Kypreos* 1University of Patras, School of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology, Rio Achaias, TK. 26500, Greece; §Equal contribution to this work Abstract Atherosclerosis is a multistep process that progresses over a long period of time and displays a broad range of severity. In its final form, it manifests as a lesion of the intimal layer of the arterial wall. Multiple epidemiological and clinical studies in the past suggested that reduced HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels may correlate with increased risk for atherosclerosis. More recent data indicated that high density lipo- protein (HDL) particle functionality rather than HDL-C levels is a much more important parameter for human health and disease. Recent data from clinical paradigms and studies in mice support the interest- ing hypothesis that variations in HDL proteome may set the basis for its functionality. Apolipoprotein A2 (APOA2) is the second most abundant protein of HDL and plays a crucial role in HDL particle syn- thesis. Studies in mice suggested a proatherogenic role for APOA2 though studies in humans failed thus far to establish a clear role for APOA2 in atherosclerosis. Interestingly, though APOA2 increases HDL-C levels, the effects of this protein on HDL functionality are not adequately investigated. Understanding how APOA2 affects HDL and the lipoprotein transport system may provide another important piece in the puzzle of the mechanisms linking plasma lipoproteins with atherosclerosis.

Lipids are any fat-soluble, naturally-occurring molecules and one of their main biological functions is energy storage. Lipoproteins carry hydrophobic lipids in the water and salt-based blood environment for processing and energy supply in liver and other organs. In this study, the genomic area around the apolipoprotein genes was scanned in silico for PPAR response elements (PPREs) using the in vitro data-based computer program. Several new putative REs were found in surroundings of multiple lipoprotein genes. The responsiveness of those apolipoprotein genes to the PPAR ligands GW501516, rosiglitazone and GW7647 in the HepG2, HEK293 and THP-1 cell lines were tested with real-time PCR. The APOA1, APOA2, APOB, APOD, APOE, APOF, APOL1, APOL3, APOL5 and APOL6 genes were found to be regulated by PPARs in direct or secondary manners. Those results provide new insights in the understanding of lipid metabolism and so many lifestyle diseases like atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

  • Lrp1 Modulators
    Last updated on February 14, 2021 Cognitive Vitality Reports® are reports written by neuroscientists at the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF). These scientific reports include analysis of drugs, drugs-in- development, drug targets, supplements, nutraceuticals, food/drink, non-pharmacologic interventions, and risk factors. Neuroscientists evaluate the potential benefit (or harm) for brain health, as well as for age-related health concerns that can affect brain health (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes/metabolic syndrome). In addition, these reports include evaluation of safety data, from clinical trials if available, and from preclinical models. Lrp1 Modulators Evidence Summary Lrp1 has a variety of essential functions, mediated by a diverse array of ligands. Therapeutics will need to target specific interactions. Neuroprotective Benefit: Lrp1-mediated interactions promote Aβ clearance, Aβ generation, tau propagation, brain glucose utilization, and brain lipid homeostasis. The therapeutic effect will depend on the interaction targeted. Aging and related health concerns: Lrp1 plays mixed roles in cardiovascular diseases and cancer, dependent on context. Lrp1 is dysregulated in metabolic disease, which may contribute to insulin resistance. Safety: Broad-spectrum Lrp1 modulators are untenable therapeutics due to the high potential for extensive side effects. Therapies that target a specific Lrp1-ligand interaction are expected to have a better therapeutic profile. 1 Last updated on February 14, 2021 Availability: Research use Dose: N/A Chemical formula: N/A S16 is in clinical trials MW: N/A Half life: N/A BBB: Angiopep is a peptide that facilitates BBB penetrance by interacting with Lrp1 Clinical trials: S16, an Lrp1 Observational studies: sLrp1 levels are agonist was tested in healthy altered in Alzheimer’s disease, volunteers (n=10) in a Phase 1 cardiovascular disease, and metabolic study.

Whereas their capacity to transport hydrophobic lipids in a hydrophilic environment (plasma) is not questionable, their primitive function of cholesterol transporter could be challenged. All lipoproteins are reported to bind and potentially neutralize bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS); this is particularly true for HDL particles. In addition, HDL levels are drastically decreased under infectious conditions such as sepsis, suggesting a potential role in the clearance of bacterial material and, particularly, LPS. Moreover, “omics” technologies have unveiled significant changes in HDL composition in different inflammatory states, ranging from acute inflammation occurring during septic shock to low-grade inflammation associated with moderate endotoxemia such as periodontal disease or obesity. In this review, we will discuss HDL modifications associated with exposure to pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites, with a special focus on sepsis and the potential of HDL therapy in this context.

The study aim was to identify APOA2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of HDL-C levels and its relationship with HDL-C level. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from Tehran Glucose and Lipid Study (TLGS) at Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Tehran, Iran from April 2012 to February 2013. In total, 79 individuals with extreme low HDL-C levels (≤5th percentile for age and gender) and 63 individuals with extreme high HDL-C levels (≥95th percentile for age and gender) were selected. Variants were identified using DNA amplification and direct sequencing. Results: Screen of all exons and the core promoter region of APOA2 gene identified nine single nucleotide substitutions and one microsatellite; five of which were known and four were new variants.

  • Albuminuria, the High-Density Lipoprotein Proteome, and Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus the DCCT/EDIC Study

Zelnick, Jake Wimberger, Jonathan Himmelfarb, John Brunzell, W. Sean Davidson, Janet K. Snell-Bergeon, Karin E. Bornfeldt, Ian H. de Boer, Jay W. Heinecke, for the DCCT/EDIC Research Group Objective—Albuminuria is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. We determined whether albuminuria associates with alterations in the proteome of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) of subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus and whether those alterations associated with coronary artery calcification. Approach and Results—In a cross-sectional study of 191 subjects enrolled in the DCCT (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial)/EDIC study (Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications), we used isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry to quantify 46 proteins in HDL. Stringent statistical analysis demonstrated that 8 proteins associated with albuminuria. Two of those proteins, AMBP (α1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor) and PTGDS (prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase), strongly and positively associated with the albumin excretion rate (P<10−6). Furthermore, PON (paraoxonase) 1 and PON3 levels in HDL strongly and negatively associated with the presence of coronary artery calcium, with odds ratios per 1-SD difference of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.43–0.92; P=0.018) for PON1 and 0.59 (95% CI, 0.40–0.87; P=0.0079) for PON3. Only 1 protein, PON1, associated with both albumin excretion rate and coronary artery calcification. Conclusions—Our observations indicate that the HDL proteome is remodeled in type 1 diabetes mellitus subjects with albuminuria.
