Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia raises the risk for cardiovascular complications and overall health. Hypercholesterolemia is common, affecting 10% of the general population of the US, and heritable. Most individuals with hypercholesterolemia have a polygenic predisposition to the condition. Previously we identified a quantitative trait locus, Tachol1, linked to hypercholesterolemia on mouse chromosome 1 (Chr1) in a cross between C57BL/6J (B6) and TALLYHO/JngJ (TH) mice, a polygenic model for human obesity, type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Subsequently, using congenic mice that carry a TH-derived genomic segment of Chr1 on a B6 background, we demonstrated that the distal segment of Chr1, where Tachol1 maps, is necessary to cause hypercholesterolemia, as well as diet-induced obesity. In this study, we generated overlapping subcongenic lines to the distal segment of congenic region and characterized subcongenic mice carrying the smallest TH region of Tachol1, ~ 16.2 Mb in size (B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb). Both male and female B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice showed a significantly increased plasma total cholesterol levels compared to B6 on both chow and high fat (HF) diet. B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice also had greater fat mass than B6 on HF diet, without increasing food intake. The gene and protein expression levels of absent in melanoma 2 (Aim2) gene were significantly upregulated in B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice compared to B6. In summary, we confirmed the effect of Tachol1 on hypercholesterolemia and diet-induced obesity using subcongenic analysis.

Extracellular vesicle-derived miR-146a as a novel crosstalk mechanism for high-fat induced atherosclerosis by targeting SMAD4. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00355-2. [PMID: 39127099 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.08.012] [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: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Exosome-miR-146a is significantly increased in patients with Atherosclerosis (AS), but its mechanism and effect on AS have not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVES To explore the change rule and mechanism of exosomes release, and the role and molecular mechanism of exosome-miR-146a in AS. METHODS We isolated and identified exosomes from THP-1 macrophages after treating them with ox-LDL. Then used co-immunoprecipitation and silver staining to identify the proteins involved in regulating exosome release. PKH67 was used to label exosomes to confirm that cells can absorb them, and then co-culture with HVSMCs for cell proliferation and migration detection. The target genes of miR-146a were screened and identified through bioinformatics and luciferase activity assay, and the expression of miR-146a and related proteins was detected through qRT-PCR and Western blot in HUVECs. An AS model in LDLR-/- mice induced by a high-fat diet was developed to investigate the impact of exosome-miR-146a on AS. RESULTS The results showed that experimental foam cells from AS showed higher expression of miR-146a. It was observed that NMMHC IIA and HSP70 interacted to regulate the release of exosomes. And HUVECs can absorb exosomes derived from macrophages. In addition, we also found that miR-146a directly targeted the SMAD4 gene to modulate the p38 MAPK signaling pathway, thereby mediating HUVECs damage. Furthermore, exosome-miR-146a induced abnormal proliferation and migration of HVSMCs. The expression of miR-146a was significantly reduced in miR-146a-mimics mice and increased in miR-146a inhibitor mice whereas the inhibition of miR-146a effectively reduced while increasing miR-146a worsened AS in mice. CONCLUSION Our findings expressed the potential of miR-146a as a favorable therapeutic target for AS, however, further exploration is suggestive for deep understanding of the mechanisms regulating exosome-miR-146a release in vivo and to develop effective therapeutic strategies involving miR-146a.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A strong link has been established between psoriasis and lipid disturbances; however, no study has systematically examined their global epidemiology. METHODS We searched six databases from their inception up to October 1, 2023. Data analysis was conducted using Stata SE 15.1. We performed subgroup, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses to assess the heterogeneity of the pooled studies. RESULTS Our review included 239 studies comprising 15,519,570 participants. The pooled prevalence rate of dyslipidemia among individuals with psoriasis was 38 %. CONCLUSION Patients with severe psoriasis should undergo screening for lipid abnormalities. This can facilitate the early detection of lipid dysfunction and associated cardiovascular comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW An increasing amount of research has underscored the significant role of lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This comprehensive review examines the intricate relationship between lipoprotein abnormalities and the development of MAFLD. RECENT FINDINGS Atherogenic dyslipidemia seen in insulin resistance states play a significant role in initiating and exacerbating hepatic lipid accumulation. There are also specific genetic factors ( PNPLA3 , TM6SF2 , MBOAT7 , HSD17B13 , GCKR- P446L) and transcription factors (SREBP-2, FXR, and LXR9) that increase susceptibility to both lipoprotein disorders and MAFLD. Most monogenic primary lipid disorders do not cause hepatic steatosis unless accompanied by metabolic stress. Hepatic steatosis occurs in the presence of secondary systemic metabolic stress in conjunction with predisposing environmental factors that lead to insulin resistance. Identifying specific aberrant lipoprotein metabolic factors promoting hepatic fat accumulation and subsequently exacerbating steatohepatitis will shed light on potential targets for therapeutic interventions. SUMMARY The clinical implications of interconnection between genetic factors and an insulin resistant environment that predisposes MAFLD is many fold. Potential therapeutic strategies in preventing or mitigating MAFLD progression include lifestyle modifications, pharmacological interventions, and emerging therapies targeting aberrant lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of new glucose-lowering agents on cardiovascular disease have been demonstrated in randomized clinical trials. However, more evidence is required to assess the additive value of a combined therapy based on sodium-glucose transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1ra) in a real-world population. METHODS A nonconcurrent prospective study was conducted using integrated electronic medical records from primary care and hospitals obtained through "big data" technologies in a healthy area in Galicia. The study involved patients who were given SGLT2i, GLP1ra, or both treatments between January 2018 and June 2022 and were categorized as either mono- or combined therapy (SGLT2i, GLP1ra, or both). The cumulative risk for different events: hospitalization or mortality, or both, for 1) coronary artery disease, 2) heart failure, 3) cerebrovascular accident, and all-cause mortality were represented by Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression analysis to obtain the hazard ratio (HR) and (95% confidence interval [CI]). Validation was performed in a subpopulation with propensity score matching. RESULTS The patients (15,549) who were included were median (standard deviation) 68 (12) years old, with 41% of them being female and 46% experiencing obesity. The median (interquartile range) of follow-up was 19 (8-33) months. The Kaplan-Meier analysis determined that the cumulative risk for coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular accident events was similar among the 3 different therapy groups. However, the combined therapy vs SGLT2i reduced the risk of heart failure events (HR 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56-0.87) or all-cause mortality (HR 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54-0.86). Multivariate Cox regression analysis, after matching with a propensity score, confirmed the benefits of combined therapy regarding SGLT2i or GLP1ra monotherapy. CONCLUSION Compared with SGLT2i or GLP1ra alone, combined therapy SGLT2i + GLP1ra reduces heart failure risk and all-cause mortality in a real-world population.

Abstract
In healthcare, weight is often equated to and used as a marker for health. In examining nutrition and health status, there are many more effective markers independent of weight. In this article, we review practical and emerging clinical applications of technologies and tools used to collect non-weight-related data in nutrition assessment, monitoring, and evaluation in the outpatient setting. The aim is to provide clinicians with new ideas about various types of data to evaluate and track in nutrition care.

Associations of ACE I/D and AGTR1 rs5182 polymorphisms with diabetes and their effects on lipids in an elderly Chinese population. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:231. [PMID: 39080710 PMCID: PMC11290002 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02222-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is generally accompanied by dyslipidaemia, but inconsistent relationships between lipid profiles and diabetes are noted. Moreover, genetic variations in insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms at angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE) and T/C polymorphisms in the angiotensin type 1 receptor gene (AGTR1) are related to diabetes and lipid levels, but the associations are controversial. Thus, the current research aimed to explore the effects of ACE I/D, AGTR1 rs5182 and diabetes mellitus on serum lipid profiles in 385 Chinese participants with an average age of 75.01 years. METHODS The ACE I/D variant was identified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, whereas the AGTR1 rs5182 polymorphism was identified using the PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and verified with DNA sequencing. Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), apolipoprotein A (ApoA), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were measured using routine methods, and the lipid ratios were calculated. RESULTS ACE I/D, but not AGTR1 rs5182, was a predictor of TG/HDL-C for the whole study population. Both ACE I/D and AGTR1 rs5182 were predictors of HDL-C and LDL-C levels in females but not in males. Moreover, in females, diabetes mellitus and ACE I/D were identified as predictors of TG and TG/HDL-C, whereas AGTR1 rs5182 and diabetes mellitus were predictors of TG/HDL-C. Moreover, diabetes mellitus and the combination of ACE I/D and AGTR1 rs5182 variations were predictors of TG and TG/HDL-C exclusively in females. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated the potential for gender-dependent interactions of ACE I/D, AGTR1 rs5182, and diabetes on lipid profiles. These findings may serve as an additional explanation for the inconsistent changes of blood lipids in individuals with diabetes mellitus, thereby offering a novel perspective for the clinical management of blood lipid levels in diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIMS We aim to investigate the association between vitamin A intake and depression among patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS In this cross-sectional study, data of HF patients were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2020. The independent variable was vitamin A intake, and the dependent variable was depression. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were performed to explore the association of vitamin A intake with depression in HF patients. A total of 999 HF patients were included, with a mean age of 66.19 (0.51) years, and 566 (52.49%) were male. And 197 patients have depression. Vitamin A intake ≥731.38 mcg was associated with lower incidence of depression [odds ratio (OR) = 0.37; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.18-0.76] in HF patients. Similarly, the relationship between high vitamin A intake and lower odds of depression were also observed in subgroups of those aged >65 years (OR = 0.16; 95% CI: 0.04-0.55), males (OR = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.14-0.86), without hypertension (OR = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.11-0.58), without diabetes (OR = 0.30; 95% CI: 0.11-0.78), with hyperlipidaemia (OR = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.09-0.64), and with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.13-0.80). CONCLUSIONS High vitamin A intake was associated with lower odds of depression in HF patients. Appropriate vitamin A supplementation may have potential benefit to the prevention of depression in HF patients. Additional prospective large-scale studies are required to confirm whether or not vitamin A could lead to decrease in depression symptoms.

Correlations of Serum Lipid Parameters and Atherogenic Indices With Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Among Apparently Healthy Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Multicenter In-Hospital Cross-Sectional Study. J Diabetes Res 2024; 2024:4078281. [PMID: 39035683 PMCID: PMC11260213 DOI: 10.1155/2024/4078281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: In adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, lipid ratios are predictors of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). However, whether this also applies to adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is unclear. This study is aimed at assessing the correlations of serum lipid parameters and atherogenic indices with LVDD in patients with T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 203 patients with T2DM aged 59.9 ± 13.6 years (111 males, sex ratio: 1 : 2 in favor of males) from eight randomly selected urban hospitals. Demographic information was collected, an anthropometric assessment was performed, and blood pressure was measured. Fasting blood samples were obtained to assess total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), glucose, and glycated hemoglobin. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), Castelli Risk Index I (CRI-I), Castelli Risk Index II (CRI-II), atherogenic coefficient, and non-HDL-C were determined using specific formulas. Diastolic function was assessed using echocardiography as per the 2016 updated guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). Results: Approximately 47.8% of the participants had LVDD. Compared with participants with normal diastolic function, those with LVDD were more likely to be older than 55 years (p < 0.001), tended to have obesity (p = 0.045), had a higher risk of developing dyslipidemia (p = 0.041), and higher AIP and CRI-II (p < 0.05) levels while having similar low HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia frequencies. In the multivariate model adjusting for age, high AIP (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-5.34) and high CRI-II (aOR: 3.80; 95% CI: 2.25-6.35) were independent determinants of LVDD. Conclusions: These results highlight the importance of considering atherogenic indices, primarily AIP and CRI-II in the management of T2DM patients. High AIP and high CRI-II could serve as surrogate markers of LVDD, an early cardiovascular manifestation in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether HIV-infected individuals versus individuals with HIV/HCV coinfection, in the era of interferon-free therapies, exhibit an increased incidence of comorbidities and non-AIDS-related events. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted by collecting data from clinical records of Spanish patients at a tertiary hospital involving HIV/HCV-coinfected and HIV-infected patients, all with effectively controlled HIV. Coinfected patients underwent HCV clearance using direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and had no history of interferon treatment. The incidences of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver disease, non-AIDS cancer, and death were compared between the groups. Multivariate adjustments for all factors potentially impacting outcomes were used to assess the risk of clinical event onset. Propensity score (PS) analyses were also conducted to support the multivariate model results. Results: Data were available from 229 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients and 229 HIV-infected patients. Both cohorts were comparable in terms of age, gender distribution, follow-up, and HIV-related characteristics. Multivariate models and PS showed that previous exposure to HCV was not associated with the onset of any clinical events studied. Significant differences between HIV/HCV-coinfected and HIV-infected were not found for survival according to the log-rank test (p = 0.402). Conclusions: Successful HCV elimination using DAAs improved the outlook regarding comorbidities and survival across HIV/HCV-coinfected cohorts. Early HCV detection and DAA therapy could enhance clinical results. These findings provide an optimistic perspective for those living with HIV/HCV coinfection and underscore the importance of continuing efforts toward early detection and DAA treatment initiation.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) constitutes the most common cause of death worldwide. In Europe alone, approximately 4 million people die annually due to CVD. The leading component of CVD leading to mortality is myocardial infarction (MI). MI is classified into several types. Type 1 is associated with atherosclerosis, type 2 results from inadequate oxygen supply to cardiomyocytes, type 3 is defined as sudden cardiac death, while types 4 and 5 are associated with procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting, respectively. Of particular note is type 1, which is also the most frequently occurring form of MI. Factors predisposing to its occurrence include, among others, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood, cigarette smoking, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). The primary objective of this review is to elucidate the issues with regard to type 1 MI. Our paper delves into, amidst other aspects, its pathogenesis, risk assessment, diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, and interventional treatment options in both acute and long-term conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting evidence revealed that an imbalance of Gut Microbiota (GM) leads to metabolic disorders. Synbiotics through regulation of GM composition can be an effective intervention in the management of metabolic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of multi-species synbiotic supplementation on serum interleukin10 (IL-10) and fecal Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) in patients with dyslipidemia. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, fifty-six adult men with dyslipidemia were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups and received either synbiotic or placebo powder twice a day for 12 weeks. Each synbiotic sachet contained 6 species of probiotic microorganisms with a total dose of 3 × 1010 Colony Forming Unit (CFU) and 5 gr inulin and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) as prebiotics. Blood and stool samples were collected at the baseline and end of the study. Dietary intake, physical activity, anthropometric measurements, serum IL-10, and fecal SCFAs were assessed before and after the intervention. RESULT There were no significant differences between the baseline characteristics of patients in the two groups. Serum IL-10 was increased in the synbiotic group (p < 0.0001). Moreover, synbiotic supplementation increased fecal concentration of acetate (p < 0.0001), butyrate (p = 0.043), propionate (p < 0.0001), and valerate (p < 0.026). A significant positive correlation was observed between the changes in fecal butyrate level and serum IL-10 concentration in the control group (r = 0.48, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A Twelve-week synbiotic supplementation increased fecal SCFAs and improved inflammation in adult men with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) occur due to the abnormal proliferation of one or more terminal myeloid cell lines in peripheral blood. Subjects suffering from MPNs display a high burden of cardiovascular risk factors, and thrombotic events are often the cause of death in this population of patients. Herein, we provide a brief overview of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome and their epidemiology in MPNs and examine the common molecular mechanisms between dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and MPNs, with a special focus on cardiovascular risk, atherosclerosis, and thrombotic events. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome on the occurrence and survival of thrombosis in MPN patients, as well as the management of dyslipidemia in MPNs, and the impact of MPN treatment on serum lipid concentrations, particularly as side/adverse effects reported in the context of clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Noise exposure in the workplace has been linked to a number of health consequences. Our objectives were to explore the relationship between occupational noise and lipid metabolism and evaluate the possible mediating effect of obesity indices in those relationships with a cross-sectional study design. METHODS Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was used to measure the level of noise exposure. Logistic regression models or generalized linear models were employed to evaluate the association of occupational noise and obesity with lipid metabolism markers. Cross-lagged analysis was conducted to explore temporal associations of obesity with lipid metabolism. RESULTS A total of 854 participants were included, with each one-unit increase in CNE, the values of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 0.013 (95% confidence interval: 0.006, 0.020) and 0.009 (0.004, 0.014), as well as the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased by 1.030 (1.013, 1.048). Occupational noise and lipid metabolism markers were all positively associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), a Body Shape Index (ABSI) and a Body Shape Index and Body Roundness Index (BRI) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, BMI, WC, ABSI and BRI could mediate the associations of occupational noise with lipid metabolism; the proportions ranged from 21.51 to 24.45%, 23.84 to 30.14%, 4.86 to 5.94% and 25.59 to 28.23%, respectively (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates a positive association between occupational noise and abnormal lipid metabolism, and obesity may partly mediate the association. Our findings reinforce the need to take practical steps to reduce or even eliminate the health risks associated with occupational noise.

Abstract
Pluchea dioscoridis (L.) DC. is a flowering wild plant used traditionally in the treatment of rhematic disorders. This study investigated the phytochemical and in vitro radical scavenging activity (RSA), and in vivo anti-hyperlipidemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of P. dioscoridis. The antihyperlipidemic efficacy was determined in a rat model of dyslipidemia. The extract and fractions of P. dioscoridis showed RSA with the ethyl acetate (EA) fraction exhibiting the most potent activity. The phytochemical analysis of P. dioscoridis EA fraction (PDEAF) led to the isolation of five compounds (lupeol, quercetin, lupeol acetate, stigmasterol, and syringic acid). To evaluate its anti-hyperlipidemic effect, three doses of PDEAF were supplemented to rats for 14 days and poloxamer-407 was administered on day 15 to induce dyslipidemia. All doses of PDEAF decreased plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (vLDL-C), and increased plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL). PDEAF upregulated hepatic LDL receptor and suppressed 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, decreased lipid peroxidation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and enhanced reduced glutathione (GSH) and enzymatic antioxidants in dyslipidmeic rats. In silico findings revealed the binding affinity of the isolated compounds towards LPL, HMG-CoA reductase, and LDL receptor. In conclusion, P. dioscoridis is rich in phytoconstituents, exhibited RSA and its EA fraction effectively prevented acute dyslipidemia and its associated oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

The study focused on exploring the effects of C. sinensis extract (CSE), G. inodorum extract (GIE), using alone and combined (COM) on ameliorating glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and obesity in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). The results revealed that the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and LDL-cholesterol (LDL) exhibited a significant decrease in all groups treated with CSE, GIE, and COM compared to the control (p < 0.05). Obviously, CSE plus GIE exhibited a synergistic effect on amelioration of OGTT, TC, TG, and LDL, which is also the first report. Furthermore, the extracts showed no toxicity in the mice's vital organs. These results suggest that CSE, GIE, and their combined could have the potential as complementary therapeutic approaches for managing hyperglycaemia and dyslipidemia.

Comparison between the Friedewald, Martin and Sampson Equations and LDL-C Quantification by Ultracentrifugation in a Mexican Population. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1241. [PMID: 38928656 PMCID: PMC11203376 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14121241] [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: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which makes up about 70% of the cholesterol in the blood, is critical in the formation of arteriosclerotic plaques, increasing the risk of heart disease. LDL-C levels are estimated using Friedewald, Martin and Sampson equations, though they have limitations with high triglycerides. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness of these equations versus the ultracentrifugation technique in individuals with and without dyslipidemia and identify precision. There were 113 participants, 59 healthy controls and 54 dyslipidemic patients. Samples were collected after fasting. LDL-C was estimated using the Friedewald, Martin and Sampson equations. The purified LDL-C, ultracentrifugated and dialysized control group without dyslipidemia vs. patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) showed differences in age, HDL-C, triglycerides and glucose non-HDL-C (p = 0.001 in all). There were correlations in CGWD between ultracentrifugation and Sampson R-squared (R2) = 0.791. In the dyslipidemia control group, ultracentrifugation and Friedewald R2 = 0.911. In patients with CAD, correlation between ultracentrifugation and Sampson R2 = 0.892; Bland-Altman confirmed agreement in controls without dyslipidemia. The Martin and Sampson equations are interchangeable with ultracentrifugation. Conclusion: The role of LDL analysis using precise techniques is necessary to obtain better control of disease outcomes after the use of precise therapies and suggests verifying its importance through clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Previous studies on the liner associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and lipid profiles revealed ambiguous findings. The current study therefore tried to elucidate the possible non-linear associations between 25(OH)D and lipid profiles. Methods This study involved 8,516 adult participants (aged 18-74 years, males N = 3,750, females N = 4,766) recruited from the Dalian health management cohort (DHMC). The risk (OR) for specific dyslipidemias was estimated across the serum 25(OH)D levels and the cut-off value for serum 25(OH)D were determined by using logistic regression, restricted cubic spline, and piecewise linear regression methods, adjusted for age, sex, season, and ultraviolet index. Results In this study, a high prevalence of 25(OH)D deficiency was observed in the participants (65.05%). The level of 25(OH)D showed the inverse U-shaped correlations with the risks (ORs) of abnormal lipid profile, with inflection points observed at 23.7 ng/ml for hypercholesterolemia, 24.3 ng/ml for hypertriglyceridemia, 18.5 ng/ml for hyper-low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, 23.3 ng/ml for hypo-high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, 23.3 ng/ml for hyper-non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and 24.3 ng/ml for high remnant cholesterol. The stratified analyses showed that the risk for most dyslipidemias related to deficiency of 25(OH)D was particularly increased among females aged 50-74 (except for hypertriglyceridemia, where the highest risk was among men aged 50-74 years), during winter/spring or under low/middle ultraviolet index environments. Conclusions Nonlinear inverse U-shaped associations were observed between 25(OH)D levels and abnormal lipid profile. The risk was particularly increased among females aged 50-74, during winter/spring period or under lower ultraviolet index environments. In vitamin D deficient subjects [25(OH)D <20 ng/ml], a positive association of serum vitamin D levels with the risk for dyslipidemia was observed, which needs a further.

Abstract
Pulses, as an important part of the human diet, can act as a source of high-quality plant proteins. Pulse proteins and their hydrolysates have shown promising results in alleviating metabolic syndrome and modulating the gut microbiome. Their bioactivities have become a focus of research, with many new findings added in recent studies. This paper comprehensively reviews the anti-hypertension, anti-hyperglycemia, anti-dyslipidemia and anti-obesity bioactivities of pulse proteins and their hydrolysates in recent in vitro and in vivo studies, which show great potential for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome. In addition, pulse proteins and their hydrolysates can regulate the gut microbiome, which in turn can have a positive impact on the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of some pulse proteins and their hydrolysates on metabolic syndrome have been supported by clinical studies. This review might provide a reference for the application of pulse proteins and their hydrolysates in functional foods or nutritional supplements for people with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reported prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the general population is variable. It ranges between 8.6 and 42% according to the population studied and the imaging technique used. We aim to prospectively assess the prevalence and characteristics of PFO and interatrial septum (IAS) abnormalities as well as the related clinical manifestations in a sample of Egyptian population. RESULTS This study comprised 1000 patients who were referred for CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Mean age was 52.5 ± 10.9 years. The prevalence of PFO among the studied population was 16.3%; closed PFO (grade I) 44.2%, open PFO (grade II) 50.9%, and open PFO with jet (grade III) 4.9%. Anatomical high-risk PFO features-defined as the presence of at least 2 or more of the following (diameter ≥ 2 mm, length ≥ 10 mm, septal aneurysm "ASA", or redundant septum)-were found in 51.5% of PFOs' population. Other IAS abnormalities as redundant septum (8.6%), ASA (5.3%), Bachmann's bundle (4.5%), microaneurysm (2.6%), and atrial septal defect (ASD) (0.4%) were detected. There was a lower rate of coexistence of ASA with PFO (p = 0.031). Syncope was significantly higher in patients with PFO compared to those without PFO (6.7% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.001). Stroke, transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), and dizziness were similar in both groups. TIA, dizziness, and syncope were significantly higher in patients with IAS abnormalities including PFO compared to those without IAS abnormalities. Syncope was also significantly higher in PFO with high-risk anatomical features compared to those with non-high-risk PFO population (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The prevalence of PFO in our study was approximately 16.3%, almost half of them showed anatomical high-risk features for stroke. Dizziness, syncope and TIA were significantly higher in patients with IAS abnormalities including PFO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are statements to assist practitioners and stakeholders in decisions about healthcare. Low methodological quality guidelines may prejudice decision-making and negatively affect clinical outcomes in non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases worsted by poor lipid management. We appraised the quality of CPGs on dyslipidemia management and synthesized the most updated pharmacological recommendations. METHODS A systematic review following international recommendations was performed. Searches to retrieve CPG on pharmacological treatments in adults with dyslipidaemia were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Trip databases. Eligible articles were assessed using AGREE II (methodological quality) and AGREE-REX (recommendation excellence) tools. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. The most updated guidelines (published after 2019) had their recommendations qualitatively synthesized in an exploratory analysis. RESULTS Overall, 66 guidelines authored by professional societies (75%) and targeting clinicians as primary users were selected. The AGREE II domains Scope and Purpose (89%) and Clarity of Presentation (97%), and the AGREE-REX item Clinical Applicability (77.0%) obtained the highest values. Conversely, guidelines were methodologically poorly performed/documented (46%) and scarcely provided data on the implementability of practical recommendations (38%). Recommendations on pharmacological treatments are overall similar, with slight differences concerning the use of supplements and the availability of drugs. CONCLUSION High-quality dyslipidaemia CPG, especially outside North America and Europe, and strictly addressing evidence synthesis, appraisal, and recommendations are needed, especially to guide primary care decisions. CPG developers should consider stakeholders' values and preferences and adapt existing statements to individual populations and healthcare systems to ensure successful implementation interventions.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a multifaceted pathogenic process affecting the arteries and aorta, poses a significant threat because of its potential to impede or entirely obstruct blood flow by narrowing blood vessels. This intricate progression involves various factors such as dyslipidemia, immunological responses, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The initial phase manifests as the formation of fatty streaks, considered a pivotal hallmark in the inception of atherosclerotic plaques, a process that can commence as early as childhood. Over time, this process evolves, characterized by the thickening of the arterial inner layer (intima) and accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, commonly known as foam cells, along with the buildup of the extracellular matrix. Subsequent stages witness the proliferation and aggregation of smooth muscle cells, culminating in the formation of atheroma plaques. As these lesions progress, apoptosis can occur in the deeper layers, further recruiting macrophages, which may undergo calcification and transform into atherosclerotic plaques. Notably, mechanisms such as arterial remodeling and intraplaque hemorrhage also contribute significantly to the progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, although these facets fall beyond the scope of this article. This study aimed to systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid in statin-intolerant patients with hyperlipidemia and to provide conclusions and recommendations accordingly. A systematic search of databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase, will be performed. Only randomized trials will be included comparing bempedoic acid with placebo in statin-intolerant patients. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of bempedoic acid in managing hyperlipidemia in statin-intolerant patients. In primary prevention, for patients unable to tolerate recommended statins, bempedoic acid was associated with a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) as the primary endpoint.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity. Hyperlipidemia is a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular diseases. Hyperlipidemia is characterized by imbalances in blood cholesterol levels, particularly elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Current management consists of lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions most commonly consisting of statins. This review paper explores pathophysiology, management strategies, and pharmacotherapies including commonly used well-established medications including statins, fibrates, and ezetimibe, exciting novel therapies including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, and RNA interference therapies (inclisiran), lomitapide, and bempedoic acid, highlighting their mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, and safety profiles. Additionally, emerging therapies under clinical trials including ApoC-III inhibitors, DGAT2 inhibitors, ACAT2 Inhibitors, and LPL gene therapies are examined for their potential to improve lipid homeostasis and cardiovascular outcomes. The evolving landscape of hyperlipidemia management underscores the importance of continued research into both established therapies and promising new candidates, offering hope for more effective treatment strategies in the future.

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

Jeenduang N, Horpet D, Plyduang T, Nuinoon M. Association of thalassemia, hemoglobinopathies, and vitamin D levels with lipid profile in adults: Community-based research in southern Thai population. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31374. [PMID: 38813217 PMCID: PMC11133901 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31374] [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: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
This study explored the frequency of lipid-lowering drug use in the thalassemia population and investigated the association of thalassemia, hemoglobinopathies, and serum 25(OH)D levels with lipid profile and red blood cell parameters. A combination of cross-sectional and community-based studies was conducted with 615 participants from the southern Thai population. Thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies were diagnosed using hemoglobin analysis and polymerase chain reaction-based methods to genotype globin genes. Biochemical parameters such as lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and serum 25(OH)D levels were assessed using standard enzymatic methods and electrochemiluminescence immunoassays. Differences in the means of hematological and biochemical parameters between the thalassemia and non-thalassemia groups were compared and analyzed. A significantly lower frequency of lipid-lowering drug use was observed in the thalassemia group. Thalassemia, with clearly defined abnormalities in red blood cells, is associated with a 4.72-fold decreased risk of taking lipid-lowering drugs. Among thalassemia participants, the total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly lower than those in non-thalassemia participants. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in carriers of thalassemia and/or hemoglobinopathies in the southern Thai population was 53 % in females and 21 % in males. The highest lipid profile was observed in samples without thalassemia and hypovitaminosis D. The genetics of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies with obviously abnormal red blood cells could explain the variable lipid levels, in addition to lipid metabolism-related genes and environmental factors. However, the effect of thalassemia on lipid levels in each population may differ according to its prevalence. A larger sample size is required to confirm this association, especially in countries with a high prevalence of thalassemia.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1338698.

Abstract
Background Observational studies suggest an association between telomere length (TL) and blood lipid (BL) levels. Nevertheless, the causal connections between these two traits remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate whether genetically predicted TL is associated with BL levels via Mendelian randomization (MR) and vice versa. Methods We obtained genetic instruments associated with TL, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The causal relationships between TL and BL were investigated via bidirectional MR, multivariable MR and mediation analysis methods. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was employed as the principal methodology, complemented by several other estimators to enhance the robustness of the analysis. Results In the forward MR analyses, we identified significant positive correlation between genetically predicted TL and the levels of TG (β=0.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01 to 0.06, p = 0.003). In the reverse MR analysis, TG (β=0.02, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.03, p = 0.004), LDL-C (β=0.03, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.04, p = 0.001) and ApoB (β=0.03, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.04, p = 9.71×10-5) were significantly positively associated with TL, although this relationship was not observed in the multivariate MR analysis. The mediation analysis via two-step MR showed no significant mediation effects acting through obesity-related phenotypes in analysis of TL with TG, while the effect of LDL-C on TL was partially mediated by body mass index (BMI) in the reverse direction, with mediated proportion of 12.83% (95% CI: 0.62% to 25.04%). Conclusions Our study indicated that longer TL were associated with higher TG levels, while conversely, higher TG, LDL-C, and ApoB levels predicted longer TL, with BMI partially mediating these effects. Our findings present valuable insights into the development of preventive strategies and interventions that specifically target TL-related aging and age-related diseases.

Reduced hepatic AdipoR2 by increased glucocorticoid mediates effect of psychosocial stress to elevate serum cholesterol. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2024; 592:112282.

Abstract
Understanding the effects of psychosocial stress on serum cholesterol may offer valuable insights into the relationship between psychological disorders and endocrine diseases. However, these effects and their underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Here we show that serum corticosterone, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are elevated in a mouse model of psychosocial stress. Furthermore, alterations occur in AdipoR2-mediated AMPK and PPARα signaling pathways in liver, accompanied by a decrease in LDL-C clearance and an increase in cholesterol synthesis. These changes are further verified in wild-type and AdipoR2 overexpression HepG2 cells incubated with cortisol and AdipoR agonist, and are finally confirmed by treating wild-type and hepatic-specific AdipoR2 overexpression mice with corticosterone. We conclude that increased glucocorticoid mediates the effects of psychosocial stress to elevate serum cholesterol by inhibiting AdipoR2-mediated AMPK and PPARα signaling to decrease LDL-C clearance and increase cholesterol synthesis in liver.

Abstract
LOX-1, ORL-1, or lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds and internalizes ox-LDL in foam cells. LOX-1 is the main receptor for oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL). The LDL comes from food intake and circulates through the bloodstream. LOX-1 belongs to scavenger receptors (SR), which are associated with various cardiovascular diseases. The most important and severe of these is the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the intimal layer of the endothelium. These plaques can evolve into complicated thrombi with the participation of fibroblasts, activated platelets, apoptotic muscle cells, and macrophages transformed into foam cells. This process causes changes in vascular endothelial homeostasis, leading to partial or total obstruction in the lumen of blood vessels. This obstruction can result in oxygen deprivation to the heart. Recently, LOX-1 has been involved in other pathologies, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus. However, the development of atherosclerosis has been the most relevant due to its relationship with cerebrovascular accidents and heart attacks. In this review, we will summarize findings related to the physiologic and pathophysiological processes of LOX-1 to support the detection, diagnosis, and prevention of those diseases.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and novel biomarkers of atherogenic dyslipidemia among young adults. METHOD A total of 976 young adults were recruited between 2011 and 2019. Their serum 25(OH)D levels were measured, and lipid profile markers, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low-density lipoprotein triglyceride (LDL-TG), and small-dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C), were assessed as novel biomarkers of atherogenic dyslipidemia. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the association between vitamin D levels and lipid profile markers. Odds ratios were calculated to assess the risk of atherogenic dyslipidemia in individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL compared to those with levels above 30 ng/mL. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to explore potential mediation pathways. RESULTS The study found a significant association between vitamin D levels and lower levels of LDL-C, LDL-TG, sdLDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL exhibited significantly higher odds ratios for developing atherogenic dyslipidemia in a dose-response pattern compared to those with vitamin D levels above 30 ng/mL. Notably, structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that vitamin D did not affect atherogenic lipid markers through the mediation of insulin resistance markers or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence of an association between vitamin D deficiency and atherogenic dyslipidemia in young adults. It further highlights that individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL are at a significantly higher risk of developing atherogenic dyslipidemia in a dose-response manner compared to those with higher vitamin D levels. These findings underscore the potential role of vitamin D in dyslipidemia management and emphasize the importance of maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels for cardiovascular health in young adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genetic testing is increasingly becoming a common consideration in the clinical approach of dyslipidemia patients. Advances in research in last decade and increased recognition of genetics in biological pathways modulating blood lipid levels created a gap between theoretical knowledge and its applicability in clinical practice. Therefore, it is very important to define the clinical justification of genetic testing in dyslipidemia patients. RECENT FINDINGS Clinical indications for genetic testing for most dyslipidemias are not precisely defined and there are no clearly established guideline recommendations. In patients with severe low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, the genetic analysis can be used to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approach, while in severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), clinicians can rely on triglyceride level rather than a genotype along the treatment pathway. Genetic testing increases diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification, access and adherence to specialty therapies, and cost-effectiveness of cascade testing. A shared decision-making model between the provider and the patient is essential as patient values, preferences and clinical characteristics play a very strong role. SUMMARY Genetic testing for lipid disorders is currently underutilized in clinical practice. However, it should be selectively used, according to the type of dyslipidemia and when the benefits overcome costs.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) persist as the leading cause of mortality globally, with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), including hypercholesterolaemia, being a significant contributor. Hyperlipidemia management includes various lipid-lowering drugs, including statins, Bempedoic acid, inclisiran, Lomitapide, ANGPTL3 inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Statins have traditionally dominated lipid management therapies; however, a subset of patients remains unresponsive or intolerant to this therapy, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. Tafolecimab, a promising and novel PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, demonstrated significant LDL-C reduction and a favourable safety profile in clinical trials. Objective This review aimed to discuss the role and efficacy of Tafolecimab in the management of hypercholesterolaemia. Methods The authors searched online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, for articles related to talofecimab. Discussion The efficacy of Tafolecimab in diverse patient populations, including those with comorbid conditions and various lipid disorders, has been explored. Ongoing trials, such as CREDIT-1, CREDIT-2, and CREDIT-4, have provided valuable insights into Tafolecimab's potential as a lipid-lowering agent. Moreover, the drug's extended dosing interval may enhance patient compliance and reduce treatment costs. It has also been found that Tafolecimab has more affinity for PCSK9 and a longer duration of LDL-C reduction than other monoclonal antibody drugs such as evolocumab. Thus, this review focuses on Tafolecimab, a novel PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, its mechanism of action, clinical trial outcomes, safety profile, and potential role in hypercholesterolaemia management. Despite its assuring potential, the long-term impact of Tafolecimab on cardiovascular outcomes remains to be fully elucidated, necessitating further research. Regulatory authorities like the FDA and EMA should also evaluate Tafolecimab's risks and benefits. Conclusion In conclusion, Tafolecimab shows potential as an innovative therapeutic option for hypercholesterolaemia, particularly in patients with specific risk factors, but warrants additional research.

Acute pancreatitis risk in multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome depends on the molecular cause of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Atherosclerosis 2024; 392:117489. [PMID: 38448342 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS) is a severe form of hypertriglyceridemia (hyperTG) associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis (AP). Severe hyperTG is mainly polygenic in nature, either caused by the presence of heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TG-related metabolism genes or by accumulation of common variants in hyperTG susceptibility genes. This study aims to determine if the risk of AP is similar amongst MCS patients with different molecular causes of severe hyperTG. METHODS This study included 114 MCS patients who underwent genetic testing for PVs in TG-related metabolism genes and 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hyperTG susceptibility genes. A weighted TG-polygenic risk score (TG-PRS) was calculated. A TG-PRS score ≥ 90th percentile was used to define a high TG-PRS. RESULTS Overall, 66.7% of patients had severe hyperTG of polygenic origin. MCS patients with only a PV and those with both a PV and high TG-PRS were more prone to have maximal TG concentration ≥ 40 mmol/L (OR 5.33 (1.55-18.36); p = 0.008 and OR 5.33 (1.28-22.25); p = 0.02), as well as higher prevalence of AP (OR 3.64 (0.89-14.92); p = 0.07 and OR 11.90 (2.54-55.85); p = 0.002) compared to MCS patients with high TG-PRS alone. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that MCS caused by a high TG-PRS and a PV is associated with higher risk of AP, similar to what is seen in the monogenic form of severe hyperTG. This suggests that determining the molecular cause of severe hyperTG could be useful to stratify the risk of pancreatitis in MCS.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:503. [PMID: 38790608 PMCID: PMC11118120 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13050503] [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: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The NADPH oxidase NOX4 that releases H2O2 can mediate vasoprotective mechanisms under pathophysiological conditions in conductive arteries. However, the role of NOX4 in resistance arteries and in perivascular adipose tissue is not well understood. We hypothesized that NOX4 is of functional importance in resistance arteries and perivascular adipose tissue under dyslipidemia conditions. We detected elevated NOX4 expression in murine and human vessels under dyslipidemia. Diminishing Nox4 under these conditions led to endothelial dysfunction in resistance arteries. The mesenteric arteries of Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- mice revealed decreased eNos mRNA expression. Inhibition of eNOS in those vessels did not affect vascular function, while in Ldlr-/- mice endothelial function was significantly altered. Anticontractile properties of perivascular adipose tissue at resistance arteries were diminished in Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- compared with Ldlr-/- mice. In addition, the presence of perivascular adipose tissue further worsened endothelial dysfunction in mesenteric arteries under dyslipidemia conditions. Perivascular adipose tissue from mesenteric arteries revealed a higher expression of markers of white adipocytes compared to markers of beige/brown adipocytes. Among those white adipocyte markers, leptin was significantly less expressed in perivascular adipose tissue from Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- mice compared with Ldlr-/- mice. Furthermore, in human perivascular adipose tissue with a profound pattern of white adipocyte marker genes, we detected a correlation of NOX4 and LEP expression. In addition, incubating arterial vessels with leptin induced nitrite release, indicating increased eNOS activity. In humans, a higher expression of leptin in perivascular adipose tissue correlated with eNOS expression in the corresponding left internal mammary artery. In conclusion, vascular function of resistance arteries was dependent on Nox4-derived H2O2, especially under dyslipidemia conditions. Perivascular adipose tissue of the mesenteric arteries with white adipose tissue characteristics further aggravated endothelial function through reduced leptin-eNOS signaling.

[PMID: 38605186 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-024-02368-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Dyslipidemia plays a pivotal role in increasing cardiovascular risk. In clinical practice the misleading association between altered lipid profile and obesity is common, therefore genetically inherited dyslipidemias may not completely be addressed among patients with overweight. Thus, we aim to investigate the influence of overweight and obesity on the lipid phenotype in a cohort of patients with different forms of dyslipidemia. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with dyslipidemia from 2015 to 2022. Patients were stratified in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), non-familial hyperlipidemia or polygenic hypercholesterolemia (PH). Clinical characteristics and lipid profile were evaluated. RESULTS Of the total of 798 patients, 361 were affected by non-familial hyperlipidemia (45.2%), while FCHL, FH and PH was described in 19.9%, 14.0% and 20.9% of patients, respectively. Overweight prevalence was higher in FCHL and non-familial hyperlipidemia patients than FH and PH patients. Subjects with overweight and obesity were independently associated with lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to patients with normal weight (52.4 and 46.0 vs 58.1, respectively; p < 0.0001); levels of triglycerides (TG) and non-HDL-C were higher in patients with overweight and obesity than patients with normal weight (257.3 and 290.9 vs 194.8, and 221.5 and 219.6 vs 210.1, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01, respectively), while no differences were observed between patients with overweight and obesity. CONCLUSION While dyslipidemias can be influenced by various factors, an important determinant may lie in genetics, frequently acting as an underlying cause of altered lipid profiles, even in cases of overweight conditions.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Laurus nobilis (L. nobilis) essential oil (EOs) (80 mg/kg) on Triton WR-1339-induced dyslipidemia in Wistar rats. The effect of L. nobilis essential oil (80 mg/kg) on lipid and lipoprotein profile was examined on Triton WR-1339-induced dyslipidemia in rats. Furthermore, the phytochemical evaluation was performed by GC-MS. In Addition, the acute toxicity of this EO was evaluated at a dose of 2 g/kg. The results revealed that the main constituents of L. nobilis EO were 1,8-cineole (39.5%), linalool (13.09%), and a-terpineol (11.55%). Furthermore, the EO did not cause any signs of toxicity or mortality, and the acute lethal dose 50 (LD50) was estimated to be higher than 2 g/kg. L. nobilis EO ameliorated lipid parameters and atherogenic indices. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that L. nobilis essential oils possess antidyslipidemic activity in acute model of hyperlipidaemia.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a common clinically encountered health condition worldwide that promotes the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. Berberine (BBR) is a natural product with acknowledged anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic effects. This study evaluated the effect of BBR on lipid alterations, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in rats with acute hyperlipidemia induced by poloxamer-407 (P-407). Rats were pretreated with BBR (25 and 50 mg/kg) for 14 days and acute hyperlipidemia was induced by a single dose of P-407 (500 mg/kg). BBR ameliorated hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and plasma lipoproteins in P-407-adminsitered rats. Plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was decreased, and hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase activity was enhanced in hyperlipidemic rats. The expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) was downregulated in hyperlipidemic rats. BBR enhanced LPL activity, upregulated LDL-R, and ABCA1, and suppressed HMG-CoA reductase in P-407-administered rats. Pretreatment with BBR ameliorated lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide (NO), pro-inflammatory mediators (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, interferon-γ, IL-4 and IL-18) and enhanced antioxidants. In addition, BBR suppressed lymphocyte ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase) and ecto-adenosine deaminase (E-ADA) as well as NO and TNF-α release by macrophages isolated from normal and hyperlipidemic rats. In silico investigations revealed the binding affinity of BBR toward LPL, HMG-CoA reductase, LDL-R, PSK9, ABCA1, and E-NTPDase. In conclusion, BBR effectively prevented acute hyperlipidemia and its associated inflammatory responses by modulating LPL, cholesterolgenesis, cytokine release, and lymphocyte E-NTPDase and E-ADA. Therefore, BBR is an effective and safe natural compound that might be employed as an adjuvant against hyperlipidemia and its associated inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW While biallelic rare APOA5 pathogenic loss-of-function (LOF) variants cause familial chylomicronemia syndrome, heterozygosity for such variants is associated with highly variable triglyceride phenotypes ranging from normal to severe hypertriglyceridemia, often in the same individual at different time points. Here we provide an updated overview of rare APOA5 variants in hypertriglyceridemia. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, most variants in APOA5 that are considered to be pathogenic according to guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics are those resulting in premature termination codons. There are minimal high quality functional data on the impact of most rare APOA5 missense variants; many are considered as variants of unknown or uncertain significance. Furthermore, particular common polymorphisms of APOA5 , such as p.Ser19Trp and p.Gly185Cys in Caucasian and Asian populations, respectively, are statistically overrepresented in hypertriglyceridemia cohorts and are sometimes misattributed as being causal for chylomicronemia, when they are merely risk alleles for hypertriglyceridemia. SUMMARY Both biallelic and monoallelic LOF variants in APOA5 are associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia, although the biochemical phenotype in the monoallelic state is highly variable and is often exacerbated by secondary factors. Currently, with few exceptions, the principal definitive mechanism for APOA5 pathogenicity is through premature truncation. The pathogenic mechanisms of most missense variants in APOA5 remain unclear and require additional functional experiments or family studies.

Abstract
This guideline is the first Iranian guideline developed for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of hyperlipidemia in adults. The members of the guideline developing group (GDG) selected 9 relevant clinical questions and provided recommendations or suggestions to answer them based on the latest scientific evidence. Recommendations include the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) threshold for starting drug treatment in adults lacking comorbidities was determined to be over 190 mg/dL and the triglyceride (TG) threshold had to be >500 mg/dl. In addition to perform fasting lipid profile tests at the beginning and continuation of treatment, while it was suggested to perform cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risk assessment using valid Iranian models. Some recommendations were also provided on lifestyle modification as the first therapeutic intervention. Statins were recommended as the first line of drug treatment to reduce LDL-C, and if its level was high despite the maximum allowed or maximum tolerated drug treatment, combined treatment with ezetimibe, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, or bile acid sequestrants was suggested. In adults with hypertriglyceridemia, pharmacotherapy with statin or fibrate was recommended. The target of drug therapy in adults with increased LDL-C without comorbidities and risk factors was considered an LDL-C level of <130 mg/dl, and in adults with increased TG without comorbidities and risk factors, TG levels of <200 mg/dl. In this guideline, specific recommendations and suggestions were provided for the subgroups of the general population, such as those with CVD, stroke, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, elderly, and women.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between serum ferritin and hypertension among American adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999 to 2018. A total of 16,125 participants were included. Weighted logistic regression and subgroup analyses were performed to explore the association. We found that serum ferritin was closely correlated to hypertension. Individuals with high serum ferritin were more likely to have higher systolic or diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) than those with lower serum ferritin. Restricted cubic spline showed a significant non-linear association between serum ferritin and SBP/DBP. Higher level of serum ferritin (Q3 74.1-147 μg/L and Q4 > 147 μg/L) was found to have positive association with high SBP [Q3 (OR: 1.246, 95% CI:1.020-1.523), Q4 (OR: 1.354, 95% CI:1.096-1.674)], and hypertension [Q3 (OR: 1.283, 95% CI:1.099-1.499), Q4 (OR: 1.424, 95% CI:1.197-1.63)] in the whole population. In people aged between 20 and 60, subjects with high serum ferritin were significantly associated with a higher risk of hypertension, but in those over 60, the relationship between serum ferritin level and hypertension is negative. A non-linear association between serum ferritin and SBP, as well as DBP, was discovered. There was age difference in association between serum ferritin and hypertension in American adults, and further researches were needed to understand the mechanisms behind the difference.

Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemia is one of the most common chronic diseases, and is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and inadequate vitamin K intake. We aimed to explore the association between IR, vitamin K intake, and dyslipidemia, and further to explore the mediating role of IR. Materials and methods: 12 860 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2018 were included in this study. Insulin resistance was determined by using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Weighted multiple logistic regression and mediation analyses were conducted to analyze the associations between IR, vitamin K intake, and dyslipidemia. Results: We found that both vitamin K intake-met Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) and non-IR were protective factors of high triglycerides (with ORs (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.57, 0.87) and 0.36 (0.29, 0.45), respectively) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (with ORs (95% CI) of 0.72 (0.62, 0.82) and 0.39 (0.34, 0.41), respectively). IR-related indicators (HOMA-IR and insulin) partly mediated these effects, and the proportion ranged from 16.36% to 18.52%. Conclusion: Vitamin K intake-met DRI and non-IR were associated with lower risk of dyslipidemia including high TG and low HDL-C. IR partly mediated the association of vitamin K intake with high TG and low HDL-C.

Abstract
The study aimed to identify the biomarkers for predicting coronary atherosclerotic lesions progression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Related transcriptome datasets were seized from Gene Expression Omnibus database. IBD-related modules were identified via Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. The 'Limma' was applied to screen differentially expressed genes between stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Subsequently, we employed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and three machine-learning strategies to further screen for candidate hub genes. Application of the receiver operating characteristics curve to quantitatively evaluate candidates to determine key diagnostic biomarkers, followed by a nomogram construction. Ultimately, we performed immune landscape analysis, single-gene GSEA and prediction of target-drugs. 3227 IBD-related module genes and 570 DEGs accounting for AMI were recognized. Intersection yielded 85 shared genes and mostly enriched in immune and inflammatory pathways. After filtering through PPI network and multi-machine learning algorithms, five candidate genes generated. Upon validation, CTSD, CEBPD, CYP27A1 were identified as key diagnostic biomarkers with a superior sensitivity and specificity (AUC > 0.8). Furthermore, all three genes were negatively correlated with CD4+ T cells and positively correlated with neutrophils. Single-gene GSEA highlighted the importance of pathogen invasion, metabolism, immune and inflammation responses during the pathogenesis of AMI. Ten target-drugs were predicted. The discovery of three peripheral blood biomarkers capable of predicting the risk of CAD proceeding into AMI in IBD patients. These identified biomarkers were negatively correlated with CD4+ T cells and positively correlated with neutrophils, indicating a latent therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple systematic reviews (SR) have been performed on the effects of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), often providing conflicting findings. This overview and network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to summarize SR findings on the efficacy and safety of PCSK9i and provide an updated NMA. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE (Pubmed), Scopus, Cochrane, Epistemonikos and Google Scholar were searched from inception to September 21, 2023 for SRs of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and from January 1, 2020 to September 21, 2023 for additional RCTs. Double-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed. Qualitative analysis was performed for SRs and a frequentist random-effects model NMA was performed for RCTs. RESULTS Totally, 86 SRs and 76 RCTs were included. Alirocumab (77/86 [90%]) and evolocumab (73/86 [85%]) were mostly analyzed. Associations from SRs (35/42 [83%]) and the updated NMA indicated PCSK9i benefit on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Reductions were also noted for cerebrovascular events (47/66 [71%]), coronary revascularization (29/33 [88%]) and myocardial infarction (41/63 [65%]). Alirocumab was associated with reductions on all-cause mortality (RR=0.82, 95%CI [0.72,0.94]). Data on any CV event reduction were conflicting (7/16 [44%]). Inclisiran appeared effective only on MACEs (RR=0.76, 95%CI [0.61,0.94]). No reductions in heart failure were observed (0/16). No increases were identified between PCSK9i and any (0/35) or serious adverse events (0/52). However, PCSK9i were associated with injection-site reactions (20/28 [71%]). CONCLUSION PCSK9i appeared to be effective in CV outcomes and their clinical application was generally safe.

Eight weeks of daily cottonseed oil intake attenuates postprandial angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 responses compared to olive oil in adults with hypercholesterolemia: A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Nutr Res 2024; 123:88-100. [PMID: 38295507 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2024.01.006] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) -3, -4, and -8 are regulators of lipid metabolism and have been shown to respond to changes in dietary fats. It is unknown how ANGPTLs respond to cottonseed oil (CSO) and olive oil (OO) consumption in a population with hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of CSO vs. OO consumption on fasting and postprandial ANGPTL responses in adults with hypercholesterolemia. We hypothesized that CSO would have lower fasting and postprandial ANGPTL responses compared with OO. Forty-two adults with high cholesterol completed a single-blind, randomized trial comparing CSO (n = 21) vs. OO (n = 21) diet enrichment. An 8-week partial outpatient feeding intervention provided ∼60% of the volunteers' total energy expenditure (∼30% of total energy expenditure as CSO or OO). The remaining 40% was not controlled. Fasting blood draws were taken at pre-, mid-, and postintervention visits. Volunteers consumed a high saturated fat meal followed by 5 hours of blood draws pre- and postvisits. Fasting ANGPTL3 had a marginally significant treatment by visit interaction (P = .06) showing an increase from pre- to postintervention in CSO vs. OO (CSO: 385.1 ± 27.7 to 440.3 ± 33.9 ng/mL; OO: 468.2 ± 38.3 to 449.2 ± 49.5 ng/mL). Both postprandial ANGPTL3 (P = .02) and ANGPTL4 (P < .01) had treatment by visit interactions suggesting increases from pre- to postintervention in OO vs. CSO with no differences between groups in ANGPTL8. These data show a worsening (increase) of postprandial ANGPTLs after the OO, but not CSO, intervention. This aligns with previously reported data in which postprandial triglycerides were protected from increases compared with OO. ANGPTLs may mediate protective effects of CSO consumption on lipid control. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04397055).

Changes in Macronutrients during Dieting Lead to Weight Cycling and Metabolic Complications in Mouse Model. Nutrients 2024; 16:646.

Abstract
Weight cycling is a major challenge in obesity management. Caloric restriction is known to promote this phenomenon, but the impact of macronutrient changes during dieting remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the role of macronutrient changes in weight maintenance without caloric restriction by alternating between two hypercaloric diets: a high-carbohydrate, high-fat Western diet (WD) and a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (LCHDF). Obesity was induced in 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice by 10 weeks of WD feeding. Then, the mice were subjected to 12 weeks of LCHFD interspersed with WD (I-WD), 3 periods of 2-week LCHFD followed by 2 periods of 3-week WD, or 12 weeks of continuous WD (C-WD). C-WD and I-WD mice were compared to standard diet (SD) mice. In the I-WD group, each LCHFD period decreased weight gain, but mice regained weight after WD resumption. I-WD mice exhibited obesity, dyslipidemia, and glucose intolerance, similarly to the C-WD mice. I-WD mice also developed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, associated with an increase in type-III collagen gene expression and a decrease in FGF21 protein levels, in comparison with SD. I-WD mice developed weight cycling despite maintaining a high caloric consumption, suggesting that changes in macronutrients during dieting are also a trigger of weight regain.

Abstract
Obesity-related metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases pose a significant threat to health. However, comprehensive pathogenesis exploration and effective therapy development are impeded by the limited availability of human models. Notably, advances in organoid technology enable the generation of adipose organoids that recapitulate structures and functions of native human adipose tissues to investigate mechanisms and develop corresponding treatments for obesity-related metabolic diseases. Here, we review the general principles, sources, and three-dimensional techniques for engineering adipose organoids, along with strategies to promote maturation. We also outline the application of white adipose organoids, primarily for disease modeling and drug screening, and highlight the therapeutic potential of thermogenic beige and brown adipose organoids in promoting weight loss and glucose and lipid metabolic homeostasis. We also discuss the challenges and prospects in the establishment and bench-to-bedside of adipose organoids, as well as their potential applications.

Joint association of physical activity and diet quality with dyslipidemia: a cross-sectional study in Western China. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:46. [PMID: 38341553 PMCID: PMC10858468 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02030-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and assess the joint association of physical activity (PA) and diet quality on dyslipidemia risk in urban areas of Xinjiang. METHODS Conducted from July 2019 to September 2021 in Xinjiang, China, this cross-sectional study involved 11,855 participants (mean age 47.1 ± 9.4 years, 53.1% male). Standard methods were used to measure plasma cholesterol levels, and validated questionnaires were employed to evaluate dietary habits and PA. The definition of dyslipidemia is based on 2023 Chinese guidelines for lipid management. PA was divided into guideline-recommended moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and non-MVPA, following World Health Organization guidelines. The Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to obtain the intake frequency of each dietary term. Each item was scored based on consumption frequency and divided into three groups (good, intermediate, and poor) based on total dietary score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify dyslipidemia risk factors, as well as the joint association of PA and diet quality. RESULTS Dyslipidemia prevalence among urban adults in Xinjiang was 39.3%, with notable sex disparities (52.6% in males vs. 24.3% in females, P < 0.001). Among participants with dyslipidemia, the awareness, treatment and control rates were 6.9%, 3.1%, and 1.9%, respectively. A significant multiplicative interaction between PA and diet quality is associated with dyslipidemia (P for interaction < 0.05). Less PA and poor diet quality were associated with an increased odds of dyslipidemia. Even individuals with poor (OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.106-1.939) or intermediate (OR = 1.229, 95% CI: 1.003-1.505) diet quality but adhering to recommended MVPA had lower odds of dyslipidemia compared to those with good diet quality but inadequate MVPA (OR = 1.510, 95% CI: 1.252-1.821). CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia prevalence was 39.3% in urban adults in Xinjiang, with limited awareness, treatment, and control. Following guideline-recommended MVPA and maintaining good diet quality were protective against dyslipidemia. Low levels of PA associated with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, even in individuals with good diet quality.

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia is a modifiable risk factor commonly associated with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, with a major impact on the early development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Various studies have tried to identify the key treatment targets, their optimal values according to patients' CV risk, and the most efficient yet safe therapeutic agents which, alongside lifestyle changes, would improve lipid levels and reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Currently, there are multiple pharmacologic options that can be used in the management of dyslipidaemia, such as statins, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, PCSK9 inhibitors, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or fibrates, to name only a few, while many other are under development. In the current setting of a continuously increasing population of patients with metabolic disorders, this review aims to summarise current knowledge regarding lipid disorders and the recommendations of recent guidelines in treating dyslipidaemia in patients with diabetes mellitus or prediabetes.

Abstract
Inappropriate lipid levels in the blood, as well as its content and composition in different organs, underlie multiple metabolic disorders including obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Multiple processes contribute to the complex metabolism of triglycerides (TGs), fatty acids (FAs), and other lipid species. These consist of digestion and absorption of dietary lipids, de novo FAs synthesis (lipogenesis), uptake of TGs and FAs by peripheral tissues, TGs storage in the intracellular depots as well as lipid utilization for β-oxidation and their conversion to lipid-derivatives. A majority of the enzymatic reactions linked to lipogenesis, TGs synthesis, lipid absorption, and transport are happening at the endoplasmic reticulum, while β-oxidation takes place in mitochondria and peroxisomes. The Golgi apparatus is a central sorting, protein- and lipid-modifying organelle and hence is involved in lipid metabolism as well. However, the impact of the processes taking part in the Golgi apparatus are often overseen. The protein kinase D (PKD) family (composed of three members, PKD1, 2, and 3) is the master regulator of Golgi dynamics. PKDs are also a sensor of different lipid species in distinct cellular compartments. In this review, we discuss the roles of PKD family members in the regulation of lipid metabolism including the processes executed by PKDs at the Golgi apparatus. We also discuss the role of PKDs-dependent signaling in different cellular compartments and organs in the context of the development of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum lipid levels are associated with cancer risk. However, there still have uncertainties about the single and combined effects of low lipid levels on cancer risk. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 33,773 adults in Shanghai between 2016 and 2017 was conducted. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association of single and combined lipids with overall, lung, colon, rectal, thyroid gland, stomach, and female breast cancers. The effect of the combination of abnormal lipid score and lifestyle on cancer was also estimated. RESULTS A total of 926 incident cancer cases were identified. In the RCS analysis, hazard ratios (HRs) of overall cancer for individuals with TC < 5.18 mmol/L or with LDL-C < 3.40 mmol/L were higher. Low TC was associated with higher colorectal cancer risk (HR [95% CI] = 1.76 [1.09-2.84]) and low HDL-C increased thyroid cancer risk by 90%. Abnormal lipid score was linearly and positively associated with cancer risk, and smokers with high abnormal lipid scores had a higher cancer risk, compared to non-smokers with low abnormal lipid scores (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Low TC levels were associated with an increased risk of overall and colorectal cancer. More attention should be paid to participants with high abnormal lipid scores and unhealthy lifestyles who may have a higher risk of developing cancer. Determining the specific and comprehensive lipid combinations that affect tumorigenesis remains a valuable challenge.
