[PMID: 39278777 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2024.06.003] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Past research has shown an inverse correlation between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and coronary heart disease (CHD), while recent studies have shown that extremely high or low HDL levels increase the risk of cardiovascular death. OBJECTIVE To explore the relationships between HDL subtypes and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS This was a single-center cross-sectional study. Ultimately, we included 1,200 adult participants with AMI hospitalized from 2017 to 2023. Patients were classified into mild and moderate-severe groups according to their Gensini score. Restricted cubic spline and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the associations between HDL subclasses and the severity of coronary stenosis. RESULTS The adjusted odds ratios (ORs), 95 % confidence intervals (CIs), and p values for HDL subclasses in the multivariate logistic model (adjusted for age, gender, hypertension status, diabetes status, stroke status, and kidney disease status) were as follows: HDL-2b: 0.97 (0.95-1.00, p= 0.018) and HDL-3: 0.98 (0.97-0.99, p= 0.008). Subgroup analysis revealed that HDL-3 exhibited a statistically significant impact on the severity of coronary stenosis among individuals aged <75 years of age and among men, and the influence of HDL-2b on the severity of coronary stenosis was statistically significant only in individuals aged ≥75 years. CONCLUSION The relationship between reduced levels of HDL-2b and HDL-3 and the risk of coronary stenosis exhibited a linear pattern and was significantly modified by age. Subgroup analysis identified specific populations that warrant attention regarding HDL-2b and HDL-3.

Role of Lipid Profile and Its Relative Ratios (Cholesterol/HDL-C, Triglyceride/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, WBC/HDL-C, and FBG/HDL-C) on Admission Predicts In-Hospital Mortality COVID-19. J Lipids 2023; 2023:6329873. [PMID: 36923284 PMCID: PMC10010876 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6329873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Lipid profile and its related ratios such as total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), TG/HDL-C ratio, TC/HDL-C ratio, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, white blood cell (WBC)/HDL-C ratio, and fasting blood glucose (FBG)/HDL-C ratio are valuable indicators that have been studied in various disorders to predict mortality. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of lipid profile ratios in predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods At the beginning of hospitalization, laboratory tests were taken from all patients (n = 300). The ability of lipid profile ratios to determine the COVID-19 severity was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC). In addition, survival probability was determined with the average of Kaplan-Meier curves, so that the end point was death. Results In deceased patients, TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C parameters were significantly lower than those of surviving patients, while WBC/HDL-C and FBG/HDL-C were significantly higher. TC (HR = 3.178, 95%CI = 1.064 to 9.491, P < 0.05), TG (HR = 3.276, 95%CI = 1.111 to 9.655, P < 0.05), LDL-C (HR = 3.207, 95%CI = 1.104 to 9.316, P < 0.05), and HDL-C (HR = 3.690, 95%CI = 1.290 to 10.554, P < 0.05), as well as TC/HDL-C (HR = 3.860, 95%CI = 1.289 to 11.558, P < 0.05), TG/HDL-C (HR = 3.860, 95%CI = 1.289 to 11.558, P < 0.05), LDL-C/HDL-C (HR = 3.915, 95%CI = 1.305 to 11.739, P < 0.05), WBC/HDL-C (HR = 3.232, 95%CI = 1.176 to 8.885, P < 0.05), and FBG/HDL-C ratios (HR = 4.474, 95%CI = 1.567 to 12.777, P < 0.01), were detectably related to survival. The multivariate Cox regression models showed that only FBG/HDL-C ratio (HR = 5.477, 95%CI = 1.488 to 20.153, P < 0.01) was significantly related to survival. Conclusion The results suggested that FBG/HDL-C ratio in hospital-admitted COVID-19 patients was a reliable predictor of mortality.

Abstract
Sparse data assessed the association of apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with inflammation. We investigated this association in a hospital-based cross-sectional pilot study that included 7296 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In multivariate analysis, negative associations of ApoA1 and HDL-C with C-reactive protein (CRP), high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were shown. The corresponding CRP, hsCRP, and TNF-α values were 5.28 (vs 11.70 mg/L), 4.50 (vs 11.50 mg/L), and 7.68 (vs 10.90 pg/mL) for ApoA1, and 7.13 (vs 10.60 mg/L), 6.27 (vs 9.19 mg/L), and 8.11 (vs 11.86 pg/mL) for HDL-C in the fourth quartiles compared with the first quartiles. ApoA1/HDL-C ratio was inversely associated with hsCRP and interleukin-6 (IL-6). No significant associations of ApoA1 and HDL-C with IL-6 and IL-8, and of ApoA1/HDL-C ratio with CRP, IL-8, and TNF-α were observed. In path analyses, there was no evidence of mediating effects of body mass index on the "ApoA1 and HDL-C-inflammation" relationship. Generally, our study of CAD patients identified graded and inverse associations of ApoA1, HDL-C, and ApoA1/HDL-C ratio with inflammatory marker (CRP, hsCRP, IL-6, IL-8, or TNF-α) levels.

Effects of the Treatment with Flavonoids on Metabolic Syndrome Components in Humans: A Systematic Review Focusing on Mechanisms of Action. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158344.

Abstract
Diets high in bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, have been used to mitigate metabolic syndrome (MetS). Polyphenols are a large group of naturally occurring bioactive compounds, classified into two main classes: non-flavonoids and flavonoids. Flavonoids are distributed in foods, such as fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine, and cocoa. Studies have already demonstrated the benefits of flavonoids on the cardiovascular and nervous systems, as well as cancer cells. The present review summarizes the results of clinical studies that evaluated the effects of flavonoids on the components of the MetS and associated complications when offered as supplements over the long term. The results show that flavonoids can significantly modulate several metabolic parameters, such as lipid profile, blood pressure, and blood glucose. Only theaflavin and catechin were unable to affect metabolic parameters. Moreover, only body weight and body mass index were unaltered. Thus, the evidence presented in this systematic review offers bases in support of a flavonoid supplementation, held for at least 3 weeks, as a strategy to improve several metabolic parameters and, consequently, reduce the risk of diseases associated with MetS. This fact becomes stronger due to the rare side effects reported with flavonoids.

Abstract
This case-control study aimed to assess pathologic alteration in the serum levels of the atherogenic index, cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HbA1c, and glucose in 158 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in Erbil international hospital, Erbil, Iraq, between January and May 2020, in the early stage of infection. The patients were confirmed for SARS-CoV-2 on admission. The laboratory test results were compared between this group and a group of healthy individuals (n=158). A statistically significant difference was found between the studied factors in healthy controls and COVID-19 patients, except for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (P=0.13). In the case of COVID-19 patients, total levels of cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were significantly lower than controls (P<0.003). Triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, atherogenic index, and total cholesterol to HDL ratio were found to be significantly higher in COVID-19 patients, compared to controls (P<0.005). Atherogenic index were found to be positively correlated with triglyceride (r=0.88, P=0.00), HbA1C (r=0.6, P=0.05), and glucose index (r= 0.62, P= 0.05), and the ratio of cholesterol to HDL (r=0.64, P=0.04). In contrast, no correlation was found between atherogenic index and cholesterol to HDL ratio in controls. The results of the current study indicated that risk factors for the cardiovascular disease increased in patients with COVID-19 infection, which included atherogenic index, cholesterol to HDL ratio, as well as the association between atherogenic index, and all were organized in one cluster. Therefore, lipids can perform a vital physiological function in patients infected with COVID-19.

Abstract
The phenomenon to heal neointimal rupture or thrombus after coronary stenting occurs as well as in native coronary artery. We investigated clinical characteristics and neointimal vulnerability of healed neointima by optical coherence tomography (OCT). We treated 67 lesions by percutaneous coronary intervention for in-stent restenosis (ISR) and conducted OCT examinations. Healed neointima was defined as neointima having one or more layers with different optical densities and a clear demarcation from underlying components. ISR with healed neointima was found in 49% (33/67) of the lesions. Compared to ISR without healed neointima, ISR with healed neointima showed significantly longer stent age (102 ± 72 vs. 31 ± 39 months, P < 0.001), lower frequency of dual antiplatelet therapy [42% (14/33) vs. 74% (25/34), P = 0.017], lower use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ACE-I or ARB) [61% (20/33) vs. 91% (31/34), P = 0.028], lower usage of second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) [36% (12/33) vs. 63% (22/34), P = 0.029], higher usage of thick-strut stents [42% (14/33) vs. 15% (5/34), P = 0.012], larger neointimal area (6.8 ± 2.6 vs. 5.2 ± 1.8 mm2, P = 0.005), higher incidence of thin-cap fibroatheroma [58% (19/33) vs. 21% (7/34), P = 0.002], neointimal rupture [45% (15/33) vs. 9% (3/34), P = 0.001], and lower incidence of stent underexpansion [15% (5/33) vs. 44% (15/34), P = 0.010]. In conclusions, ISR with healed neointima was associated with neointimal vulnerability, stent age, stent type, stent strut thickness, stent expansion, antiplatelet therapy, and use of ACE-I or ARB.

Abstract
AIMS Non-obese non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) phenotype has sparked interest and frequently occurred in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Information on associations between lipid parameters and NAFLD in non-obese patients with diabetes has been lacking. We aimed to investigate the relationships between lipid parameters and NAFLD according to obesity status and metabolic goal achievement in T2DM patients. METHODS A total of 1,913 T2DM patients who were hospitalized between June 2018 and May 2021 were cross-sectionally assessed. We used logistic regression models to estimate the associations of lipid parameters with NAFLD risk according to obesity and metabolic goal achievement status. RESULTS Higher triglycerides, non-HDL-cholesterol, and all lipid ratios including (total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol), and lower HDL-cholesterol were associated with NAFLD risk in both non-obese and obese patients. The associations were stronger in non-obese patients than in obese patients. Further, the inverse associations of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol with NAFLD risk were only detected in non-obese patients. Triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and all lipid ratios studied were significantly associated with NAFLD risk, irrespective of whether the patients achieved their HbA1c, blood pressure, and LDL-cholesterol goal. The presence of poor lipids and lipid ratios were more strongly associated with NAFLD in patients who attained the HbA1c, blood pressure, and/or LDL-cholesterol goal than in those who did not achieve the goal attainment. CONCLUSIONS The associations of lipids and lipid ratios with NAFLD risk were stronger in T2DM patients who were non-obese and achieved the HbA1c, blood pressure, and/or LDL-cholesterol goal attainment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the effectiveness of diabetic yoga protocol (DYP) against management of cardiovascular risk profile in a high-risk community for diabetes, from Chandigarh, India. METHODS The study was a randomized controlled trial, conducted as a sub study of the Pan India trial Niyantrita Madhumeha Bharath (NMB). The cohort was identified through the Indian Diabetes Risk Scoring (IDRS) (≥ 60) and a total of 184 individuals were randomized into intervention (n = 91) and control groups (n = 93). The DYP group underwent the specific DYP training whereas the control group followed their daily regimen. The study outcomes included changes in glycemic and lipid profile. Analysis was done under intent-to-treat principle. RESULTS The 3 months DYP practice showed diverse results showing glycemic and lipid profile of the high risk individuals. Three months of DYP intervention was found to significantly reduce the levels of post-prandial glucose levels (p = 0.035) and LDL-c levels (p = 0.014) and waist circumference (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION The findings indicate that the DYP intervention could improve the metabolic status of the high-diabetes-risk individuals with respect to their glucose tolerance and lipid levels, partially explained by the reduction in abdominal obesity. The study highlights the potential role of yoga intervention in real time improvement of cardiovascular profile in a high diabetes risk cohort. TRIAL REGISTRATION CTRI, CTRI/2018/03/012804.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with increasing incidence. A cornerstone of cardiovascular disease prevention is lifestyle modification through dietary changes to influence various risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes. The effects of diet on cardiovascular health are complex. Some dietary components and metabolites directly affect the composition and structure of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and increase anti-inflammatory and vasoprotective properties. HDLs are composed of distinct subpopulations of particles of varying size and composition that have several dynamic and context-dependent functions. The identification of potential dietary components that improve HDL functionality is currently an important research goal. One of the best-studied diets for cardiovascular health is the Mediterranean diet, consisting of fish, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes/nuts, and moderate consumption of alcohol, most commonly red wine. The Mediterranean diet, especially when supplemented with extra virgin olive oil rich in phenolic compounds, has been shown to markedly improve metrics of HDL functionality and reduce the burden, or even prevent the development of cardiovascular disease. Particularly, the phenolic compounds of extra virgin olive oil seem to exert the significant positive effects on HDL function. Moreover, supplementation of anthocyanins as well as antioxidants such as lycopene or the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid improve parameters of HDL function. In this review, we aim to highlight recent discoveries on beneficial dietary patterns as well as nutritional components and their effects on cardiovascular health, focusing on HDL function.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a systematic degenerative disease related to the buildup of plaques in human vessels, remains the major cause of morbidity in the field of cardiovascular health problems, which are the number one cause of death globally. Novel atheroprotective HDL-mimicking chemically modified carbon-coated iron nanoparticles (Fe@C NPs) were produced by gas-phase synthesis and modified with organic functional groups of a lipophilic nature. Modified and non-modified Fe@C NPs, immobilized with polycaprolactone on stainless steel, showed high cytocompatibility in human endothelial cell culture. Furthermore, after ex vivo treatment of native atherosclerotic plaques obtained during open carotid endarterectomy surgery, Fe@C NPs penetrated the inner structures and caused structural changes of atherosclerotic plaques, depending on the period of implantation in Wistar rats, serving as a natural bioreactor. The high biocompatibility of the Fe@C NPs shows great potential in the treatment of atherosclerosis disease as an active substance of stent coatings to prevent restenosis and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Aim: Improving cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been regarded as a novel target for preventing cardiovascular disease. HDL reportedly has antioxidant properties which may contribute to its functions. We investigated changes in CEC with intake of the Japan Diet (JD) recommended by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society and the relationship of these changes to serum antioxidant concentrations.
Methods: A randomized parallel controlled clinical trial on JD intake was performed in Japanese patients with dyslipidemia. Ninety-eight participants were randomly divided into the JD (n=49) or the partial JD (PJD) (n=49) group. Nutrition education, based on each diet at baseline and at 3 months, was provided and the participants were followed up for 6 months.
Results: Mean CEC was 1.05 in total and correlated positively with HDL-cholesterol (p<0.001) at baseline. CEC did not change while oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) was decreased in both groups (p<0.001). Although serum total carotenoid increased in both groups, serum α-tocopherol decreased in the JD group as compared to the PJD group (p<0.05). CEC correlated positively with HDL ORAC at baseline (p=0.021) and with serum total carotenoid at 3 and 6 months (p=0.005, 0.035). Changes in CEC correlated positively with changes in HDL ORAC at 3 months and serum total tocopherol at 3 and 6 months (p<0.001).
Conclusion: CEC was not changed by JD education in Japanese patients with dyslipidemia who already had normal CEC at baseline. CEC was suggested to be positively associated with serum α- and γ-tocopherol and HDL ORAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have revealed the relationship between lipid expression and increased cardiovascular risk in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Nevertheless, few investigations have focused on the risk stratification of STEMI patients using machine learning algorithms. METHODS A total of 1355 STEMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled in this study during 2015-2018. Unsupervised machine learning (consensus clustering) was applied to the present cohort to classify patients into different lipid expression phenogroups, without the guidance of clinical outcomes. Kaplan-Meier curves were implemented to show prognosis during a 904-day median follow-up (interquartile range: 587-1316). In the adjusted Cox model, the association of cluster membership with all adverse events including all-cause mortality, all-cause rehospitalization, and cardiac rehospitalization was evaluated. RESULTS All patients were classified into three phenogroups, 1, 2, and 3. Patients in phenogroup 1 with the highest Lp(a) and the lowest HDL-C and apoA1 were recognized as the statin-modified cardiovascular risk group. Patients in phenogroup 2 had the highest HDL-C and apoA1 and the lowest TG, TC, LDL-C and apoB. Conversely, patients in phenogroup 3 had the highest TG, TC, LDL-C and apoB and the lowest Lp(a). Additionally, phenogroup 1 had the worst prognosis. Furthermore, a multivariate Cox analysis revealed that patients in phenogroup 1 were at significantly higher risk for all adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION Machine learning-based cluster analysis indicated that STEMI patients with increased concentrations of Lp(a) and decreased concentrations of HDL-C and apoA1 are likely to have adverse clinical outcomes due to statin-modified cardiovascular risks.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide and has been characterized as a chronic immunoinflammatory, fibroproliferative disease fueled by lipids. Great advances have been made in elucidating the complex mechanistic interactions among risk factors associated with CHD, yielding abundant success towards preventive measures and the development of pharmaceuticals to prevent and treat CHD via attenuation of lipoprotein-mediated risk. However, significant residual risk remains. Several potentially modifiable CHD risk factors ostensibly contributing to this residual risk have since come to the fore, including systemic inflammation, diabetes mellitus, high-density lipoprotein, plasma triglycerides (TG) and remnant lipoproteins (RLP), lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), and vascular endothelial dysfunction (ED). Herein, we summarize the body of evidence implicating each of these risk factors in residual CHD risk.

Abstract
Beta cell failure is one of the most important features of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). High‐density lipoprotein (HDL) has been proposed to improve β‐cell function. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) in the impact of HDL treatment on insulin secretion by pancreatic β‐cells and to determine its mechanisms. Primary cultures of β‐cells isolated from rat were treated with or without HDL in the presence or absence of S1P pathway inhibitors and insulin secretion response was analyzed. The S1P content of HDL (HDL‐S1P) isolated from T2DM patients was analyzed and correlated to the HDL‐induced insulin secretion. The expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of the insulin was also evaluated. HDL as well as S1P treatment enhanced glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In HDL isolated from T2DM patients, while HDL‐S1P was strongly correlated to its pro‐secretory capacity (r = 0.633, p = 0.005), HDL‐cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI levels were not. HDL‐induced GSIS was blocked by the S1P1/3 antagonist but not by the S1P2 antagonist, and was also accompanied by increased intracellular S1P in β‐cells. We also observed that HDL improved GSIS without significant changes in expression levels of insulin biosynthesis genes. Our present study highlights the importance HDL‐S1P in GSIS in T2DM patients and demonstrates that HDL induces insulin secretion by a process involving both intra‐ and extra‐cellular sources of S1P independently of an effect on insulin biosynthesis genes.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), are promising materials for the delivery of hydrophilic drugs via the pulmonary route. The inhaled nanoparticle drug carriers primarily deposit in lung alveoli and interact with the alveolar surface known as lung surfactants. Therefore, it is vital to understand the interactions of nanocarriers with the surfactant layer. To understand the interactions at the molecular level, here we simulated model lung surfactant monolayers with phospholipid (PL)-wrapped AuNPs at the vacuum-water interface using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The PL-wrapped AuNPs quickly adsorbed into the surfactant layer, altered the structural properties of the monolayer, and at high concentrations initiated the compressed monolayer to collapse/buckle. Among the surfactant monolayer lipid components, cholesterol adsorbed to the AuNPs preferentially over PL species. The position of the adsorbed PL-AuNPs within the monolayer, and subsequent monolayer perturbation, vary depending on the monolayer phase, monolayer composition, and species of PL used as a ligand. Information provided by these molecular dynamic simulations helps to rationalize why some colloidal nanoparticles work better as nanocarriers than others and aid the design of new ones, to avoid biological toxicity and improve efficacy for pulmonary drug delivery.

Abstract
Background Anacetrapib is the only cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor proven to reduce coronary heart disease (CHD). However, its effects on reverse cholesterol transport have not been fully elucidated. Macrophage cholesterol efflux (CEC), the initial step of reverse cholesterol transport, is inversely associated with CHD and may be affected by sex as well as haptoglobin copy number variants among patients with diabetes mellitus. We investigated the effect of anacetrapib on CEC and whether this effect is modified by sex, diabetes mellitus, and haptoglobin polymorphism. Methods and Results A total of 574 participants with CHD were included from the DEFINE (Determining the Efficacy and Tolerability of CETP Inhibition With Anacetrapib) trial. CEC was measured at baseline and 24‐week follow‐up using J774 macrophages, boron dipyrromethene difluoride–labeled cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B–depleted plasma. Haptoglobin copy number variant was determined using an ELISA assay. Anacetrapib increased CEC, adjusted for baseline CEC, risk factors, and changes in lipids/apolipoproteins (standard β, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.05–0.41). This CEC‐raising effect was seen only in men (P interaction=0.002); no effect modification was seen by diabetes mellitus status. Among patients with diabetes mellitus, anacetrapib increased CEC in those with the normal 1‐1 haptoglobin genotype (standard β, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.16–0.69) but not the dysfunctional 2‐1/2‐2 genotypes (P interaction=0.02). Conclusions Among patients with CHD, anacetrapib at a dose linked to improved CHD outcomes significantly increased CEC independent of changes in high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol or other lipids, with effect modification by sex and a novel pharmacogenomic interaction by haptoglobin genotype, suggesting a putative mechanism for reduced risk requiring validation.

Abstract
A large amount of evidence suggests that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has anti-atherosclerotic properties. HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) has also been widely used as a marker of cardiovascular disease. Recently, it was reported that plasma HDL-C levels are inversely correlated with cancer risk. However, the relationship between HDL and cancer pathophysiology remains unknown. Here, we sought to investigate the effect of HDL on cancer progression. First, we focused on fibronectin-an essential extracellular matrix glycoprotein-as an HDL-associated protein and found that only 7.4% of subjects in this study had fibronectin in HDL isolated from their plasma. The fibronectin-containing HDL (FN-HDL) increased the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in HeLa cells compared to HDL without fibronectin, further inducing the phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. Second, we found that fibronectin-treated HDL activated the phosphorylation of FAK, and its upstream effector blocked the phosphorylation induced by FN-HDL. Finally, we demonstrated that FN-HDL promoted cancer cell proliferation and adhesion compared to HDL without fibronectin. Our study showed the possible mechanism by which FN-HDL enhanced cancer cell proliferation and adhesion via the FAK signaling pathway. Further investigation of the roles of HDL components in tumorigenesis might provide novel insight into cancer pathophysiology.

Abstract
The measurement of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is highly utilized by clinicians to help predict cardiovascular risk, but this measure is not causally associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events. The use of Mendelian randomization studies has led to a change in investigative attention from the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration to its physiological functions. High-density lipoprotein plays key roles in important pathways related to the development of atherosclerotic disease including reverse cholesterol transport, oxidation and inflammation, and endothelial function as well as in other physiological systems including immune system modulation, cellular apoptosis, and endothelial progenitor cell homeostasis. The identification of dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein may better predict future cardiovascular events compared to numerical high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and aid in enhanced clinical risk stratification. The emergence of discrete physiological measurements of high-density lipoprotein, such as cholesterol efflux capacity and the high-density lipoprotein inflammatory index, may provide an opportunity for clinical application in the future. However, the validity of these measurements and their commercial availability remain barriers to a realistic transition to clinical medicine.

Abstract
Background We evaluated the importance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality for target-lesion revascularization in patients treated with coronary stents using a rapid cell-free assay system to evaluate the functional capacity of HDL to accept additional cholesterol (cholesterol-uptake capacity; CUC). Methods and Results From an optical coherence tomography (OCT) registry of patients treated with coronary stents, 207 patients were enrolled and their HDL was functionally evaluated by measuring the CUC. Follow-up OCT was performed (median duration, 24.5 months after stenting) to evaluate the presence of neoatherosclerosis. Clinical follow-up was performed to assess target-lesion revascularization for a median duration of 42.3 months after stent implantation. Neoatherosclerosis was identified in 37 patients (17.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a decreased CUC was independently associated with neoatherosclerosis (odds ratio, 0.799; P<0.001). The CUC showed a significant inverse correlation with incidence of target-lesion revascularization (odds ratio, 0.887; P=0.003) and with lipid accumulation inside stents, suggesting that neoatherosclerosis contributes to the association between CUC and target-lesion revascularization. Conclusions Impaired HDL functionality, detected as decreased CUC, might lead to future stent failure by provoking atherogenic changes of the neointima within stents. Both quantitative and qualitative assessments of HDL might enable the improved prediction of clinical outcomes after stent implantation.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been identified as a powerful independent negative predictor of cardiovascular disease. The beneficial effect of HDL is largely attributable to its key role in reverse cholesterol transport, whereby excess cholesterol in the peripheral tissues is transported to the liver, reducing the atherosclerotic burden. However, mounting evidence indicates that HDL also has pleiotropic properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and vasodilatory properties, which may contribute in reducing the incidence of heart failure. Actually, previous data from clinical and experimental studies have suggested that HDL exerts cardioprotective effects irrespective of the presence/absence of coronary artery disease. This review summarizes the currently available evidence regarding beneficial effects of HDL on the heart beyond its anti-atherogenic property. Understanding the mechanisms of cardiac protection by HDL will provide new insight into the underlying mechanism and therapeutic strategy for heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Measures of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) function are associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the effects of regular exercise on these measures is largely unknown. Thus, we examined the effects of different doses of exercise on 3 measures of HDL function in 2 randomized clinical exercise trials. APPROACH AND RESULTS Radiolabeled and boron dipyrromethene difluoride-labeled cholesterol efflux capacity and HDL-apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I) exchange were assessed before and after 6 months of exercise training in 2 cohorts: STRRIDE-PD (Studies of Targeted Risk Reduction Interventions through Defined Exercise, in individuals with Pre-Diabetes; n=106) and E-MECHANIC (Examination of Mechanisms of exercise-induced weight compensation; n=90). STRRIDE-PD participants completed 1 of 4 exercise interventions differing in amount and intensity. E-MECHANIC participants were randomized into 1 of 2 exercise groups (8 or 20 kcal/kg per week) or a control group. HDL-C significantly increased in the high-amount/vigorous-intensity group (3±5 mg/dL; P=0.02) of STRRIDE-PD, whereas no changes in HDL-C were observed in E-MECHANIC. In STRRIDE-PD, global radiolabeled efflux capacity significantly increased 6.2% (SEM, 0.06) in the high-amount/vigorous-intensity group compared with all other STRRIDE-PD groups (range, -2.4 to -8.4%; SEM, 0.06). In E-MECHANIC, non-ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) radiolabeled efflux significantly increased 5.7% (95% CI, 1.2-10.2%) in the 20 kcal/kg per week group compared with the control group, with no change in the 8 kcal/kg per week group (2.6%; 95% CI, -1.4 to 6.7%). This association was attenuated when adjusting for change in HDL-C. Exercise training did not affect BODIPY-labeled cholesterol efflux capacity or HDL-apoA-I exchange in either study. CONCLUSIONS Regular prolonged vigorous exercise improves some but not all measures of HDL function. Future studies are warranted to investigate whether the effects of exercise on cardiovascular disease are mediated in part by improving HDL function.

Effects of Astaxanthin on Reverse Cholesterol Transport and Atherosclerosis in Mice. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:4625932.

Abstract
High plasma level of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) has been consistently associated with a decreased risk of atherosclerosis (AS); thus, HDL-C is considered to be an antiatherogenic lipoprotein. The development of novel therapies to enhance the atheroprotective properties of HDL may have the possibility of further reducing the residual AS risk. Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is believed to be a primary atheroprotective activity of HDL, which has been shown to promote the efflux of excess cholesterol from macrophage-derived foam cells via ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1), and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) and then transport it back to the liver for excretion into bile and eventually into the feces. In the current study, we investigated the effects of astaxanthin on RCT and AS progression in mice. The results showed that short- and long-term supplementation of astaxanthin promote RCT in C57BL/6J and ApoE−/− mice, respectively. Moreover, astaxanthin can relieve the plaque area of the aortic sinus and aortic cholesterol in mice. These findings suggest that astaxanthin is beneficial for boosting RCT and preventing the development of AS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Unregulated uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages to form foam cells is the hallmark for atherosclerosis. The paraoxonase (PON) family of enzymes plays a critical role in attenuating atherosclerotic lesion formation by hydrolyzing lipid peroxides (LOOHs) and preventing the oxidation of LDL particles and by enhancing HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux. Findings in recent years suggest novel mechanisms by which PON isoforms interact with macrophages to regulate cholesterol metabolism and cellular function. RECENT FINDINGS The association of PON with HDL particles facilitates binding of the particle to macrophages and ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux. The hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by PON generates lysophosphatidylcholine which is shown to regulate expression of cholesterol transport proteins. The PON family also regulates multiple aspects of macrophage function. PON attenuates inflammation and prevents induction of apoptosis via activation of a scavenger receptor class B type-1-dependent signaling mechanism. PON limits macrophage-dependent oxidant formation by preventing the activation of the membrane-associated NADPH oxidase and by stabilizing mitochondria. PON also promotes the differentiation of macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. This function appears to be independent of PON enzymatic activity and, rather, is dependent on the ability of endogenous sulfhydryls to neutralize pro-inflammatory peroxides. SUMMARY In recent years, the therapeutic efficacy of HDL-based therapies has been subject to dispute. Pharmacological approaches that target an increase in the expression and/or activity of PON may facilitate macrophage cholesterol metabolism and attenuate inflammatory injury.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress and inflammatory factors are deeply involved in progression of atherosclerosis. Mitochondrion-targeted peptide SS-31, selectively targeting to mitochondrial inner membrane reacting with cardiolipin, has been reported to inhibit ROS generation and mitigate inflammation. The present study was designed to investigate whether SS-31 could suppress the development of atherosclerosis in vivo. Methods Male ApoE-/- mice (8 weeks old) fed with Western diet were treated with normal saline or SS-31 (1 mg/kg/d or 3 mg/kg/d) through subcutaneous injection for 12 weeks. Oil Red O staining was performed to evaluate area and sizes of the plaques. DHE staining and immunohistochemical staining of 8-OHDG was performed to assess the oxidative stress. The aorta ATP contents were assessed by the ATP bioluminescence assay kit. Immunohistochemical staining of CD68 and α-SMA and Masson’s trichrome staining were performed to evaluate the composition of atherosclerotic plaque. Biochemical assays were performed to determine the protein level and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The levels of CD36, LOX-1 and ABCA1 were immunohistochemically and biochemically determined to evaluate the cholesterol transport in aorta and peritoneal macrophages. Inflammatory factors, including ICAM-1, MCP-1, IL-6 and CRP in serum, were detected through ELISA. Results SS-31 administration reduced the area and sizes of western diet-induced atherosclerotic plaques and changed the composition of the plaques in ApoE-/- mice. Oxidative stress was suppressed, as evidenced by the reduced DHE stain, down-regulated 8-OHDG expression, and increased SOD activity after chronic SS-31 administration. Moreover, systemic inflammation was ameliorated as seen by decreasing serum ICAM-1, MCP-1, and IL-6 levels. Most importantly, SS-31 administration inhibited cholesterol influx by down-regulating expression of CD36 and LOX-1 to prevent lipid accumulation to further suppress the foam cell formation and atherosclerotic progression. Conclusion Administration of SS-31 prevents against atherosclerotic formation in ApoE-/- mice suggesting that SS-31 might be considered to be a potential drug to prevent atherosclerotic progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews current knowledge concerning diabetic dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD). It reviews strategies to reduce diabetes-associated CVD, including reducing low-density lipoprotein levels, lowering triglycerides, and increasing high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Special considerations, such as the multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome and partial lipodystrophy, and the role of glucose-lowering strategies in the management of diabetic dyslipidemia are discussed. RECENT FINDINGS The strongest evidence to date for reducing CVD in diabetes comes from the use of statins. While triglyceride lowering remains inconclusive, an ongoing trial might provide some finality to this question. The role of increasing HDL remains elusive, and HDL cholesterol appears to be an unsatisfactory metric for monitoring therapy. The use of statins offers the best current way to reduce diabetes-associated CVD. However, several novel and promising approaches for the management of diabetic dyslipidemia aimed at reducing CVD are in the pipeline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality and quantity of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may be associated with cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effect of rosuvastatin on cholesterol efflux (CE) for HDL function and vascular health.Methods and Results:We enrolled 30 dyslipidemic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 20 healthy subjects as controls. Vascular health was assessed on flow-medicated dilation (FMD), nitroglycerin-induced dilatation of the brachial artery and carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT). These parameters were compared between patients and controls, and between baseline and at 12 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin 20 mg. Age and body mass index were 49.8±11.3 years and 25.8±3.7 kg/m2in the patients, and 28.8±3.2 years and 22.4±2.4 kg/m2in the controls, respectively. The biomarkers related to lipid and glucose metabolism and lipoprotein (a), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and cIMT were significantly higher, and CE and FMD were significantly lower in the patients than in the controls. In the patients, rosuvastatin 20 mg decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 54.1% and increased HDL-C by 4.8%. The CE increased significantly after rosuvastatin treatment (12.26±2.72% vs. 14.05±4.14%). FMD also increased, and lipoprotein (a) and cIMT decreased significantly and were associated with changes of CE. CONCLUSIONS Rosuvastatin-induced changes in HDL function are significantly associated with cardiovascular benefit.

Abstract
Low levels of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with an increased risk of heart failure, regardless of the presence or absence of coronary artery disease. However, the direct effects of HDL on failing myocardium have not been fully elucidated. We found that HDL treatment resulted in improved cell viability in H9c2 cardiomyocytes under oxidative stress. This cardioprotective effect of HDL was regulated via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. mTOR signaling promotes cell survival through the inactivation of the BCL2-associated agonist of cell death via phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 kinase. Modulation of cardiac PI3K/mTOR signaling by HDL could represent a novel therapeutic strategy for heart failure.

Abstract
Emerging CVD risk factors (e.g. HDL function and central haemodynamics) may account for residual CVD risk experienced by individuals who meet LDL-cholesterol and blood pressure (BP) targets. Recent evidence suggests that these emerging risk factors can be modified by polyphenol-rich interventions such as soya, but additional research is needed. This study was designed to investigate the effects of an isoflavone-containing soya protein isolate (delivering 25 and 50 g/d soya protein) on HDL function (i.e. ex vivo cholesterol efflux), macrovascular function and blood markers of CVD risk. Middle-aged adults (n 20; mean age=51·6 (sem 6·6) years) with moderately elevated brachial BP (mean systolic BP=129 (sem 9) mmHg; mean diastolic BP=82·5 (sem 8·4) mmHg) consumed 0 (control), 25 and 50 g/d soya protein in a randomised cross-over design. Soya and control powders were consumed for 6 weeks each with a 2-week compliance break between treatment periods. Blood samples and vascular function measures were obtained at baseline and following each supplementation period. Supplementation with 50 g/d soya protein significantly reduced brachial diastolic BP (-2·3 mmHg) compared with 25 g/d soya protein (Tukey-adjusted P=0·03) but not the control. Soya supplementation did not improve ex vivo cholesterol efflux, macrovascular function or other blood markers of CVD risk compared with the carbohydrate-matched control. Additional research is needed to clarify whether effects on these CVD risk factors depend on the relative health of participants and/or equol producing capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is not decreased in hypercortisolism despite high triglycerides, which may be ascribed to effects on the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) pathway. We explored if CETP mRNA expression is modulated by glucocorticoid treatment in vitro. Effects of doubling the hydrocortisone (HCT) replacement dose on plasma CETP activity, and HDL characteristics were tested in patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human THP-1 macrophages were incubated with corticosterone in vitro in the presence or absence of a liver X receptor (LXR) agonist, followed by determination of CETP mRNA levels by quantitative real-time PCR. In addition, a randomised double-blind cross-over study was performed in 47 patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency (university medical setting; 10 weeks exposure to a higher HCT dose (0·4-0·6 mg/kg body weight) vs. 10 weeks of a lower HCT dose (0·2-0·3 mg/kg body weight). RESULTS Corticosterone dose dependently decreased CETP mRNA in THP-1 macrophages. Corticosterone also decreased CETP mRNA expression after LXR pretreatment. In patients, CETP activity decreased with doubling of the HCT dose (P = 0·049), coinciding with an increase in HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I and the HDL cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-I ratio (reflecting HDL size; P < 0·01 for each). The increase in the HDL cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-I ratio was correlated with the decrease in plasma CETP activity (r = -0·442, P = 0·002). CONCLUSION Glucocorticoids downregulate CETP gene expression in a human macrophage cell system. In line, a higher glucocorticoid replacement dose decreases plasma CETP activity in patients, thereby contributing to higher HDL cholesterol and an increase in estimated HDL size.

Abstract
HDL plays crucial roles at multiple stages of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, the effect of AMPK activation on HDL functionality has not been established in vivo. We assessed the effects of pharmacological AMPK activation using A-769662, AICAR, metformin, and IMM-H007 on the atheroprotective functions of HDL in apoE-deficient (apoE−/−) mice fed with a high-fat diet. After administration, there were no changes in serum lipid levels among the groups. However, mice treated with AMPK activators showed significantly enhanced reverse cholesterol transport in vivo and in vitro. AMPK activation also increased the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 in macrophages and scavenger receptor class B type I and LCAT in the liver. HDL from AMPK activation mice exhibited lower HDL inflammatory index and myeloperoxidase activity and higher paraoxonase 1 activity than HDL from untreated mice, implying superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. Pharmacological AMPK activation also induced polarization of macrophages to the M2 state and reduced plasma lipid peroxidation, inflammatory cytokine production, and atherosclerotic plaque formation in apoE−/− mice. These observations suggest that pharmacological AMPK activation enhances the anti-atherogenic properties of HDL in vivo. This likely represents a key mechanism by which AMPK activation attenuates atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a product of systemic inflammation, promotes oxidation of lipoproteins; whereas, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) exerts anti-oxidative effects in part via paraoxonase-1 (PON1). MPO induces dysfunctional HDL particles; however, the interaction of circulating levels of these measures in cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been studied in humans. We tested whether serum levels of MPO indexed to HDL particle concentration (MPO/HDLp) are associated with increased CVD risk in a large multiethnic population sample, free of CVD at baseline. METHODS Levels of MPO, HDL-C, and HDL particle concentration (HDLp) by NMR were measured at baseline in 2924 adults free of CVD. The associations of MPO/HDLp with incident ASCVD (first non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or CVD death) and total CVD were assessed in Cox proportional-hazards models adjusted for traditional risk factors. The median follow-up period was 9.4 years. RESULTS Adjusted for sex and race/ethnicity, MPO/HDLp was associated directly with body mass index, smoking status, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and interleukin 18, and inversely with age, HDL-C levels, HDL size, and PON1 arylesterase activity, but not with cholesterol efflux. In fully adjusted models, the highest versus lowest quartile of MPO/HDLp was associated with a 74% increase in incident ASCVD (aHR, 1.74, 95% CI 1.12-2.70) and a 91% increase in total incident CVD (aHR, 1.91, 95% CI 1.27-2.85). CONCLUSIONS Increased MPO indexed to HDL particle concentration (MPO/HDLp) at baseline is associated with increased risk of incident CVD events in a population initially free of CVD over the 9.4 year period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that the cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL is a better predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than HDL cholesterol. However, the standard procedures used for measuring cholesterol efflux capacity involve radioisotope-labeled cholesterol and cultured macrophages. Thus, a simpler method to measure HDL functionality is needed for clinical application. METHODS We established a cell-free assay system to evaluate the capacity of HDL to accept additional cholesterol, which we named cholesterol "uptake capacity," using fluorescently labeled cholesterol and an anti-apolipoprotein A1 antibody. We quantified cholesterol uptake capacity of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-depleted serum samples from patients with coronary artery disease who had previously undergone revascularization. RESULTS This assay system exhibited high reproducibility (CV <10%) and a short processing time (<6 h). The myeloperoxidase-mediated oxidation of apoB-depleted serum impaired cholesterol uptake capacity. Cholesterol uptake capacity correlated significantly with cholesterol efflux capacity (r2 = 0.47, n = 30). Furthermore, cholesterol uptake capacity correlated inversely with the requirement for revascularization because of recurrence of coronary lesions in patients with optimal control of LDL cholesterol (P < 0.01, n = 156). A multivariate analysis adjusted for traditional coronary risk factors showed that only cholesterol uptake capacity remained significant (odds ratio, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29-0.80; P = 0.0048). CONCLUSIONS Cholesterol uptake capacity assay evaluates the functionality of HDL in a sensitive and high-throughput manner without using radioisotope label and cells. This assay system could be used for the assessment of CVD risk in the clinical settings.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the largest cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). CVD in ESRD is not explained by classical CVD risk factors such as HDL cholesterol mass levels making functional alterations of lipoproteins conceivable. HDL functions in atheroprotection by promoting reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), comprising cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells, uptake into hepatocytes and final excretion into the feces. ESRD-HDL (n = 15) were compared to healthy control HDL (n = 15) for their capacity to promote in vitro (i) cholesterol efflux from THP-1 macrophage foam cells and (ii) SR-BI-mediated selective uptake into ldla[SR-BI] cells as well as (iii) in vivo RCT. Compared with HDL from controls, ESRD-HDL displayed a significant reduction in mediating cholesterol efflux (p < 0.001) and SR-BI-mediated selective uptake (p < 0.01), two key steps in RCT. Consistently, also the in vivo capacity of ESRD-HDL to promote RCT when infused into wild-type mice was significantly impaired (p < 0.01). In vitro oxidation of HDL from healthy controls with hypochloric acid was able to fully mimic the impaired biological activities of ESRD-HDL. In conclusion, we demonstrate that HDL from ESRD patients is dysfunctional in key steps as well as overall RCT, likely due to oxidative modification.

Abstract
Sphingosine kinase (SphK) is an important signalling enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of sphingosine (Sph) to form sphingosine‑1‑phosphate (S1P). The multifunctional lipid, S1P binds to a family of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). As an intracellular second messenger, S1P activates key signalling cascades responsible for the maintenance of sphingolipid metabolism, and has been implicated in the progression of cancer, and the development of other inflammatory and metabolic diseases. SphK and S1P are critical molecules involved in the regulation of various cellular metabolic processes, such as cell proliferation, survival, apoptosis, adhesion and migration. There is strong evidence supporting the critical roles of SphK and S1P in the progression of diabetes mellitus, including insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, pancreatic β‑cell apoptosis, and the development of diabetic inflammatory state. In this review, we summarise the current state of knowledge for SphK/S1P signalling effects, associated with the development of insulin resistance, pancreatic β‑cell death and the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) may affect macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (mRCT) through its role in the metabolism of HDL. Ex vivo cholesterol efflux capacity and in vivo mRCT were assessed in PLTP deletion and PLTP overexpression mice. PLTP deletion mice had reduced HDL mass and cholesterol efflux capacity, but unchanged in vivo mRCT. To directly compare the effects of PLTP overexpression and deletion on mRCT, human PLTP was overexpressed in the liver of wild-type animals using an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, and control and PLTP deletion animals were injected with AAV-null. PLTP overexpression and deletion reduced plasma HDL mass and cholesterol efflux capacity. Both substantially decreased ABCA1-independent cholesterol efflux, whereas ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux remained the same or increased, even though preβ HDL levels were lower. Neither PLTP overexpression nor deletion affected excretion of macrophage-derived radiocholesterol in the in vivo mRCT assay. The ex vivo and in vivo assays were modified to gauge the rate of cholesterol efflux from macrophages to plasma. PLTP activity did not affect this metric. Thus, deviations in PLTP activity from the wild-type level reduce HDL mass and ex vivo cholesterol efflux capacity, but not the rate of macrophage cholesterol efflux to plasma or in vivo mRCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) is anti-inflammatory in the basal state and pro-inflammatory during the acute-phase response. Blood mercury also has an inflammatory property. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum HDLC and blood mercury concentration in relation with metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS The data of 7616 subjects (3713 men and 3903 women), over 20 years of age, from 2008 to 2013, Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were selected for cross-sectional analyses. Correlation and regression of serum HDLC and blood mercury were initially done. We compared serum HDLC concentration according to blood mercury quartile after adjustment for relevant variables in subjects with MS. RESULTS Mean blood mercury concentrations is 5.6 and 3.9 μg/dL in men and women, respectively. Blood mercury concentration in MS subjects was positively correlated with serum HDLC concentration, especially in men. In addition, HDLC concentration was significantly higher according to the higher blood mercury quartile. CONCLUSION Serum HDLC was positively associated with blood mercury concentration in MS Korean men. Therefore, elevated blood mercury may be a factor to increase serum HDLC concentration in MS men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological and observational studies have established that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an independent negative cardiovascular risk factor. However, simple measurement of HDL-C levels is no longer sufficient for cardiovascular risk assessment. Therefore, there is a critical need for novel non-invasive biomarkers that would display prognostic superiority over HDL-C. Cell surface ecto-F1-ATPase contributes to several athero-protective properties of HDL, including reverse cholesterol transport and vascular endothelial protection. Serum inhibitory factor 1 (IF1), an endogenous inhibitor of ecto-F1-ATPase, is an independent determinant of HDL-C associated with low risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). This work aimed to examine the predictive value of serum IF1 for long-term mortality in CAD patients. Its informative value was compared to that of HDL-C. METHOD Serum IF1 levels were measured in 577 male participants with stable CAD (age 45-74 years) from the GENES (Genetique et ENvironnement en Europe du Sud) study. Vital status was yearly assessed, with a median follow-up of 11 years and a 29.5 % mortality rate. Cardiovascular mortality accounted for the majority (62.4 %) of deaths. RESULTS IF1 levels were positively correlated with HDL-C (r s = 0.40; P < 0.001) and negatively with triglycerides (r s = -0.21, P < 0.001) and CAD severity documented by the Gensini score (r s = -0.13; P < 0.01). Total and cardiovascular mortality were lower at the highest quartiles of IF1 (HR = 0.55; 95 % CI, 0.38-0.89 and 0.50 (0.28-0.89), respectively) but not according to HDL-C. Inverse associations of IF1 with mortality remained significant, after multivariate adjustments for classical cardiovascular risk factors (age, smoking, physical activity, waist circumference, HDL-C, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes) and for powerful biological and clinical variables of prognosis, including heart rate, ankle-brachial index and biomarkers of cardiac diseases. The 10-year mortality was 28.5 % in patients with low IF1 (<0.42 mg/L) and 21.4 % in those with high IF1 (≥0.42 mg/L, P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS We investigated for the first time the relation between IF1 levels and long-term prognosis in CAD patients, and found an independent negative association. IF1 measurement might be used as a novel HDL-related biomarker to better stratify risk in populations at high risk or in the setting of pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS South Asians have an exceptionally high risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to white Caucasians. A contributing factor might be dysfunction of high density lipoprotein (HDL). We aimed to compare HDL function in different age groups of both ethnicities. METHODS AND RESULTS HDL functionality with respect to cholesterol efflux, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation was determined using fasting, apoB-depleted, plasma samples from South Asian and white Caucasian neonates (n = 14 each), adolescent healthy men (n = 12 each, 18-25 y), and adult overweight men (n = 12 each, 40-50 y). Adolescents were subjected to a 5-day high fat high calorie diet (HCD) and adults to an 8-day very low calorie diet (LCD). Additionally, HDL composition was measured in adolescents and adults using (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. Anti-oxidative capacity was lower in South Asian adults before LCD (19.4 ± 2.1 vs. 25.8 ± 1.2%, p = 0.045, 95%-CI = [0.1; 12.7]) and after LCD (16.4 ± 2.4 vs. 27.6 ± 2.7%, p = 0.001, 95%-CI = [4.9; 17.5]). Anti-inflammatory capacity was reduced in South Asian neonates (23.8 ± 1.2 vs. 34.9 ± 1.3%, p = 0.000001, 95%-CI = [-14.6; -7.5]), and was negatively affected by an 8-day LCD only in South Asian adults (-12.2 ± 4.3%, p = 0.005, 95%-CI = [-5.9; -1.2]). Cholesterol efflux capacity was increased in response to HCD in adolescents (South Asians: +6.3 ± 2.9%, p = 0.073, 95%-CI = [-0.02; 0.46], Caucasians: +11.8 ± 3.4%, p = 0.002, 95%-CI = [0.17;0.65]) and decreased after LCD in adults (South Asians: -10.3 ± 2.4%, p < 0.001, 95%-CI = [-0.57; -0.20], Caucasians: -13.7 ± 1.9%, p < 0.00001, 95%-CI = [-0.67; -0.33]). Although subclass analyses of HDL showed no differences between ethnicities, cholesterol efflux correlated best with cholesterol and phospholipid within small HDL compared to other HDL subclasses and constituents. CONCLUSION Impaired HDL functionality in South Asians may be a contributing factor to their high CVD risk. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NTR 2473 (URL: http://www.trialregister.nl/).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have failed to establish a causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (HDL-C) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), shifting focus to other HDL measures. We previously reported that smaller/denser HDL levels are protective against cerebrovascular disease. This study sought to determine which of small+medium HDL particle concentration (HDL-P) or large HDL-P was more strongly associated with carotid intima-media thickening (cIMT) in an ethnically diverse cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS In cross-sectional analyses of participants from the Multi Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), we evaluated the associations of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-measured small+medium versus large HDL-P with cIMT measured in the common and internal carotid arteries, through linear regression. After adjustment for CVD confounders, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C, and small+medium HDL-P remained significantly and inversely associated with common (coefficient=-1.46 μm; P=0.00037; n=6512) and internal cIMT (coefficient=-3.82 μm; P=0.0051; n=6418) after Bonferroni correction for 4 independent tests (threshold for significance=0.0125; α=0.05/4). Large HDL-P was significantly and inversely associated with both cIMT outcomes before HDL-C adjustment; however, after adjustment for HDL-C, the association of large HDL-P with both common (coefficient=1.55 μm; P=0.30; n=6512) and internal cIMT (coefficient=4.84 μm; P=0.33; n=6418) was attenuated. In a separate sample of 126 men, small/medium HDL-P was more strongly correlated with paraoxonase 1 activity (rp=0.32; P=0.00023) as compared to both total HDL-P (rp=0.27; P=0.0024) and large HDL-P (rp=0.02; P=0.41) measures. CONCLUSIONS Small+medium HDL-P is significantly and inversely correlated with cIMT measurements. Correlation of small+medium HDL-P with cardioprotective paraoxonase 1 activity may reflect a functional aspect of HDL responsible for this finding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; <40 mg/dL) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, but it is unclear whether lower thresholds (<30 mg/dL) are associated with increased hazard. HYPOTHESIS Very low levels of HDL-C may provide prognostic information in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated medically without revascularization. METHODS We examined data from 9064/9326 ACS patients enrolled in the TRILOGY ACS trial. Participants were randomized to clopidogrel or prasugrel plus aspirin. Study treatments continued for 6 to 30 months. Relationships between baseline HDL-C and the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke, and individual endpoints of death (cardiovascular and all-cause), MI, and stroke, adjusted for baseline characteristics through 30 months, were analyzed. The HDL-C was evaluated as a dichotomous variable-very low (<30 mg/dL) vs higher (≥30 mg/dL)-and continuously. RESULTS Median baseline HDL-C was 42 mg/dL (interquartile range, 34-49 mg/dL) with little variation over time. Frequency of the composite endpoint was similar for very low vs higher baseline HDL-C, with no risk difference between groups (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.95-1.34). Similar findings were seen for MI and stroke. However, risks for cardiovascular (HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.13-1.78) and all-cause death (HR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.11-1.67) were higher in patients with very low baseline HDL-C. CONCLUSIONS Medically managed ACS patients with very low baseline HDL-C levels have higher risk of long-term cardiovascular and all-cause death but similar risks for nonfatal ischemic outcomes vs patients with higher baseline HDL-C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Evidence continues to accumulate that athero-protective effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) depend to some degree on effective HDL functionality and that such functionality can become degraded in the setting of chronic inflammation. To investigate this issue, we have studied a group of post-myocardial infarction patients with high levels of C-reactive protein as an indicator of chronic inflammation and with concurrently high levels of HDL cholesterol. For these patients we have demonstrated high-risk for recurrent cardiac events as well as a strong association of risk with a polymorphism of the gene (SERPINB2) for plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2) presumptively reflective of an important role for fibrinolysis in risk. However, additional processes might be involved. The current work sought to characterize processes underlying how PAI-2 might be involved in the generation of risk. METHODS Multivariate population data were leveraged using Bayesian network modeling, a graphical probabilistic approach for knowledge discovery, to generate networks reflective of influences on PAI-2 polymorphism-associated risk. RESULTS Modeling results revealed three individual networks centering on the PAI-2 polymorphism with specific features providing information relating to how the polymorphism might associate with risk. These included racial dependency, platelet clot initiation and propagation, oxidative stress, inflammation effects on HDL metabolism and coagulation, and induction and termination of fibrinolysis. CONCLUSIONS Beyond direct association of a PAI-2 polymorphism with recurrent risk in post-myocardial infarction patients, results suggest that PAI-2 likely plays a key role leading to risk through multiple pathophysiologic processes. Such knowledge could potentially be valuable with individualization of patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors have been shown to substantially increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-I levels as monotherapy and combined with statins. However, data on the effects of this class of drugs on macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), a functional assay that characterizes a key step in the process of reverse cholesterol transport, are limited. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the impact of evacetrapib, statins, or combination therapy on CEC. METHODS We analyzed samples from 377 subjects with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or low HDL-C levels who were enrolled in a phase 2 trial of evacetrapib. Percent changes from baseline in CEC (total, non-ABCA1-, and ABCA1-specific) and HDL subpopulations were evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment with placebo, statin monotherapy, evacetrapib monotherapy, or evacetrapib combined with statins. Pre-beta-1 HDL levels were quantified by immunofixation and nondenaturing 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE). RESULTS Relative to placebo, evacetrapib monotherapy increased dose-dependent total and non-ABCA1-specific CEC up to 34% and 47%, respectively. Evacetrapib monotherapy also increased ABCA1-specific CEC up to 26%. Relative to statin monotherapy, evacetrapib with statins also increased total, non-ABCA1-, and ABCA1-specific CEC by 21%, 27%, and 15%, respectively. In contrast, rosuvastatin and simvastatin significantly reduced total and ABCA1-specific CEC, whereas atorvastatin had no significant effect. Consistent with ABCA1-specific CEC, evacetrapib monotherapy and evacetrapib combined with statins significantly increased pre-beta-1 HDL levels as measured by either method. CONCLUSIONS Evacetrapib, as monotherapy and combined with statins, not only increased total CEC, but also increased ABCA1-specific CEC and pre-beta-1 HDL. The mechanisms by which potent CETP inhibition increases ABCA1-specific CEC and pre-beta-1 HDL require further study. (A Study of LY2484595 in Patients With High LDL-C or Low HDL-C; NCT01105975).

World J Hepatol 2016; 8:291-300. [PMID: 26925203 PMCID: PMC4757652 DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v8.i5.291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2015] [Revised: 10/24/2015] [Accepted: 01/29/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To determine the significance of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) in lipoprotein abnormalities in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
METHODS: We evaluated the significance of the serum concentration of CETP in 110 Japanese patients with chronic HCV infection. Fifty-five patients had active HCV infection, and HCV eradication had been achieved in 55. The role of CETP in serum lipoprotein abnormalities, specifically, in triglyceride (TG) concentrations in the four major classes of lipoproteins, was investigated using Pearson correlations in conjunction with multiple regression analysis and compared them between those with active HCV infection and those in whom eradication had been achieved.
RESULTS: The serum CETP levels of patients with active HCV infection were significantly higher than those of patients in whom HCV eradication was achieved (mean ± SD, 2.84 ± 0.69 μg/mL vs 2.40 ± 1.00 μg/mL, P = 0.008). In multiple regression analysis, HCV infection status (active or eradicated) was an independent factor significantly associated with the serum CETP level. TG concentrations in low-density lipoprotein (mean ± SD, 36.25 ± 15.28 μg/mL vs 28.14 ± 9.94 μg/mL, P = 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (mean ± SD, 25.9 ± 7.34 μg/mL vs 17.17 ± 4.82 μg/mL, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients with active HCV infection than in those in whom HCV eradication was achieved. The CETP level was strongly correlated with HDL-TG in patients with active HCV infection (R = 0.557, P < 0.001), whereas CETP was not correlated with HDL-TG in patients in whom HCV eradication was achieved (R = -0.079, P = 0.56).
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that CETP plays a role in abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism in patients with chronic HCV infection.
