Humans with atherosclerosis have impaired ABCA1 cholesterol efflux and enhanced high-density lipoprotein oxidation by myeloperoxidase.

ABSTRACT: The efflux capacity of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) with cultured macrophages associates strongly and negatively with coronary artery disease status, indicating that impaired sterol efflux capacity might be a marker-and perhaps mediator-of atherosclerotic burden. However, the mechanisms that contribute to impaired sterol efflux capacity remain poorly understood.Our aim was to determine the relationship between myeloperoxidase-mediated oxidative damage to apolipoprotein A-I, the major HDL protein, and the ability of HDL to remove cellular cholesterol by the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) pathway.We quantified both site-specific oxidation of apolipoprotein A-I and HDL's ABCA1 cholesterol efflux capacity in control subjects and subjects with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome. Subjects with coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome had higher levels of chlorinated tyrosine 192 and oxidized methionine 148 compared with control subjects. In contrast, plasma levels of myeloperoxidase did not differ between the groups. HDL from the subjects with coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome was less able to accept cholesterol from cells expressing ABCA1 compared with HDL from control subjects. Levels of chlorinated tyrosine and oxidized methionine associated inversely with ABCA1 efflux capacity and positively with atherosclerotic disease status. These differences remained significant after adjusting for HDL-cholesterol levels.Our observations indicate that myeloperoxidase may contribute to the generation of dysfunctional HDL with impaired ABCA1 efflux capacity in humans with atherosclerosis. Quantification of chlorotyrosine and oxidized methionine in circulating HDL might be useful indicators of the risk of cardiovascular disease that are independent of HDL-cholesterol.

Project description:High-density lipoprotein (HDL) may provide cardiovascular protection by promoting reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages. We hypothesized that the capacity of HDL to accept cholesterol from macrophages would serve as a predictor of atherosclerotic burden.We measured cholesterol efflux capacity in 203 healthy volunteers who underwent assessment of carotid artery intima-media thickness, 442 patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease, and 351 patients without such angiographically confirmed disease. We quantified efflux capacity by using a validated ex vivo system that involved incubation of macrophages with apolipoprotein B-depleted serum from the study participants.The levels of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I were significant determinants of cholesterol efflux capacity but accounted for less than 40% of the observed variation. An inverse relationship was noted between efflux capacity and carotid intima-media thickness both before and after adjustment for the HDL cholesterol level. Furthermore, efflux capacity was a strong inverse predictor of coronary disease status (adjusted odds ratio for coronary disease per 1-SD increase in efflux capacity, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.83; P<0.001). This relationship was attenuated, but remained significant, after additional adjustment for the HDL cholesterol level (odds ratio per 1-SD increase, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.90; P=0.002) or apolipoprotein A-I level (odds ratio per 1-SD increase, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.89; P=0.002). Additional studies showed enhanced efflux capacity in patients with the metabolic syndrome and low HDL cholesterol levels who were treated with pioglitazone, but not in patients with hypercholesterolemia who were treated with statins.Cholesterol efflux capacity from macrophages, a metric of HDL function, has a strong inverse association with both carotid intima-media thickness and the likelihood of angiographic coronary artery disease, independently of the HDL cholesterol level.

Project description:BackgroundCholesterol 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.ObjectiveIn 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).MethodsUsing 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.ResultsHDL-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.ConclusionHDL-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.
