Alcohol Consumption, High-Density Lipoprotein Particles and Subspecies, and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Findings from the PREVEND Prospective Study. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2290. [PMID: 38396968 PMCID: PMC10889823 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042290] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The associations of HDL particle (HDL-P) and subspecies concentrations with alcohol consumption are unclear. We aimed to evaluate the interplay between alcohol consumption, HDL parameters and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. In the PREVEND study of 5151 participants (mean age, 53 years; 47.5% males), self-reported alcohol consumption and HDL-P and subspecies (small, medium, and large) by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were assessed. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for first CVD events were estimated. In multivariable linear regression analyses, increasing alcohol consumption increased HDL-C, HDL-P, large and medium HDL, HDL size, and HDL subspecies (H3P, H4P, H6 and H7) in a dose-dependent manner. During a median follow-up of 8.3 years, 323 first CVD events were recorded. Compared with abstainers, the multivariable adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of CVD for occasional to light, moderate, and heavy alcohol consumers were 0.72 (0.55-0.94), 0.74 (0.54-1.02), and 0.65 (0.38-1.09), respectively. These associations remained consistent on additional adjustment for each HDL parameter. For CVD, only HDL-C was associated with a statistically significant decreased risk of CVD in a fully adjusted analysis (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.97 per 1 SD increment). For coronary heart disease, HDL-C, HDL-P, medium HDL, HDL size, and H4P showed inverse associations, whereas HDL-C and HDL size modestly increased stroke risk. Except for H6P, alcohol consumption did not modify the associations between HDL parameters and CVD risk. The addition of HDL-C, HDL size, or H4P to a CVD risk prediction model containing established risk factors improved risk discrimination. Increasing alcohol consumption is associated with increased HDL-C, HDL-P, large and medium HDL, HDL size, and some HDL subspecies. Associations of alcohol consumption with CVD are largely independent of HDL parameters. The associations of HDL parameters with incident CVD are generally not attenuated or modified by alcohol consumption.

High-Density Lipoprotein Particles and Torque Teno Virus in Stable Outpatient Kidney Transplant Recipients. Viruses 2024; 16:143. [PMID: 38257843 PMCID: PMC10818741 DOI: 10.3390/v16010143] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Torque teno virus (TTV) is emerging as a potential marker for monitoring immune status. In transplant recipients who are immunosuppressed, higher TTV DNA loads are observed than in healthy individuals. TTV load measurement may aid in optimizing immunosuppressive medication dosing in solid organ transplant recipients. Additionally, there is a growing interest in the role of HDL particles in immune function; therefore, assessment of both HDL concentrations and TTV load may be of interest in transplant recipients. The objective of this study was to analyze TTV loads and HDL parameters in serum samples collected at least one year post-transplantation from 656 stable outpatient kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), enrolled in the TransplantLines Food and Nutrition Cohort (Groningen, the Netherlands). Plasma HDL particles and subfractions were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Serum TTV load was measured using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Associations between HDL parameters and TTV load were examined using univariable and multivariable linear regression. The median age was 54.6 [IQR: 44.6 to 63.1] years, 43.3% were female, the mean eGFR was 52.5 (±20.6) mL/min/1.73 m2 and the median allograft vintage was 5.4 [IQR: 2.0 to 12.0] years. A total of 539 participants (82.2%) had a detectable TTV load with a mean TTV load of 3.04 (±1.53) log10 copies/mL, the mean total HDL particle concentration was 19.7 (±3.4) μmol/L, and the mean HDL size was 9.1 (±0.5) nm. The univariable linear regression revealed a negative association between total HDL particle concentration and TTV load (st.β = -0.17, 95% CI st.β: -0.26 to -0.09, p < 0.001). An effect modification of smoking behavior influencing the association between HDL particle concentration and TTV load was observed (Pinteraction = 0.024). After adjustment for age, sex, alcohol intake, hemoglobin, eGFR, donor age, allograft vintage and the use of calcineurin inhibitors, the negative association between HDL particle concentration and TTV load remained statistically significant in the non-smoking population (st.β = -0.14, 95% CI st.β: -0.23 to -0.04, p = 0.006). Furthermore, an association between small HDL particle concentration and TTV load was found (st.β = -0.12, 95% CI st.β: -0.22 to -0.02, p = 0.017). Higher HDL particle concentrations were associated with a lower TTV load in kidney transplant recipients, potentially indicative of a higher immune function. Interventional studies are needed to provide causal evidence on the effects of HDL on the immune system.

Vallée A. Arterial stiffness and biological parameters: A decision tree machine learning application in hypertensive participants. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0288298. [PMID: 37418473 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0288298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Arterial stiffness, measured by arterial stiffness index (ASI), could be considered a main denominator in target organ damage among hypertensive subjects. Currently, no reported ASI normal references have been reported. The index of arterial stiffness is evaluated by calculation of a stiffness index. Predicted ASI can be estimated regardless to age, sex, mean blood pressure, and heart rate, to compose an individual stiffness index [(measured ASI-predicted ASI)/predicted ASI]. A stiffness index greater than zero defines arterial stiffness. Thus, the purpose of this study was 1) to determine determinants of stiffness index 2) to perform threshold values to discriminate stiffness index and then 3) to determine hierarchical associations of the determinants by performing a decision tree model among hypertensive participants without CV diseases. A study was conducted from 53,363 healthy participants in the UK Biobank survey to determine predicted ASI. Stiffness index was applied on 49,452 hypertensives without CV diseases to discriminate determinants of positive stiffness index (N = 22,453) from negative index (N = 26,999). The input variables for the models were clinical and biological parameters. The independent classifiers were ranked from the most sensitives: HDL cholesterol≤1.425 mmol/L, smoking pack years≥9.2pack-years, Phosphate≥1.172 mmol/L, to the most specifics: Cystatin c≤0.901 mg/L, Triglycerides≥1.487 mmol/L, Urate≥291.9 μmol/L, ALT≥22.13 U/L, AST≤32.5 U/L, Albumin≤45.92 g/L, Testosterone≥5.181 nmol/L. A decision tree model was performed to determine rules to highlight the different hierarchization and interactions between these classifiers with a higher performance than multiple logistic regression (p<0.001). The stiffness index could be an integrator of CV risk factors and participate in future CV risk management evaluations for preventive strategies. Decision trees can provide accurate and useful classification for clinicians.

Both LDL and HDL particle concentrations associate positively with an increased risk of developing microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes: lost protection by HDL (Zodiac-63). Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:169. [PMID: 37415152 PMCID: PMC10327395 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01909-1] [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: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are associated positively whereas high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are associated inversely with the development of new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here we studied potential associations between these lipoprotein particle concentrations and the risk of developing microvascular complications in patients with established T2D. METHODS Lipoprotein particle concentrations (TRLP, LDLP, and HDLP) were determined in 278 patients with T2D participating in a primary care-based longitudinal cohort study (Zwolle Outpatient Diabetes project Integrating Available Care [ZODIAC] study) leveraging the Vantera nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) platform using the LP4 algorithm. Associations between lipoprotein particles and incident microvascular complications (nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy) were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS In total, 136 patients had microvascular complications at baseline. During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, 49 (34.5%) of 142 patients without microvascular complications at baseline developed new-onset microvascular complications. In multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses, both total LDLP and HDLP concentrations, but not total TRLP concentrations, were positively associated with an increased risk of developing any microvascular complications after adjustment for potential confounding factors, including age, sex, disease duration, HbA1c levels, history of macrovascular complications, and statin use (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] per 1 SD increment: 1.70 [95% CI 1.24-2.34], P < 0.001 and 1.63 [95% CI 1.19-2.23], P = 0.002, respectively). When analyzing each microvascular complication individually, total LDLP concentrations were positively associated with retinopathy (adjusted HR 3.35, 95% CI 1.35-8.30, P = 0.009) and nephropathy (adjusted HR 2.13, 95% CI 1.27-3.35, P = 0.004), and total HDLP concentrations with neuropathy (adjusted HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.15-2.70, P = 0.009). No significant associations were observed for lipoprotein particle subfractions. CONCLUSIONS Total lipoprotein particle concentrations of both LDL and HDL associate positively with an increased risk of developing microvascular complications in T2D. We propose that the protective role of HDL on the development of microvascular complications may be lost in established T2D.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the link between the neutrophil to HDL-C ratio (NHR) and the degree of coronary stenosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and methods Totally 766 individuals who attended our clinic for coronary angiography between January 2019 and January 2021 were included in this study. The participants were divided into two groups, including the CAD group and control group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the association between NHR and Gensini score and logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the influence of NHR on CAD and severe CAD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to analyze the predictive value of NHR for severe CAD. Results The CAD group had a substantially higher median NHR than the control group (3.7 vs. 3.2, P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between NHR and Gensini score, as well as the frequency of coronary artery plaques. Logistic regression demonstrated that NHR was an independent contributor for CAD and severe CAD. In ROC analysis, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for NHR was larger than that for neutrophil, HDL-C or LDL-C/HDL-C, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The NHR limit that offered the most accurate prediction of severe CAD according to the greatest possible value of the Youden index, was 3.88, with a sensitivity of 62.6% and a specificity of 66.2%. Conclusion NHR was not only associated with the occurrence and seriousness of CAD, but also a better predictor of severe CAD than neutrophil, HDL-C or LDL-C/HDL-C.

Abstract
Background
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. HDL exerts various protective functions on the cardiovascular system including anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing adhesion molecules expression in inflammation-induced endothelial cells. This study was designed to search if the anti-inflammatory capacity of apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma (apoB-depleted plasma) is altered in NAFLD patients.
Methods
A total of 83 subjects including 42 NAFLD and 41 control subjects were included in this cross-sectional study. Anti-inflammatory function of HDL was determined as the ability of apoB-depleted plasma to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced expression of adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
Results
Incubation of inflammation-stimulated HUVECs with the NAFLD patients’ apo-B depleted plasma led to higher levels of expression of adhesion molecules compared to the control subjects’ plasma samples, reflecting an impaired anti-inflammatory capacity of apoB-depleted plasma in the NAFLD patients. Impaired anti-inflammatory capacity of apoB-depleted plasma was correlated with fatty liver and obesity indices. After adjustment with obesity indices, the association of anti-inflammatory capacity of apoB-depleted plasma with NAFLD remained significant.
Conclusion
Impaired anti-inflammatory activity of apoB-depleted plasma was independently associated with NAFLD.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles comprising heterogeneous subclasses of different functions exert anti-inflammatory effects by interacting with immune-response cells. However, the relationship of HDL subclasses with immune-response cells in metabolic unhealth/obesity has not been defined clearly. The purpose of this study was to delineate the relational changes of HDL subclasses with immune cells and inflammatory markers in metabolic unhealth/obesity to understand the role of anti-inflammatory HDL subclasses. A total of 316 participants were classified by metabolic health. HDL subclasses were detected by microfluidic chip electrophoresis. White blood cell (WBC) counts and lymphocytes were assessed using automatic haematology analyser. Levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were measured. In our study, not only the distribution of HDL subclasses, but also HDL-related structural proteins changed with the deterioration of metabolic disease. Moreover, lymphocytes and inflammation factors significantly gradually increased. The level of HDL2b was negatively associated with WBC, lymphocytes and hs-CRP in multivariable linear regression analysis. In multinomial logistic regression analysis, high levels of HDL3 and low levels of HDL2b increased the probability of having an unfavourable metabolic unhealth/obesity status. We supposed that HDL2b particles may play anti-inflammation by negatively regulating lymphocytes activation. HDL2b may be a therapeutic target for future metabolic disease due to the anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Background We recently showed that, in patients with heart failure, lower high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration was a strong predictor of death or hospitalization for heart failure. In a follow‐up study, we suggested that this association could be partly explained by HDL proteome composition. However, whether the emerging concept of HDL function contributes to the prognosis of patients with heart failure has not been addressed. Methods and Results We measured 3 key protective HDL function metrics, namely, cholesterol efflux, antioxidative capacity, and anti‐inflammatory capacity, at baseline and after 9 months in 446 randomly selected patients with heart failure from BIOSTAT‐CHF (A Systems Biology Study to Tailored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure). Additionally, the relationship between HDL functionality and HDL proteome composition was determined in 86 patients with heart failure. From baseline to 9 months, HDL cholesterol concentrations were unchanged, but HDL cholesterol efflux and anti‐inflammatory capacity declined (both P<0.001). In contrast, antioxidative capacity increased (P<0.001). Higher HDL cholesterol efflux was associated with lower mortality after adjusting for BIOSTAT‐CHF risk models and log HDL cholesterol (hazard ratio, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.71–0.92; P=0.001). Other functionality measures were not associated with outcome. Several HDL proteins correlated with HDL functionality, mainly with cholesterol efflux. Apolipoprotein A1 emerged as the main protein associated with all 3 HDL functionality measures. Conclusions Better HDL cholesterol efflux at baseline was associated with lower mortality during follow‐up, independent of HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol efflux and anti‐inflammatory capacity declined during follow‐up in patients with heart failure. Measures of HDL function may provide clinical information in addition to HDL cholesterol concentration in patients with heart failure.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function in cardiovascular disease represents an important emerging concept. The present study investigated whether HDL anti-inflammatory capacity is prospectively associated with first cardiovascular events in the general population. METHODS HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was determined as its ability to suppress TNFα (tumor necrosis factor α)-induced VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) mRNA expression in endothelial cells in vitro (results expressed as achieved percent reduction by individual HDL related to the maximum TNFα effect with no HDL present). In a nested case-control design of the PREVEND (Prevention of Renal and Vascular End Stage Disease) study, 369 cases experiencing a first cardiovascular event (combined end point of death from cardiovascular causes, ischemic heart disease, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization) during a median of 10.5 years of follow-up were identified and individually matched to 369 controls with respect to age, sex, smoking status, and HDL cholesterol. Baseline samples were available in 340 cases and 340 matched controls. RESULTS HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was not correlated with HDL cholesterol or hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein). HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was significantly lower in cases compared with controls (31.6% [15.7-44.2] versus 27.0% [7.4-36.1]; P<0.001) and was inversely associated with incident CVD in a fully adjusted model (odds ratio [OR] per 1 SD, 0.74 [CI, 0.61-0.90]; P=0.002). Furthermore, this association was approximately similar with all individual components of the cardiovascular disease end point. The HDL anti-inflammatory was not correlated with cholesterol efflux capacity (r=-0.02; P>0.05). When combining these 2 HDL function metrics in 1 model, both were significantly and independently associated with incident cardiovascular disease in a fully adjusted model (efflux: OR per 1 SD, 0.74; P=0.002; anti-inflammatory capacity: OR per 1 SD, 0.66; P<0.001). Adding HDL anti-inflammatory capacity improved risk prediction by the Framingham risk score, with a model likelihood-ratio statistic increase from 10.50 to 20.40 (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The HDL anti-inflammatory capacity, reflecting vascular protection against key steps in atherogenesis, was inversely associated with incident cardiovascular events in a general population cohort, independent of HDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol efflux capacity. Adding HDL anti-inflammatory capacity to the Framingham risk score improves risk prediction.

Evaluation of Beneficial and Adverse Effects of a Diet Supplemented with Schisandrae Fructus Seed Ethanol Extract on Lipid and Glucose Metabolism in Normal and Hypercholesterolemic/Hyperglycemic Mice. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8858962. [PMID: 33688367 PMCID: PMC7920717 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8858962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Schisandrae Fructus (SF), the fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baillon, has been used for the treatment of liver injury and metabolism-related disorders in China. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of supplementation with ethanol extract of SF seed (EtSF-S) on serum/hepatic lipid and glucose levels as well as fecal total cholesterol (TC) contents in mice fed a normal diet (ND) or high-fat/fructose diet (HFFD) containing 15% lard oil and 15% fructose. Female ICR mice (18–20 g in body weight) were fed with ND or HFFD for 3 months, and then EtSF-S was added to both chow diets at increasing concentrations of 1, 5, and 10% (w/w). Thirty days later, serum and hepatic lipids, including TC, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and glucose, were measured. Dietary supplementation with EtSF-S reduced hepatic TC (36 and 18%) and TG levels (38 and 28%) and increased serum HDL/LDL ratio (16 and 26%) in both ND- and HFFD-fed mice, respectively. Moreover, supplementation with EtSF-S elevated serum HDL (31%) in HFFD-fed mice and reduced serum LDL (27%) in ND-fed mice. EtSF-S treatment reduced fat mass (40%) in ND-fed mice and increased fecal TC contents (33%) in HFFD-fed mice. EtSF-S supplementation decreased hepatic glucose contents (29%) in both ND- and HFFD-fed mice. However, diet supplemented with EtSF-S elevated serum TG levels (up to 123%) and hepatic size (28%), but more importantly, suppressed the body weight gain (approximately 130%) in mice fed with HFFD. These findings suggested that dietary supplementation with EtSF-S as natural herbal function food may be a useful strategy for the treatment of patients with fatty liver disease or overweight without a high intake of sugar and fat.

Abstract
Major lipids making effects on the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is well recognized, but their roles on stroke severity remain uncertain. To explore the exact roles of lipids playing on stroke severity and the possible mechanism, we conduct this observational study.Data was collected from patients with AIS from February 2008 to May 2012. The level of major lipids was compared among AIS groups with different severity and investigated the correlation. Also, the relationship existed between major lipids and bilirubin. Mechanism of major lipids playing on stroke severity was researched to determine if oxidative stress reflected by bilirubin.Lower triglyceride (TG) and higher high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed in severe stroke, and obvious correlation existed between TG and stroke severity or HDL-C and stroke severity. TG was associated negatively with direct bilirubin (DBIL) and total bilirubin (TBIL), and lower level of DBIL and TBIL were related to higher quartiles of TG. There was no obvious difference of DBIL and TBIL among the groups of quartiles of HDL-C. TG was the influence factor of stroke severity in severe stroke through multiple univariable logistic regression. But it was not the independent influence factor after multivariable logistic regression adjusted by DBIL or TBIL. However, HDL-C was the influence factor of stroke severity through both univariable and multivariable logistic regression.Lower TG or higher HDL-C predicted severer stroke. The effect of TG on stroke severity was mediated by bilirubin, not HDL-C.

Abstract
CONTEXT Severe hypothyroidism has profound effects on lipoprotein metabolism including high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol elevations but effects on HDL function metrics are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of severe short-term hypothyroidism on HDL particle characteristics, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), and HDL antioxidative capacity. DESIGN Observational study with variables measured during severe short-term hypothyroidism (median TSH 81 mU/L) and after 20 weeks of thyroid hormone supplementation (median TSH 0.03 mU/L) (Netherlands Trial Registry ID 7228). SETTING University hospital setting in The Netherlands. PATIENTS Seventeen patients who had undergone a total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES HDL particle characteristics (nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry), CEC (human THP-1-derived macrophage foam cells and apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma), and HDL anti-oxidative capacity (inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation). RESULTS During hypothyroidism plasma total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I were increased (P ≤ 0.001). HDL particle concentration was unchanged, but there was a shift in HDL subclasses toward larger HDL particles (P < 0.001). CEC was decreased (P = 0.035), also when corrected for HDL cholesterol (P < 0.001) or HDL particle concentration (P = 0.011). HDL antioxidative capacity did not change. CONCLUSION During severe short-term hypothyroidism CEC, an important antiatherogenic metric of HDL function, is impaired. HDL cholesterol and larger HDL particles are increased but HDL particle concentration is unchanged. Combined, these findings suggest that HDL quality and quantity are not improved, reflecting dysfunctional HDL in hypothyroidism.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and its treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART) are associated with lipid abnormalities that may enhance cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). RECENT FINDINGS Chronic inflammation persists in HIV+ individuals, and complex relationships exist among lipids and inflammation, as immune activation may be both a cause and a consequence of lipid abnormalities in HIV infection. Advances in mass spectrometry-based techniques now allow for detailed measurements of individual lipid species; improved lipid measurement might better evaluate CVD risk compared with the prognostic value of traditional assessments. Lipidomic analyses have begun to characterize dynamic changes in lipid composition during HIV infection and following treatment with ART, and further investigation may identify novel lipid biomarkers predictive of adverse outcomes. Developing strategies to improve management of comorbidities in the HIV+ population is important, and statin therapy and lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise, may help to improve lipid levels and mitigate CVD risk.

Abstract
High concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are likely associated with a lower risk of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM). However, HDL particles vary in size and density with yet unestablished associations with PTDM risk. The aim of our study was to determine the association between different HDL particles and development of PTDM in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). We included 351 stable outpatient adult RTRs without diabetes at baseline evaluation. HDL particle characteristics and size were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. During 5.2 (IQR, 4.1‒5.8) years of follow-up, 39 (11%) RTRs developed PTDM. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, levels of HDL cholesterol (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40-0.94 per 1SD increase; p = 0.024) and of large HDL particles (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.93 per log 1SD increase; p = 0.017), as well as larger HDL size (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.93 per 1SD increase; p = 0.025) were inversely associated with PTDM development, independently of relevant covariates including, age, sex, body mass index, medication use, transplantation-specific parameters, blood pressure, triglycerides, and glucose. In conclusion, higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol and of large HDL particles and greater HDL size were associated with a lower risk of PTDM development in RTRs, independently of established risk factors for PTDM development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To evaluate the biomarkers related to cardiovascular risk in pre-pubertal preterm children with a birth weight of less than 1,500 g and relate them to current nutritional status, insulin resistance, and inflammation. METHODS & RESULTS This is a cross-sectional, controlled study with pre-pubertal preterm children aged 5-9 years with a birth weight of less than 1500 g (Preterm group, n = 44) compared to full term children of adequate weight for gestational age (Control group, n = 30). Clinical evaluation: anthropometry and pubertal staging. Laboratory tests: total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, paraoxonase 1, apolipoproteins A-I and B, myeloperoxidase (MPO), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), glycemia and insulin (to calculate HOMA-IR). In the preterm group, 19 (43.2%) were male, with mean birth weight and gestational age of 1157 ± 242 g and 30.0 ± 2.3 weeks, respectively. The preterm group showed lower concentrations of HDL-c (60.1 ± 10.1 vs. 69.0 ± 10.0 mg/dL; p < 0.001); higher concentrations of hs-CRP [0.55 mg/dL (0.30; 39.4) vs. 0.30 mg/dL (0.30; 10.80); p = 0.043], of MPO [21.1 ng/mL (5.7; 120.0) vs. 8.1 ng/mL (2.6; 29.6); p < 0.001] and of MPO/HDL-c ratio [0.39 (0.09; 2.07) ng/mg vs. 0.11 (0.05; 0.58)]. The MPO/HDL-c ratio was the variable that showed the best discriminatory power between the groups (AUC = 0.878; 95% CI; 0.795-0.961). MPO concentrations in the preterm group were correlated with those of hs-CRP (r = 0.390; p = 0.009), insulin (r = 0.448; p = 0.002) and HOMA-IR (r = 0.462; p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Prepubertal preterm children show high MPO concentrations and MPO/HDL-c ratio that are associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, which, in turn, may be associated with atherosclerosis.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol efflux capacity is not associated with atherosclerosis and prevalence of cardiovascular outcome: The CODAM study. J Clin Lipidol 2019; 14:122-132.e4. [PMID: 31791716 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2019.10.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 10/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholesterol Efflux Capacity (CEC) is considered to be a key atheroprotective property of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). However, the role of HDL-CEC in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular (CV) risk is still controversial, and data in individuals with diabetes are limited. OBJECTIVE In this study, we have investigated the relationship of CEC and other HDL characteristics with clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis in subjects with elevated cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Using multiple linear regression analyses, we determined the relationship of HDL-CEC with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT, Z-Score), an endothelial dysfunction (EnD) Score (Z-Score), prevalent CVD (n = 150 cases) and history of CV events (CVE, n = 85 cases) in an observational cohort (CODAM, n = 574, 59.6 ± 0.3 yr, 61.3% men, 24.4% T2DM). Stratified analyses were performed to determine if the associations differed between individuals with normal glucose metabolism (NGM) and those with disturbed glucose metabolism. RESULTS HDL-CEC was not associated with either marker of atherosclerosis (cIMT, EnD Score) nor with CVD or CVE. In contrast, other HDL characteristics that is, HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C, Z-Score), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I, Z-Score), HDL size (Z-Score) and HDL particle number (HDL-P, Z-Score) were inversely and significantly associated with the EnD Score (s -0.226 to -0.097, P < .05) and CVE (ORs 0.61 to 0.68, P < .05). In stratified analyses, HDL size and HDL-P were significantly associated with the EnD Score in individuals with NGM (Pinteraction .039 and .005, respectively), but not in those with (pre)diabetes. HDL-C and apoA-I were inversely associated with prevalent CVD in individuals with (pre)diabetes (Pinteraction = .074 and .034, respectively), but not in those with NGM. CONCLUSION HDL-CEC is not associated with clinical or subclinical atherosclerosis, neither in the whole population nor in individuals with (pre)diabetes, while other HDL characteristics show atheroprotective associations. The atheroprotective associations of HDL-size and HDL-P are lost in (pre)diabetes, while higher concentrations of HDL-C and apoA-I are associated with a lower prevalence of CVD in (pre)diabetes.

HDL Cholesterol Efflux Predicts Incident New-Onset Diabetes After Transplantation (NODAT) in Renal Transplant Recipients Independent of HDL Cholesterol Levels. Diabetes 2019; 68:1915-1923. [PMID: 31375510 DOI: 10.2337/db18-1267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
In renal transplant recipients (RTRs), new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a frequent and serious complication limiting survival of graft and patient. However, the underlying pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. In vitro and in preclinical models, HDL can preserve β-cell function, largely by mediating cholesterol efflux, but this concept has not been evaluated in humans. This study investigated whether baseline cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) in RTRs is associated with incident NODAT during follow-up. This prospective longitudinal study included 405 diabetes-free RTRs with a functioning graft for >1 year. During a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 9.6 (6.6-10.2) years, 57 patients (14.1%) developed NODAT. HDL CEC was quantified using incubation of human macrophage foam cells with apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma. Baseline CEC was significantly lower in patients developing NODAT during follow-up (median 6.84% [interquartile range 5.84-7.50%]) compared with the NODAT-free group (7.44% [6.46-8.60%]; P = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a lower risk for incident NODAT with increasing sex-stratified tertiles of HDL efflux capacity (P = 0.004). Linear regression analysis indicated that CEC is independently associated with incident NODAT (P = 0.04). In Cox regression analyses, CEC was significantly associated with NODAT (hazard ratio 0.53 [95% CI 0.38-0.76]; P < 0.001), independent of HDL cholesterol levels (P = 0.015), adiposity (P = 0.018), immunosuppressive medication (P = 0.001), and kidney function (P = 0.01). Addition of CEC significantly improved the predictive power of the Framingham Diabetes Risk Score (P = 0.004). This study establishes HDL CEC as a strong predictor of NODAT in RTRs, independent of several other recognized risk factors.

Anti-oxidative function of follicular fluid HDL and outcomes of modified natural cycle-IVF. Sci Rep 2019; 9:12817.

Abstract
High density lipoproteins (HDL) are the main cholesterol carriers in follicular fluid (FF), the natural environment of oocyte development. Additionally, HDL have critical biological functions such as anti-oxidative capacity, which have not been studied in reproduction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether the anti-oxidative function of FF-HDL is associated with fertility outcomes. From 253 women undergoing modified natural cycle (MNC)- IVF at a single academic centre FF and plasma were collected (n = 375 cycles). Anti-oxidative function of FF was mainly attributable to HDL (n = 8; 83%). FF-HDL had a higher anti-oxidative function than plasma HDL (n = 19, P < 0.001) coinciding with increased vitamin E and sphingosine 1 phosphate content (P = 0.028 each). Proteomic analysis indicated no significant differences in major anti-oxidative proteins such as paraoxonase 1, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I or apoA-IV between FF-HDL and matched plasma-HDL (n = 5), while apoC-III, apoE and apoC-II were relatively lower in FF-HDL. Finally, FF-HDL anti-oxidative function was related to a decrease in the odds of the oocyte undergoing normal fertilization, an association that persisted after adjustment for confounders (odds ratio 0.97 (0.93–1), P = 0.041). In conclusion, FF-HDL has considerable anti-oxidative properties that might be relevant for embryo quality.

Abstract
Objective:
Focus is shifting from HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) as predictive biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) towards antiatherogenic HDL functionalities. Still, limited data exist on the prospective association of HDL function metrics with CVD events. The current work aimed to determine, if baseline HDL-C efflux capacity (CEC) is associated with future CVD events in the general population.
Approach and Results:
We performed a prospective study among participants of the PREVEND (Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-stage Disease) cohort (follow-up, 12 years). From the overall n=8592 subjects 325 with previous CVD events were excluded; of the remaining 8267 eligible participants all subjects with new CVD events during follow-up were selected and individually matched to controls for age, sex, smoking status, and HDL-C levels. CEC at baseline was quantified using human THP-1-derived macrophage foam cells and apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma. Despite identical HDL-C and apoA (apolipoprotein)-I levels between cases (n=351) and controls (n=354) CEC was significantly lower in cases (0.93±0.29 versus 1.01±0.24 arbitrary units;
P
<0.001). In all subjects combined, CEC correlated positively with HDL-C and apoA-I and negatively with body mass index, hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and urinary albumin excretion. CEC was inversely associated with incident CVD events, both expressed per quartile and per 1 SD change (odds ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.62–0.86;
P
<0.001); this association remained significant after adjustments for HDL-C, hsCRP, kidney function, and several other clinical covariates.
Conclusions:
Combined these data demonstrate that in the general population baseline CEC is significantly associated with the future development of CVD events independent of HDL-C and apoA-I plasma levels.

Abstract
Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are known to have a high cardio-vascular disease (CVD) burden only partly explained by traditional CVD risk factors. The aim of this paper was therefore to determine: i) the prognostic value of autoantibodies against apoA-1 (anti-apoA-1 IgG) for incidence of CVD mortality, all-cause mortality and graft failure in RTR. Four hundred and sixty two (462) prospectively included RTRs were followed for 7.0 years. Baseline anti-apoA-1 IgG were determined and associations with incidence of CVD mortality (n = 48), all-cause mortality (n = 92) and graft failure (n = 39) were tested. Kaplan-Meier analyses demonstrated significant associations between tertiles of anti-apoA-1 IgG and CVD mortality (log rank test: p = 0.048). Adjusted Cox regression analysis showed a 54% increase in risk for CVD mortality for each anti-apoA-1 IgG levels standard deviation increase (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.54, 95% Confidence Interval [95%CI]: 1.14-2.05, p = 0.005), and a 33% increase for all-cause mortality (HR: 1.33; 95%CI: 1.06-1.67, p = 0.01), independent of CVD risk factors, renal function and HDL function. The association with all-cause mortality disappeared after excluding cases of CVD specific mortality. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of anti-apoA-1 positivity for CVD mortality were 18.0%, 89.3%, 17.0%, and 90.0%, respectively. HDL functionality was not associated with anti-apoA-1 IgG levels. This prospective study demonstrates that in RTR, anti-apoA-1 IgG are independent predictors of CVD mortality and are not associated with HDL functionality.

Antibodies Against the C-Terminus of ApoA-1 Are Inversely Associated with Cholesterol Efflux Capacity and HDL Metabolism in Subjects with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20030732.

Abstract
Background: We determined relationships of cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), plasma cholesterol esterification (EST) and cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) with anti-c-terminus apoA-1 (Ac-terAA1) and anti-apolipoprotein (apo)-1 (AAA1) autoantibodies in subjects with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Methods: In 75 T2D subjects and 75 nondiabetic subjects, Ac-terAA1 and AAA1 plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CEC was measured as [3H]-cholesterol efflux from human cultured fibroblasts to diluted individual subject plasma. Plasma EST and CET were assayed by isotope methods. Results: Ac-terAA1 and AAA1 levels and were similar between T2D and control subjects. Univariate regression analysis (n = 150) demonstrated that Ac-terAA1 levels were inversely correlated with CEC, EST, CET, total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B, (p < 0.05 to p < 0.01), but not with glucose and HbA1c. In separate multivariable linear regression models, CEC, EST and CET were inversely associated with Ac-terAA1 levels independently of age, sex, T2D and drug use (β = −0.186, p = 0.026; β = −0.261, p < 0.001; and β = −0.321, p < 0.001; respectively). These associations were lost after additional adjustment for non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. No associations were observed for AAA1. Conclusions: CEC, plasma EST and CET are inversely associated with Ac-terAA1 autoantibodies, conceivably attributable to an inverse relationship of these autoantibodies with apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins.

Abstract
Hashimoto autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most common cause of acquired hypothyroidism in the pediatric population. Development of AIT is mediated mainly by cellular immune response directed toward thyroid autoantigens, leading to inflammation and impaired function of thyroid gland. Both thyroid dysfunction and inflammation affect the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. The alterations in lipid profile worsen with the advancement of hypothyroidism, ranging from discrete changes in euthyroid AIT patients, to atherogenic dyslipidemia in the overt hypothyroidism. In this review, characteristics of dyslipidemia in pediatric AIT patients, and the consequences in respect to the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) development are discussed. Additionally, benefit of L-thyroxine treatment on serum lipid profile in pediatric AIT patients is addressed. Finally, potential usefulness of novel lipid biomarkers, such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), non-cholesterol sterols, low-density lipoprotein particle size and number, and high-density lipoprotein structure and functionality in AIT patients is also covered. Further longitudinal studies are needed in order to elucidate the long-term cardiovascular outcomes of dyslipidemia in pediatric patients with Hashimoto AIT.

Abstract
Background Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated enzyme with antioxidative properties, which may protect against the development of cardiovascular disease. Alcohol consumption increases HDL cholesterol, but the extent to which alcohol consumption gives rise to higher serum PON-1 activity is uncertain. Objective In a population-based study, we determined the relation of serum PON-1 activity with alcohol consumption when taking account of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), its major apolipoprotein. Design A cross-sectional study was performed in 8224 participants of the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease (PREVEND) cohort. Alcohol consumption was categorized as 1) no/rarely (25.3%); 2) 0.1-10 g/d (49.3%); 3) 10-30 g/d (20.1%); and 4) >30 g/d (5.2%) with 1 drink equivalent to 10 g alcohol. Serum PON-1 activity was measured as its arylesterase activity (phenyl acetate as substrate). Results Median serum PON-1 activity was 50.8, 53.1, 54.4, and 55.7 U/L in the 4 categories of alcohol consumption, respectively (P < 0.001). Its increase paralleled the increments in HDL cholesterol and apoA-I. Notably, there was no further increase in PON-1 activity, HDL cholesterol, and apoA-I when alcohol consumption was increased from 10-30 g/d to >30 g/d. Multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrated that PON-1 activity was related to alcohol consumption independently from clinical covariates, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and lipid concentrations, including HDL cholesterol (P < 0.001 for each category of alcohol consumption with no alcohol consumption as the reference category). Notably, as inferred from standardized β-coefficients, there was no difference in PON-1 activity between 10-30 g alcohol/d and >30 g alcohol/d. Conclusions Alcohol consumption is associated with an increase in serum PON-1 activity, but its effect seems to reach a plateau with alcohol consumption of 10-30 g/d.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) parallels the obesity epidemic and associates with components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) represents a key metric of high density lipoprotein (HDL) function which may predict atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here we assessed the relationship of CEC with NAFLD. METHODS CEC was determined from THP-1 macrophage foam cells towards apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma among 639 subjects (454 men; 36 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); 226 with MetS), participating in the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease (PREVEND) study. A Fatty Liver Index (FLI) ≥ 60 was used as a proxy of NAFLD. RESULTS 372 participants had a FLI ≥60, which coincided with an increased prevalence of T2D and MetS (p = 0.009 and p < 0.001), as well as with central obesity, higher systolic blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and decreased HDL cholesterol (p < 0.001 for each). In multivariable linear regression analyses, CEC was inversely associated with an elevated FLI, when taking account of clinical covariates (fully adjusted model: β = -0.091, p = 0.043), and alternatively when taking account of systolic blood pressure, waist/hip ratio, glucose, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and hsCRP (fully adjusted model: β = -0.103, p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Impaired CEC is associated with NAFLD, as inferred from a FLI≥60, even when taking account of lower HDL cholesterol and enhanced low-grade chronic inflammation. Reduced CEC could contribute to accelerated CVD in NAFLD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The focus in cardiovascular research is shifting from determining mass HDL cholesterol levels toward investigating HDL functionalities as biomarker for cardiovascular disease. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a main effector enzyme of the innate immune system, is increasingly implicated to negatively impact HDL function by various chemical modifications of HDL-associated proteins. This review summarizes recent insights how MPO affects HDL function in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI), mainly focusing on human data. RECENT FINDINGS First the mechanisms how MPO renders HDL particles dysfunctional and the usefulness of MPO as prospective biomarker for MI incidence and outcomes are described. Then the evidence for MPO causing specific HDL function impairments in MI and the clinical value of these observations is discussed in the context of the different HDL function assays employed. SUMMARY MPO modification of HDL in acute MI generates dysfunctional HDL. Features of HDL dysfunction can be used to stratify MI patients and seem associated with outcomes. More prospective studies are warranted to explore, if MPO-modified HDL is causally linked to severity and outcomes of MI. If this could be established, MPO would represent an attractive target to improve HDL dysfunction in MI and provide clinical benefit for patients.

J Clin Lipidol 2018; 12:1061-1071.e7. [PMID: 29699917 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2018.03.085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2017] [Revised: 03/21/2018] [Accepted: 03/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest a U-shaped association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, whether the increased mortality in patients with extreme levels is explained by specific causes of death remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We studied the associations between HDL-c and cause-specific deaths in CKD. METHODS We included 38,377 patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate 15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. We classified deaths into 3 major categories: (1) cardiovascular; (2) malignant; and (3) noncardiovascular/nonmalignant causes. We fitted Cox regression models for overall mortality and separate competing risk models for each major cause of death category to evaluate their respective associations with categories of HDL-c (≤30, 31-40, 41-50 [referent], 51-60, >60 mg/dL). Separate analyses were conducted for men and women. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.5 years, 9665 patients died. After adjusting for relevant covariates, in both sexes, HDL-c 31 to 40 mg/dL and ≤30 mg/dL were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, malignancy-related deaths, and noncardiovascular/nonmalignancy-related deaths. HDL-c >60 mg/dL was associated with lower all-cause (hazard ratio: 0.75, 95% confidence interval: 0.69, 0.81), cardiovascular, malignancy-related, and noncardiovascular/nonmalignancy-related deaths among women but not in men. Similar results were noted when HDL-c was examined as a continuous measure. CONCLUSIONS In a non-dialysis-dependent CKD population, HDL-c ≤40 mg/dL was associated with risk of higher all-cause, cardiovascular, malignant, and noncardiovascular/nonmalignant mortality in men and women. HDL >60 mg/dL was associated with lower risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, malignant, and noncardiovascular/nonmalignant mortality in women but not in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional properties of high density lipoproteins (HDL) are increasingly recognized to play a physiological role in atheroprotection. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by low HDL cholesterol, but the effect of chronic hyperglycemia on the anti-inflammatory capacity of HDL, a metric of HDL function, is unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish the impact of T2DM on the HDL anti-inflammatory capacity, taking paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity and low grade inflammation into account. METHODS The HDL anti-inflammatory capacity, determined as the ability to suppress tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) mRNA expression in endothelial cells in vitro (higher values indicate lower anti-inflammatory capacity), PON-1 (arylesterase) activity, hs-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA) and TNF-α were compared in 40 subjects with T2DM (no insulin or statin treatment) and 36 non-diabetic subjects. RESULTS T2DM was associated with impaired HDL anti-inflammatory capacity (3.18 vs 1.05 fold increase in VCAM-1 mRNA expression; P < 0.001), coinciding with decreased HDL cholesterol (P = 0.001), apolipoprotein A-I (P = 0.038) and PON-1 activity (P = 0.023), as well as increased hs-CRP (P = 0.043) and TNF-α (P = 0.005). In all subjects combined, age- and sex-adjusted multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrated that impaired HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was associated with hyperglycemia (β = 0.499, P < 0.001), lower PON-1 activity (β = - 0.192, P = 0.030) and higher hs-CRP (β = 0.220, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS The HDL anti-inflammatory capacity is substantially impaired in T2DM, at least partly attributable to the degree of hyperglycemia, decreased PON-1 activity and enhanced low grade chronic inflammation. Decreased anti-inflammatory protection capacity of HDL conceivably contributes to the increased atherosclerosis risk associated with T2DM.

Abstract
SCOPE Non-digestible oligosaccharides are used as prebiotics for perceived health benefits, among these modulating lipid metabolism. However, the mechanisms of action are incompletely understood. The present study characterized the impact of dietary ß-cyclodextrin (ßCD, 10%, w/w), a cyclic oligosaccharide, on sterol metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in conventional and also germ-free mice to establish dependency on metabolism by intestinal bacteria. METHODS AND RESULTS In conventional ßCD-fed C57BL/6J wild-type mice plasma cholesterol decreased significantly (-40%, p < 0.05), largely within HDL, while fecal neutral sterol excretion increased (3-fold, p < 0.01) and fecal bile acid excretion was unchanged. Hepatic cholesterol levels and biliary cholesterol secretion were unaltered. Changes in cholesterol metabolism translated into increased macrophage-to-feces RCT in ßCD-administered mice (1.5-fold, p < 0.05). In germ-free C57BL/6J mice ßCD similarly lowered plasma cholesterol (-40%, p < 0.05). However, ßCD increased fecal neutral sterol excretion (7.5-fold, p < 0.01), bile acid excretion (2-fold, p < 0.05) and RCT (2.5-fold, p < 0.01) even more substantially in germ-free mice compared with the effect in conventional mice. CONCLUSION In summary, this study demonstrates that ßCD lowers plasma cholesterol levels and increases fecal cholesterol excretion from a RCT-relevant pool. Intestinal bacteria decrease the impact of ßCD on RCT. These data suggest that dietary ßCD might have cardiovascular health benefits.

High density lipoprotein (HDL) particles from end-stage renal disease patients are defective in promoting reverse cholesterol transport. Sci Rep 2017; 7:41481.

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

Abstract
The cardioprotective effect of HDL is thought to be largely determined by its cholesterol efflux capacity, which was shown to inversely correlate with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in populations with normal kidney function. Patients with ESRD suffer an exceptionally high cardiovascular risk not fully explained by traditional risk factors. Here, in a post hoc analysis in 1147 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on hemodialysis who participated in the German Diabetes Dialysis Study (4D Study), we investigated whether the HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is predictive for cardiovascular risk. Efflux capacity was quantified by incubating human macrophage foam cells with apoB-depleted serum. During a median follow-up of 4.1 years, 423 patients reached the combined primary end point (composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and stroke), 410 patients experienced cardiac events, and 561 patients died. Notably, in Cox regression analyses, we found no association of efflux capacity with the combined primary end point (hazard ratio [HR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.88 to 1.06; P=0.42), cardiac events (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.02; P=0.11), or all-cause mortality (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.05; P=0.39). In conclusion, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is not a prognostic cardiovascular risk marker in this cohort of patients with diabetes on hemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) protect against the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. HDL function represents an emerging concept in cardiovascular research. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the association between HDL functionality and acute myocardial infarction (MI) independent of HDL-cholesterol plasma levels. METHODS Participants (non-ST-segment elevation MI, non-STEMI, n = 41; STEMI, n = 37; non-MI patients, n = 33) from a prospective follow-up study enrolling patients with acute chest pain were matched for age and plasma HDL cholesterol. The in vitro capacity of HDL to (1) mediate cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells, (2) prevent low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and (3) inhibit TNF-α-induced vascular adhesion molecule-1 expression in endothelial cells was determined. RESULTS STEMI-HDL displayed reduced cholesterol efflux (P < .001) and anti-inflammatory functionality (P = .001), whereas the antioxidative properties were unaltered. Cholesterol efflux correlated with the anti-inflammatory HDL activity (P < .001). Not C-reactive protein levels, a marker of systemic inflammation, but specifically plasma myeloperoxidase levels were independently associated with impaired HDL function (efflux: P = .022; anti-inflammation: P < .001). Subjects in the higher risk quartile of efflux (odds ratio [OR], 5.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.26-25.00; P = .024) as well as anti-inflammatory functionality of HDL (OR, 5.53; 95% CI, 1.83-16.73; P = .002) had a higher OR for MI vs those in the three lower risk quartiles combined. CONCLUSION Independent of plasma HDL cholesterol levels, 2 of 3 antiatherogenic HDL functionalities tested were significantly impaired in STEMI patients, namely cholesterol efflux and anti-inflammatory properties. Increased myeloperoxidase levels might represent a major contributing mechanism for decreased HDL functionality in MI patients.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) is a key metric of the anti-atherosclerotic functionality of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). The present study aimed to delineate if T2DM and MetS cross-sectionally associate with altered CEC in a large high cardiometabolic risk population. CEC was determined from THP-1 macrophage foam cells towards apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma from 552 subjects of the CODAM cohort (288 controls, 126 impaired glucose metabolism [IGM], 138 T2DM). MetS was present in 297 participants. CEC was not different between different glucose tolerance categories but was lower in MetS (P < 0.001), at least partly attributable to lower HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and apoA-I levels (P < 0.001 for each). Low grade inflammation was increased in IGM, T2DM and MetS as determined by a score comprising 8 different biomarkers (P < 0.05-< 0.001; n = 547). CEC inversely associated with low-grade inflammation taking account of HDL-C or apoA-I in MetS (P < 0.02), but not in subjects without MetS (interaction: P = 0.015). This study demonstrates that IGM and T2DM do not impact the HDL CEC function, while efflux is lower in MetS, partly dependent on plasma HDL-C levels. Enhanced low-grade inflammation in MetS may conceivably impair CEC even independent of HDL-C and apoA-I.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protection of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) against oxidative modification is a key anti-atherosclerotic property of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). This study evaluated the predictive value of the HDL antioxidative function for cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and chronic graft failure in renal transplant recipients (RTR). METHODS The capacity of HDL to inhibit native LDL oxidation was determined in vitro in a prospective cohort of renal transplant recipients (RTR, n = 495, median follow-up 7.0 years). RESULTS The HDL antioxidative functionality was significantly higher in patients experiencing graft failure (57.4 ± 9.7%) than in those without (54.2 ± 11.3%; P = 0.039), while there were no differences for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Specifically glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.001) and C-reactive protein levels (P = 0.006) associated independently with antioxidative functionality in multivariate linear regression analyses. Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between antioxidative functionality of HDL and graft failure in age-adjusted analyses, but significance was lost following adjustment for baseline kidney function and inflammatory load. No significant association was found between HDL antioxidative functionality and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that the antioxidative function of HDL (i) does not predict cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in RTR, but (ii) conceivably contributes to the development of graft failure, however, not independent of baseline kidney function and inflammatory load.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objective— Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the mechanism of which is incompletely understood. Their high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in plasma have been reported to have impaired cholesterol efflux capacity. However, the efflux capacity of HDL from interstitial fluid (IF), the starting point for reverse cholesterol transport, has not been studied. We here investigated the cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL from IF and plasma from T2D patients and healthy controls. Approach and Results— HDL was isolated from IF and peripheral plasma from 35 T2D patients and 35 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Cholesterol efflux to HDL was determined in vitro, normalized for HDL cholesterol, using cholesterol-loaded macrophages. Efflux capacity of plasma HDL was 10% lower in T2D patients than in healthy controls, in line with previous observations. This difference was much more pronounced for HDL from IF, where efflux capacity was reduced by 28% in T2D. Somewhat surprisingly, the efflux capacity of HDL from IF was lower than that of plasma HDL, by 15% and 32% in controls and T2D patients, respectively. Conclusion— These data demonstrate that (1) HDL from IF has a lower cholesterol efflux capacity than plasma HDL and (2) the efflux capacity of HDL from IF is severely impaired in T2D when compared with controls. Because IF comprises the compartment where reverse cholesterol transport is initiated, the marked reduction in cholesterol efflux capacity of IF-HDL from T2D patients may play an important role for their increased risk to develop atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Altered lipoprotein metabolism plays a key role during atherogenesis. For over 50years, epidemiological data have fueled the proposal that HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c) in circulation is inversely correlated to cardiovascular risk. However, the atheroprotective role of HDL is currently the focus of much debate and remains an active field of research. The emerging picture from research in the past decade suggests that HDL function, rather than HDL-c content, is important in disease. Recent developments demonstrate that miRNAs play an important role in fine-tuning the expression of key genes involved in HDL biogenesis, lipidation, and clearance, as well as in determining the amounts of HDL-c in circulation. Thus, it has been proposed that miRNAs that affect HDL metabolism might be exploited therapeutically in patients. Whether HDL-based therapies, alone or in combination with LDL-based treatments (e.g. statins), provide superior outcomes in patients has been recently questioned by human genetics studies and clinical trials. The switch in focus from "HDL-cholesterol" to "HDL function" opens a new paradigm to understand the physiology and therapeutic potential of HDL, and to find novel modulators of cardiovascular risk. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on the regulation of HDL metabolism and function by miRNAs.

Abstract
Objective Metformin affects low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density (HDL) subfractions in the context of impaired glucose tolerance, but its effects in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) are unknown. We determined whether metformin administration affects lipoprotein subfractions 4 months after ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI). Second, we assessed associations of lipoprotein subfractions with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and infarct size 4 months after STEMI. Methods 371 participants without known diabetes participating in the GIPS-III trial, a placebo controlled, double-blind randomized trial studying the effect of metformin (500 mg bid) during 4 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI were included of whom 317 completed follow-up (clinicaltrial.gov Identifier: NCT01217307). Lipoprotein subfractions were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at presentation, 24 hours and 4 months after STEMI. (Apo)lipoprotein measures were obtained during acute STEMI and 4 months post-STEMI. LVEF and infarct size were measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Results Metformin treatment slightly decreased LDL cholesterol levels (adjusted P = 0.01), whereas apoB remained unchanged. Large LDL particles and LDL size were also decreased after metformin treatment (adjusted P<0.001). After adjustment for covariates, increased small HDL particles at 24 hours after STEMI predicted higher LVEF (P = 0.005). In addition, increased medium-sized VLDL particles at the same time point predicted a smaller infarct size (P<0.001). Conclusion LDL cholesterol and large LDL particles were decreased during 4 months treatment with metformin started early after MI. Higher small HDL and medium VLDL particle concentrations are associated with favorable LVEF and infarct size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) exerts anti-oxidative properties, whereas phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is able to convert mature HDL into larger and smaller HDL particles. Here we tested associations of PON-1 with PLTP in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a condition characterized by lower PON-1 activity and higher PLTP activity. DESIGN AND METHODS Serum PON-1 (arylesterase activity), plasma PLTP activity (liposome-vesicle HDL system), and (apo)lipoproteins were measured in 81 T2DM subjects (mean age 59±9years; 31 women; no insulin treatment). In 48 participants, HDL subfractions were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS In univariate correlation analysis, PON-1 activity was positively related to PLTP activity (r=0.348, p=0.001). PLTP activity was positively related to blood pressure, body mass index and triglycerides, whereas PON-1 activity was positively to HDL cholesterol and apoA-I (p<0.05 to <0.01 for each). Both PLTP activity and PON-I activity were positively related to large HDL particles (r=0.379, p=0.008 and r=0.411, p=0.004, respectively). In multivariable linear regression analysis, PON-1 activity was associated with PLTP activity independent of clinical covariates and HDL cholesterol or apoA-I (β=0.340, p=0.001 and β=0.320, p=0.003, respectively). The association of PON-1 activity with PLTP activity was lost in analysis which included large HDL particles (large HDL: β=0.411, p=0.004). CONCLUSIONS PON-1 activity is positively related to PLTP activity in T2DM, raising the possibility that PLTP could act to maintain PON-1. This association may in part be attributable to a common relationship of PON-1 and PLTP with large HDL particles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low-normal thyroid function within the euthyroid range may influence plasma lipoprotein levels. Associations between variation in thyroid function and pre-β-high density lipoproteins (pre-β-HDL), i.e. lipid-poor or lipid free HDL particles that act as initial acceptor of cell-derived cholesterol, are unknown. We determined relationships of plasma pre-β-HDL with thyroid function in euthyroid subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DESIGN AND SUBJECTS TSH, free T4, plasma (apo)lipoproteins, pre-β-HDL, pre-β-HDL formation (pre-β-HDL generation during incubation with lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase being inhibited) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity were measured in fasting plasma from 72 T2DM and 82 non-diabetic subjects. RESULTS TSH was similar and free T4 was slightly higher (P < 0.05) in T2DM vs. non-diabetic subjects. HDL cholesterol and apoA-I were lower, whereas pre-β-HDL (expressed as % of apoA-I), triglycerides and PLTP activity were higher in T2DM (P < 0.05 to P < 0.001). In T2DM, pre-β-HDL formation (in apoA-I concentration and in % of apoA-I) was positively related to free T4, PLTP activity, total cholesterol and triglycerides (P < 0.05 for each). Multivariable linear regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, PLTP activity, total cholesterol and triglycerides, demonstrated that pre-β-HDL formation was positively related to free T4 (in apoA-I concentration: β = 0.278, P = 0.014; in % of apoA-I: β = 0.343, P = 0.003) in T2DM, but not in non-diabetic subjects (both P > 0.30; interaction terms: both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Variations in thyroid function within the euthyroid range may influence the metabolism of pre-β-HDL in T2DM.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are involved in the protection against cardiovascular disease by promoting cholesterol efflux, in which accumulated cholesterol is removed from macrophage foam cells. We investigated whether HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is associated with cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, and graft failure in a cohort of renal transplant recipients (n=495, median follow-up 7.0 years). Cholesterol efflux capacity at baseline was quantified using incubation of human macrophage foam cells with apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma. Baseline efflux capacity was not different in deceased patients and survivors (P=0.60 or P=0.50 for cardiovascular or all-cause mortality, respectively), whereas recipients developing graft failure had lower efflux capacity than those with functioning grafts (P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a lower risk for graft failure (P=0.004) but not cardiovascular (P=0.30) or all-cause mortality (P=0.31) with increasing gender-stratified tertiles of efflux capacity. Cox regression analyses adjusted for age and gender showed that efflux capacity was not associated with cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.67 to 1.19; P=0.43). Furthermore, the association between efflux capacity and all-cause mortality (HR, .79; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.98; P=0.031) disappeared after further adjustment for potential confounders. However, efflux capacity at baseline significantly predicted graft failure (HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.64; P<0.001) independent of apolipoprotein A-I, HDL cholesterol, or creatinine clearance. In conclusion, this prospective study shows that cholesterol efflux capacity from macrophage foam cells is not associated with cardiovascular or all-cause mortality but is a strong predictor of graft failure independent of plasma HDL cholesterol levels in renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cholesterol-esterifying enzyme, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), is instrumental in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) remodelling. LCAT may also modify oxidative and inflammatory processes, as supported by an inverse relationship with HDL antioxidative functionality and a positive relationship with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). GlycA is a recently developed proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-measured biomarker of inflammation whose signal originates from a subset of N-acetylglucosamine residues on the most abundant glycosylated acute-phase proteins. Plasma GlycA correlates positively with hsCRP and may predict cardiovascular disease even independent of hsCRP. Here, we tested the extent to which plasma GlycA is elevated in metabolic syndrome (MetS), and determined its relationship with LCAT activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma GlycA, hsCRP, serum amyloid A (SAA), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and LCAT activity were measured in 58 subjects with MetS (including 46 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)) and in 45 nondiabetic subjects without MetS. RESULTS Plasma GlycA was higher in MetS coinciding with higher hsCRP and LCAT activity (P < 0.01 for each). In all subjects combined, GlycA was correlated positively with hsCRP, SAA and LCAT activity (P < 0.001 for each), but not with TNF-α. Age- and sex-adjusted multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that GlycA was positively associated with LCAT activity (P = 0.029), independent of the presence of MetS, T2DM, hsCRP and SAA. GlycA was unrelated to diabetes status. CONCLUSION A pro-inflammatory glycoprotein biomarker, GlycA, is higher in MetS. Higher plasma levels of this glycoprotein biomarker relate to increased LCAT activity in the setting of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subclinical hypothyroidism may adversely affect the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Less is known about the role of low-normal thyroid function, that is higher thyroid-stimulating hormone and/or lower free thyroxine levels within the euthyroid reference range, in the development of cardio-metabolic disorders. This review is focused on the relationship of low-normal thyroid function with CVD, plasma lipids and lipoprotein function, as well as with metabolic syndrome (MetS), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MATERIALS AND METHODS This narrative review, which includes results from previously published systematic reviews and meta-analyses, is based on clinical and basic research papers, obtained via MEDLINE and PubMed up to November 2014. RESULTS Low-normal thyroid function could adversely affect the development of (subclinical) atherosclerotic manifestations. It is likely that low-normal thyroid function relates to modest increases in plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and may convey pro-atherogenic changes in lipoprotein metabolism and in HDL function. Most available data support the concept that low-normal thyroid function is associated with MetS, insulin resistance and CKD, but not with high blood pressure. Inconsistent effects of low-normal thyroid function on NAFLD have been reported so far. CONCLUSIONS Observational studies suggest that low-normal thyroid function may be implicated in the pathogenesis of CVD. Low-normal thyroid function could also play a role in the development of MetS, insulin resistance and CKD, but the relationship with NAFLD is uncertain. The extent to which low-normal thyroid function prospectively predicts cardio-metabolic disorders has been insufficiently established so far.
