High-density lipoprotein: does it have a dark side?
There are proven pleiotropic anti-atherogenic actions of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, in systemic inflammation, HDL can have pro-inflammatory properties that may contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis, likely mediated by a change in the structure of HDL to pro-inflammatory HDL (PiHDL). Validation of the technically challenging assay for PiHDL, and confirmation of an association o...
متن کاملHDL and the inflammatory response induced by LDL-derived oxidized phospholipids.
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) phospholipids containing arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position occurs when a critical concentration of "seeding molecules" derived from the lipoxygenase pathway is reached in LDL. When this critical concentration is reached, the nonenzymatic oxidation of LDL phospholipids produces a series of biologically active, oxidized phospholipids that mediate the...
متن کاملRelationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis
Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...
متن کاملHemoglobin, haptoglobin and hemopexin play a role in HDL inflammatory properties 1 Hemoglobin and its scavenger protein haptoglobin associate with apoA-1 containing particles and influence the inflammatory properties and function of high density lipoprotein
Hemoglobin (Hb) uniquely associates with proinflammatory HDL in atherogenic mice and coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. In this paper, we report that Hb and its scavenger proteins, haptoglobin (Hp) and hemopexin (Hx) are significantly increased in apoA-1 containing particles of HDL both in mouse models of hyperlipidemia as well as CHD patients, when compared to wild type mice and healthy do...
متن کاملResveratrol protects against diet-induced atherosclerosis by reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and inhibiting inflammation in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Objective(s):Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. However, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. Herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of RES in apolipoprotein E (apo E)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. Materials and Methods: Firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...
