Abstract
BACKGROUND Apoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and Apoprotein B (ApoB) have emerged as novel cardiovascular risk biomarkers influenced by feeding behavior. Hypothalamic appetite peptides regulate feeding behavior and impact lipoprotein levels, which effects vary in different weight states. This study explores the intricate relationship between body mass index (BMI), hypothalamic appetite peptides, and apolipoproteins with emphasis on the moderating role of body weight in the association between neuropeptide Y (NPY), ghrelin, orexin A (OXA), oxytocin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral ApoA-I and ApoB. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we included participants with a mean age of 31.77 ± 10.25 years, categorized into a normal weight (NW) (n = 73) and an overweight/obese (OW/OB) (n = 117) group based on BMI. NPY, ghrelin, OXA, and oxytocin levels in CSF were measured. RESULTS In the NW group, peripheral ApoA-I levels were higher, while ApoB levels were lower than in the OW/OB group (all p < 0.05). CSF NPY exhibited a positive correlation with peripheral ApoA-I in the NW group (r = 0.39, p = 0.001). Notably, participants with higher CSF NPY levels had higher peripheral ApoA-I levels in the NW group and lower peripheral ApoA-I levels in the OW/OB group, showing the significant moderating effect of BMI on this association (R2 = 0.144, β=-0.54, p < 0.001). The correlation between ghrelin, OXA and oxytocin in CSF and peripheral ApoB in both groups exhibited opposing trends (Ghrelin: r = -0.03 and r = 0.04; OXA: r = 0.23 and r=-0.01; Oxytocin: r=-0.09 and r = 0.04). CONCLUSION This study provides hitherto undocumented evidence that BMI moderates the relationship between CSF NPY and peripheral ApoA-I levels. It also reveals the protective role of NPY in the NW population, contrasting with its risk factor role in the OW/OB population, which was associated with the at-risk for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a complex cascade of events, including myelin loss, neuronal damage, neuroinflammation, and the accumulation of damaged cells and debris at the injury site. Infiltrating bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMϕ) migrate to the epicenter of the SCI lesion, where they engulf cell debris including abundant myelin debris to become pro-inflammatory foamy macrophages (foamy Mϕ), participate neuroinflammation, and facilitate the progression of SCI. This study aimed to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the functional changes in foamy Mϕ and their potential implications for SCI. Contusion at T10 level of the spinal cord was induced using a New York University (NYU) impactor (5 g rod from a height of 6.25 mm) in male mice. ABCA1, an ATP-binding cassette transporter expressed by Mϕ, plays a crucial role in lipid efflux from foamy cells. We observed that foamy Mϕ lacking ABCA1 exhibited increased lipid accumulation and a higher presence of lipid-accumulated foamy Mϕ as well as elevated pro-inflammatory response in vitro and in injured spinal cord. We also found that both genetic and pharmacological enhancement of ABCA1 expression accelerated lipid efflux from foamy Mϕ, reduced lipid accumulation and inhibited the pro-inflammatory response of foamy Mϕ, and accelerated clearance of cell debris and necrotic cells, which resulted in functional recovery. Our study highlights the importance of understanding the pathologic role of foamy Mϕ in SCI progression and the potential of ABCA1 as a therapeutic target for modulating the inflammatory response, promoting lipid metabolism, and facilitating functional recovery in SCI.

Abstract
The APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster is an essential component in regulating lipoprotein metabolism and maintaining plasma lipid homeostasis. A genome-wide association analysis and Mendelian randomization have revealed potential associations between genetic variants within this cluster and lipid metabolism disorders, including hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular events. An enhanced understanding of the complexity of gene regulation has led to growing recognition regarding the role of epigenetic variation in modulating APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene expression. Intensive research into the epigenetic regulatory patterns of the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster will help increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders and facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches. This review discusses the biology of how the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster affects circulating lipoproteins and the current progress in the epigenetic regulation of the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster.

Abstract
Despite extensive use of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) biologics for over a decade, neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or choroidal neovascularization (CNV) continues to be a major cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries. Many nAMD patients demonstrate persistent disease activity or experience declining responses over time despite anti-VEGF treatment. The underlying mechanisms of anti-VEGF resistance are poorly understood, and no effective treatment strategies are available to date. Here we review evidence from animal models and clinical studies that supports the roles of neovascular remodeling and arteriolar CNV formation in anti-VEGF resistance. Cholesterol dysregulation, inflammation, and ensuing macrophage activation are critically involved in arteriolar CNV formation and anti-VEGF resistance. Combination therapy by neutralizing VEGF and enhancing cholesterol removal from macrophages is a promising strategy to combat anti-VEGF resistance in CNV.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease manifested in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and irreversible blindness. While lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only proven therapeutic strategy in glaucoma, it is insufficient for preventing disease progression, thus justifying the recent focus on targeting retinal neuroinflammation and preserving RGCs. We have identified apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) as the protein regulating several mechanisms of retinal neurodegeneration. AIBP controls excessive cholesterol accumulation via upregulating the cholesterol transporter ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) and reduces inflammatory signaling via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and mitochondrial dysfunction. ABCA1, TLR4 and oxidative phosphorylation components are genetically linked to primary open-angle glaucoma. Here we demonstrated that AIBP and ABCA1 expression was decreased, while TLR4, interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), and the cholesterol content increased in the retina of patients with glaucoma and in mouse models of glaucoma. Restoring AIBP expression by a single intravitreal injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-AIBP protected RGCs in glaucomatous DBA/2J mice, in mice with microbead-induced chronic IOP elevation, and optic nerve crush. In addition, AIBP expression attenuated TLR4 and IL-1 beta expression, localization of TLR4 to lipid rafts, reduced cholesterol accumulation, and ameliorated visual dysfunction. These studies collectively indicate that restoring AIBP expression in the glaucomatous retina reduces neuroinflammation and protects RGCs and Muller glia, suggesting the therapeutic potential of AAV-AIBP in human glaucoma.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nociceptive afferent signaling evoked by inflammation and nerve injury is mediated by the opening of ligand-gated and voltage-gated receptors or channels localized to cholesterol-rich lipid raft membrane domains. Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) nociceptors express high levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which also localize to lipid rafts. Genetic deletion or pharmacologic blocking of TLR4 diminishes pain associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). In DRGs of mice with paclitaxel-induced CIPN, we analyzed DRG neuronal lipid rafts, expression of TLR4, activation of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), and TLR4-TRPV1 interaction. Using proximity ligation assay, flow cytometry, and whole-mount DRG microscopy, we found that CIPN increased DRG neuronal lipid rafts and TLR4 expression. These effects were reversed by intrathecal injection of apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP), a protein that binds to TLR4 and specifically targets cholesterol depletion from TLR4-expressing cells. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy increased TRPV1 phosphorylation, localization to neuronal lipid rafts, and proximity to TLR4. These effects were also reversed by AIBP treatment. Regulation of TRPV1-TLR4 interactions and their associated lipid rafts by AIBP covaried with the enduring reversal of mechanical allodynia otherwise observed in CIPN. In addition, AIBP reduced intracellular calcium in response to the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin, which was increased in DRG neurons from paclitaxel-treated mice and in the naïve mouse DRG neurons incubated in vitro with paclitaxel. Together, these results suggest that the assembly of nociceptive and inflammatory receptors in the environment of lipid rafts regulates nociceptive signaling in DRG neurons and that AIBP can control lipid raft-associated nociceptive processing.

Abstract
Background Despite use of drug-eluting stents (DES), in-stent restenosis (ISR) continues adversely affecting clinical outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) has athero-protective effects. However, there is a paucity of clinical data regarding the association between apoA-I and ISR. We sought to investigate whether serum apoA-I is related to ISR after DES-based PCI. Methods In this retrospective case control study, 604 consecutive patients who underwent DES implantation before were enrolled. Patients who underwent repeat angiography within 12 months were included in the early ISR study (n = 205), while those beyond 12 months were included in the late ISR study (n = 399). ISR was defined as the presence of > 50% diameter stenosis at the stent site or at its edges. Clinical characteristics were compared between ISR and non-ISR patients in the early and late ISR study, respectively, after adjusting for confounding factors by multivariate logistic regression, stratified analysis, and propensity score matching. The predictive value was assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and quartile analysis. Results In the early ISR study, 8.8% (18 of 205) patients developed ISR. Serum apoA-I in the ISR group was lower than that in the non-ISR group (1.1 ± 0.26 vs. 1.24 ± 0.23, P < 0.05). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, apoA-I was an independent risk factor for early ISR. Incidence of early ISR showed negative correlation with apoA-I and could be predicted by the combined use of apoA-I and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level. In the late ISR study, 21.8% (87 of 399) patients developed ISR. On subgroup analysis, late ISR showed negative correlation with apoA-I irrespective of intensive lipid lowering; on multivariate logistic regression analysis, apoA-I was also an independent risk factor for late ISR. In patients with intensive lipid lowering, combined use of apoA-I, stenting time, and diabetes predicted the incidence of late ISR. Conclusions ApoA-I was an independent risk factor for ISR, and showed a negative correlation with ISR after DES-based PCI. Combined use of apoA-I and clinical indicators may better predict the incidence of ISR under certain circumstances.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread disease associated with high rates of disability and mortality. COPD is characterized by chronic inflammation in the bronchi as well as systemic inflammation, which contributes significantly to the clinically heterogeneous course of the disease. Lipid metabolism disorders are common in COPD, being a part of its pathogenesis. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are not only involved in lipid metabolism, but are also part of the organism’s immune and antioxidant defense. In addition, HDL is a versatile transport system for endogenous regulatory agents and is also involved in the removal of exogenous substances such as lipopolysaccharide. These functions, as well as information about lipoprotein metabolism disorders in COPD, allow a broader assessment of their role in the pathogenesis of heterogeneous and comorbid course of the disease.

Abstract
The maintenance of cellular cholesterol homeostasis is essential for normal cell function and viability. Excessive cholesterol accumulation is detrimental to cells and serves as the molecular basis of many diseases, such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes mellitus. The peripheral cells do not have the ability to degrade cholesterol. Cholesterol efflux is therefore the only pathway to eliminate excessive cholesterol from these cells. This process is predominantly mediated by ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), an integral membrane protein. ABCA1 is known to transfer intracellular free cholesterol and phospholipids to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) for generating nascent high-density lipoprotein (nHDL) particles. nHDL can accept more free cholesterol from peripheral cells. Free cholesterol is then converted to cholesteryl ester by lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase to form mature HDL. HDL-bound cholesterol enters the liver for biliary secretion and fecal excretion. Although how cholesterol is transported by ABCA1 to apoA-I remains incompletely understood, nine models have been proposed to explain this effect. In this review, we focus on the current view of the mechanisms underlying ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to provide an important framework for future investigation and lipid-lowering therapy.

Abstract
Cholesterol is a major component of mammalian cell membranes and plays important structural and functional roles. However, excessive cholesterol accumulation is toxic to cells and constitutes the molecular basis for many diseases, especially atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Thus, cellular cholesterol is tightly regulated to maintain a homeostasis. Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is thought to be one primary pathway to eliminate excessive cholesterol from the body. The first and rate-limiting step of RCT is ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transports A1 (ABCA1)- and ABCG1-dependent cholesterol efflux. In the process, ABCA1 mediates initial transport of cellular cholesterol to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) for forming nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, and ABCG1 facilitates subsequent continued cholesterol efflux to HDL for further maturation. In this chapter, we summarize the roles of ABCA1 and ABCG1 in maintaining cellular cholesterol homoeostasis and discuss the underlying mechanisms by which they mediate cholesterol export.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP), a secreted protein, has been shown to play a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis. The function of intracellular AIBP, however, is not yet well characterized. Here, we found that AIBP is abundantly expressed within human and mouse atherosclerotic lesions and exhibits a distinct localization in the inner membrane of mitochondria in macrophages. Bone marrow-specific AIBP deficiency promotes the progression of atherosclerosis and increases macrophage infiltration and inflammation in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice. Specifically, the lack of mitochondrial AIBP leads to mitochondrial metabolic disorders, thereby reducing the formation of mitophagy by promoting the cleavage of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1). With the reduction in mitochondrial autophagy, macrophages polarize to the M1 proinflammatory phenotype, which further promotes the development of atherosclerosis. Based on these results, mitochondrial AIBP in macrophages performs an antiatherosclerotic role by regulating of PINK1-dependent mitophagy and M1/M2 polarization. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Cholesterol in the circulation is mostly transported in an esterified form as a component of lipoproteins. The majority of these cholesteryl esters are produced in nascent, discoidal high density lipoproteins (HDLs) by the enzyme, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). Discoidal HDLs are discrete populations of particles that consist of a phospholipid bilayer, the hydrophobic acyl chains of which are shielded from the aqueous environment by apolipoproteins that also confer water solubility on the particles. The progressive LCAT-mediated accumulation of cholesteryl esters in discoidal HDLs generates the spherical HDLs that predominate in normal human plasma. Spherical HDLs contain a core of water insoluble, neutral lipids (cholesteryl esters and triglycerides) that is surrounded by a surface monolayer of phospholipids with which apolipoproteins associate. Although spherical HDLs all have the same basic structure, they are extremely diverse in size, composition, and function. This review is concerned with how the biogenesis of discoidal and spherical HDLs is regulated and the mechanistic basis of their size and compositional heterogeneity. Current understanding of the impact of this heterogeneity on the therapeutic potential of HDLs of varying size and composition is also addressed in the context of several disease states.

Abstract
The capacity of macrophages to dispose of cholesterol deposited in the atherosclerotic plaque depends on their ability to activate cholesterol efflux pathways. To develop athero-protective therapies aimed at promoting macrophage cholesterol efflux, cholesterol metabolism in THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages has been extensively studied, but the intrinsic sensitivity of monocytes and the lack of a standardized procedure to differentiate THP-1 monocytes into macrophages have made it difficult to utilize THP-1 macrophages in the same or similar degree of differentiation across studies. The variability has resulted in lack of understanding of how the differentiation affects cholesterol metabolism, and here we review and investigate the effects of THP-1 differentiation on cholesterol efflux. The degree of THP-1 differentiation was inversely associated with ATP binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) transporter-mediated cholesterol efflux. The differentiation-associated decrease in ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux occurred despite an increase in ABCA1 expression. In contrast, DSC1 expression decreased during the differentiation. DSC1 is a negative regulator of the ABCA1-mediated efflux pathway and a DSC1-targeting agent, docetaxel showed high potency and efficacy in promoting ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux in THP-1 macrophages. These data suggest that pharmacological targeting of DSC1 may be more effective than increasing ABCA1 expression in promoting macrophage cholesterol efflux. In summary, the comparison of THP-1 macrophage subtypes in varying degrees of differentiation provided new insights into cholesterol metabolism in macrophages and allowed us to identify a viable target DSC1 for the promotion of cholesterol efflux in differentiated macrophages. Docetaxel and other pharmacological strategies targeting DSC1 may hold significant potential for reducing atherogenic cholesterol deposition.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a major component in the transition to and perpetuation of neuropathic pain states. Spinal neuroinflammation involves activation of TLR4, localized to enlarged, cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts, designated here as inflammarafts. Conditional deletion of cholesterol transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1 in microglia, leading to inflammaraft formation, induced tactile allodynia in naive mice. The apoA-I binding protein (AIBP) facilitated cholesterol depletion from inflammarafts and reversed neuropathic pain in a model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in wild-type mice, but AIBP failed to reverse allodynia in mice with ABCA1/ABCG1–deficient microglia, suggesting a cholesterol-dependent mechanism. An AIBP mutant lacking the TLR4-binding domain did not bind microglia or reverse CIPN allodynia. The long-lasting therapeutic effect of a single AIBP dose in CIPN was associated with anti-inflammatory and cholesterol metabolism reprogramming and reduced accumulation of lipid droplets in microglia. These results suggest a cholesterol-driven mechanism of regulation of neuropathic pain by controlling the TLR4 inflammarafts and gene expression program in microglia and blocking the perpetuation of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Vascular diseases (VDs) including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), atherosclerosis (AS) and coronary arterial diseases (CADs) contribute to the higher morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) binding protein (AIBP) and Apo-AI negatively correlate with VDs. However, the mechanism by which AIBP and apo-AI regulate VDs still remains unexplained. Here, we provide an overview of the role of AIBP and apo-AI regulation of vascular diseases molecular mechanisms such as vascular energy homeostasis imbalance, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation in VDs. In addition, the role of AIBP and apo-AI in endothelial cells (ECs), vascular smooth muscle (VSMCs) and immune cells activation in the pathogenesis of VDs are explained. The in-depth understanding of AIBP and apo-AI function in the vascular system may lead to the discovery of VDs therapy.

Abstract
Emerging studies indicate that APOA-I binding protein (AIBP) is a secreted protein and functions extracellularly to promote cellular cholesterol efflux, thereby disrupting lipid rafts on the plasma membrane. AIBP is also present in the mitochondria and acts as an epimerase, facilitating the repair of dysfunctional hydrated NAD(P)H, known as NAD(P)H(X). Importantly, AIBP deficiency contributes to lethal neurometabolic disorder, reminiscent of the Leigh syndrome in humans. Whereas cyclic NADPHX production is proposed to be the underlying cause, we hypothesize that an unbiased metabolic profiling may: 1) reveal new clues for the lethality, e.g., changes of mitochondrial metabolites., and 2) identify metabolites associated with new AIBP functions. To this end, we performed unbiased and profound metabolic studies of plasma obtained from adult AIBP knockout mice and control littermates of both genders. Our systemic metabolite profiling, encompassing 9 super pathways, identified a total of 640 compounds. Our studies demonstrate a surprising sexual dimorphism of metabolites affected by AIBP deletion, with more statistically significant changes in the AIBP knockout female vs male when compared with the corresponding controls. AIBP knockout trends to reduce cholesterol but increase the bile acid precursor 7-HOCA in female but not male. Complex lipids, phospholipids, sphingomyelin and plasmalogens were reduced, while monoacylglycerol, fatty acids and the lipid soluble vitamins E and carotene diol were elevated in AIBP knockout female but not male. NAD metabolites were not significantly different in AIBP knockout vs control mice but differed for male vs female mice. Metabolites associated with glycolysis and the Krebs cycle were unchanged by AIBP knockout. Importantly, polyamine spermidine, critical for many cellular functions including cerebral cortex synapses, was reduced in male but not female AIBP knockout. This is the first report of a systemic metabolite profile of plasma samples from AIBP knockout mice, and provides a metabolic basis for future studies of AIBP regulation of cellular metabolism and the pathophysiological presentation of AIBP deficiency in patients.

Abstract
The liver X receptors (LXR) is a nuclear receptor that acts as a prominent regulator of lipid homeostasis and inflammatory response. Its therapeutic effectiveness against various diseases like Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis has been investigated in detail. Emerging pieces of evidence now reveal that LXR is also a crucial modulator of bone remodeling. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pharmacological actions of LXR on the skeleton and its role in osteoporosis are poorly understood. Therefore, in the current review, we highlight LXR and its actions through different molecular pathways modulating skeletal homeostasis. The studies described in this review propound that LXR in association with estrogen, PTH, PPARγ, RXR hedgehog, and canonical Wnt signaling regulates osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. It regulates RANKL-induced expression of c-Fos, NFATc1, and NF-κB involved in osteoclast differentiation. Additionally, several studies suggest suppression of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by synthetic LXR ligands. Given the significance of modulation of LXR in various physiological and pathological settings, our findings indicate that therapeutic targeting of LXR might potentially prevent or treat osteoporosis and improve bone quality.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Lipid metabolism disorder and inflammatory response are considered to be the major causes of atherosclerogenesis. Astragalin, the most important functional component of flavonoid obtained from persimmon leaves, has the hypolipidemic effects. However, it is unknown, how astragalin protects against atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of astragalin on cholesterol efflux and inflammatory response and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Our results showed that astragalin upregulated the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 (ABCA1 and ABCG1), promoted cholesterol efflux, and suppressed foam cell formation. Inhibition of the PPARγ/LXRα pathway abrogated the promotive effects of astragalin on both transporter expression and cholesterol efflux. In addition, treatment of astragalin markedly decreased the secretion of inflammatory factors, including interleukin 6, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin 1β. Mechanistically, astragalin upregulated ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression, which in turn reduced TLR4 surface levels and inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation. Consistently, astragalin reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in apoE-/- mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that astragalin protects against atherosclerosis by promoting ABCA1- and ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux and inhibiting proinflammatory mediator release.

Abstract
Myristica fragrans is a traditional herbal medicine and has been shown to alleviate the development of atherosclerosis. However, the anti-atherogenic mechanisms of M. fragrans are still to be addressed. In this study, we explored the effect of M. fragrans on lipid metabolism and inflammation and its mechanisms in THP-1-derived macrophages. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis results showed that M. fragrans promotes cholesterol efflux from THP-1-derived macrophages and reduces intracellular total cholesterol, cholesterol ester, and free cholesterol contents in a dose- and a time-dependent manner. Further study found that liver X receptor alpha (LXRα) antagonist GGPP significantly blocked the upregulation of ABCA1 expression with M. fragrans treatment. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay confirmed that GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) can bind to the LXRα promoter, and inhibition of GATA3 led to the downregulation of LXRα and ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 1 expression. Furthermore, M. fragrans reduced lipid accumulation, followed by decreasing tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β and increasing IL-10 produced by THP-1-derived macrophages. Therefore, M. fragrans is identified as a valuable therapeutic medicine for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have reported that Xiaoyaosan (XYS), Tiaogan-Liqi therapy, has a protective function in depressive disorder, and can regulate body weight and corticosterone (CORT) level. However, little is known about the effect of XYS in treating atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the influence XYS on macrophage foam cell formation and related mechanism. Methods Rat peritoneal macrophages (PMs) were separated and stimulated with CORT and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). The serum was obtained from rats treated with different doses of XYS and was added into the medium for macrophages. Then, the cell activity and lipid content of PMs were measured through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and oil red staining, respectively. The expressions of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1), and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) were detected. In addition, overexpression of GR and ABCA1 was performed and the effect on XYS treatment was subsequently assessed. Results The CCK-8 assay showed the serum increased cell activity of CORT-induced stress PMs in a XYS dose-dependent manner. Oil red staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that the serum decreased lipids of PMs. In the XYS treated groups, HSP90 protein was decreased and protein levels of ABCA1 and GR were increased in cytoplasm, while GR protein in nucleus was decreased. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay indicated GR might interact with HSP90 and be involved with the function of XYS. Furthermore, overexpression of GR attenuated the protective function of XYS on CORT-induced stress in PMs, while overexpression of ABCA1 enhanced that. Conclusions This study denoted that XYS could protect PMs from CORT-induced stress by regulating the interaction of GR and ABCA1, which might contribute to the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal of this manuscript is to summarize the current understanding of the secreted APOA1 binding protein (AIBP), encoded by NAXE, in angiogenesis, hematopoiesis, and inflammation. The studies on AIBP illustrate a critical connection between lipid metabolism and the aforementioned endothelial and immune cell biology. RECENT FINDINGS AIBP dictates both developmental processes such as angiogenesis and hematopoiesis, and pathological events such as inflammation, tumorigenesis, and atherosclerosis. Although cholesterol efflux dictates AIBP-mediated lipid raft disruption in many of the cell types, recent studies document cholesterol efflux-independent mechanism involving Cdc42-mediated cytoskeleton remodeling in macrophages. AIBP disrupts lipid rafts and impairs raft-associated VEGFR2 but facilitates non-raft-associated NOTCH1 signaling. Furthermore, AIBP can induce cholesterol biosynthesis gene SREBP2 activation, which in turn transactivates NOTCH1 and supports specification of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). In addition, AIBP also binds TLR4 and represses TLR4-mediated inflammation. In this review, we summarize the latest research on AIBP, focusing on its role in cholesterol metabolism and the attendant effects on lipid raft-regulated VEGFR2 and non-raft-associated NOTCH1 activation in angiogenesis, SREBP2-upregulated NOTCH1 signaling in hematopoiesis, and TLR4 signaling in inflammation and atherogenesis. We will discuss its potential therapeutic applications in angiogenesis and inflammation due to selective targeting of activated cells.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1) play a vital role in promoting cholesterol efflux. Although, the dysregulation of these transporters was attributed as one of the mechanisms of atherogenesis, what renders their dysfunction is not well explored. Previously, we have reported that thrombin without having any effect on ABCG1 levels depletes ABCA1 levels affecting cholesterol efflux. In this study, we explored the mechanisms underlying thrombin-induced depletion of ABCA1 levels both in macrophages and smooth muscle cells. Under normal physiological conditions, COP9 signalosome subunit 3 (CSN3) was found to exist in complex with ABCA1 and in the presence of proatherogenic stimulants such as thrombin, ABCA1 was phosphorylated and dissociated from CSN3, leading to its degradation. Forced expression of CSN3 inhibited thrombin-induced ABCA1 ubiquitination and degradation, restored cholesterol efflux and suppressed foam cell formation. In Western diet (WD)-fed ApoE-/- mice, CSN3 was also disassociated from ABCA1 otherwise remained as a complex in Chow diet (CD)-fed ApoE-/- mice. Interestingly, depletion of CSN3 levels in WD-fed ApoE-/- mice significantly lowered ABCA1 levels, inhibited cholesterol efflux and intensified foam cell formation exacerbating the lipid laden atherosclerotic plaque formation. Mechanistic studies have revealed the involvement of Par1-Gα12-Pyk2-Gab1-PKCθ signaling in triggering phosphorylation of ABCA1 and its disassociation from CSN3 curtailing cholesterol efflux and amplifying foam cell formation. In addition, although both CSN3 and ABCA1 were found to be colocalized in human non-lesion coronary arteries, their levels were decreased as well as dissociated from each other in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Together, these observations reveal for the first time an anti-atherogenic role of CSN3 and hence, designing therapeutic drugs protecting its interactions with ABCA1 could be beneficial against atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide in individuals 60 years of age and older. Despite its high prevalence, the factors contributing to glaucoma progression are currently not well characterized. Glia-driven neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction play critical roles in glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Here, we demonstrated that elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly decreased apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP; gene name Apoa1bp) in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), but resulted in upregulation of TLR4 and IL-1β expression in Müller glia endfeet. Apoa1bp-/- mice had impaired visual function and Müller glia characterized by upregulated TLR4 activity, impaired mitochondrial network and function, increased oxidative stress and induced inflammatory responses. We also found that AIBP deficiency compromised mitochondrial network and function in RGCs and exacerbated RGC vulnerability to elevated IOP. Administration of recombinant AIBP prevented RGC death and inhibited inflammatory responses and cytokine production in Müller glia in vivo. These findings indicate that AIBP protects RGCs against glia-driven neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucomatous neurodegeneration and suggest that recombinant AIBP may be a potential therapeutic agent for glaucoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AIBP (apolipoprotein A-I binding protein) is an effective and selective regulator of lipid rafts modulating many metabolic pathways originating from the rafts, including inflammation. The mechanism of action was suggested to involve stimulation by AIBP of cholesterol efflux, depleting rafts of cholesterol, which is essential for lipid raft integrity. Here we describe a different mechanism contributing to the regulation of lipid rafts by AIBP. Approach and Results: We demonstrate that modulation of rafts by AIBP may not exclusively depend on the rate of cholesterol efflux or presence of the key regulator of the efflux, ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A-I). AIBP interacted with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, which was associated with increased abundance and activation of Cdc42 and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. Cytoskeleton rearrangement was accompanied with reduction of the abundance of lipid rafts, without significant changes in the lipid composition of the rafts. The interaction of AIBP with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate was blocked by AIBP substrate, NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), and both NADPH and silencing of Cdc42 interfered with the ability of AIBP to regulate lipid rafts and cholesterol efflux. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that an underlying mechanism of regulation of lipid rafts by AIBP involves PIP-dependent rearrangement of the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is manifested as its involvement in the process of atherosclerosis, but the mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we explored the effect of IL-5 on lipid metabolism and its underlying mechanisms in THP-1-derived macrophages. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analysis results showed that IL-5 significantly up-regulated ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. [3H]-labeled cholesterol was used to assess the levels of cholesterol efflux, and the results showed that IL-5 increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux. A high-performance liquid chromatography assay indicated that cellular cholesterol content was decreased by IL-5 treatment in THP-1-derived macrophages. The selective inhibitor and small interfering RNA were used to block the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. The results of the qPCR and western blot analysis showed that IL-5 activated JAK2/STAT3 pathway to up-regulate ABCA1 expression. Meanwhile, IL-5 reduced the expression level of miR-211. Furthermore, we found that JAK2 is a target gene of miR-211 and miR-211 mimic inhibited the expression of JAK2 and reduced the levels of p-STAT3 and ABCA1 as revealed by luciferase reporter assay, qPCR and western blot analysis. In summary, these findings indicated that IL-5 promotes ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux through the miR-211/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in THP-1-derived macrophages.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is an essential regulator of intracellular cholesterol efflux. Secreted cholesterol binds to lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) in peripheral blood to constitute high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) complexes. ABCA1 protein on the surface of macrophages acts as a crucial controller in preventing cholesterol accumulation. Importantly, ABCA1 is unstable and easily degraded via a series of biochemical activities, including but not limited to calpain-mediated and ubiquitin-proteasome system-mediated processes. How accelerated ABCA1 degradation impacts disordered lipid metabolism in macrophages and foam cell formation is unclear. N-methyl d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors with high calcium permeability. Calcium influx via NMDARs activates downstream signaling pathways. Over-activation of NMDARs stimulated by NMDA contributes to dysfunctional lipid metabolism in macrophages and foam cell formation via promotion of calpain-mediated ABCA1 proteolysis. However, increased NMDAR activity does not affect liver X receptor expression or ABCA1 mRNA levels. Following NMDA receptor silencing or calpain inhibition, NMDA treatment did not reduce ABCA1 protein levels, nor caused lipid accumulation in macrophages. In addition, NMDAR over-activation activates NF-κB signaling to promote IL-1β and IL-6 macrophage marker expression. However, NMDAR silencing and calpain inhibition reduce inflammatory macrophage responses. In summary, our study suggests that NMDAR activation reduces surface ABCA1 protein, promotes lipid accumulation, and induces the production and secretion of many inflammatory mediators in macrophages, possibly through enhanced calpain-mediated ABCA1 protein degradation. Thus, the NMDAR receptor may be a novel pharmacologic target for atherosclerosis therapy.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are highly ordered regions of the plasma membrane that are enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids and play important roles in many cells. In hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), lipid rafts house receptors critical for normal hematopoiesis. Lipid rafts also can bind and sequester kinases that induce negative feedback pathways to limit proliferative cytokine receptor cycling back to the cell membrane. Modulation of lipid rafts occurs through an array of mechanisms, with optimal cholesterol efflux one of the major regulators. As such, cholesterol homeostasis also regulates hematopoiesis. Increased lipid raft content, which occurs in response to changes in cholesterol efflux in the membrane, can result in prolonged receptor occupancy in the cell membrane and enhanced signaling. In addition, certain diseases, like diabetes, may contribute to lipid raft formation and affect cholesterol retention in rafts. In this review, we explore the role of lipid raft-related mechanisms in hematopoiesis and CVD (specifically, atherosclerosis) and discuss how defective cholesterol efflux pathways in HSPCs contribute to expansion of lipid rafts, thereby promoting myelopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. We also discuss the utility of cholesterol acceptors in contributing to lipid raft regulation and disruption, and highlight the potential to manipulate these pathways for therapeutic gain in CVD as well as other disorders with aberrant hematopoiesis.jlr;61/5/667/F1F1f1.

Abstract
Lipid rafts regulate the initiation of cellular metabolic and signaling pathways by organizing the pathway components in ordered microdomains on the cell surface. Cellular responses regulated by lipid rafts range from physiological to pathological, and the success of a therapeutic approach targeting "pathological" lipid rafts depends on the ability of a remedial agent to recognize them and disrupt pathological lipid rafts without affecting normal raft-dependent cellular functions. In this article, concluding the Thematic Review Series on Biology of Lipid Rafts, we review current experimental therapies targeting pathological lipid rafts, including examples of inflammarafts and clusters of apoptotic signaling molecule-enriched rafts. The corrective approaches include regulation of cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism and membrane trafficking by using HDL and its mimetics, LXR agonists, ABCA1 overexpression, and cyclodextrins, as well as a more targeted intervention with apoA-I binding protein. Among others, we highlight the design of antagonists that target inflammatory receptors only in their activated form of homo- or heterodimers, when receptor dimerization occurs in pathological lipid rafts. Other therapies aim to promote raft-dependent physiological functions, such as augmenting caveolae-dependent tissue repair. The overview of this highly dynamic field will provide readers with a view on the emerging concept of targeting lipid rafts as a therapeutic strategy.jlr;61/5/687/F1F1f1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Atherosclerosis is characterized by an inflammatory disease linked to excessive lipid accumulation in the artery wall. The Notch signalling pathway has been shown to play a key regulatory role in the regulation of inflammation. Recently, in vitro and pre-clinical studies have shown that apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) regulates cholesterol metabolism (SREBP) and NOTCH signalling (haematopoiesis) and may be protective against atherosclerosis, but the evidence in humans is scarce. METHODS We evaluated the APOA1bp-SREBF-NOTCH axis in association with atherosclerosis in two well-characterized cohorts of morbidly obese patients (n = 78) within the FLORINASH study, including liver transcriptomics, 1H NMR plasma metabolomics, high-resolution ultrasonography evaluating carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), and haematological parameters. RESULTS The liver expression levels of APOA1bp were associated with lower cIMT and leukocyte counts, a better plasma lipid profile and higher circulating levels of metabolites associated with lower risk of atherosclerosis (glycine, histidine and asparagine). Conversely, liver SREBF and NOTCH mRNAs were positively associated with atherosclerosis, liver steatosis, an unfavourable lipid profile, higher leukocytes and increased levels of metabolites linked to inflammation and CVD such as branched-chain amino acids and glycoproteins. APOA1bp and NOTCH signalling also had a strong association, as revealed by the negative correlations among APOA1bp expression levels and those of all NOTCH receptors and jagged ligands. CONCLUSIONS We here provide the first evidence in human liver of the putative APOA1bp-SREBF-NOTCH axis signalling pathway and its association with atherosclerosis and inflammation.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) is a recently identified innate anti-inflammatory factor. Here, we show that AIBP inhibited HIV replication by targeting lipid rafts and reducing virus-cell fusion. Importantly, AIBP selectively reduced levels of rafts on cells stimulated by an inflammatory stimulus or treated with extracellular vesicles containing HIV-1 protein Nef without affecting rafts on nonactivated cells. Accordingly, fusion of monocyte-derived macrophages with HIV was sensitive to AIBP only in the presence of Nef. Silencing of endogenous AIBP significantly upregulated HIV-1 replication. Interestingly, HIV-1 replication in cells from donors with the HLA-B*35 genotype, associated with rapid progression of HIV disease, was not inhibited by AIBP. These results suggest that AIBP is an innate anti-HIV factor that targets virus-cell fusion. Apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) is a protein involved in regulation of lipid rafts and cholesterol efflux. AIBP has been suggested to function as a protective factor under several sets of pathological conditions associated with increased abundance of lipid rafts, such as atherosclerosis and acute lung injury. Here, we show that exogenously added AIBP reduced the abundance of lipid rafts and inhibited HIV replication in vitro as well as in HIV-infected humanized mice, whereas knockdown of endogenous AIBP increased HIV replication. Endogenous AIBP was much more abundant in activated T cells than in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), and exogenous AIBP was much less effective in T cells than in MDMs. AIBP inhibited virus-cell fusion, specifically targeting cells with lipid rafts mobilized by cell activation or Nef-containing exosomes. MDM-HIV fusion was sensitive to AIBP only in the presence of Nef provided by the virus or exosomes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from donors with the HLA-B*35 genotype, associated with rapid progression of HIV disease, bound less AIBP than cells from donors with other HLA genotypes and were not protected by AIBP from rapid HIV-1 replication. These results provide the first evidence for the role of Nef exosomes in regulating HIV-cell fusion by modifying lipid rafts and suggest that AIBP is an innate factor that restricts HIV replication by targeting lipid rafts.

Abstract
Combination antiretroviral therapy has dramatically changed the outcome of HIV infection, turning it from a death sentence to a manageable chronic disease. However, comorbidities accompanying HIV infection, such as metabolic and cardio-vascular diseases, as well as cognitive impairment, persist despite successful virus control by combination antiretroviral therapy and pose considerable challenges to clinical management of people living with HIV. These comorbidities involve a number of pathological processes affecting a variety of different tissues and cells, making it challenging to identify a common cause(s) that would link these different diseases to HIV infection. In this article, we will present evidence that impairment of cellular cholesterol metabolism may be a common factor driving pathogenesis of HIV-associated comorbidities. Potential implications for therapeutic approaches are discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cellular cholesterol content influences the structure and function of lipid rafts, plasma membrane microdomains essential for cell signaling and activation. HDL modulate cellular cholesterol efflux, thus limiting cholesterol accumulation and controlling immune cell activation. Aim of this review is to discuss the link between HDL and cellular cholesterol metabolism in immune cells and the therapeutic potential of targeting cholesterol removal from cell membranes. RECENT FINDINGS The inverse relationship between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease has been recently challenged by observations linking elevated levels of HDL-C with increased risk of all-cause mortality, infections and autoimmune diseases, paralleled by the failure of clinical trials with HDL-C-raising therapies. These findings suggest that improving HDL function might be more important than merely raising HDL-C levels. New approaches aimed at increasing the ability of HDL to remove cellular cholesterol have been assessed for their effect on immune cells, and the results have suggested that this could be a new effective approach. SUMMARY Cholesterol removal from plasma membrane by different means affects the activity of immune cells, suggesting that approaches aimed at increasing the ability of HDL to mobilize cholesterol from cells would represent the next step in HDL biology.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) reduces lipid raft abundance by augmenting the removal of excess cholesterol from the plasma membrane. Here, we report that AIBP prevents and reverses processes associated with neuroinflammatory-mediated spinal nociceptive processing. The mechanism involves AIBP binding to Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) and increased binding of AIBP to activated microglia, which mediates selective regulation of lipid rafts in inflammatory cells. AIBP-mediated lipid raft reductions downregulate LPS-induced TLR4 dimerization, inflammatory signaling, and expression of cytokines in microglia. In mice, intrathecal injections of AIBP reduce spinal myeloid cell lipid rafts, TLR4 dimerization, neuroinflammation, and glial activation. Intrathecal AIBP reverses established allodynia in mice in which pain states were induced by the chemotherapeutic cisplatin, intraplantar formalin, or intrathecal LPS, all of which are pro-nociceptive interventions known to be regulated by TLR4 signaling. These findings demonstrate a mechanism by which AIBP regulates neuroinflammation and suggest the therapeutic potential of AIBP in treating preexisting pain states.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2019; 1865:158535. [PMID: 31678621 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2019.158535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 10/21/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), a secreted protein, mainly regulates angiogenesis. Ang-1 has been shown to promote the development of atherosclerosis, whereas little is known about its effects on lipid metabolism and inflammation in this process. METHOD Ang-1 was transfected into ApoE-/- mice via lentiviral vector or incubated with THP-1 derived macrophages. Oil red O and HE staining were performed to measure the size of atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice. Immunofluorescence was employed to show the expression of target proteins in aorta. [3H] labeled cholesterol was performed to examine the efficiency of cholesterol efflux and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) both in vivo and vitro. Western blot and qPCR were used to quantify target proteins both in vivo and vitro. ELISA detected the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in mouse peritoneal macrophage. RESULTS Our data showed that Ang-1 augmented atherosclerotic plaques formation and inhibited cholesterol efflux. The binding of Ang-1 to Tie2 resulted in downregulation of LXRα, ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression via inhibiting the translocation of TFE3 into nucleus. In addition, Ang-1 decreased serum HDL-C levels and reduced reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in ApoE-/- mice. Furthermore, Ang-1 induced lipid accumulation followed by increasing TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β,and MCP-1 produced by MPMs, as well as inducing M1 phenotype macrophage marker iNOS and CD86 expression in aorta of ApoE-/- mice. CONCLUSION Ang-1 has an adverse effect on cholesterol efflux by decreasing the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 via Tie2/TFE3/LXRα pathway, thereby promoting inflammation and accelerating atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) is a member of the CXC chemokine family and mainly acts on cell chemotaxis. CXCL12 also elicits a proatherogenic role, but the molecular mechanisms have not been fully defined yet. We aimed to reveal if and how CXCL12 promoted atherosclerosis via regulating lipid metabolism. In vitro, our data showed that CXCL12 could reduce ABCA1 expression, and it mediated cholesterol efflux from THP-1-derived macrophages to apoA-I. Data from the luciferase reporter gene and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that transcription factor 21 (TCF21) stimulated the transcription of ABCA1 via binding to its promoter region, which was repressed by CXCL12. We found that CXCL12 increased the levels of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and the phosphorylation of β-catenin at the Thr120 position. Inactivation of GSK3β or β-catenin increased the expression of TCF21 and ABCA1. Further, knockdown or inhibition of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) blocked the effects of CXCL12 on TCF21 and ABCA1 expression and the phosphorylation of GSK3β and β-catenin. In vivo, the overexpression of CXCL12 in Apoe-/- mice via lentivirus enlarged the atherosclerotic lesion area and increased macrophage infiltration in atherosclerotic plaques. We further found that the overexpression of CXCL12 reduced the efficiency of reverse cholesterol transport and plasma HDL-C levels, decreased ABCA1 expression in the aorta and mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs), and suppressed cholesterol efflux from MPMs to apoA-I in Apoe-/- mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that CXCL12 interacts with CXCR4 and then activates the GSK-3β/β-cateninT120/TCF21 signaling pathway to inhibit ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux from macrophages and aggravate atherosclerosis. Targeting CXCL12 may be a novel and promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ABCA1 gene and susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 484 CHD patients and 488 controls were included in the study. Three SNPs rs2230806 (R219K), rs4149313 (M8831I), and rs9282541 (R230C) in ABCA1 gene were genotyped by SNaPshot. RESULTS Single nucleotide polymorphism rs1800977 was associated with susceptibility to CHD (AA vs GG, P = 0.013; A vs G, P = 0.029; recessive model, P = 0.020). Rs4149313 (AA vs GG, P = 0.010; recessive model, P = 0.011) and rs9282541 (T vs C, P = 0.029; dominant model, P = 0.039) were also risk factor for CHD. CONCLUSION This study suggests that three SNPs rs2230806, rs4149313, and rs9282541 in ABCA1 gene are significantly associated with susceptibility to CHD; further mechanism should be performed to be applied to drug research and development.

Abstract
Microglia are key players in brain function by maintaining brain homeostasis across lifetime. They participate to brain development and maturation through their ability to release neurotrophic factors, to remove immature synapses or unnecessary neural progenitors. They modulate neuronal activity in healthy adult brains and they also orchestrate the neuroinflammatory response in various pathophysiological contexts such as aging and neurodegenerative diseases. One of the main features of microglia is their high sensitivity to environmental factors, partly via the expression of a wide range of receptors. Recent data pinpoint that dietary fatty acids modulate microglia function. Both the quantity and the type of fatty acid are potent modulators of microglia physiology. The present review aims at dissecting the current knowledge on the direct and indirect mechanisms (focus on gut microbiota and hormones) through which fatty acids influence microglial physiology. We summarize main discoveries from in vitro and in vivo models on fatty acid-mediated microglial modulation. All these studies represent a promising field of research that could promote using nutrition as a novel therapeutic or preventive tool in diseases involving microglia dysfunctions.

Abstract
The constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome (CSN) is an evolutionarily conserved multi-protein complex, consisting of eight subunits termed CSN1-CSN8. The main biochemical function of the CSN is the control of protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome-system through regulation of cullin-RING E3-ligase (CRL) activity by deNEDDylation of cullins, but the CSN also serves as a docking platform for signaling proteins. The catalytic deNEDDylase (isopeptidase) activity of the complex is executed by CSN5, but only efficiently occurs in the three-dimensional architectural context of the complex. Due to its positioning in a central cellular pathway connected to cell responses such as cell-cycle, proliferation, and signaling, the CSN has been implicated in several human diseases, with most evidence available for a role in cancer. However, emerging evidence also suggests that the CSN is involved in inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. This is both due to its role in controlling CRLs, regulating components of key inflammatory pathways such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and complex-independent interactions of subunits such as CSN5 with inflammatory proteins. In this case, we summarize and discuss studies suggesting that the CSN may have a key role in cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and heart failure. We discuss the implicated molecular mechanisms ranging from inflammatory NF-κB signaling to proteotoxicity and necrosis, covering disease-relevant cell types such as myeloid and endothelial cells or cardiomyocytes. While the CSN is considered to be disease-exacerbating in most cancer entities, the cardiovascular studies suggest potent protective activities in the vasculature and heart. The underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic avenues will be critically discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent studies demonstrate an important role of the secreted apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) in regulation of cholesterol efflux and lipid rafts. The article discusses these findings in the context of angiogenesis and inflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Lipid rafts are cholesterol-rich and sphingomyelin-rich membrane domains in which many receptor complexes assemble upon activation. AIBP mediates selective cholesterol efflux, in part via binding to toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) in activated macrophages and microglia, and thus reverses lipid raft increases in activated cells. Recent articles report AIBP regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, Notch1 and TLR4 function. In zebrafish and mouse animal models, AIBP deficiency results in accelerated angiogenesis, increased inflammation and exacerbated atherosclerosis. Spinal delivery of recombinant AIBP reduces neuraxial inflammation and reverses persistent pain state in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy. Inhalation of recombinant AIBP reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice. These findings are discussed in the perspective of AIBP's proposed other function, as an NAD(P)H hydrate epimerase, evolving into a regulator of cholesterol trafficking and lipid rafts. SUMMARY Novel findings of AIBP regulatory circuitry affecting lipid rafts and related cellular processes may provide new therapeutic avenues for angiogenic and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) is a specific chemokine ligand and plays a significant role in cell chemotaxis. Upon binding to CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) or CXCR7, CXCL12 can activate different signaling cascades to regulate cell proliferation, migration, and metabolism. CXCL12 exerts a pro-atherogenic action by aggravating multiple pathogenesis of atherogenesis, including dyslipidemia, inflammation, neointima hyperplasia, angiogenesis, and insulin resistance. Serum CXCL12 levels are also markedly increased in patients with atherosclerosis-associated disease. The present review focuses on recent advances in CXCL12 research in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis together with its clinical values. This may provide insight into potential novel therapies for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Sortilin is closely associated with hyperlipidemia and the risk of atherosclerosis (AS). The role of sortilin and the underlying mechanism in peripheral macrophage are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of macrophage sortilin on ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression, ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux, and aortic AS. Macrophage sortilin expression was upregulated by oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDLs) in both concentration- and time-dependent manners. Its expression reached the peak level when cells were incubated with 50 μg/ml ox-LDL for 24 h. Overexpression of sortilin in macrophage reduced cholesterol efflux, leading to an increase in intracellular total cholesterol, free cholesterol, and cholesterol ester. Sortilin was found to bind with ABCA1 protein and suppress macrophage ABCA1 expression, resulting in a decrease in cholesterol efflux from macrophages. The inhibitory effect of sortilin in cholesterol efflux was partially reversed by treatment with chloroquine, a lysosomal inhibitor. On the contrary, the ABCA1 protein level and ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux is increased by sortilin short hairpin RNA transfection. The fecal and biliary cholesterol 3H-sterol from cholesterol-laden mouse peritoneal macrophage was reduced by sortilin overexpression through lentivirus vector (LV)-sortilin in low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice, which was prevented by co-treatment with chloroquine. Treatment with LV-sortilin reduced plasma high-density lipoprotein and increased plasma ox-LDL levels. Accordingly, aortic lipid deposition and plaque area were exacerbated, and ABCA1 expression was reduced in mice in response to infection with LV-sortilin alone. These effects of LV-sortilin were partially reversed by chloroquine. Sortilin enhances lysosomal degradation of ABCA1 protein and suppresses ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages, leading to foam cell formation and AS development.

Abstract
Background The roles played by cholesterol in cancer development and progression represent a popular field in the cancer community. High cholesterol levels are positively correlated with the risk of various types of cancer. APOA-I binding protein (AIBP) promotes the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (RCT) in cooperation with Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA-I) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, the combined effect of AIBP and APOA-I on intestinal tumor cells is still unclear. Methods Immunohistochemistry, western blot and qPCR were performed to investigate the expression of AIBP and APOA-I in intestinal tumor tissues and cell lines. The anti-tumor activity of AIBP and APOA-I was evaluated by overexpression or recombinant protein treatment. Cholesterol efflux and localization of lipid raft-related proteins were analyzed by a cholesterol efflux assay and lipid raft fraction assay, respectively. Results Here, we reported that both AIBP expression and APOA-I expression were associated with the degree of malignancy in intestinal tumors. Co-overexpression of AIBP and APOA-I more potently inhibited colon cancer cell-mediated tumor growth and metastasis compared to overexpression of each protein individually. Additionally, the recombinant fusion proteins of AIBP and APOA-I exhibited a significant therapeutic effect on tumor growth in Apcmin/+ mice as an inherited intestinal tumor model. The synergistic effect of the two proteins inhibited colon cancer cell migration, invasion and tumor-induced angiogenesis by promoting cholesterol efflux, reducing the membrane raft content, and eventually disrupting the proper localization of migration- and invasion-related proteins on the membrane raft. Moreover, cyclosporine A, a cholesterol efflux inhibitor, rescued the inhibitory effect induced by the combination of AIBP and APOA-I. Conclusions These results indicate that the combination of APOA-I and AIBP has an obvious anticancer effect on colorectal cancer by promoting cholesterol efflux.

Abstract
Herein, an effective membrane-to-intracellular cholesterol detection strategy was designed based on cascade reactions. A biochip array was firstly fabricated by consecutively immobilizing luminol modified gold nanoparticles (Au@luminol), soybean peroxidase (SBP) and cholesterol oxidase (ChoX) on the cellulose acetate (CA) membrane functionalized home-made micropore array. When cholesterol existed, it was oxidized by ChoX generating H2O2, which further triggered the CL reaction under the SBP catalysis, the CL signals were collected by a charge-coupled device (CCD). The proposed strategy exhibited a wide linear range from 0.12 μM to 1000 μM and relatively low detection limit (LOD) of 0.08 μM. Furthermore,it could be used to in-situ detect membrane cholesterol and intracelluar esterified cholesterol in HepG2 cells. After activated HepG2 cells were added to the modified biochip, membrane cholesterol was detected directly. Intracelluar esterified cholesterol was detected through the introduction of triton X-100 and cholesteryl esterase (ChoE). Additionally, the cholesterol content in cells was changed after stimulated by drugs, such as apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), pitavastatin or probucol. The correlation of the CL signal with the amount of cholesterol confirmed that our strategy was feasible to simultaneously detect membrane and intracellular cholesterol at different cellular states. The proposed strategy exhibited excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility in a simple, cheap way, which opened a new door for studying clinic treatment of the cholesterol-related diseases.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, the pathological basis of most cardiovascular disease (CVD), is closely associated with cholesterol accumulation in the arterial intima. Excessive cholesterol is removed by the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway, representing a major antiatherogenic mechanism. In addition to the RCT, other pathways are required for maintaining the whole-body cholesterol homeostasis. Thus, we propose a working model of integrated cholesterol transport, termed the cholesterol transport system (CTS), to describe body cholesterol metabolism. The novel model not only involves the classical view of RCT but also contains other steps, such as cholesterol absorption in the small intestine, low-density lipoprotein uptake by the liver, and transintestinal cholesterol excretion. Extensive studies have shown that dysfunctional CTS is one of the major causes for hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. Currently, several drugs are available to improve the CTS efficiently. There are also several therapeutic approaches that have entered into clinical trials and shown considerable promise for decreasing the risk of CVD. In recent years, a variety of novel findings reveal the molecular mechanisms for the CTS and its role in the development of atherosclerosis, thereby providing novel insights into the understanding of whole-body cholesterol transport and metabolism. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in this area with an emphasis on the therapeutic potential of targeting the CTS in CVD patients.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by an excessive pulmonary inflammatory response. Removal of excess cholesterol from the plasma membrane of inflammatory cells helps reduce their activation. The secreted apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP) has been shown to augment cholesterol efflux from endothelial cells to the plasma lipoprotein HDL. Here, we find that AIBP was expressed in inflammatory cells in the human lung and was secreted into the bronchoalveolar space in mice subjected to inhalation of LPS. AIBP bound surfactant protein B and increased cholesterol efflux from alveolar macrophages to calfactant, a therapeutic surfactant formulation. In vitro, AIBP in the presence of surfactant reduced LPS-induced p65, ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation, and IL-6 secretion by alveolar macrophages. In vivo, inhalation of AIBP significantly reduced LPS-induced airspace neutrophilia, alveolar capillary leak, and secretion of IL-6. These results suggest that, similar to HDL in plasma, surfactant serves as a cholesterol acceptor in the lung. Furthermore, lung injury increases pulmonary AIBP expression, which likely serves to promote cholesterol efflux to surfactant and reduce inflammation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a dyslipidemia disease characterized by foam cell formation driven by the accumulation of lipids. Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is known to suppress the development of atherosclerosis via its anti-inflammatory properties, but it is not yet known whether vaspin affects cholesterol efflux in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Here, we investigated the effects of vaspin on ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux, and further explored the underlying mechanism. We found that vaspin decreased miR-33a levels, which in turn increased ABCA1 expression and cholesteorl efflux. We also found that inhibition of NF-κB reduced miR-33a expression and vaspin suppressed LPS-mediated NF-κB phosphorylation. Our findings suggest that vaspin is not only a regular of inflammasion but also a promoter of cholesterol efflux.
