J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12031013. [PMID: 36769659 PMCID: PMC9917808 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12031013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) has been associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease. Adipose tissue plays a major role in lipid metabolism, mobilization and distribution. We have compared the histological and transcriptomic profiles of the subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissues from subjects with severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery with (Ob-HTG, n = 37) and without HTG (Ob-NTG, n = 67). Mean age and BMI were 51.87 ± 11.21 years, 45.78 ± 6.96 kg/m2 and 50.03 ± 10.17 years, 44.04 ± 4.69 kg/m2, respectively. The Ob-HTG group showed higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and prevalence of hypertension. The degree of fibrosis was increased by 14% in SAT from the Ob-HTG group (p = 0.028), while adipocyte size distribution was comparable. Twenty genes were found differentially expressed in SAT and VAT between study groups. Among them, only SAT expression of FABP4 resulted significantly associated with circulating triglyceride levels after adjusting for other covariates and independently explained 5% of the variance in triglyceride levels in the combined model. This relationship was not found in the cohort of lean or overweight patients with normotriglyceridemia (non-Ob, n = 21). These results emphasize the contribution of SAT to triglyceride concentrations in obesity and indicate that FABP4 may be a potential drug target for the treatment of HTG.

Abstract
Statins, in addition to healthy lifestyle interventions, are the cornerstone of lipid-lowering therapy. Other low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-lowering drugs include ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, and PCSK9 inhibitors. As new evidence emerges from new clinical trials, therapeutic goals change, leading to renewed clinical guidelines. Nowadays, LDL goals are getting lower, leading to the "lower is better" paradigm in LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) management. Several observational studies have shown that LDL-C control in real life is suboptimal in both primary and secondary preventions. It is critical to enhance the adherence to guideline recommendations through shared decision-making between clinicians and patients, with patient engagement in selecting interventions based on individual values, preferences, and associated conditions and comorbidities. This narrative review summarizes the evidence regarding the benefits of lipid-lowering drugs in reducing cardiovascular events, the pleiotropic effect of statins, real-world data on overtreatment and undertreatment of lipid-lowering therapies, and the changing LDL-C in targets in the clinical guidelines of dyslipidemias over the years.

Abstract
Obesity has become a major worldwide health problem. In every single country in the world, the incidence of obesity is rising continuously and therefore, the associated morbidity, mortality and both medical and economical costs are expected to increase as well. The majority of these complications are related to co-morbid conditions that include coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory disorders and dyslipidemia. Obesity increases cardiovascular risk through risk factors such as increased fasting plasma triglycerides, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, elevated blood glucose and insulin levels and high blood pressure. Novel lipid dependent, metabolic risk factors associated to obesity are the presence of the small dense LDL phenotype, postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of atherogenic remnants and hepatic overproduction of apoB containing lipoproteins. All these lipid abnormalities are typical features of the metabolic syndrome and may be associated to a pro-inflammatory gradient which in part may originate in the adipose tissue itself and directly affect the endothelium. An important link between obesity, the metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia, seems to be the development of insulin resistance in peripheral tissues leading to an enhanced hepatic flux of fatty acids from dietary sources, intravascular lipolysis and from adipose tissue resistant to the antilipolytic effects of insulin. The current review will focus on these aspects of lipid metabolism in obesity and potential interventions to treat the obesity related dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Recent epidemiologic studies have revealed that hypertriglyceridemia is associated with atherosclerosis independent of other coronary risk factors. However, it is difficult to select patients at high risk for coronary artery disease using only serum triglyceride levels compared with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels since multiple factors are associated with elevating triglycerides. Atherosclerotic diseases with high triglyceride levels can be found in patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome, in which remnant lipoproteins accumulate in the circulating blood. Recent researches have paid attention to remnant lipoproteins as atherogenic particles with the development of methods for measuring remnant cholesterol levels and apolipoprotein B-48 levels directly from human serum. Measurement of these parameters in addition to serum triglycerides may help to distinguish high-risk patients and enable us to prevent or suppress the progression of atherosclerotic diseases in those patients. However, questions remain to be answered to evaluate the significance of remnant lipoproteins. Here, we focus on three issues: the underlying problems in measuring remnant lipoprotein cholesterol, the assessment of postprandial hyperlipidemia as an atherogenic condition, and finally a review of our experimental and clinical findings about the mechanisms by which remnant lipoproteins induce atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The accumulation of foam cells in the artery wall causes fatty streaks, the first lesions in atherosclerosis. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) plays a major role in foam cell formation, although prior oxidation of the particles is required. Recent studies, however, have provided considerable evidence to indicate that CMRs (chylomicron remnants), which carry dietary lipids in the blood, induce foam cell formation without oxidation. We have shown that CMRs are taken up by macrophages and induce accumulation of both triacylglycerol and cholesterol, and that the rate of uptake and amount of lipid accumulated is influenced by the type of dietary fat in the particles. Furthermore, oxidation of CMRs, in striking contrast with LDL, inhibits, rather than enhances, their uptake and induction of lipid accumulation. In addition, the lipid accumulated after exposure of macrophages to CMRs is resistant to efflux, and this may be due to its sequestration in lysosomes. These findings demonstrate that CMRs induce pro-atherogenic changes in macrophages, and that their effects may be modulated by dietary factors including oxidized fats, lipophilic antioxidants and the type of fat present.

Abstract
The influence of the fatty acid composition of chylomicron remnant-like particles (CRLPs) on their uptake and induction of lipid accumulation in macrophages was studied. CRLPs containing triacylglycerol enriched in saturated, monounsaturated, n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from palm, olive, corn or fish oil, respectively, and macrophages derived from the human monocyte cell line THP-1 were used. Lipid accumulation (triacylglycerol and cholesterol) in the cells was measured after incubation with CRLPs for 5, 24 and 48 h, and uptake over 24 h was determined using CRLPs radiolabelled with [3H]triolein. Total lipid accumulation in the macrophages was significantly greater with palm CRLPs than with the other three types of particle. This was mainly due to increased triacylglycerol concentrations, whereas changes in cholesterol concentrations did not reach significance. There were no significant differences in lipid accumulation after incubation with olive, corn or fish CRLPs. Palm and olive CRLPs were taken up by the cells at a similar rate, which was considerably faster than that observed with corn and fish CRLPs. These findings demonstrate that CRLPs enriched in saturated or monounsaturated fatty acids are taken up more rapidly by macrophages than those enriched in n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and that the faster uptake rate results in greater lipid accumulation in the case of saturated fatty acid-rich particles, but not monounsaturated fatty acid-rich particles. Thus, dietary saturated fatty acids carried in chylomicron remnants may enhance their propensity to induce macrophage foam cell formation.

Abstract
Taurine has been reported to enhance cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) mRNA expression in animal models. However, no in vitro studies of this effect have been reported. The Hep G2 human hepatoma cell line has been recognized as a good model for studying the regulation of human CYP7A1. This work characterizes the effects of taurine on CYP7A1 mRNA levels of Hep G2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the dose-dependent experiment, Hep G2 cells were treated with 0, 2, 10 or 20 mM taurine in the presence or absence of cholesterol 0.2 mM for 48 h. In the time-dependent experiment, Hep G2 cells were treated with 0 or 20 mM taurine for 4, 24 and 48 h with and without cholesterol 0.2 mM. Our data revealed that taurine showed time- and dose-response effects on CYP7A1 mRNA levels in Hep G2 cells. However, glycine - a structural analogue of taurine - did not have an effect on CYP7A1 gene expression. These results show that, in agreement to previous studies on animal models, taurine induces the mRNA levels of CYP7A1 in Hep G2 cells, which could enhance cholesterol conversion into bile acids. Also, Hep G2 cell line may be an appropriate model to study the effects of taurine on human cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract
The influence of chylomicron remnants on lipid accumulation and synthesis and the activity and/or expression of mRNA for some of the key enzymes involved was investigated in the murine macrophage cell line J774. The effects of varying the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition and oxidation state of the remnants were also examined. Chylomicron remnants derived from corn oil (rich in n-6 PUFA) or fish oil (rich in n-3 PUFA) were prepared in vivo and oxidised by incubation with CuSO(4). The native and oxidised remnants caused a marked rise in intracellular triacylglycerol levels, but the rise induced by corn oil remnants (four- to sixfold) was greater than that observed with fish oil remnants (<2-fold). Triacylglycerol synthesis, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]oleate and [3H]glycerol into cellular triacylglycerol, was increased by all four remnant types tested, and corn oil remnants had a significantly greater effect than fish oil remnants. Oxidation of the remnants did not affect the results obtained. Although the incorporation of [3H]oleate into cholesteryl ester by the cells was not significantly changed by any of the four types of remnants tested, the activity and expression of mRNA for acyl Co-enzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) was increased by corn oil, but not by fish or oxidised corn, remnants. Neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase (nCEH) activity, however, was also raised by corn oil remnants. These studies indicate that chylomicron remnants induce the accumulation of triacylglycerol in J774 macrophages, and that increased synthesis of triacylglycerol plays a major role in this process. Furthermore, they demonstrate that these effects are enhanced when the remnants are enriched in n-6 PUFA as compared with n-3 PUFA, but not after oxidation of the particles, suggesting that the fatty acid composition of chylomicron remnants may be more important than their oxidation state in their ability to induce foam cell formation.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have provided support for the association between delayed remnant removal and premature atherosclerosis. Triglyceride-rich particles such as chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants that carry dietary derived fats, may play a role in the early stages of developing arteriosclerosis. Currently research focuses on these lipoprotein classes seeking distinguishing factors that causes some lipoproteins to be atherogenic while others are not. Such lipoproteins could be involved in atherogenesis directly or indirectly. Direct involvement occurs by interaction of triglyceride-rich particles with the arterial wall, possibly affecting the artery wall by oxidative stress, direct endothelial toxicity by constituents such as lysophosphatidylcholine or oxysterols, induction of prothrombotic changes, stimulation of endothelial expression of cell adhesion molecules and direct interaction with circulating blood cells. Indirect involvement refers to the influence of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins on other lipoproteins on the composition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. We propose that in individuals with delayed removal of chylomicron remnants, the prolonged exposure of areas of endothelium that have been partially activated by turbulent flow, to specific components of the remnants, results in the endothelial cells becoming further activated and able to bind monocytes. During or shortly after the transcytosis to the intima and transformation of monocytes to macrophages, the macrophages become engorged with remnant derived lipids and form the nidus of a fatty streak.
