Abstract
High levels of HDL-C are correlated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. HDL-C levels are modulated in part by the secreted phospholipase, endothelial lipase (EL), which hydrolyzes the phospholipids of HDL and decreases circulating HDL-C concentrations. A 584C/T polymorphism in LIPG, the gene which encodes EL, was first identified in individuals with increased HDL levels. This polymorphism results in a T111I point mutation the EL protein. The association between this variant, HDL levels, and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans has been extensively studied, but the findings have been inconsistent. In this study, we took a biochemical approach, investigating how the T111I variant affected EL activity, structure, and stability. Moreover, we tested whether the T111I variant altered the inhibition of phospholipase activity by angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) and angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), two known EL inhibitors. We found that neither the stability nor enzymatic activity of EL was altered by the T111I variant. Moreover, we found no difference between wild-type and T111I EL in their ability to be inhibited by ANGPTL proteins. These data suggest that any effect this variant may have on HDL-C levels or cardiovascular disease are not mediated through alterations in these functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit a high risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) which is not fully explained by the classical Framingham risk factors. SLE is characterized by major metabolic alterations which can contribute to the elevated prevalence of CVD. METHODS A comprehensive analysis of the circulating metabolome and lipidome was conducted in a large cohort of 211 women with SLE who underwent a multi-detector computed tomography scan for quantification of coronary artery calcium (CAC), a robust predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD). FINDINGS Beyond traditional risk factors, including age and hypertension, disease activity and duration were independent risk factors for developing CAC in women with SLE. The presence of coronary calcium was associated with major alterations of circulating lipidome dominated by an elevated abundance of ceramides with very long chain fatty acids. Alterations in multiple metabolic pathways, including purine, arginine and proline metabolism, and microbiota-derived metabolites, were also associated with CAC in women with SLE. Logistic regression with bootstrapping of lipidomic and metabolomic variables were used to develop prognostic scores. Strikingly, combining metabolic and lipidomic variables with clinical and biological parameters markedly improved the prediction (area under the curve: 0.887, p < 0.001) of the presence of coronary calcium in women with SLE. INTERPRETATION The present study uncovers the contribution of disturbed metabolism to the presence of coronary artery calcium and the associated risk of CHD in SLE. Identification of novel lipid and metabolite biomarkers may help stratifying patients for reducing CVD morbidity and mortality in SLE. FUNDING INSERM and Sorbonne Université.

Abstract
While low concentrations of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) are widely accepted as an independent cardiovascular risk factor, HDL-C-rising therapies largely failed, suggesting the importance of both HDL functions and individual subspecies. Indeed HDL particles are highly heterogeneous, with small, dense pre-beta-HDLs being considered highly biologically active but remaining poorly studied, largely reflecting difficulties for their purification. We developed an original experimental approach allowing the isolation of sufficient amounts of human pre-beta-HDLs and revealing the specificity of their proteomic and lipidomic profiles and biological activities. Pre-beta-HDLs were enriched in highly poly-unsaturated species of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine, and in an unexpectedly high number of proteins implicated in the inflammatory response, including serum paraoxonase/arylesterase-1, vitronectin and clusterin, as well as in complement regulation and immunity, including haptoglobin-related protein, complement proteins and those of the immunoglobulin class. Interestingly, amongst proteins associated with lipid metabolism, phospholipid transfer protein, cholesteryl ester transfer protein and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase were strongly enriched in, or restricted to, pre-beta-HDL. Furthermore, pre-beta-HDL potently mediated cellular cholesterol efflux and displayed strong anti-inflammatory activities. A correlational network analysis between lipidome, proteome and biological activities highlighted 15 individual lipid and protein components of pre-beta-HDL relevant to cardiovascular disease, which may constitute novel diagnostic targets in a pathological context of altered lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria have many protective effects against inflammatory disorders, though the mechanisms underlying their actions are poorly understood. The Lab4b consortium of probiotics contains four strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria that are reflective of the gut of newborn babies and infants. The effect of Lab4b on atherosclerosis, an inflammatory disorder of the vasculature, has not yet been determined and was investigated on key processes associated with this disease in human monocytes/macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro. The Lab4b conditioned medium (CM) attenuated chemokine-driven monocytic migration, monocyte/macrophage proliferation, uptake of modified LDL and macropinocytosis in macrophages together with the proliferation and platelet-derived growth factor-induced migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. The Lab4b CM also induced phagocytosis in macrophages and cholesterol efflux from macrophage-derived foam cells. The effect of Lab4b CM on macrophage foam cell formation was associated with a decrease in the expression of several key genes implicated in the uptake of modified LDL and induced expression of those involved in cholesterol efflux. These studies reveal, for the first time, several anti-atherogenic actions of Lab4b and strongly implicate further studies in mouse models of the disease in vivo and in clinical trials.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a 48-member superfamily of membrane proteins that actively transport a variety of biological substrates across lipid membranes. Their functional diversity defines an expansive involvement in myriad aspects of human biology. At least 21 ABC transporters underlie rare monogenic disorders, with even more implicated in the predisposition to and symptomology of common and complex diseases. Such broad (patho)physiological relevance places this class of proteins at the intersection of disease causation and therapeutic potential, underlining them as promising targets for drug discovery, as exemplified by the transformative CFTR (ABCC7) modulator therapies for cystic fibrosis. This review will explore the growing relevance of ABC transporters to human disease and their potential as small-molecule drug targets.

Abstract
Regulation of cellular catabolic metabolism in immune cells has recently become a major concept for resolution of inflammation. Nuclear receptors (NRs), including peroxisome proliferator activator receptors (PPARs), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) receptor (VDR), liver X receptors (LXRs), glucocorticoid receptors (GRs), estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) and Nur77, have been identified as major modulators of inflammation, affecting innate immune cells, such as macrophages. Evidence emerges on how NRs regulate cellular metabolism in macrophages during inflammatory processes and contribute to the resolution of inflammation. This could have new implications for our understanding of how NRs shape immune responses and inform anti-inflammatory drug design. This review will highlight the recent developments about NRs and their role in cellular metabolism in macrophages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether, in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, lipidomic abnormalities in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are associated with impaired cholesterol efflux capacity and anti-inflammatory effect, 2 pro-atherogenic abnormalities. DESIGN AND METHODS This is a secondary analysis of the Lira-NAFLD study, including 20 T2D patients at T0 and 25 control subjects. Using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, we quantified 110 species of the main HDL phospholipids and sphingolipids. Cholesterol efflux capacity was measured on THP-1 macrophages. The anti-inflammatory effect of HDL was measured as their ability to inhibit the tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). RESULTS The cholesterol-to-triglyceride ratio was decreased in HDL from T2D patients compared with controls (-46%, P = 0.00008). As expressed relative to apolipoprotein AI, the amounts of phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, and sphingosine-1-phosphate were similar in HDL from T2D patients and controls. Phosphatidylethanolamine-based plasmalogens and ceramides (Cer) were, respectively, 27% (P = 0.038) and 24% (P = 0.053) lower in HDL from T2D patients than in HDL from controls, whereas phosphatidylethanolamines were 41% higher (P = 0.026). Cholesterol efflux capacity of apoB-depleted plasma was similar in T2D patients and controls (36.2 ± 4.3 vs 35.5 ± 2.8%, P = 0.59). The ability of HDL to inhibit the TNFα-induced expression of both VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 at the surface of HUVECs was similar in T2D patients and controls (-70.6 ± 16.5 vs -63.5 ± 18.7%, P = 0.14; and -62.1 ± 13.2 vs -54.7 ± 17.7%, P = 0.16, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite lipidomic abnormalities, the cholesterol efflux and anti-inflammatory capacities of HDL are preserved in T2D patients.

Abstract
The cholesterol efflux protein ATP binding cassette protein A1 (ABCA) and apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1) are key constituents in the process of reverse-cholesterol transport (RCT), whereby excess cholesterol in the periphery is transported to the liver where it can be converted primarily to bile acids for either use in digestion or excreted. Due to their essential roles in RCT, numerous studies have been conducted in cells, mice, and humans to more thoroughly understand the pathways that regulate their expression and activity with the goal of developing therapeutics that enhance RCT to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many of the drugs and natural compounds examined target several transcription factors critical for ABCA1 expression in both macrophages and the liver. Likewise, several miRNAs target not only ABCA1 but also the same transcription factors that are critical for its high expression. However, after years of research and many preclinical and clinical trials, only a few leads have proven beneficial in this regard. In this review we discuss the various transcription factors that serve as drug targets for ABCA1 and provide an update on some important leads.

Abstract
Background Exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increased high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels are thought to contribute to these benefits, but much of the research in this area has been limited by lack of well‐controlled subject selection and exercise interventions. We sought to study the effect of moderate and high‐intensity exercise on HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, and other cardiometabolic parameters in a homogeneous population where exercise, daily routine, sleep patterns, and living conditions were carefully controlled. Methods and Results Male Army recruits (n=115, age 22±0.3 years) completed a 12‐week moderate‐intensity exercise program. A subset of 51 subsequently completed a 15‐week high‐intensity exercise program. Fitness increased and body fat decreased after moderate‐ and high‐intensity exercise (P<0.001). Moderate‐intensity exercise increased HDL‐C and apolipoprotein A‐I levels (6.6%, 11.6% respectively), and decreased low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels (7.2%, 4.9% respectively) (all P<0.01). HDL‐C and apolipoprotein A‐I levels further increased by 8.2% (P<0.001) and 6.3% (P<0.05) after high‐intensity exercise. Moderate‐intensity exercise increased ABCA‐1 (ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1) mediated cholesterol efflux by 13.5% (P<0.001), which was sustained after high‐intensity exercise. In a selected subset the ability of HDLs to inhibit ICAM‐1 (intercellular adhesion molecule‐1) expression decreased after the high (P<0.001) but not the moderate‐intensity exercise program. Conclusions When controlling for exercise patterns, diet, and sleep, moderate‐intensity exercise improved HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, fitness, and body composition. A sequential moderate followed by high‐intensity exercise program showed sustained or incremental benefits in these parameters. Improved HDL function may be part of the mechanism by which exercise reduces cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) promotes atheroprotection through its role in HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport in the liver. However, evidence indicates that SR-B1 may impact atherosclerosis through nonhepatic mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have brought to light various mechanisms by which SR-B1 affects lesional macrophage function and protects against atherosclerosis. Efferocytosis is efficient in early atherosclerotic lesions. At this stage, and beyond its role in cholesterol efflux, SR-B1 promotes free cholesterol-induced apoptosis of macrophages through its control of apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM). At more advanced stages, macrophage SR-B1 binds and mediates the removal of apoptotic cells. SR-B1 also participates in the induction of autophagy which limits necrotic core formation and increases plaque stability. SUMMARY These studies shed new light on the atheroprotective role of SR-B1 by emphasizing its essential contribution in macrophages during atherogenesis as a function of lesion stages. These new findings suggest that macrophage SR-B1 is a therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a minor phospholipid constituent of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity. It remains indeterminate whether PS incorporation can enhance anti-inflammatory effects of reconstituted HDL (rHDL). Human macrophages were treated with rHDL containing phosphatidylcholine alone (PC-rHDL) or PC and PS (PC/PS-rHDL). Interleukin (IL)-6 secretion and expression was more strongly inhibited by PC/PS-rHDL than PC-rHDL in both tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. siRNA experiments revealed that the enhanced anti-inflammatory effects of PC/PS-rHDL required scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). Furthermore, PC/PS-rHDL induced a greater increase in Akt1/2/3 phosphorylation than PC-rHDL. In addition, PC/PS but not PC-rHDL decreased the abundance of plasma membrane lipid rafts and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) phosphorylation. Finally, when these rHDL formulations were administered to dyslipidemic low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor knockout mice fed a high-cholesterol diet, circulating IL-6 levels were significantly reduced only in PC/PS-rHDL-treated mice. In parallel, enhanced Akt1/2/3 phosphorylation by PC/PS-rHDL was observed in the mouse aortic tissue using immunohistochemistry. We concluded that the incorporation of PS into rHDLs enhanced their anti-inflammatory activity by modulating Akt1/2/3- and p38 MAPK-mediated signaling through SR-BI in stimulated macrophages. These data identify PS as a potent anti-inflammatory component capable of enhancing therapeutic potential of rHDL-based therapy.

Abstract
Background and aims Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with life-long increased risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the main protective functions of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is its role in reverse cholesterol transport. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) is decreased during pregnancy in women with PE. Whether this persists postpartum is unknown. Methods Basal and transporter-specific CEC were determined 6 months postpartum in women who had a normotensive (n = 44) or a PE (n = 42) pregnancy. CEC was also measured in 23 normotensive and 20 PE women for whom samples were collected 24 months postpartum. Basal, ATP-binding cassette transporter-A1 (ABCA1)- and -G1 (ABCG1)-specific CEC were primarily determined using Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing human ABCA1 or ABCG1, and were also assessed using a J774 mouse macrophage cell line. Results ABCA1-specific CEC was significantly lower in women who had PE 6 months postpartum (0.57 ± 0.1 vs 0.53 ± 0.08; p < 0.05), whilst basal and ABCG1-specific efflux were not significantly different. cAMP-specific CEC in J774 cells was also lower 6 months after PE (0.85 ± 0.21 vs 0.75 ± 0.25, p < 0.05). Although apoA-I, apoE, plasminogen and PON-1 levels were not significantly different in women who had PE compared with controls, ABCA1 efflux did correlate with apoA-l, HDL-C and apoE levels after a normal, and with apoA-l and HDL-C levels after a PE pregnancy. ABCA1-specific efflux decreased in all women between 6 and 24 months postpartum, by 11 ± 1.6% in women who had a normotensive pregnancy and 9 ± 1.3% in women who had PE. After adjustment for apoA-I levels, there was no significant difference in ABCA1-specific efflux between the groups at 6 months postpartum and in normotensive women over time, but remained significantly different between 6 and 24 months in women who had PE. Conclusions ABCA1-mediated CEC is impaired 6 months postpartum after a PE pregnancy and decreases thereafter in both normotensive and PE pregnancies. ABCA1-mediated efflux is dynamic after pregnancy but is unlikely to explain the long-term increased CVD risk in women with PE.

Daeshiho-tang Attenuates Atherosclerosis by Regulating Cholesterol Metabolism and Inducing M2 Macrophage Polarization. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12020197.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia, the commonest cause of cardiovascular disease, leads to lipid deposits on the arterial wall, thereby aggravating atherosclerosis. DSHT (Daeshiho-tang) has long been used as an anti-dyslipidemia agent in oriental medicine. However, the anti-atherosclerotic effects of DSHT have not been fully investigated. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate whether DSHT could exert beneficial anti-atherosclerotic effects. We fed apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice on a high-fat diet and treated them with atorvastatin (AT) or DSHT, or the combination of DSHT and AT for 12 weeks. To determine the role of DSHT, atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta, aortic root, and aortic arch; lipids and apolipoprotein levels in serum; and macrophage polarization markers in aorta tissues were examined. We show here that the DSHT decreased the atherosclerotic plaque ratio in the aortic arch, aorta, and aortic root. DSHT also regulated lipid levels by decreasing the ApoB level and increasing the ApoA1 level. Moreover, DSHT effectively regulated cholesterol metabolism by increasing the levels of PPARγ, ABCA1 and ABCG1, and the LDL receptor genes. We further found that DSHT promoted polarization to the M2 phenotype by increasing the levels of M2 macrophage (ARG1, CD163, and PPARγ) markers. Our data suggested that DSHT enhances the anti-atherosclerotic effect by regulating cholesterol metabolism through the activation of the PPARγ signaling pathway and by promoting anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Attenuated skeletal muscle glucose uptake (GU) has been observed with advancing age. It is important to elucidate the mechanisms linked to interventions that oppose this detrimental outcome. Earlier research using young rodents and (or) cultured myocytes reported that treatment with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR; an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator) can increase γ3-AMPK activity and reduce membrane cholesterol content, each of which has been proposed to elevate GU. However, the effect of AICAR treatment on γ3-AMPK activity and membrane cholesterol in skeletal muscle of aged animals has not been reported. Our purpose was to evaluate the effects of AICAR treatment on these potential mechanisms for enhanced glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle of aged animals. Epitrochlearis muscles from 26–27-month-old male rats were isolated and incubated ± AICAR, followed by 3 h incubation without AICAR, and then incubation with 3- O-methyl-[3 H] glucose (to assess GU ± insulin). Muscles were also analyzed for γ3-AMPK activity and membrane cholesterol content. Prior AICAR treatment led to increased γ3-AMPK activity, reduced membrane cholesterol content, and enhanced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle from aged rats. These observations revealed that two potential mechanisms for greater GU previously observed in younger animals and (or) cell models are also potentially relevant for enhanced GU by muscles from older animals.

Abstract
Oxysterols, the oxidized forms of cholesterol or of its precursors, are formed in the first steps of cholesterol metabolism. Oxysterols have interested chemists, biologists, and physicians for many decades, but their exact biological relevance in vivo, other than as intermediates in bile acid biosynthesis, has long been debated. However, in the first quarter of this century, a role for side-chain oxysterols and their C-7 oxidized metabolites has been convincingly established in the immune system. 25-Hydroxycholesterol has been shown to be synthesized by macrophages in response to the activation of Toll-like receptors and to offer protection against microbial pathogens, whereas 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol has been shown to act as a chemoattractant to lymphocytes expressing the G protein-coupled receptor Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 and to be important in coordinating the action of B cells, T cells, and dendritic cells in secondary lymphoid tissue. There is a growing body of evidence that not only these two oxysterols but also many of their isomers are of importance to the proper function of the immune system. Here, we review recent findings related to the roles of oxysterols in immunology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic immuno-inflammatory disease that is characterized by the accumulation of immune cells and lipids in the vascular wall. In this review, we focus on the latest advance regarding the regulation and signaling pathways of IL-22 and highlight its impacts on atherosclerosis. MAIN BODY IL-22, an important member of the IL-10 family of cytokines, is released by cells of the adaptive and innate immune system and plays a key role in the development of inflammatory diseases. The binding of IL-22 to its receptor complex can trigger a diverse array of downstream signaling pathways, in particular the JAK/STAT, to induce the expression of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines. Recently, numerous studies suggest that IL-22 is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by regulation of VSMC proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, inflammatory response, hypertension, and cholesterol metabolism. CONCLUSION IL-22 promotes the development of atherosclerosis by multiple mechanisms, which may be a promising therapeutic target in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
A high intake in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (C20:5 n-3), is cardioprotective. Dietary PUFAs incorporate into membrane phospholipids, which may modify the function of membrane proteins. We investigated the consequences of the membrane incorporation of several PUFAs on the key antiatherogenic ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux pathway. Human THP-1 macrophages were incubated with EPA, arachidonic acid (AA) (C20:4 n-6) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (C22:6 n-3) for a long time to mimic a chronic exposure. EPA 70 μM, but not AA 50 μM or DHA 15 μM, increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein (apo) AI by 28% without altering aqueous diffusion. No variation in ABCA1 expression or localization was observed after EPA treatment. EPA incorporation did not affect the phenotype of THP-1 macrophages. The membrane phospholipids composition of EPA cells displayed higher levels of both EPA and its elongation product docosapentaenoic acid, which was associated with drastic lower levels of AA. Treatment by EPA increased the ATPase activity of the transporter, likely through a PKA-dependent mechanism. Eicosanoids were not involved in the stimulated ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from EPA-enriched macrophages. In addition, EPA supplementation increased the apo AI binding capacity from macrophages by 38%. Moreover, the increased apo AI binding in EPA-enriched macrophages can be competed. In conclusion, EPA membrane incorporation increased ABCA1 functionality in cholesterol-normal human THP-1 macrophages, likely through a combination of different mechanisms. This beneficial in vitro effect may partly contribute to the cardioprotective effect of a diet enriched with EPA highlighted by several recent clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholesterol efflux capacity is a tissue culture assay for HDL function that is not amenable for high-throughput monitoring of risk assessment. METHODS We devised a cell-free HDL function assay to measure the exchange rate of exogenous apoA1 into serum HDL using NBD/Alexa647 double-labeled apoA1, whose NBD/Alexa647 emission ratio increased upon exchange into HDL. ApoA1 exchange rate (AER) was assayed by incubating labeled apoA1 with human serum, and the rate of the increase of the NBD/Alexa647 ratio over time was calculated as AER. RESULTS Fast protein liquid chromatography analysis of serum confirmed that the labeled apoA1 selectively exchanged into the HDL lipoprotein fraction. Characterization studies demonstrated that the AER assay had excellent intra- and inter-day reproducibility, was stable over 3 freeze-thaw cycles, and yielded similar results with serum or plasma. We quantified AER in serum from randomly selected stable subjects undergoing elective diagnostic coronary angiography (n = 997). AER was correlated with HDL-cholesterol (r = 0.58, P < 0.0001) and apoA1 levels (r = 0.56, P < 0.0001). Kaplan-Meier survival plot showed subjects in the lowest quartile of AER experienced a significantly higher rate of incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE = myocardial infarction, stroke, or death) (P < 0.0069 log rank). Moreover, compared to subjects in the lowest AER quartile, the remaining subjects showed significantly lower incident (3 year) risk for MACE, even after adjustment for traditional risk factors and apoA1 (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.40-0.85; P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS In a prospective cohort of stable subjects undergoing elective diagnostic cardiac evaluations, low AER was associated with increased incident risk of MACE.

Abstract
One exercise session can elevate insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) by skeletal muscle, but it is uncertain if this effect is accompanied by altered membrane cholesterol content, which is reportedly inversely related to insulin-stimulated GU. Muscles from sedentary (SED) or exercised 3 h post-exercise (3hPEX) rats were evaluated for GU, membrane cholesterol, and phosphorylation of cholesterol regulatory proteins (pHMCGRSer872 and pABCA1Ser2054). Insulin-stimulated GU for 3hPEX exceeded SED. Membrane cholesterol, pHMCGRSer872 and pABCA1Ser2054 did not differ between groups. Novelty: Alterations in membrane cholesterol and phosphorylation of proteins that regulate muscle cholesterol are not essential for elevated insulin-stimulated GU in skeletal muscle after acute exercise.

Abstract
Over the years, the relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and atherosclerosis, initially highlighted by the Framingham study, has been revealed to be extremely complex, due to the multiple HDL functions involved in atheroprotection. Among them, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the ability of HDL to promote cell cholesterol efflux from cells, has emerged as a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk compared to merely plasma HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. HDL CEC is impaired in many genetic and pathological conditions associated to high CV risk such as dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, etc. The present review describes the current knowledge on HDL CEC modifications in these conditions, focusing on the most recent human studies and on genetic and pathophysiologic aspects. In addition, the most relevant strategies possibly modulating HDL CEC, including lifestyle modifications, as well as nutraceutical and pharmacological interventions, will be discussed. The objective of this review is to help understanding whether, from the current evidence, HDL CEC may be considered as a valid biomarker of CV risk and a potential pharmacological target for novel therapeutic approaches.

Effects of lipoproteins on endothelial cells and macrophages function and its possible implications on fetal adverse outcomes associated to maternal hypercholesterolemia during pregnancy. Placenta 2021; 106:79-87. [PMID: 33706211 DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2021.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia is one of the main risk factors associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. During pregnancy, maternal hypercholesterolemia develops, and it can occur in a physiological (MPH) or supraphysiological (MSPH) manner, where MSPH is associated with endothelial dysfunction and early atherosclerotic lesions in the fetoplacental vasculature. In the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, endothelial activation and endothelial dysfunction, characterized by an imbalance in the bioavailability of nitric oxide, contribute to the early stages of this disease. Macrophages conversion to foam cells, cholesterol efflux from these cells and its differentiation into a pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotype are also important processes that contribute to atherosclerosis. In adults it has been reported that native and modified HDL and LDL play an important role in endothelial and macrophage function. In this review it is proposed that fetal lipoproteins could be also relevant factors involved in the detrimental vascular effects described in MSPH. Changes in the composition and function of neonatal lipoproteins compared to adults has been reported and, although in MSPH pregnancies the fetal lipid profile does not differ from MPH, differences in the lipidomic profiles of umbilical venous blood have been reported, which could have implications in the vascular function. In this review we summarize the available information regarding the effects of lipoproteins on endothelial and macrophage function, emphasizing its possible implications on fetal adverse outcomes associated to maternal hypercholesterolemia during pregnancy.

Abstract
AIMS Coronary artery disease (CAD) is described as a range of clinical conditions including myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina. Lipid and apolipoprotein profiles together with the study of cholesterol deposit and efflux serve to identify novel pre and post infarct scenarios for the treatment of these patients. In (non-ST elevation myocardial infarction) NSTEMI patients, we analysed both systemic and intracoronary serum ability to accept cholesterol as well as cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of monocytes in terms of expression of genes involved in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). METHODS AND RESULTS While HDL-C quantity was similar between systemic and coronary arterial blood, in 21 NSTEMI patients we observed a significant reduction of the preβ-HDL fraction and the levels of Apolipoproteins AI, AII, B and E in coronary versus systemic serum. These data are complemented with the observed reduction of CEC. On the contrary, compared to systemic arterial monocytes, in coronary microenvironment of NSTEMI patients after myocardial infarction, the monocytes exhibited a higher mRNA expression of nuclear receptor LXRα and its targets ABCA1 and APOE, which drive cholesterol efflux capacity. CONCLUSION In this cross-sectional study we observe that in the immediate post infarction period, there is a spontaneous bona fide ligand-induced activation of the LXR driven cholesterol efflux capacity of intracoronary monocytes to overcome the reduced serum ability to accept cholesterol and to inhibit the post-infarction pro-inflammatory local microenvironment.

Abstract
The founding member of the lipoprotein receptor family, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) plays a major role in the atherogenesis through the receptor-mediated endocytosis of LDL particles and regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. Since the discovery of the LDLR, many other structurally and functionally related receptors have been identified, which include low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)1, LRP5, LRP6, very low-density lipoprotein receptor, and apolipoprotein E receptor 2. The scavenger receptor family members, on the other hand, constitute a family of pattern recognition proteins that are structurally diverse and recognize a wide array of ligands, including oxidized LDL. Among these are cluster of differentiation 36, scavenger receptor class B type I and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1. In addition to the initially assigned role as a mediator of the uptake of macromolecules into the cell, a large number of studies in cultured cells and in in vivo animal models have revealed that these lipoprotein receptors participate in signal transduction to modulate cellular functions. This review highlights the signalling pathways by which these receptors influence the process of atherosclerosis development, focusing on their roles in the vascular cells, such as macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and platelets. Human genetics of the receptors is also discussed to further provide the relevance to cardiovascular disease risks in humans. Further knowledge of the vascular biology of the lipoprotein receptors and their ligands will potentially enhance our ability to harness the mechanism to develop novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies against cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Objective Probucol is a cholesterol-lowering agent whose ability to prevent atherosclerosis is currently under study. Herein, we investigate the putative mechanism of probucol by observation of changes in cellular cholesterol efflux and lipid droplet morphology in macrophages. Results The inhibitory activity of probucol was assessed in non-foam or foam cell macrophages expressing ABCA1 generated by treatment with fetal calf serum (FCS) alone or in combination with acetylated LDL, respectively. Probucol inhibited cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) by 31.5±0.1% in THP-1 non-foam cells and by 18.5±0.2% in foam cells. In probucol-treated non-foam THP-1 cells, nascent high density lipoprotein (nHDL) particles with a diameter < 7 nm were generated, while in probucol-treated THP-1 foam cells nHDL particles of > 7 nm in diameter containing cholesterol were produced. Foam cells also displayed a significant accumulation of free cholesterol at the plasma membrane, as measured by percent cholestenone formed. Intracellularly, there was a significant decrease in lipid droplet number and an increase in size in probucol-treated THP-1 foam cells when compared to non-treated cells. Conclusions We report for the first time that probucol is unable to completely inhibit cholesterol efflux in foam cells to the same extent as in non-foam cells. Indeed, functional nHDL is released from foam cells in the presence of probucol. This difference in inhibitory effect could potentially be explained by changes in the plasma membrane pool as well as intracellular cholesterol storage independently of ABCA1.

Abstract
Objective:
Patients with schizophrenia have increased long-term mortality attributable to cardiovascular disease and commonly demonstrate features of mixed dyslipidemia with low HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). The removal of cholesterol from cells by HDL via specific ATP-binding cholesterol transporters is a major functional property of HDL, and its measurement as cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) can predict cardiovascular risk. Whether HDL function is impaired in patients with schizophrenia is unknown.
Approach and Results:
We measured basal and ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1)- and ABCG1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter G1)-dependent CEC, comparing patients with schizophrenia with age- and sex-matched healthy controls, and related our findings to nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of lipoprotein subclasses. Total plasma cholesterol and LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) were comparable between healthy controls (n=51) and patients (n=120), but patients with schizophrenia had increased total plasma triglyceride, low HDL-C and apo (apolipoprotein) A-I concentrations. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated a marked (15-fold) increase in large triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particle concentration, increased small dense LDL particles, and fewer large HDL particles. Despite lower HDL-C concentration, basal CEC was 13.7±1.6% higher, ABCA1-specific efflux was 35.9±1.6% higher, and ABCG1 efflux not different, in patients versus controls. In patients with schizophrenia, ABCA1-specific efflux correlated with the abundance of small 7.8 nm HDL particles but not with serum plasminogen or triglyceride levels.
Conclusions:
Patients with schizophrenia have increased concentrations of atherogenic apoB-containing lipoproteins, decreased concentrations of large HDL particles, but enhanced ABCA1-mediated CEC. In this population, preventative strategies should focus on reducing atherogenic lipoproteins rather than increasing CEC.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide, and hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor. Preventive treatments mainly focus on the effective reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but their therapeutic value is limited by the inability to completely normalize atherosclerotic risk, probably due to the disease complexity and multifactorial pathogenesis. Consequently, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol gained much interest, as it appeared to be cardioprotective due to its major role in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). RCT facilitates removal of cholesterol from peripheral tissues, including atherosclerotic plaques, and its subsequent hepatic clearance into bile. Therefore, RCT is expected to limit plaque formation and progression. Cellular cholesterol efflux is initiated and propagated by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1. Their expression and function are expected to be rate-limiting for cholesterol efflux, which makes them interesting targets to stimulate RCT and lower atherosclerotic risk. This systematic review discusses the molecular mechanisms relevant for RCT and ABCA1 and ABCG1 function, followed by a critical overview of potential pharmacological strategies with small molecules to enhance cellular cholesterol efflux and RCT. These strategies include regulation of ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression, degradation, and mRNA stability. Various small molecules have been demonstrated to increase RCT, but the underlying mechanisms are often not completely understood and are rather unspecific, potentially causing adverse effects. Better understanding of these mechanisms could enable the development of safer drugs to increase RCT and provide more insight into its relation with atherosclerotic risk. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor of atherosclerosis, which is a leading pathological mechanism underlying cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol is removed from atherosclerotic plaques and subsequently cleared by the liver into bile. This transport is mediated by high-density lipoprotein particles, to which cholesterol is transferred via ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1. Small-molecule pharmacological strategies stimulating these transporters may provide promising options for cardiovascular disease treatment.

Abstract
Luteolin, a naturally derived flavonoid, exerts beneficial effects such as antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of luteolin in hypercholesterolemia remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that luteolin upregulated the expression of liver X receptor (LXR) α, ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1), and scavenger receptor class B member 1 (SRB1), which play a major role in cholesterol efflux, in HepG2 hepatocytes. Luteolin-stimulated expression of ABCG1 and SRB1 was reversed by inhibitory compound of LXRα. Luteolin administration also upregulated the expression of ABCG1, and SRB1 as well as cholesterol 7 α-hydroxylase (Cyp7α1) in the liver of diet-induced obese mice. Luteolin decreased the level of blood cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in obese mice. In addition, luteolin ameliorated glucose intolerance and reduced expression of gluconeogenesis-associated enzymes in an LXRα-dependent manner. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Luteolin is known to possess various pharmacological activities. This research revealed that luteolin ameliorates hypercholesterolemia and glucose intolerance in diet-induced obesity. The results indicate that the potential properties of luteolin in cholesterol metabolism could be explained, at least in part, as being due to upregulated expression of ABCG1, and SRB1 through activation of liver X receptor, LXRα signaling pathway in HepG2 cells.

Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2020; 159:54-93. [PMID: 32423566 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2020.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Lipids are hydrophobic and amphiphilic molecules involved in diverse functions such as membrane structure, energy metabolism, immunity, and signaling. However, altered intra-cellular lipid levels or composition can lead to metabolic and inflammatory dysfunction, as well as lipotoxicity. Thus, intra-cellular lipid homeostasis is tightly regulated by multiple mechanisms. Since most peripheral cells do not catabolize cholesterol, efflux (extra-cellular transport) of cholesterol is vital for lipid homeostasis. Defective efflux contributes to atherosclerotic plaque development, impaired β-cell insulin secretion, and neuropathology. Of these, defective lipid efflux in macrophages in the arterial walls leading to foam cell and atherosclerotic plaque formation has been the most well studied, likely because a leading global cause of death is cardiovascular disease. Circulating high density lipoprotein particles play critical roles as acceptors of effluxed cellular lipids, suggesting their importance in disease etiology. We review here mechanisms and pathways that modulate lipid efflux, the role of lipid efflux in disease etiology, and therapeutic options aimed at modulating this critical process.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Epidemiologic studies consistently demonstrated that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) are more likely to develop major adverse cardiovascular events as compared with those with normal or high HDL. However, several large randomized trials failed to demonstrate that a substantial, pharmacological-based, increase of HDL-C concentrations results in a clinically significant reduction of ischemic outcomes. This has been largely attributed to the fact that, although these drugs are able to raise the HDL-C concentration, they have no effect on HDL-C atheroprotective function. Subsequently, the 'HDL hypothesis' evolved, and the focus shifted from raising the concentration of HDL-C to raising the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) function by increasing patients cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) instead. Indeed, new data suggest that HDL-C metabolism and the ability of the HDL molecule to transport cholesterol from the atherosclerotic plaque to the liver, measured by the CEC, is more important than steady-state HDL-C levels. Modulation of the CEC has become, therefore, a promising therapeutic target in CAD patients. This article reviews the current data on the 'cholesterol efflux hypothesis' and discuss its ability to be modulated has a potential therapeutic target. RECENT FINDINGS Recent data have demonstrated that impaired serum CEC was associated with increased mortality after a myocardial infarction (MI). Thus, therapeutic intervention aiming to improve CEC and RCT may reduce the risk of recurrent events. Early phase clinical studies targeting CEC showed promising results and a megatrial is ongoing testing the hypothesis that an improved RCT trough a modulation of the CEC can modify patient's prognosis after an acute MI. SUMMARY The 'cholesterol efflux hypothesis' is now supported by several clinical studies and is being tested with a therapeutic candidate in a megatrial enrolling high-risk patient with MI.

Aqueous extracts of Lindera aggregate (Sims) Kosterm leaves regulate serum/hepatic lipid and liver function in normal and hypercholesterolemic mice. J Pharmacol Sci 2020; 143:45-51.

Abstract
The leaves of Lindera aggregate (Sims) Kosterm. are traditionally used as healthy tea for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia in Chinese. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic effects and potential mechanisms of the aqueous extracts from L. aggregate leaves (AqLA-L) on normal and hypercholesterolemic (HCL) mice. HCL mice were induced by high fat diet (HFD) and orally administrated with or without AqLA-L for ten days. The results showed that AqLA-L (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 g/kg) significantly reduced serum TG, ALT, but elevated fecal TG in normal mice. AqLA-L (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 g/kg) also remarkably lowered serum TC, TG, LDL, N-HDL, ALT, GLU, APOB, hepatic GLU and increased serum HDL, APOA-I, fecal TG levels in HCL mice. These results revealed that AqLA-L treatment regulated the disorders of the serum lipid and liver function, reduced hepatic GLU contents both in normal and HCL mice. The potential mechanisms for cholesterol-lowering effects of AqLA-L might be up-regulation of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), as well as down-regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR). The data indicated that AqLA-L has potential therapeutic value in treatment of hyperlipidemia with great application security.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have failed to establish a clear link between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, leading to the hypothesis that the atheroprotective role of HDL lies in its biological activity rather than in its cholesterol content. However, to date, the association between HDL functional characteristics and acute coronary syndrome has not been investigated comprehensively. METHODS We conducted a case-control study nested within the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) cohort, originally a randomized trial in which participants followed a Mediterranean or low-fat diet. Incident acute coronary syndrome cases (N=167) were individually matched (1:2) to control patients by sex, age, intervention group, body mass index, and follow-up time. We investigated 2 individual manifestations (myocardial infarction, unstable angina) as secondary outcomes. We measured the following functional characteristics: HDL cholesterol concentration (in plasma); cholesterol efflux capacity; antioxidant ability, measured by the HDL oxidative-inflammatory index; phospholipase A2 activity; and sphingosine-1-phosphate, apolipoproteins A-I and A-IV, serum amyloid A, and complement 3 protein (in apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma). We used conditional logistic regression models adjusted for HDL cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk factors to estimate odds ratios (ORs) between 1-SD increments in HDL functional characteristics and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Low values of cholesterol efflux capacity (OR1SD, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.83) and low levels of sphingosine-1-phosphate (OR1SD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.52-0.92) and apolipoprotein A-I (OR1SD, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.42-0.79) were associated with higher odds of acute coronary syndrome. Higher HDL oxidative inflammatory index values were marginally linked to acute coronary syndrome risk (OR1SD, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.99-1.63). Low values of cholesterol efflux capacity (OR1SD, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.18-0.61), sphingosine-1-phosphate (OR1SD: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.40-0.89), and apolipoprotein A-I (OR1SD, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37-0.93) were particularly linked to myocardial infarction, whereas high HDL oxidative-inflammatory index values (OR1SD, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.01-2.33) and low apolipoprotein A-I levels (OR1SD, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.31-0.88) were associated with unstable angina. CONCLUSIONS Low cholesterol efflux capacity values, pro-oxidant/proinflammatory HDL particles, and low HDL levels of sphingosine-1-phosphate and apolipoprotein A-I were associated with increased odds of acute coronary syndrome and its manifestations in individuals at high cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Several hereditary point mutations in human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) have been associated with low HDL-cholesterol levels and/or increased coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. However, one apoA-I mutation, the V19L, recently identified in Icelanders, has been associated with increased HDL-cholesterol levels and decreased CAD risk. In an effort to gain mechanistic insight linking the presence of this mutation in apoA-I with the increase of HDL-cholesterol levels we evaluated the effect of V19L mutation on the conformational integrity and functional properties of apoA-I in lipid-free and lipidated form. ApoA-I[V19L] was found to be thermodynamically destabilized in lipid-free form and displays an increased capacity to associate with phospholipids compared to WT apoA-I. When associated to reconstituted HDL (rHDL), apoA-I[V19L] was more thermodynamically stabilized than WT apoA-I. ApoA-I[V19L] displayed normal capacity to promote ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux and to activate the enzyme LCAT, in lipid-free and rHDL-associated forms, respectively. Additionally, rHDL-associated apoA-I[V19L] showed normal capacity to promote ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux, but 45% increased capacity to promote SR-BI-mediated cholesterol efflux, while the SR-BI-mediated HDL-lipid uptake was normal. Overall, our findings show that the apoA-I V19L mutation does not affect the first steps of HDL biogenesis pathway. However, the increased capacity of apoA-I[V19L] to associate with phospholipids, in combination with the enhanced thermodynamic stability of lipoprotein-associated apoA-I[V19L] and increased capacity of apoA-I[V19L]-containing lipoprotein particles to accept additional cholesterol by SR-BI could account for the increased HDL-cholesterol levels observed in human carriers of the mutation.

Contrasting effects of membrane enrichment with polyunsaturated fatty acids on phospholipid composition and cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded J774 mouse or primary human macrophages. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2019; 1865:158536. [PMID: 31672574 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2019.158536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
A high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly n-3 PUFAs, is atheroprotective. PUFAs incorporation into membrane phospholipids alters the functionality of membrane proteins. We studied the consequences of the in vitro supplementation of several PUFAs on the FA profiles and on ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux capacities from cholesterol-loaded macrophages. Arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4 n-6) and, to a lesser extent, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5 n-3), dose-dependently impaired cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded J774 mouse macrophages without alterations in ABCA1 expression, whereas docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3) had no impact. AA cells exhibited higher proportions of arachidonic acid and adrenic acid (C22:4 n-6), its elongation product. EPA cells exhibited slightly higher proportions of EPA associated with much higher proportions of docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5 n-3), its elongation product and with lower proportions of AA. Conversely, both EPA and DHA and, to a lesser extent, AA decreased cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded primary human macrophages (HMDM). The differences observed in FA profiles after PUFA supplementations were different from those observed for the J774 cells. In conclusion, we are the first to report that AA and EPA, but not DHA, have deleterious effects on the cardioprotective ABCA1 cholesterol efflux pathway from J774 foam cells. Moreover, the membrane incorporation of PUFAs does not have the same impact on cholesterol efflux from murine (J774) or human (HMDM) cholesterol-loaded macrophages. This finding emphasizes the key role of the cellular model in cholesterol efflux studies and may partly explain the heterogeneous literature data on the impact of PUFAs on cholesterol efflux.

Abstract
The impact of stressful conditions on immunity seems mixed and at times counterbalanced. Such inconsistencies can often be attributed to the fact that the notion of stress has a very wide meaning and covers a large number of different situations. Research on liver X receptors using both natural and synthetic ligands may help to solve this conflict. When an infectious agent is present in a stressed body, LXR activation is likely to be a key element in the regulation of POMC, IFN-γ, and IL-18; moreover, it is a unique anti-inflammatory mode of action. They concurrently stimulate a non-specific immune reaction as they suppress inflammatory and autoimmune processes.

Int J Mol Med 2019; 44:893-902.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms through which quercetin protects against atherosclerosis (AS) in apoE‑/‑ mice by regulating the expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARγ), liver X receptor α (LXRα) and ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). We established an animal model of high‑fat diet induced AS using apoE‑/‑ mice. H&E, Oil Red O and Masson's trichrome staining were performed on aortic sinus and liver tissue sections to evaluate the histopathology, lipid accumulation and collagen deposition, respectively. Filipin staining was performed to detect free cholesterol (FC) in the aortic sinus. ELISA was performed to measure the serum levels of lipids including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high‑density lipoprotein‑cholesterol (HDL‑C), low‑density lipoprotein‑cholesterol (LDL‑C) and oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (oxLDL), as well as the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α, interleukin (IL)‑6 and IL‑10. Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the protein expression levels of PCSK9, CD36, PPARγ, LXRα and ABCA1 in both the aorta and liver tissue. H&E staining revealed the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus. Oil Red O staining revealed the existence of massive red‑stained lipids in the aortic sinus and Masson's trichrome staining revealed decreased collagen fibers and increased plaque instability. Filipin staining revealed that free cholesterol levels in the aorta sinus were increased. In addition, H&E staining suggested hepatocyte structural disorder in the model group, and Oil Red O staining revealed a cytoplasm filled with lipid droplets, which contained a large amount of red‑stained lipids. Masson's trichrome staining revealed that the liver tissue of the model group had fewer collagen fibers compared with that of the control group. Moreover, the mice in the model group had higher serum TC, LDL‑C, oxLDL, TNF‑α and IL‑6 levels, and lower IL‑10 levels. The protein expression levels of PCSK9 and CD36 were increased, while those of PPARγ, LXRα and ABCA1 were decreased in the aortas and livers of the model group mice. However, treatment with quercetin attenuated all these effects. On the whole, these results demonstrate that quercetin prevents the development of AS in apoE‑/‑ mice by regulating the expression of PCSK9, CD36, PPARγ, LXRα and ABCA1.

Abstract
Objective- Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by the infiltration of multiple tissues with lipid-laden histiocytes. Cardiovascular involvement is frequent in ECD and leads to a severe prognosis. The objective of this study was to determine whether an alteration of lipid metabolism participates in the lipid accumulation in histiocytes and the cardiovascular involvement in ECD. Approach and Results- An analysis of plasma lipid levels indicated that male ECD patients carrying the BRAFV600E (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase) mutation exhibited hypoalphalipoproteinemia, as demonstrated by low plasma HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels. Capacity of sera from male BRAFV600E ECD patients to mediate free cholesterol efflux from human macrophages was reduced compared with control individuals. Cardiovascular involvement was detected in 84% of the ECD patients, and we reported that the presence of the BRAFV600E mutation and hypoalphalipoproteinemia is an independent determinant of aortic infiltration in ECD. Phenotyping of blood CD14+ cells, the precursors of histiocytes, enabled the identification of a specific inflammatory signature associated with aortic infiltration which was partially affected by the HDL phenotype. Finally, the treatment with vemurafenib, an inhibitor of the BRAFV600E mutation, restored the defective sera cholesterol efflux capacity and reduced the aortic infiltration. Conclusions- Our findings indicate that hypoalphalipoproteinemia in male ECD patients carrying the BRAFV600E mutation favors the formation of lipid-laden histiocytes. In addition, we identified the BRAF status and the HDL phenotype as independent determinants of the aortic involvement in ECD with a potential role of HDL in modulating the infiltration of blood CD14+ cells into the aorta.

Abstract
Tumor cells show high avidity for cholesterol in order to support their inherent nature to divide and proliferate. This results in the rewiring of cholesterol homeostatic pathways by influencing not only de novo synthesis but also uptake or efflux pathways of cholesterol. Recent findings have pointed towards the importance of cholesterol efflux in tumor pathogenesis. Cholesterol efflux is the first and foremost step in reverse cholesterol transport and any perturbation in this pathway may lead to the accumulation of intracellular cholesterol, thereby altering the cellular equilibrium. This review addresses the different mechanisms of cholesterol efflux from the cell and highlights their role and regulation in context to tumor development. There are four different routes by which cholesterol can be effluxed from the cell namely, 1) passive diffusion of cholesterol to mature HDL particles, 2) SR-B1 mediated facilitated diffusion, 3) Active efflux to apo A1 via ABCA1 and 4) ABCG1 mediated efflux to mature HDL. These molecular players facilitating cholesterol efflux are engaged in a complex interplay with different signaling pathways. Thus, an understanding of the efflux pathways, their regulation and cross-talk with signaling molecules may provide novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets to combat the onset of carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of mortality in industrialized countries. Correspondingly, studying the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and developing new methods for its diagnostic and treatment remain in the focus of current medicine and health care. This review aims to discuss the mechanistic role of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in atherogenesis. In particular, the generally accepted hypothesis about the key role of oxidized LDL in atherogenesis is questioned, and an alternative concept of multiple modification of LDL is presented. The fundamental question discussed in this review is whether LDL and HDL are effectors or biomarkers, or both. This is important for understanding whether lipoproteins are a therapeutic target or just diagnostic indicators.

Abstract
AIMS Human plasma lipoproteins are known to contain various glycan structures whose composition and functional importance are starting to be recognized. We assessed N-glycosylation of human plasma HDL and LDL and the role of their glycomes in cellular cholesterol metabolism. METHODS N-glycomic profiles of native and neuraminidase-treated HDL and LDL were obtained using HILIC-UHPLC-FLD. Relative abundance of the individual chromatographic peaks was quantitatively expressed as a percentage of total integrated area and N-glycan structures present in each peak were elucidated by MALDI-TOF MS. The capacity of HDL to mediate cellular efflux of cholesterol and the capacity of LDL to induce cellular accumulation of cholesteryl esters were evaluated in THP-1 cells. RESULTS HILIC-UHPLC-FLD analysis of HDL and LDL N-glycans released by PNGase F resulted in 22 and 18 distinct chromatographic peaks, respectively. The majority of N-glycans present in HDL (~70%) and LDL (~60%) were sialylated with one or two sialic acid residues. The most abundant N-glycan structure in both HDL and LDL was a complex type biantennary N-glycan with one sialic acid (A2G2S1). Relative abundances of several N-glycan structures were dramatically altered by the neuraminidase treatment, which selectively removed sialic acid residues. Native HDL displayed significantly greater efficacy in removing cellular cholesterol from THP-1 cells as compared to desialylated HDL (p < 0.05). Cellular accumulation of cholesteryl esters in THP-1 cells was significantly higher after incubations with desialylated LDL particles as compared to native LDL (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS N-glycome of human plasma lipoproteins reveals a high level of diversity, which directly impacts functional properties of the lipoproteins.

Abstract
Mutations in the a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-like 2 ( ADAMTSL2) gene are responsible for the autosomal recessive form of geleophysic dysplasia, which is characterized by short stature, short extremities, and skeletal abnormalities. However, the exact function of ADAMTSL2 is unknown. To elucidate the role of this protein in skeletal development, we generated complementary knockout (KO) mouse models with either total or chondrocyte Adamtsl2 deficiency. We observed that the Adamtsl2 KO mice displayed skeletal abnormalities reminiscent of the human phenotype. Adamtsl2 deletion affected the growth plate formation with abnormal differentiation and proliferation of chondrocytes. In addition, a TGF-β signaling impairment in limbs lacking Adamtsl2 was demonstrated. Further investigations revealed that Adamtsl2 KO chondrocytes failed to establish a microfibrillar network composed by fibrillin1 and latent TGF-β binding protein 1 fibrils. Chondrocyte Adamtsl2 KO mice also exhibited dwarfism. These studies uncover the function of Adamtsl2 in the maintenance of the growth plate ECM by modulating the microfibrillar network.-Delhon, L., Mahaut, C., Goudin, N., Gaudas, E., Piquand, K., Le Goff, W., Cormier-Daire, V., Le Goff, C.

A number of clinical findings suggested HDL-raising as a plausible approach to treat residual risk of CVD. However, lack of CVD risk reduction by elevated HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) through cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition and enhanced risk reduction in apolipoprotein A-I Milano (apoAI-M) individuals with low HDL-C shifted the focus from HDL-C level to HDL function. In the present study, we investigated correlations between HDL-C, HDL function, fecal cholesterol excretion, and ex vivo plasma cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) in animal models using two HDL modulators, LXR and PPAR-α agonists. In C57Bl mice, LXR agonist, T1317, raised HDL-C by 30%, while PPAR-α agonist, fenofibrate, reduced HDL-C by 30%, but fecal cholesterol showed twofold increase in both cases. CEC showed a 30–40% increase. Combination of LXR and PPAR-α agonists showed no changes in HDL-C, but, interestingly, fecal cholesterol increased by 4.5-fold, and CEC by 40%, suggesting existence of additional pathway for fecal cholesterol excretion. Regression analysis showed a lack of correlation between HDL-C and fecal cholesterol and CEC, while fecal cholesterol showed significant correlation with CEC, a measure of HDL function. ABCA1 and G1, the two important players in RCT showed greater induction with LXR agonist than PPAR-α agonist. HDL-C increased by 40 and 80% in LXR and PPAR-α treated apoA-I transgenic mice, respectively, with 80% increase in fecal cholesterol. A fivefold increase in fecal cholesterol with no correlation with either plasma HDL-C or CEC following co-treatment with LXR and PPAR-α agonists suggested existence of an HDL-independent pathway for body cholesterol elimination. In hyperlipidemic diabetic ob/ob mice also combination of LXR and PPAR-α agonists showed marked increases in fecal cholesterol content (10–20-fold), while HDL-C rise was only 40%, further suggesting HDL-independent elimination of body cholesterol in mice treated with combination of LXR and PPAR-α agonists. Atherosclerosis attenuation by LXR and PPAR-α agonists in LDLr-deficient mice was associated with increased fecal cholesterol, but not HDL-C. However, fecal cholesterol counts showed inverse correlation with aortic cholesteryl ester content. These data suggest: (a) lack of correlation between HDL-C and fecal or aortic cholesterol content; (b) HDL function (CEC) correlated with fecal cholesterol content; (c) association of reduced aortic lipids in LDLr−/− mice with increased fecal cholesterol, but not with HDL-C, and (d) existence of an HDL-independent pathway for fecal cholesterol excretion following co-treatment with LXR and PPAR-α agonists.

Abstract
High density lipoproteins (HDL) are key components of reverse cholesterol transport pathway. HDL removes excessive cholesterol from peripheral cells, including macrophages, providing protection from cholesterol accumulation and conversion into foam cells, which is a key event in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The mechanism of cellular cholesterol efflux stimulation by HDL involves interaction with the ABCA1 lipid transporter and ensuing transfer of cholesterol to HDL particles. In this study, we looked for additional proteins contributing to HDL-dependent cholesterol efflux. Using RNAseq, we analyzed mRNAs induced by HDL in human monocyte-derived macrophages and identified three genes, fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1), insulin induced gene 1 (INSIG1), and the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), expression of which was significantly upregulated by HDL. We individually knocked down these genes in THP-1 cells using gene silencing by siRNA, and measured cellular cholesterol efflux to HDL. Knock down of FADS1 did not significantly change cholesterol efflux (p = 0.70), but knockdown of INSIG1 and LDLR resulted in highly significant reduction of the efflux to HDL (67% and 75% of control, respectively, p < 0.001). Importantly, the suppression of cholesterol efflux was independent of known effects of these genes on cellular cholesterol content, as cells were loaded with cholesterol using acetylated LDL. These results indicate that HDL particles stimulate expression of genes that enhance cellular cholesterol transfer to HDL.

Abstract
The 'cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC)' assay is a simple in vitro measure of the capacities of individual sera to promote the first step of the reverse cholesterol transport pathway, the delivery of cellular cholesterol to plasma HDL. This review describes the cell biology of this model and critically assesses its application as a marker of cardiovascular risk. We describe the pathways for cell cholesterol export, current cell models used in the CEC assay with their limitations and consider the contribution that measurement of serum CEC provides to our understanding of HDL function in vivo.

Abstract
SCOPE Ginger is reported to be used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells is an important process in reverse cholesterol transport, whose increase may help to prevent or treat CVD. In this study, we investigated the effects of 6-dihydroparadol from ginger on macrophage cholesterol efflux. METHODS AND RESULTS We show that 6-dihydroparadol concentration-dependently enhances both apolipoprotein A1- and human plasma-mediated cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded THP-1-derived macrophages using macrophage cholesterol efflux assay. 6-Dihydroparadol increases protein levels of both ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 [ABCA1] and ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 [ABCG1]) according to Western blot analysis. The ABCA1 inhibitor probucol completely abolishes 6-dihydroparadol-enhanced cholesterol efflux. Furthermore, increased ABCA1 protein levels in the presence of 6-dihydroparadol were associated with both increased ABCA1 mRNA levels and increased ABCA1 protein stability. Enhanced ABCG1 protein levels were only associated with increased protein stability. Increased ABCA1 protein stability appeared to be the result of a reduced proteasomal degradation of the transporter in the presence of 6-dihydroparadol. CONCLUSION We identified 6-dihydroparadol from ginger as a novel promoter of cholesterol efflux from macrophages that increases both ABCA1 and ABCG1 protein abundance. This newly identified bioactivity might contribute to the antiatherogenic effects of ginger.
