J Lipid Res 2024; 65:100541. [PMID: 38583587 PMCID: PMC11087725 DOI: 10.1016/j.jlr.2024.100541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
HDLs carry sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and stimulate signaling pathways in different cells including macrophages and endothelial cells, involved in atherosclerotic plaque development. HDL signaling via S1P relies on the HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-B1) and the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), which interact when both are heterologously overexpressed in the HEK293 cell line. In this study, we set out to test if SR-B1 and S1PR1 interacted in primary murine macrophages in culture and atherosclerotic plaques. We used knock-in mice that endogenously expressed S1PR1 tagged with eGFP-(S1pr1eGFP/eGFP mice), combined with proximity ligation analysis to demonstrate that HDL stimulates the physical interaction between SR-B1 and S1PR1 in primary macrophages, that this is dependent on HDL-associated S1P and can be blocked by an inhibitor of SR-B1's lipid transfer activity or an antagonist of S1PR1. We also demonstrate that a synthetic S1PR1-selective agonist, SEW2871, stimulates the interaction between SR-B1 and S1PR1 and that this was also blocked by an inhibitor of SR-B1's lipid transport activity. Furthermore, we detected abundant SR-B1/S1PR1 complexes in atherosclerotic plaques of S1pr1eGFP/eGFP mice that also lacked apolipoprotein E. Treatment of mice with the S1PR1 antagonist, Ex26, for 12 h disrupted the SR-B1-S1PR1 interaction in atherosclerotic plaques. These findings demonstrate that SR-B1 and S1PR1 form ligand-dependent complexes both in cultured primary macrophages and within atherosclerotic plaques in mice and provide mechanistic insight into how SR-B1 and S1PR1 participate in mediating HDL signaling to activate atheroprotective responses in macrophages.

Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:497. [PMID: 38675158 PMCID: PMC11054943 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury via signaling through scavenger-receptor class B type-I (SR-BI) and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs). We recently reported that HDL protects the hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) against I/R injury in an SR-BI-dependent manner. OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined the role of S1PRs in HDL-induced protection against myocardial I/R injury in hypertensive rats. METHODS Hearts from Wistar Kyoto rats (WKYs) and SHRs were subjected to I/R injury using a modified Langendorff system. The hearts were treated with or without HDL in the presence or absence of a receptor- or kinase-specific antagonist. Cardiac hemodynamics and infarct size were measured. Target proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting and ELISA, and nitrite levels were measured using Greis reagent. RESULTS HDL protected the hearts of WKYs and SHRs against I/R injury. HDL, however, was more protective in WKYs. HDL protection in SHRs required lipid uptake via SR-BI and S1PR1 and S1PR3 but not S1PR2. The hearts from SHRs expressed significantly lower levels of S1PR3 than the hearts from WKYs. HDL differentially activated mediators of the SAFE and RISK pathways in WKYs and SHRs and resulted in nitric oxide generation. Blockage of these pathways abrogated HDL effects. CONCLUSIONS HDL protects against myocardial I/R injury in normotensive and hypertensive rats, albeit to varying degrees. HDL protection in hearts from hypertensive rodents involved SR-BI-mediated lipid uptake coupled with signaling through S1PR1 and S1PR3. The extent of HDL-induced cardiac protection is directly proportional to S1PR3 expression levels. Mechanistically, the safeguarding effects of HDL involved activation of the SAFE and RISK pathways and the generation of nitric oxide.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) nanoparticles promote endothelial cell (EC) function and suppress inflammation, but their utility in treating EC dysfunction has not been fully explored. Here, we describe a fusion protein named ApoA1-ApoM (A1M) consisting of apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), the principal structural protein of HDL that forms lipid nanoparticles, and ApoM, a chaperone for the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). A1M forms HDL-like particles, binds to S1P, and is signaling competent. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the S1P-bound ApoM moiety in A1M efficiently activated EC surface receptors. Treatment of human umbilical vein ECs with A1M-S1P stimulated barrier function either alone or cooperatively with other barrier-enhancing molecules, including the stable prostacyclin analog iloprost, and suppressed cytokine-induced inflammation. A1M-S1P injection into mice during sterile inflammation suppressed neutrophil influx and inflammatory mediator secretion. Moreover, systemic A1M administration led to a sustained increase in circulating HDL-bound S1P and suppressed inflammation in a murine model of LPS-induced endotoxemia. We propose that A1M administration may enhance vascular endothelial barrier function, suppress cytokine storm, and promote resilience of the vascular endothelium.

Necessary Role of Ceramides in the Human Microvascular Endothelium During Health and Disease. Circ Res 2024; 134:81-96. [PMID: 38037825 PMCID: PMC10766100 DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.123.323445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated plasma ceramides and microvascular dysfunction both independently predict adverse cardiac events. Despite the known detrimental effects of ceramide on the microvasculature, evidence suggests that activation of the shear-sensitive, ceramide-forming enzyme NSmase (neutral sphingomyelinase) elicits formation of vasoprotective nitric oxide (NO). Here, we explore a novel hypothesis that acute ceramide formation through NSmase is necessary for maintaining NO signaling within the human microvascular endothelium. We further define the mechanism through which ceramide exerts beneficial effects and discern key mechanistic differences between arterioles from otherwise healthy adults (non-coronary artery disease [CAD]) and patients diagnosed with CAD. METHODS Human arterioles were dissected from discarded surgical adipose tissue (n=166), and vascular reactivity to flow and C2-ceramide was assessed. Shear-induced NO and mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production were measured in arterioles using fluorescence microscopy. H2O2 fluorescence was assessed in isolated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. RESULTS Inhibition of NSmase in arterioles from otherwise healthy adults induced a switch from NO to NOX-2 (NADPH-oxidase 2)-dependent H2O2-mediated flow-induced dilation. Endothelial dysfunction was prevented by treatment with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and partially prevented by C2-ceramide and an agonist of S1P-receptor 1 (S1PR1); the inhibition of the S1P/S1PR1 signaling axis induced endothelial dysfunction via NOX-2. Ceramide increased NO production in arterioles from non-CAD adults, an effect that was diminished with inhibition of S1P/S1PR1/S1P-receptor 3 signaling. In arterioles from patients with CAD, inhibition of NSmase impaired the overall ability to induce mitochondrial H2O2 production and subsequently dilate to flow, an effect not restored with exogenous S1P. Acute ceramide administration to arterioles from patients with CAD promoted H2O2 as opposed to NO production, an effect dependent on S1P-receptor 3 signaling. CONCLUSION These data suggest that despite differential downstream signaling between health and disease, NSmase-mediated ceramide formation is necessary for proper functioning of the human microvascular endothelium. Therapeutic strategies that aim to significantly lower ceramide formation may prove detrimental to the microvasculature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heterogeneous high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, which can contain hundreds of proteins, affect human health and disease through dynamic molecular interactions with cell surface proteins. How HDL mediates its long-range signaling functions and interactions with various cell types is largely unknown. Due to the complexity of HDL, we hypothesize that multiple receptors engage with HDL particles resulting in condition-dependent receptor-HDL interaction clusters at the cell surface. METHODS Here we used the mass spectrometry-based and light-controlled proximity labeling strategy LUX-MS in a discovery-driven manner to decode HDL-receptor interactions. RESULTS Surfaceome nanoscale organization analysis of hepatocytes and endothelial cells using LUX-MS revealed that the previously known HDL-binding protein scavenger receptor B1 (SCRB1) is embedded in a cell surface protein community, which we term HDL synapse. Modulating the endothelial HDL synapse, composed of 60 proteins, by silencing individual members, showed that the HDL synapse can be assembled in the absence of SCRB1 and that the members are interlinked. The aminopeptidase N (AMPN) (also known as CD13) was identified as an HDL synapse member that directly influences HDL uptake into the primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that preformed cell surface residing protein complexes modulate HDL function and suggest new theragnostic opportunities.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a mixture of complex particles mediating reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and several cytoprotective activities. Despite its relevance for human health, many aspects of HDL-mediated lipid trafficking and cellular signaling remain elusive at the molecular level. During HDL’s journey throughout the body, its functions are mediated through interactions with cell surface receptors on different cell types. To characterize and better understand the functional interplay between HDL particles and tissue, we analyzed the surfaceome-residing receptor neighborhoods with which HDL potentially interacts. We applied a combination of chemoproteomic technologies including automated cell surface capturing (auto-CSC) and HATRIC-based ligand–receptor capturing (HATRIC-LRC) on four different cellular model systems mimicking tissues relevant for RCT. The surfaceome analysis of EA.hy926, HEPG2, foam cells, and human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) revealed the main currently known HDL receptor scavenger receptor B1 (SCRB1), as well as 155 shared cell surface receptors representing potential HDL interaction candidates. Since vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) was recently found as a regulatory factor of transendothelial transport of HDL, we next analyzed the VEGF-modulated surfaceome of HAEC using the auto-CSC technology. VEGF-A treatment led to the remodeling of the surfaceome of HAEC cells, including the previously reported higher surfaceome abundance of SCRB1. In total, 165 additional receptors were found on HAEC upon VEGF-A treatment representing SCRB1 co-regulated receptors potentially involved in HDL function. Using the HATRIC-LRC technology on human endothelial cells, we specifically aimed for the identification of other bona fide (co-)receptors of HDL beyond SCRB1. HATRIC-LRC enabled, next to SCRB1, the identification of the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase Mer (MERTK). Through RNA interference, we revealed its contribution to endothelial HDL binding and uptake. Furthermore, subsequent proximity ligation assays (PLAs) demonstrated the spatial vicinity of MERTK and SCRB1 on the endothelial cell surface. The data shown provide direct evidence for a complex and dynamic HDL receptome and that receptor nanoscale organization may influence binding and uptake of HDL.

Abstract
Objective. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) was found vasoprotective, but numbers of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have normal or even high levels of pathological HDL (pHDL). So, we investigate the mechanism of pHDL in AMI patients on angiogenesis. Methods. HDL with normal levels from healthy subjects (nHDL, control group,
) and patients with AMI (pHDL, experimental groups,
) were obtained by super high speed centrifugation. Then, effects of HDL on proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and expression of ERK1/2 and its phosphorylation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) with or without PD98059 (inhibitor of ERK1/2) preincubation were detected. Results. Compared with the control group (nHDL), HDL from the experimental group (pHDL) significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVEC (
), while these effects of HDL could substantially be blocked by preincubation of PD98059 (
). Conclusion. HDL in AMI patients affects angiogenesis by inhibiting ERK1/2 activation free from HDL levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The vascular endothelium maintains tissue-fluid homeostasis by controlling the passage of large molecules and fluid between the blood and interstitial space. The interaction of catenins and the actin cytoskeleton with VE-cadherin (vascular endothelial cadherin) is the primary mechanism for stabilizing AJs (adherens junctions), thereby preventing lung vascular barrier disruption. Members of the Rho (Ras homology) family of GTPases and conventional GEFs (guanine exchange factors) of these GTPases have been demonstrated to play important roles in regulating endothelial permeability. Here, we evaluated the role of DOCK4 (dedicator of cytokinesis 4)-an unconventional Rho family GTPase GEF in vascular function. METHODS We generated mice deficient in DOCK4' used DOCK4 silencing and reconstitution approaches in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells' used assays to evaluate protein localization, endothelial cell permeability, and small GTPase activation. RESULTS Our data show that DOCK4-deficient mice are viable. However, these mice have hemorrhage selectively in the lung, incomplete smooth muscle cell coverage in pulmonary vessels, increased basal microvascular permeability, and impaired response to S1P (sphingosine-1-phosphate)-induced reversal of thrombin-induced permeability. Consistent with this, DOCK4 rapidly translocates to the cell periphery and associates with the detergent-insoluble fraction following S1P treatment, and its absence prevents S1P-induced Rac-1 activation and enhancement of barrier function. Moreover, DOCK4-silenced pulmonary artery endothelial cells exhibit enhanced basal permeability in vitro that is associated with enhanced Rho GTPase activation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that DOCK4 maintains AJs necessary for lung vascular barrier function by establishing the normal balance between RhoA (Ras homolog family member A) and Rac-1-mediated actin cytoskeleton remodeling, a previously unappreciated function for the atypical GEF family of molecules. Our studies also identify S1P as a potential upstream regulator of DOCK4 activity.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid that binds and activates five distinct receptor subtypes, S1P1, S1P2, S1P3, S1P4, S1P5, widely expressed in different cells, tissues and organs. In the cardiovascular system these receptors have been extensively studied, but no drug acting on them has been approved so far for treating cardiovascular diseases. In contrast, a number of S1P receptor agonists are approved as immunomodulators, mainly for multiple sclerosis, because of their action on lymphocyte trafficking. This chapter summarizes the available information on S1P receptors in the cardiovascular system and discusses their potential for treating cardiovascular conditions and/or their role on the clinical pharmacology of drugs so far approved for non-cardiovascular conditions. Basic research has recently produced data useful to understand the molecular pharmacology of S1P and S1P receptors, regarding biased agonism, S1P storage, release and vehiculation and chaperoning by lipoproteins, paracrine actions, intracellular non-receptorial S1P actions. On the other hand, the approval of fingolimod and newer generation S1P receptor ligands as immunomodulators, provides information on a number of clinical observations on the impact of these drugs on cardiovascular system which need to be integrated with preclinical data. S1P receptors are potential targets for prevention and treatment of major cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To better define the metabolism of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), its transport in plasma and its interactions with S1P receptors on vascular cells, and to evaluate the effect of statin treatment on the subnormal plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-bound S1P characteristic of the atherogenic dyslipidemia of metabolic syndrome (MetS). RECENT FINDINGS Neither clinical intervention trials targeted to raising high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels nor human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) studies have provided evidence to support an atheroprotective role of HDL. Recently however a large monogenic univariable Mendelian randomization on the N396S mutation in the gene encoding endothelial lipase revealed a causal protective effect of elevated HDL-C on coronary artery disease conferred by reduced enzyme activity. Given the complexity of the HDL lipidome and proteome, components of HDL other than cholesterol may in all likelihood contribute to such a protective effect. Among HDL lipids, S1P is a bioactive sphingolipid present in a small proportion of HDL particles (about 5%); indeed, S1P is preferentially enriched in small dense HDL3. As S1P is bound to apolipoprotein (apo) M in HDL, such enrichment is consistent with the elevated apoM concentration in HDL3. When HDL/apoM-bound S1P acts on S1P1 or S1P3 receptors in endothelial cells, potent antiatherogenic and vasculoprotective effects are exerted; those exerted by albumin-bound S1P at these receptors are typically weaker. When HDL/apoM-bound S1P binds to S1P2 receptors, proatherogenic effects may potentially be induced. Subnormal plasma levels of HDL-associated S1P are typical of dyslipidemic individuals at high cardiovascular risk and in patients with coronary heart disease. International Guidelines recommend statin treatment as first-line lipid lowering therapy in these groups. The cardiovascular benefits of statin therapy are derived primarily from reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, although minor contributions from pleiotropic actions cannot be excluded. Might statin treatment therefore normalize, directly or indirectly, the subnormal levels of S1P in dyslipidemic subjects at high cardiovascular risk? Our unpublished findings in the CAPITAIN study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01595828), involving a cohort of obese, hypertriglyceridemic subjects (n = 12) exhibiting the MetS, showed that pitavastatin calcium (4 mg/day) treatment for 180days was without effect on either total plasma or HDL-associated S1P levels, suggesting that statin-mediated improvement of endothelial function is not due to normalization of HDL-bound S1P. Statins may however induce the expression of S1P1 receptors in endothelial cells, thereby potentiating increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase response to HDL-bound S1P, with beneficial downstream vasculoprotective effects. SUMMARY Current evidence indicates that S1P in small dense HDL3 containing apoM exerts antiatherogenic effects and that statins exert vasculoprotective effects through activation of endothelial cell S1P1 receptors in response to HDL/apoM-bound S1P.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW As both a cholesterol acceptor and carrier in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is putatively atheroprotective. However, current pharmacological therapies to increase plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) concentration have paradoxically failed to prevent or reduce atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Given that free cholesterol (FC) transfer between surfaces of lipoproteins and cells is reversible, excess plasma FC can be transferred to the cells of peripheral tissue sites resulting in atherosclerosis. Here, we summarize potential mechanisms contributing to this paradox and highlight the role of excess free cholesterol (FC) bioavailability in atherosclerosis vs. atheroprotection. RECENT FINDINGS Recent findings have established a complex relationship between HDL-c concentration and atherosclerosis. Systemic scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) knock out (KO) mice exhibit with increased diet-induced atherosclerosis despite having an elevated plasma HDL-c concentration compared to wild type (WT) mice. The greater bioavailability of HDL-FC in SR-B1 vs. WT mice is associated with a higher FC content in multiple cell types and tissue sites. These results suggest that dysfunctional HDL with high FC bioavailability is atheroprone despite high HDL-c concentration. Past oversimplification of HDL-c involvement in cholesterol transport has led to the failures in HDL targeted therapy. Evidence suggests that FC-mediated functionality of HDL is of higher importance than its quantity; as a result, deciphering the regulatory mechanisms by which HDL-FC bioavailability can induce atherosclerosis can have far-reaching clinical implications.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the levels of serum HDL-associated apolipoproteins (apoM and apoC) and HDL-binding receptor (scavenger receptor BI, SR-BI) in patients with gram-negative bacteria sepsis (G-sepsis) and to evaluate the value of lipoproteins in the diagnosis, severity and prognosis of G-sepsis. Patients and Methods A total of 128 patients with sepsis, 40 patients with system inflammatory reaction syndrome (SIRS) and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled in the Second People’s Hospital of Hunan Province from September 2019 to September 2020. The levels and the correlation of lipoproteins were detected and dynamically monitored by enzyme-linked adsorption method, ROC curve for the diagnostic, severity and prognostic value of lipoproteins in G-sepsis. Results The levels of serum HDL-associated lipoproteins in patients with G-sepsis were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the ROC curve showed that HDL-C, SR-BI, apoM and apoC had cut-off values of 0.915 mmol/L, 122.100 pg/mL, 102.400 ug/mL and 17.55 mg/mL, respectively, for the diagnosis of G-sepsis, with the sensitivity was 85.56%, 97.78%, 93.33% and 73.03%, and the specificity was 95.0%, 82.50%, 61.54% and 82.50%, respectively. There was a correlation between HDL-associated apolipoproteins. Changes in serum HDL-associated lipoproteins were more obvious in shock group than classic inflammation indicators, such as PCT, IL-6 and CRP. They showed a trend change on day 3, with the levels of SR-BI and apoC changing 2–3 times, and the sensitivity of HDL-C, SR-BI, apoM and apoC for the diagnosis of G-septic shock were 32.43%, 72.97%, 65.75%, and 43.24%, and specificity of 94.34%, 81.13%, 83.07%, and 86.79%, respectively. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of apoM combined with SR-BI were improved. Conclusion HDL-associated lipoproteins were correlated with bacterial-infected types, and serum levels of HDL-associated lipoproteins can be used as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and progress of G-sepsis. ApoM combined with SR-BI could improve the sensitivity and specificity of prognosis assessment.

Abstract
Multiple beneficial cardiovascular effects of HDL depend on sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P associates with HDL by binding to apolipoprotein M (ApoM). Insulin resistance is a major driver of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk. However, the mechanisms linking alterations in insulin signaling with plasma lipoprotein metabolism are incompletely understood. The insulin-repressible FoxO transcription factors mediate key effects of hepatic insulin action on glucose and lipoprotein metabolism. This work tested whether hepatic insulin signaling regulates HDL-S1P and aimed to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. We report that insulin-resistant, nondiabetic individuals had decreased HDL-S1P levels, but no change in total plasma S1P. This also occurred in insulin-resistant db/db mice, which had low ApoM and a specific reduction of S1P in the HDL fraction, with no change in total plasma S1P levels. Using mice lacking hepatic FoxOs (L-FoxO1,3,4), we found that hepatic FoxOs were required for ApoM expression. Total plasma S1P levels were similar to those in controls, but S1P was nearly absent from HDL and was instead increased in the lipoprotein-depleted plasma fraction. This phenotype was restored to normal by rescuing ApoM in L-FoxO1,3,4 mice. Our findings show that insulin resistance in humans and mice is associated with decreased HDL-associated S1P. Our study shows that hepatic FoxO transcription factors are regulators of the ApoM/S1P pathway.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal disease pathologically typified by motor and cortical neurodegeneration as well as microgliosis. The FUS P525L mutation is highly penetrant and causes ALS cases with earlier disease onset and more aggressive progression. To date, how P525L mutations may affect microglia during ALS pathogenesis had not been explored. In this study, we engineered isogenic control and P525L mutant FUS in independent human iPSC lines and differentiated them into microglia-like cells. We report that the P525L mutation causes FUS protein to mislocalize from the nucleus to cytoplasm. Homozygous P525L mutations perturb the transcriptome profile in which many differentially expressed genes are associated with microglial functions. Specifically, the dysregulation of several chemoreceptor genes leads to altered chemoreceptor-activated calcium signaling. However, other microglial functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine release are not significantly affected. Our study underscores the cell-autonomous effects of the ALS-linked FUS P525L mutation in a human microglia model. FUS P525L mutation causes FUS protein mislocalization in human microglia-like cells Homozygous P525L mutations perturb transcriptome profile of microglia-like cells Dysregulated chemoreceptor genes lead to altered chemoreceptor calcium signaling Effects of homozygous P525L occur cell-autonomously in this human microglia model

Abstract
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are heterogeneous lipoproteins that modify their composition and functionality depending on physiological or pathological conditions. The main roles of HDL are cholesterol efflux, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions. These functions can be compromised under pathological conditions. HDLs play a role in the immune system as anti-inflammatory molecules but when inflammation occurs, HDLs change their composition and carry pro-inflammatory cargo. Hence, many molecular intermediates that influence inflammatory microenvironments and cell signaling pathways can modulate HDLs structural modification and function. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the importance of HDL composition and anti-inflammatory function in the onset and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, immune cell activation during progression of atheroma plaque formation can be influenced by HDLs through HDL-derived cholesterol depletion from lipid rafts and through HDL interaction with HDL receptors expressed on T and B lymphocytes. Cholesterol efflux is mediated by HDL receptors located in lipid rafts in peripheral cells, which undergo membrane structural modifications, and interferes with subsequent molecules interactions or intracellular signaling cascades. Regarding antigen-presentation cells such as macrophages or dendritic cells, HDL function may then modulate lymphocytes activation in immune response. Our review also contributes to the understanding of the effects exerted by HDLs in signal transduction associated to our immune cell population during chronic diseases progression.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are a heterogeneous class of lipids and essential components of the plasma membrane and plasma lipoproteins. Studies have shown that plasma deoxysphingolipid (DSL), a newly identified sphingolipid class, is increased in diabetic patients and associated with diabetic neuropathy. However, it remains unknown if there is a causal relationship between plasma DSL increase and diabetic neuropathy. Since matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in diabetic neuropathy by degrading extracellular matrix in the peripheral nervous system, we investigated the effect of DSLs on the expression of MMPs and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMPs), and cytotoxicity in human Schwann cells. We quantified protein secretion, gene expression, and collagenase activity, and performed cytotoxicity assays. Results showed that DSLs upregulated MMP-1, downregulated TIMP-1, and induced cytotoxicity in Schwann cells. Furthermore, we quantified DSLs in VLDL, LDL, HDL2, and HDL3 isolated from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with or without neuropathy. Interestingly, lipidomic analysis showed that only HDL2 isolated from T2DM patients with neuropathy contains significantly higher level of DSLs than that isolated from T2DM patients without neuropathy. Additionally, results showed that HDL2 isolated from T2DM patients with neuropathy was more potent than that isolated from T2DM patients without neuropathy in upregulating MMP-1, downregulating TIMP-1, and stimulating collagenase activity in Schwann cell. Taken together, this study demonstrated for the first time a potential causal relationship between DSLs and diabetic neuropathy and that DSL-containing HDL2 from T2DM patients with neuropathy was more potent than that from T2DM patients without neuropathy in stimulating collagenase activity.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium serves as a barrier between the intravascular and extravascular compartments. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) have two kinds of interactions with this barrier. First, bloodborne HDL must pass the endothelium to access extravascular tissues, for example the arterial wall or the brain, to mediate cholesterol efflux from macrophages and other cells or exert other functions. To complete reverse cholesterol transport, HDL must even pass the endothelium a second time to re-enter circulation via the lymphatics. Transendothelial HDL transport is a regulated process involving scavenger receptor SR-BI, endothelial lipase, and ATP binding cassette transporters A1 and G1. Second, HDL helps to maintain the integrity of the endothelial barrier by (i) promoting junction closure as well as (ii) repair by stimulating the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and their progenitor cells, and by preventing (iii) loss of glycocalix, (iv) apoptosis, as well as (v) transmigration of inflammatory cells. Additional vasoprotective functions of HDL include (vi) the induction of nitric oxide (NO) production and (vii) the inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. These vasoprotective functions are exerted by the interactions of HDL particles with SR-BI as well as specific agonists carried by HDL, notably sphingosine-1-phophate (S1P), with their specific cellular counterparts, e.g., S1P receptors. Various diseases modify the protein and lipid composition and thereby the endothelial functionality of HDL. Thorough understanding of the structure-function relationships underlying the multiple interactions of HDL with endothelial cells is expected to elucidate new targets and strategies for the treatment or prevention of various diseases.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate as a key player of insulin secretion induced by high-density lipoprotein treatment. Physiol Rep 2021; 9:e14786. [PMID: 33769715 PMCID: PMC7995544 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.14786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
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
The founding member of the lipoprotein receptor family, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) plays a major role in the atherogenesis through the receptor-mediated endocytosis of LDL particles and regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. Since the discovery of the LDLR, many other structurally and functionally related receptors have been identified, which include low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)1, LRP5, LRP6, very low-density lipoprotein receptor, and apolipoprotein E receptor 2. The scavenger receptor family members, on the other hand, constitute a family of pattern recognition proteins that are structurally diverse and recognize a wide array of ligands, including oxidized LDL. Among these are cluster of differentiation 36, scavenger receptor class B type I and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1. In addition to the initially assigned role as a mediator of the uptake of macromolecules into the cell, a large number of studies in cultured cells and in in vivo animal models have revealed that these lipoprotein receptors participate in signal transduction to modulate cellular functions. This review highlights the signalling pathways by which these receptors influence the process of atherosclerosis development, focusing on their roles in the vascular cells, such as macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and platelets. Human genetics of the receptors is also discussed to further provide the relevance to cardiovascular disease risks in humans. Further knowledge of the vascular biology of the lipoprotein receptors and their ligands will potentially enhance our ability to harness the mechanism to develop novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies against cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background Inflammation participates pivotally in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated plasma protein that affects HDL metabolism and shows various anti-inflammatory functions in atherosclerosis. In this study, we aim to determine whether apoM is expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and promoted the anti-inflammatory effect of HDL by combing with scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI). Methods The expression of apoM in PBMCs is detected by a confocal fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. The interactions between apoM and SR-BI are detected with co-immunoprecipitation. The multiplexed Luminex xMAP assay detects the inflammatory factors induced by apoM+ HDL and apoM– HDL in inflammatory cell model. Results ApoM is expressed on CD14+ monocytes, CD3+ T cells, and CD19+ B cells, CD16+ and CD56+ NK cells. CD14+ monocytes have the highest ratio of apoM+ cells. ApoM+ HDL, apoM– HDL, and recombinant apoM protein could be co-precipitated with SR-BI on the surface of human THP-1 monocytic leukemia cells. In vitro, apoM+ HDL induces significantly less expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β than apoM– HDL. Conclusions ApoM was expressed on all PBMCs. ApoM interacted with SR-BI on THP-1. ApoM+ HDL has a more significant anti-inflammatory effect than apoM– HDL.

Abstract
Animal fats are considered to be unhealthy, in contrast to vegetable fats, which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. However, the use of some fats, such as coconut oil, is still controversial. In our experiment, we divided experimental animals (domestic pigs) into three groups differing only in the type of fat used in the diet: group R: rapeseed oil (n = 5); group B: beef tallow (n = 5); group C: coconut oil (n = 6). After transcriptomic analysis of liver samples, we identified 188, 93, and 53 DEGs (differentially expressed genes) in R vs. B, R vs. C, and B vs. C comparisons, respectively. Next, we performed a functional analysis of identified DEGs with String and IPA software. We observed the enrichment of genes engaged in the unfolded protein response (UPR) and the acute phase response among genes upregulated in B compared to R. In contrast, cholesterol biosynthesis and cholesterol efflux enrichments were observed among genes downregulated in B when compared to R. Moreover, activation of the UPR and inhibition of the sirtuin signaling pathway were noted in C when compared to R. The most striking difference in liver transcriptomic response between C and B was the activation of the acute phase response and inhibition of bile acid synthesis in the latest group. Our results suggest that excessive consumption of animal fats leads to the activation of a cascade of mutually propelling processes harmful to the liver: inflammation, UPR, and imbalances in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and bile acids via altered organelle membrane composition. Nevertheless, these studies should be extended with analysis at the level of proteins and their function.

Abstract
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a metabolic product of cell membrane sphingolipids, is bound to extracellular chaperones, is enriched in circulatory fluids, and binds to G protein-coupled S1P receptors (S1PRs) to regulate embryonic development, postnatal organ function, and disease. S1PRs regulate essential processes such as adaptive immune cell trafficking, vascular development, and homeostasis. Moreover, S1PR signaling is a driver of multiple diseases. The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in this field, in part because of multidisciplinary research focused on this lipid mediator and the application of S1PR-targeted drugs in clinical medicine. This has revealed fundamental principles of lysophospholipid mediator signaling that not only clarify the complex and wide ranging actions of S1P but also guide the development of therapeutics and translational directions in immunological, cardiovascular, neurological, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases.

Abstract
Most of the biological impacts of Vitamin E, including the redox effects, have been raised from studies with α-tocopherol only, despite the fact that tocopherol-containing foods carry mixed tocopherol isomers. Here, we investigated the cellular mechanisms involved in the immediate antioxidant responses evoked by α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol in Caco-2 cells. In order to track the cytosolic redox impact, we performed imaging on cells expressing HyPer, a fluorescent redox biosensor, while cytosolic calcium fluctuations were monitored by means of Fura-2 dye and imaging. With this approach, we could observe fast cellular responses evoked by the addition of α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol at concentrations as low as 2.5 μM. Each isomer induced rapid and consistent increases in cytosolic calcium with fast kinetics, which were affected by chelation of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that tocopherols promoted a calcium entry upon the contact with the plasma membrane. In terms of redox effects, δ-tocopherol was the only isomer that evoked a significant change in the HyPer signal at 5 μM. By mimicking Ca2+ entry with ionomycin and monensin, a decline in the HyPer signal was induced as well. Finally, by silencing calcium with 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, none of the isomers were able to induce redox changes. Altogether, our data indicate that an elevation in cytoplasmic Ca2+ is necessary for the development of a tocopherol-induced antioxidant impact on the cytoplasm of Caco-2 cells reported by HyPer biosensor.

Abstract
Objective- Aim of this study was to evaluate changes in LCAT (lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase) concentration and activity in patients with an acute coronary syndrome, to investigate if these changes are related to the compromised capacity of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) to promote endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production, and to assess if rhLCAT (recombinant human LCAT) can rescue the defective vasoprotective HDL function. Approach and Results- Thirty ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients were enrolled, and plasma was collected at hospital admission, 48 and 72 hours thereafter, at hospital discharge, and at 30-day follow-up. Plasma LCAT concentration and activity were measured and related to the capacity of HDL to promote NO production in cultured endothelial cells. In vitro studies were performed in which STEMI patients' plasma was added with rhLCAT and HDL vasoprotective activity assessed by measuring NO production in endothelial cells. The plasma concentration of the LCAT enzyme significantly decreases during STEMI with a parallel significant reduction in LCAT activity. HDL isolated from STEMI patients progressively lose the capacity to promote NO production by endothelial cells, and the reduction is related to decreased LCAT concentration. In vitro incubation of STEMI patients' plasma with rhLCAT restores HDL ability to promote endothelial NO production, possibly related to significant modification in HDL phospholipid classes. Conclusions- Impairment of cholesterol esterification may be a major factor in the HDL dysfunction observed during acute coronary syndrome. rhLCAT is able to restore HDL-mediated NO production in vitro, suggesting LCAT as potential therapeutic target for restoring HDL functionality in acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are key signaling molecules involved in the regulation of cell physiology. These species are found in tissues and in circulation. Although they only constitute a small fraction in lipid composition of circulating lipoproteins, their concentration in plasma and distribution among plasma lipoproteins appears distorted under adverse cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), one of their main representatives, is involved in regulating cardiomyocyte homeostasis in different models of experimental cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and represents a main risk factor for heart failure. Notably, plasma concentration of S1P, particularly high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-bound S1P, may be decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus, and hence, inversely related to cardiac alterations. Despite this, little attention has been given to the circulating levels of either total S1P or HDL-bound S1P as potential biomarkers of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Thus, this review will focus on the potential role of HDL-bound S1P as a circulating biomarker in the diagnosis of main cardiometabolic complications frequently associated with systemic metabolic syndromes with impaired insulin signaling. Given the bioactive nature of these molecules, we also evaluated its potential of HDL-bound S1P-raising strategies for the treatment of cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1 ) modulators sequester circulating lymphocytes within lymph nodes, thereby preventing potentially pathogenic autoimmune cells from exiting into the blood stream and reaching inflamed tissues. S1P1 receptor modulation may thus offer potential to treat various autoimmune diseases. The first nonselective S1P1-5 receptor modulator FTY720/fingolimod/Gilenya® has successfully demonstrated clinical efficacy in relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. However, cardiovascular, hepatic, and respiratory side-effects were reported and there is a need for novel S1P1 receptor modulators with better safety profiles. Here, we describe the discovery of cenerimod, a novel, potent and selective S1P1 receptor modulator with unique S1P1 receptor signaling properties and absence of broncho- and vasoconstrictor effects ex vivo and in vivo. Cenerimod dose-dependently lowered circulating lymphocyte counts in rats and mice after oral administration and effectively attenuated disease parameters in a mouse experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) model.

Abstract
Cholesterol is required for maintenance of plasma membrane fluidity and integrity and for many cellular functions. Cellular cholesterol can be obtained from lipoproteins in a selective pathway of HDL-cholesteryl ester (CE) uptake without parallel apolipoprotein uptake. Scavenger receptor B type 1 (SR-B1) is a cell surface HDL receptor that mediates HDL-CE uptake. It is most abundantly expressed in liver, where it provides cholesterol for bile acid synthesis, and in steroidogenic tissues, where it delivers cholesterol needed for storage or steroidogenesis in rodents. SR-B1 transcription is regulated by trophic hormones in the adrenal gland, ovary, and testis; in the liver and elsewhere, SR-B1 is subject to posttranscriptional and posttranslational regulation. SR-B1 operates in several metabolic processes and contributes to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, inflammation, hepatitis C virus infection, and other conditions. Here, we summarize characteristics of the selective uptake pathway and involvement of microvillar channels as facilitators of selective HDL-CE uptake. We also present the potential mechanisms of SR-B1-mediated selective cholesterol transport; the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational regulation of SR-B1; and the impact of gene variants on expression and function of human SR-B1. A better understanding of this unique pathway and SR-B1's role may yield improved therapies for a wide variety of conditions.

Abstract
The cardioprotective lipoprotein HDL (high-density lipoprotein) prevents myocardial infarction and cardiomyocyte death due to ischemia/reperfusion injury. The scavenger receptor class B, type 1 (SR-B1) is a high-affinity HDL receptor and has been shown to mediate HDL-dependent lipid transport as well as signaling in a variety of different cell types. The contribution of SR-B1 in cardiomyocytes to the protective effects of HDL on cardiomyocyte survival following ischemia has not yet been studied. Here, we use a model of simulated ischemia (oxygen and glucose deprivation, OGD) to assess the mechanistic involvement of SR-B1, PI3K (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase), and AKT in HDL-mediated protection of cardiomyocytes from cell death. Neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes and immortalized human ventricular cardiomyocytes, subjected to OGD for 4 h, underwent substantial cell death due to necrosis but not necroptosis or apoptosis. Pretreatment of cells with HDL, but not low-density lipoprotein, protected them against OGD-induced necrosis. HDL-mediated protection was lost in cardiomyocytes from SR-B1-/- mice or when SR-B1 was knocked down in human immortalized ventricular cardiomyocytes. HDL treatment induced the phosphorylation of AKT in cardiomyocytes in an SR-B1-dependent manner. Finally, chemical inhibition of PI3K or AKT or silencing of either AKT1 or AKT2 gene expression abolished HDL-mediated protection against OGD-induced necrosis of cardiomyocytes. These results are the first to identify a role of SR-B1 in mediating the protective effects of HDL against necrosis in cardiomyocytes, and to identify AKT activation downstream of SR-B1 in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Sphingolipids, sphingolipid metabolizing enzymes, and their receptors network are being recognized as part of the signaling mechanisms, which govern breast cancer cell growth, migration, and survival during chemotherapy treatment. Approximately 70% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor (ER) positive and, thus, rely on estrogen signaling. Estrogen activates an intracellular network composed of many cytoplasmic and nuclear mediators. Some estrogen effects can be mediated by sphingolipids. Estrogen activates sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and amplifies the intracellular concentration of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in breast cancer cells during stimulation of proliferation and survival. Specifically, Estrogen activates S1P receptors (S1PR) and induces growth factor receptor transactivation. SphK, S1P, and S1PR expression are causally associated with endocrine resistance and progression to advanced tumor stages in ER-positive breast cancers in vivo. Recently, the network of SphK/S1PR was shown to promote the development of ER-negative cancers and breast cancer stem cells, as well as stimulating angiogenesis. Novel findings confirm and broaden our knowledge about the cross-talk between sphingolipids and estrogen network in normal and malignant cells. Current S1PRs therapeutic inhibition was indicated as a promising chemotherapy approach in non-responsive and advanced malignancies. Considering that sphingolipid signaling has a prominent role in terminally differentiated cells, the impact should be considered when designing specific SphK/S1PR inhibitors. This study analyzes the dynamic of the transformation of sphingolipid axis during a transition from normal to pathological condition on the level of the whole organism. The sphingolipid-based mediation and facilitation of global effects of estrogen were critically accented as a bridging mechanism that should be explored in cancer prevention.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a widely used chemotherapeutic with deleterious cardiotoxic side effects. HDL has been shown to protect cardiomyocytes in vitro against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1), a high-affinity HDL receptor, mediates cytoprotective signaling by HDL through Akt. Here, we assessed whether increased HDL levels protect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo and in cardiomyocytes in culture and explored the intracellular signaling mechanisms involved, particularly the role of SR-B1. Transgenic mice with increased HDL levels through overexpression of human apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1Tg/Tg) and wild-type mice (apoA1+/+) with normal HDL levels were treated repeatedly with doxorubicin. After treatment, apoA1+/+ mice displayed cardiac dysfunction, as evidenced by reduced left ventricular end-systolic pressure and +dP/d t, and histological analysis revealed cardiomyocyte atrophy and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis after doxorubicin treatment. In contrast, apoA1Tg/Tg mice were protected against doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocyte atrophy and apoptosis. When SR-B1 was knocked out, however, overexpression of apoA1 did not protect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Using primary neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes and human immortalized ventricular cardiomyocytes in combination with genetic knockout, inhibitors, or siRNA-mediated knockdown, we demonstrated that SR-B1 is required for HDL-mediated protection of cardiomyocytes against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in vitro via a pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt1/2. Our findings provide proof of concept that raising apoA1 to supraphysiological levels can dramatically protect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via a pathway that is mediated by SR-B1 and involves Akt1/2 activation in cardiomyocytes. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We have identified an important role for the scavenger receptor class B type 1 in facilitating high-density lipoprotein-mediated protection of cardiomyocytes against stress-induced apoptosis and shown that increasing plasma high-density lipoprotein protects against the deleterious side effects of the chemotherapeutic and cardiotoxic drug doxorubicin.

Abstract
The HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) plays crucial roles in cholesterol homeostasis, lipoprotein metabolism, and atherosclerosis. Hepatic SR-BI mediates reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) by the uptake of HDL cholesterol for routing to the bile. Through the selective uptake of HDL lipids, hepatic SR-BI modulates HDL composition and preserves HDL's atheroprotective functions of mediating cholesterol efflux and minimizing inflammation and oxidation. Macrophage and endothelial cell SR-BI inhibits the development of atherosclerosis by mediating cholesterol trafficking to minimize atherosclerotic lesion foam cell formation. SR-BI signaling also helps limit inflammation and cell death and mediates efferocytosis of apoptotic cells in atherosclerotic lesions thereby preventing vulnerable plaque formation. SR-BI is emerging as a multifunctional therapeutic target to reduce atherosclerosis development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is classically known for its role in antiatherogenic reverse cholesterol transport as it selectively takes up cholesterol esters from HDL. Here, we have highlighted recent literature that describes novel functions for SR-BI in physiology and disease. RECENT FINDINGS A large population-based study has revealed that patients heterozygous for the P376L mutant form of SR-BI showed significantly increased levels of plasma HDL-cholesterol and had increased risk of cardiovascular disease, demonstrating that SR-BI in humans is a significant determinant of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, SR-BI has been shown to modulate the susceptibility to LPS-induced tissue injury and the ability of sphingosine 1 phosphate to interact with its receptor, linking SR-BI to the regulation of inflammation. In addition, important domains within the molecule (Trp-415) as well as novel regulators (procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer protein 2) of SR-BI's selective uptake function have recently been identified. Moreover, relatively high expression levels of the SR-BI protein have been observed in a variety of cancer tissues, which is associated with a reduced overall survival rate. SUMMARY The HDL receptor SR-BI is a potential therapeutic target not only in the cardiovascular disease setting, but also in inflammatory conditions as well as in cancer.
