High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and arterial calcification in midlife women: the contribution of estradiol and C-reactive protein.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Studies suggest a reversal in the protective association of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular disease in women traversing menopause. Decreasing estrogen levels during the transition, as well as inflammation, may explain this reversal. We tested whether either estradiol or C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations modified the association of HDL-C with aortic (AC) or coronary artery calcification (CAC).

Methods

A total of 478 participants between ages 46 to 59 from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation Heart baseline visit were included. AC and CAC presence were defined as Agatston score of 100 or higher and 10 or higher, respectively. Logistic regression was used for analysis.

Results

A total of 112 (23.53%) participants had AC 100 or higher and 104 (21.76%) had CAC 10 or higher. In unadjusted models, a 1-mg/dL higher in HDL-C was associated with 3% lower odds of AC (95% CI: 0.95-0.99) and 4% lower odds of CAC (95% CI: 0.95-0.98). In adjusted models, a significant interaction between HDL-C and estradiol with respect to AC but not CAC was detected, such that higher HDL-C level was protective at the highest estradiol quartile (odds ratio: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.99 per 1 mg/dL higher HDL-C, P = 0.03) but tended to associate with greater risk at the lowest quartile (odds ratio: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.98-1.10 per 1 mg/dL higher HDL-C, P = 0.16). CRP did not modify any association.

Conclusions

The protective cardiovascular association of higher HDL-C levels on AC was modified by estradiol but not CRP concentrations. The pathways through which estradiol might influence this association should be further investigated.

Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is strongly associated with NIHSS score and intracranial arterial calcification in acute ischemic stroke subjects.

Project description:Intracranial artery calcification (IAC) is an important risk factor for cerebral infarction and a key biomarker for intracranial artery stenosis. Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sd-LDL-c) was independently associated with increased cardiovascular events and coronary calcification. Our study assessed whether sd-LDL-c is an independent factor for IAC in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This cross-sectional study involved a total of 754 patients with AIS (mean age: 65?±?13.2 years). All the patients had received brain computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination to evaluate IAC. Serum sd-LDL-c levels and other biochemical parameters were analyzed. Admission NIHSS score and mRS score at discharge were collected. After 60-days 85 patients died during hospitalization and follow-up. Partial correlation analysis showed that serum sd-LDL-c levels were associated with admission NIHSS score and IAC score after adjusted age and gender. Logistic regression analysis showed that serum sd-LDL-c levels independently predicted NIHSS scores (??=?1.537, 95%CI: 0.134-2.878, p?=?0.042) and IAC scores (??=?1.355, 95%CI: 0.319-2.446, p?=?0.015). The average level of sd-LDL-c in patients who died was also significantly increased compared to survival patients (1.04?±?0.59 vs 0.88?±?0.44?mmol/L, p?=?0.017). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed serum sd-LDL-c levels could not predict all-cause mortality and prognosis in AIS patients. Our study found that sd-LDL-c as a strong atherogenic lipid particle can independently predict admission NIHSS scores and the severity of cerebral artery calcification in AIS patients. However, its prognostic value in AIS patients still needs further study in the future.

AMP-kinase alpha2 subunit gene PRKAA2 variants are associated with total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in normal women.

Project description:Background5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inactivates critial ensymes in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. We hypothesised that the serum lipid profile may be influenced by genetic variation in the AMPK catalytic alpha2 subunit.MethodWe examined association of 5 tagging SNPs (tSNPs) in the PRKAA2 gene with serum lipids in 2777 normal Caucasian females (mean age 47.4+/-12.5 years).ResultsAll tSNPs were associated with total- and LDL-cholesterol, (p<0.001 to 0.034), explaining variances of 0.13-0.59% and 0.11-0.55% respectively. One haplotype (frequency 34.7%) showed lower total- and LDL-cholesterol compared with the most common haplotype (frequency 45.7%) (p< or =0.001), explaining 0.78% of total- and 0.75% of LDL-cholesterol. Another haplotype (frequency 10.5%) was significantly associated with lower HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.005), explaining 0.59% of variance.ConclusionsPRKAA2 gene variants are significantly associated with serum lipoproteins in a large sample of normal female Caucasians.

Apolipoprotein B discordance with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in relation to coronary artery calcification in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

Project description:BackgroundDiscordant levels of apolipoprotein B (apo B) relative to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) may be associated with subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).ObjectiveThe present study investigated whether discordance between apo B and LDL-C or non-HDL-C levels was associated with subclinical ASCVD measured by coronary artery calcium (CAC).MethodsThis study was conducted in a subpopulation of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort, aged 45 to 84 years, free of ASCVD, and not taking lipid-lowering medications at the baseline (2000-2002) (prevalence analytic N = 4623; incidence analytic N = 2216; progression analytic N = 3947). Apo B discordance relative to LDL-C and non-HDL-C was defined using residuals and percentile rankings (>5/10/15 percentile). Associations with prevalent and incident CAC (CAC > 0 vs CAC = 0) were assessed using prevalence ratio/relative risk regression and CAC progression (absolute increase/year) using multinomial logistic regression.ResultsHigher apo B levels were associated with CAC prevalence, incidence, and progression. Apo B discordance relative to LDL-C or non-HDL-C was inconsistently associated with CAC prevalence and progression. Discordantly high apo B relative to LDL-C and non-HDL-C was associated with CAC progression. Associations for apo B discordance with non-HDL-C remained after further adjustment for metabolic syndrome components.ConclusionApo B was associated with CAC among adults aged ?45 years not taking statins, but provided only modest additional predictive value of apo B for CAC prevalence, incidence, or progression beyond LDL-C or non-HDL-C. Apo B discordance may still be important for ASCVD risk assessment and further research is needed to confirm findings.

Contribution and interaction of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and triglyceride to diabetes in hypertensive patients: A cross-sectional study.

Project description:AIMS/INTRODUCTION:Hypertension is one of the most significant risk factors for diabetes. The present study aimed to investigate the associations of lipid profiles, including the ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels, as well as their interactions, with type 2 diabetes in hypertensive patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Hypertensive patients without a history of diabetes and hypolipidemic agents were enrolled continuously at the Hypertension Clinic, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China) from 2014 to 2016. General clinical data, including body mass index, blood pressure, fasting glucose and 2-h post-load glucose levels, and lipid profiles, were collected. The LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio and TC/HDL-C ratio were separately calculated. Statistical analyses were carried out by using SPSS software (version 13.0). RESULTS:In total, 935 hypertensive patients were included, of which 114 patients (12.2%) were diagnosed with diabetes. After multivariate adjustments, the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and TG levels had the most significant and independent associations with diabetes. In the multivariate logistic regression, the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and TG were independently associated with diabetes. After the interaction variable was included, the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio remained independently associated with diabetes, but TG was replaced by TG*LDL-C/HDL-C. CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, elevated LDL-C/HDL-C ratios and TG levels were associated with diabetes in patients with hypertension, with an interactive effect of the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and TG on diabetes in the hypertensive population.

CYP4A11 variant is associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in women.

Project description:The ?-hydroxylase CYP4A11 catalyzes the transformation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to ?-hydroxylated EETs, endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? (PPAR?) agonists. PPAR? activation increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). A cytosine-for-thymidine (T8590C) variant of CYP4A11 encodes for an ?-hydroxylase with reduced activity. This study examined the relationship between CYP4A11 T8590C genotype and metabolic parameters in the Framingham Offspring Study and in a clinical practice-based biobank, BioVU. In women in the Framingham Offspring Study, the CYP4A11 8590C allele was associated with reduced HDL-C concentrations (52.1±0.5?mg?dl(-1) in CYP4A11 CC- or CT-genotype women versus 54.8±0.5?mg?dl(-1) in TT women at visit 2, P=0.02), and with an increased prevalence of low HDL-C, defined categorically as ?50?mg?dl(-1) (odds ratio 1.39 (95% CI 1.02-1.90), P=0.04). In the BioVU cohort, the CYP4A11 8590C allele was also associated with low HDL-C in women (odds ratio 1.69 (95% CI 1.03-2.77, P=0.04)). There was no relationship between genotype and HDL-C in men in either cohort.

Inclisiran, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Lipoprotein (a).

Project description:Dyslipidemia treatment is of major importance in reducing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is still the most common cause of death worldwide. During the last decade, a novel lipid-lowering drug category has emerged, i.e., proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors. Apart from the two available anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies (alirocumab and evolocumab), other nucleic acid-based therapies that inhibit or "silence" the expression of PCSK9 are being developed. Among them, inclisiran is the first-in-class small interfering RNA (siRNA) against PCSK9 that has been approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Importantly, inclisiran therapy may improve low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target achievement by offering a prolonged and significant LDL-C-lowering effect with the administration of only two doses per year. The present narrative review discusses the ORION/VICTORION clinical trial program that has been designed to investigate the impact of inclisiran on atherogenic lipoproteins and major adverse cardiac events in different patient populations. The results of the completed clinical trials are presented, focusing on the effects of inclisiran on LDL-C and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) levels as well as on other lipid parameters such as apolipoprotein B and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C). Ongoing clinical trials with inclisiran are also discussed.

Polygenic Contribution to Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels and Cardiovascular Risk in Monogenic Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

Project description:BackgroundFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common autosomal codominant genetic disorder, which causes elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Even among individuals with monogenic FH, there is substantial interindividual variability in LDL-C levels and risk of ASCVD. We assessed the influence of an LDL-C polygenic score on levels of LDL-C and risk of ASCVD for individuals with monogenic FH.MethodsWe constructed a weighted LDL-C polygenic score, composed of 28 single-nucleotide variants, for individuals with monogenic FH from the British Columbia FH (n=262); Nutrition, Metabolism and Atherosclerosis Clinic (n=552); and UK Biobank cohorts (n=306). We assessed the association between LDL-C polygenic score with LDL-C levels and ASCVD risk using linear regression and Cox-proportional hazard models, respectively. ASCVD was defined as myocardial infarction, coronary or carotid revascularization, transient ischemic attack, or stroke. The results from individual cohorts were combined in fixed-effect meta-analyses.ResultsLevels of LDL-C were significantly associated with LDL-C polygenic score in the Nutrition, Metabolism and Atherosclerosis Clinic cohort, UK Biobank cohort, and in the meta-analysis (β [95% CI]=0.13 [0.072-0.19] per a 20% increase in LDL-C polygenic score percentile, P<0.0001). Additionally, an elevated LDL-C polygenic score (≥80th percentile) was associated with a trend towards increased ASCVD risk in all 3 cohorts individually. This association was statistically significant in the meta-analysis (hazard ratio [95% CI]=1.48 [1.02-2.14], P=0.04).ConclusionsPolygenic contributions to LDL-C explain some of the heterogeneity in clinical presentation and ASCVD risk for individuals with FH.

n-3 Fatty acids decrease arterial low-density lipoprotein cholesterol delivery and lipoprotein lipase levels in insulin-resistant mice.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To determine whether n-3 fatty acids (n-3) influence arterial cholesterol delivery and lipoprotein lipase (LpL) levels in insulin-resistant mice. METHODS AND RESULTS:Insulin resistance contributes to risk of cardiovascular disease. It was previously reported that saturated fat (SAT) diets increased, but n-3 diets decreased, arterial low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol deposition from LDL total and selective uptake; this was associated with increased or decreased arterial LpL, respectively. Insulin receptor transgenic knockout mice (L1) were fed a chow, SAT, or n-3 diet for 12 weeks. Double-fluorescent boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-cholesteryl ester (CE) and Alexa dye-labeled human LDL were injected to separately trace LDL-CE and LDL-apolipoprotein B whole particle uptake. In contrast to SAT, n-3 diets markedly reduced all plasma lipids, ameliorating progression of insulin resistance. As opposed to SAT, n-3 reduced arterial LDL uptake, CE deposition, and selective uptake. Disparate patterns of CE deposition between diets were comparable with arterial LpL distribution; SAT induced high LpL levels throughout aortic media; LpL was limited only to intima in n-3-fed mice. CONCLUSIONS:n-3 diets diminish arterial LDL-cholesterol deposition in mice with insulin resistance, and this is associated with changes in arterial LpL levels and distribution.

High density lipoprotein cholesterol / C reactive protein ratio in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Project description:AimsThe impacts of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as an anti-inflammatory and C reactive protein (CRP) as inflammatory properties on the pathogenesis of heart failure were reported. At present, the clinical significance of the HDL-C/CRP ratio in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients remains unknown.Methods and resultsWe examined the data on 796 consecutive HFpEF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%) patients hospitalized due to acute decompensated heart failure from the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry, a prospective, multicentre observational study. We calculated the HDL/CRP ratios and evaluated the relationship between the values and clinical outcomes, including degree of cardiac function. The mean follow-up duration was 420 ± 346 days. All-cause death occurred in 118 patients, of which 51 were cardiac deaths. HDL/CRP ≤ 4.05 was independently and significantly associated with all-cause death (odds ratio = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.06-3.20, P = 0.023), and HDL/CRP ≤ 3.14 was associated with cardiac death by multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (odds ratio = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.36-6.01, P = 0.003). HDL-C/CRP ratio significantly correlated with the product of the left atrial volume and left ventricular mass index as well as the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion by multiple regression analysis (standardized beta-coefficient = -0.085, P = 0.034 and standardized beta-coefficient = 0.081, P = 0.044, respectively).ConclusionsHDL-C/CRP ratio was a useful marker for predicting all-cause death and cardiac death and correlated with left ventricular diastolic function and right ventricular systolic function in HFpEF patients.

Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Promotes In Vitro Calcification.

Project description:Calcification plays an important role in the human body in maintaining homeostasis. In the human body, the presence of a high amount of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is a consistent feature of the local areas that are common sites of ectopic calcification, namely dental calculus, renal calculus, and the areas affected by arteriosclerosis. Hence, ox-LDL may have some effect on calcification. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed a high amount of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) when ox-LDL was included in the solution. In the in vitro experiment, the highest amount of precipitation of calcium phosphate was observed in the solution containing ox-LDL compared to the inclusion of other biomaterials and was 4.2 times higher than that of deionized water for 4.86 mM calcium and 2.71 mM phosphate. The morphology of calcium phosphate precipitates in the solution containing ox-LDL differed from that of the precipitates in solutions containing other biomaterials, as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through the time course observation of the sediments using TEM, it was observed that the sediments changed from spherical or oval shape to a thin film shape. These results indicate that sediments acquired a long-range order array, and the phase transitioned from non-crystalline to crystalline with an increased time and density of ACP. Thus, it is concluded that ox-LDL promoted ACP precipitation and it plays an important role in ectopic calcification.
