (group I), 11 patients who did not demonstrate coronary artery spasm or organic stenosis (group II) and 70 patients with organic coronary artery stenosis (group III). Levels of plasma HDL-cholesterol and apoA-I in group I were similar to those in III but were significantly lower than those in II, although the other plasma lipid parameters were not different among the three groups. The levels of TBARS in plasma and HDL were significantly higher in group I than in II or III (2.94+/-1.56 vs. 1.91+/-0.35 or 2.23+/-0.89 nmol MDA/ml and 1.23+/-1.00 vs. 0.54+/-0.37 or 0.70+/-0.63 nmol MDA/mg protein; P < 0.05), although the levels of TBARS in LDL were not significantly different. In the monitoring curve of diene production during copper-induced lipid peroxidation of HDL, its propagation slope was steeper and levels of maximum diene absorbance was higher in group I as compared with that in II or III, but not found in those of LDL. These results suggested that high susceptibility of HDL to lipid peroxidative modification in group I may contribute to the genesis of coronary artery spasm, and oxidized HDL rather than oxidized LDL is more likely to be related to coronary artery spasm.

Abstract
The function of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) in reverse cholesterol transport is impaired if HDLs are subjected to oxidative stress. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), which have been detected in the earliest stages of atherosclerotic lesions, are one of the most likely sources of the reactive oxygen species that cause such stress. In this study, we investigated the effect of a PMN oxidative burst on HDL3. We also studied the impact on these events of pentoxifylline, a drug that regulates granulocyte function. HDL3 (370 nmol.mL-1 cholesterol-HDL) was incubated with PMNs (2 x 106. mL-1) in NaCl/Pi in the presence or absence of an iron chelate complex (10 microm Fe-nitrilotriacetic acid) at 37 degreesC for 60 min or 24 h. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or formyl-methionylleucyphenylalanine (fMetLeuPhe) was used to stimulate PMNs. In iron-free NaCl/Pi medium, PMA-stimulated PMNs had a 40% lower HDL3 alpha-tocopherol content, whatever the incubation time. In NaCl/Pi medium containing iron, there was 80% less HDL3 alpha-tocopherol at 60 min, and HDL3 alpha-tocopherol had almost disappeared after 24 h. In this latter condition, the amount of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances was significantly higher than the respective control HDL3 (P < 0.05) and oxidation of HDL3 by PMA-stimulated PMNs was associated with cross-linking of apoprotein AI, which was detected by SDS/PAGE. Similar results were obtained with fMetLeuPhe-stimulated PMN except that HDL3 alpha-tocopherol was consumed much more slowly during the first 60 min. Pretreatment of PMNs with various concentrations of pentoxifylline (0.001-20 mm) led to the concentration-dependent inhibition of oxidative modification of HDL3 induced by stimulated PMNs. The addition of 20 mm pentoxifylline in the most extreme oxidative stress conditions resulted in 70% of HDL3 alpha-tocopherol being maintained, with no formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and a lower level of apoprotein AI cross-linking. Thus HDL3 is susceptible to oxidative modifications induced by stimulated PMNs, in the presence of an exogenous source of iron. Pentoxifylline inhibited the oxidative modification of HDL3 by PMNs.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) develop abnormalities in plasma lipoproteins that may contribute to their increased risk for atherosclerosis. The oxidative modification of lipoproteins is considered to play a central role in atherogenesis. This study examines the susceptibility to oxidation in vitro of low- and high-density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL, respectively) obtained from long-term CAPD patients. CAPD LDL was less susceptible to copper-mediated protein derivatization (fluorescence) compared with control LDL CAPD LDL and HDL displayed less copper-promoted conjugated-diene production and lipid peroxide generation, suggesting a greater resistance of CAPD lipoprotein lipids to oxidation. Autooxidation during long-term storage was also much lower in CAPD LDL and HDL. However, when 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (ABAP) was used to initiate oxidation, there was no difference in conjugated-diene generation between CAPD and the control. CAPD LDL contained slightly less oxidizable, polyunsaturated fatty acid, but the vitamin E content of CAPD and control LDL was equivalent. Our findings indicate that lipoproteins from uremic patients undergoing long-term CAPD are more resistant to in vitro oxidation than control lipoproteins.

Abstract
One of the proposed antiatherogenicity role of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) is believed to stimulate removal of cholesterol from the peripheral cells back to the liver for excretion. We have investigated the effects of oxidation-related modifications of HDL on their ability to stimulate cholesterol efflux from cultured cells. Human HDL (HDL3, 1.13 < d < 1.21 g/ml) have been modified either by malondialdehyde or by copper-mediated oxidation (Ox-HDL3). Compared with native HDL3, the modified HDL3 resulted in a significantly reduced efflux of labeled cholesterol from preloaded macrophages (P388D1 cell line). Analysis of lipid composition of Ox-HDL3 by gas chromatography revealed the presence of oxysterols (OS). Enrichment of native HDL3 with oxysterols resulted in a reduced capacity to stimulate cholesterol efflux. The reduced ability of OS-enriched HDL3 to elicit cholesterol efflux may contribute to cellular cholesterol accumulation and subsequently to atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Lipoprotein oxidation induced in vitro in whole plasma is expected to be a more relevant model of the lipoprotein oxidation in the arterial wall than the in vitro oxidation of single isolated lipoproteins, e.g., low density lipoprotein (LDL). However, it is unclear, whether the oxidizability of whole plasma may serve as an adequate measure of the oxidizability of plasma lipoproteins. We measured the oxidizability of whole plasma diluted 150-fold as an absorbance increase at 234 nm known to reflect the level of conjugated dienes in the samples. Plasma oxidation was induced by Cu(II), 2,2'-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), lipoxygenase or myeloperoxidase+H2O2. Oxidizability of human plasma measured in the presence of Cu(II) was found to correlate with the oxidizability of LDL measured in the common Cu(II)-based LDL oxidation assay. The plasma oxidizability also correlated positively with plasma oxidizable fatty acid and negatively with plasma antioxidant content. Supplementation of human plasma with different antioxidants (albumin, urate, ascorbate, bilirubin, alpha-tocopherol and ubiquinol-10) in vitro decreased its oxidizability. Supplementation of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidaemic rabbits with different antioxidants (vitamin E, ubiquinone-10, probucol, carvedilol) in vivo lowered the oxidizability of rabbit plasma in comparison with rabbits fed standard diet. When plasma from hyperlipidaemic patients with or without coronary heart disease and from age-matched healthy controls was studied, the plasma oxidizability was found to be highest in the patients with coronary heart disease and lowest in the controls. Taken together, these data indicate that the plasma oxidation assay (i) provides information similar to that obtained using the common LDL oxidation assay, (ii) upgrades the latter, taking into account the effect of hydrophilic antioxidants on lipoprotein oxidation and characterizing the oxidizability of all plasma lipoproteins, and (iii) offers important practical advantages, such as fast and simple sample processing, low amount of plasma required and avoidance of artefactual oxidation during lipoprotein isolation. We propose the measurement of plasma oxidizability at 234 nm as an adequate practical index of the oxidizability of plasma lipoproteins.

Abstract
It has been established that oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) modifies cytokine secretion by macrophages, for example, by reducing tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-(alpha) m-RNA. However, little is known about the effects of oxidized high density lipoprotein (ox-HDL). This study reports the effects of ox-HDL subfractions 2 and 3 (ox-HDL2, ox-HDL3) compared with that of ox-LDL and some products of oxidation (hydroperoxides and aldehydes) on the secretion of TNF-alpha from THP-1 human monocytes derived macrophages in vitro. HDL2, HDL3 and LDL were oxidized with 10 microM Cu++ for 12 h and/or 24 h. Native and oxidized HDL and LDL were incubated for 24 h with macrophages with or without LPS (10 ng/ml) after which TNF-alpha secretion was measured in the culture medium. Lipid hydroperoxides and apolar aldehydes were also incubated with the cells for 2 h following which the medium was replaced and TNF-alpha secretion measured after a further 22 h of incubation. An inhibition of TNF-alpha by ox-HDL2 (p < .05), ox-HDL3 (p < .05) and ox-LDL (p < .05) from THP-1 macrophages was observed in the presence and absence of LPS. This inhibition remained the same after incubation with ox-HDL 12 h and 24 h. Hydroperoxides of linoleic acid did not modify TNF-alpha secretion by cells while five out of eight aldehydes analyzed (2,4-heptadienal, hexanal, 2-nonenal, 2-octenal, 2,4-decadienal) inhibited TNF-alpha secretion (p < .05). These findings demonstrate that ox-HDL, and some of its lipid peroxidation products, plays a role in the modulation of the inflammatory response by macrophages as previously observed for ox-LDL.

Abstract
The cytotoxic effect of native high density lipoprotein (n-HDL) and oxidised high density lipoprotein (ox-HDL) on macrophages was studied and compared with that of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Copper-mediated oxidation of HDL and LDL was conducted in vitro and assessed by the analysis of conjugated dienes (CD). The kinetics of CD production during lipoprotein oxidation showed that HDL, relative to LDL, exhibited a shorter lag phase (47.7 +/- 17.8 vs. 82.9 +/- 24.5 min), higher diene production (242.2 +/- 23.0 vs 210.4 +/- 14.9 nmol/mg lipid) and reached maximal diene concentration in less time (100.0 +/- 35.4 vs 136.4 +/- 27.9 min). The maximal rate of CD production was 5.38 +/- 1.30 nmol/mg lipid/min for HDL and 4.42 +/- 0.60 nmol/mg lipid/min for LDL. Vitamin E concentration was higher in HDL than in LDL (2.76 +/- 0.41 vs. 2.19 +/- 0.33 micrograms alpha-tocopherol equivalent/mg lipid). Ox-HDL and oxidised LDL (ox-LDL), under the same experimental conditions, were cytotoxic to macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. At the same protein, or total mass concentration, ox-HDL was less cytotoxic than ox-LDL. However, when both lipoproteins were compared at the same lipid or cholesterol concentrations, ox-HDL was equally or more cytotoxic than ox-LDL. In conclusion, HDL is more susceptible to in vitro oxidation than LDL and the resultant modification of HDL converts this lipoprotein into a cytotoxic particle.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether subjecting human plasma to oxidant stress reduces the activity of lecithin/cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT, EC 2.3.1.43). Plasma was incubated for 4 h with 2.25-45 mM of 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)HCl (AAPH), a source of peroxyl radicals. A time- and concentration-dependent reduction of LCAT activity occurred, relative to control samples incubated in the absence of AAPH. Reduction of LCAT activity was disproportionate to elevation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in the plasma. Added ascorbate was able to significantly prevent reduction of LCAT activity, but this effect was unrelated to blockage of TBARS formation by the antioxidant. The results suggest that LCAT activity can be down-modulated by oxidant stress, but not necessarily by lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
This paper describes an oxidative process of human high-density lipoproteins (HDL) based upon the action of oxygenated free radicals produced by water radiolysis (OH. and OH./O2.- free radicals at pH 7), monitored by both biochemical and physical markers. Classical biochemical markers (vitamin E, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes and differential fluorescence) were studied as a function of the radiation dose (from 0 to 800 Gy; dose rate = 2.7 x 10(-2) Gy.s(-1)). The fluorescence polarization anisotropy (r) was measured with 1,6-diphenylhexatriene (DPH). Vitamin E decrease and formation of lipid peroxidation products (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and conjugated dienes) were concomitant in the case of OH. free radicals alone, whereas these products appeared after a small threshold dose when OH. and O2.- free radicals were simultaneously produced in solution. At high radiation doses, TBARS concentrations have reached plateau values (approx. 2 or 7 nmol/mg lipid with OH. or OH./O2.- free radicals, respectively) which were much lower than those obtained after copper oxidation (approx. 15 or 29 nmol/mg lipid after 12 and 24 h incubation, respectively). The free radical-induced oxidative process has led to a rigidification of the HDL and was associated with low values of cholesterol effluxing capacities when these oxidized HDL were incubated with cholesterol-loaded human fibroblasts. Similar results were obtained with copper-oxidized HDL, under our experimental conditions. Consequently, these two kinds of oxidative modification of HDL resulted both in a loss of their capacity to remove cellular cholesterol, which could be explained by the fact that this ability was under the dependence of a HDL optimum fluidity.
