XX sex chromosome complement promotes hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis in mice


ABSTRACT: It is well recognized that men and women differ in circulating lipid profiles and consequently coronary artery disease (CAD). While sex hormones like estrogens are thought to protect women from CAD risk by promoting protective lipid profiles, hormone replacement therapy in women paradoxically increases CAD risk. Biological sex is determined by both sex chromosomes and sex hormones. We used mouse models to separate effects of sex chromosomes and hormones on atherosclerosis, circulating lipids and intestinal fat metabolism. We found that an XX sex chromosome complement increases food intake, body weight, fat absorption, serum lipid concentrations and atherosclerosis in gonadal male and female mice, indicating a primary effect of sex chromosome complement. Small intestine expression of enzymes involved in lipid absorption and chylomicron assembly were increased in XX male and female mice with elevated intestinal lipids. These results reveal that an XX sex chromosome complement promotes the absorption and bioavailability of dietary fat to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis.
