چکیده مقاله:

Background: The serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene polymorphism rs5923 on LCAT enzyme activity and serum HDL-C concentration. Methods: The study population was selected from consecutive individuals with HDL-C &le 5th percentile (n = 73) and extremely high HDL-C &ge 95th percentile (n = 57) who had participated in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. The rs5923 polymorphism was genotyped using direct sequencing. LCAT activity was measured by fluorometric assay kit, and lipid concentrations were measured using the enzymatic colorimetric method. Results: The genotype frequencies were significantly different between the high HDL-C group (CC 94.7%, CT 5.3%) and the low HDL-C group (CC 83.6%, CT 16.4%) (P = 0.048). The T-allele frequencies in subjects with low and high HDL-C were 0.082 and 0.026, respectively (P = 0.16). The association of the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs5923 with low HDL-C was not statistically significant after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI (odd ratio = 2.65, 95% confidence interval = 0.32-21.5, P = 0.36, regression logistic analysis). Also, the effects of LCAT enzyme activity did not depend on the HDL-C level (P = 0.24). Conclusion: rs5923 polymorphism is not associated with low HDL-C levels in Iranian population

Low density lipoprotein-activated lysolecithin acylation by human plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. Identity of lysolecithin acyltransferase and lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase.

There is in normal plasma an enzyme activity which converts labeled lysolecithin to lecithin by an energy-independent low density lipoprotein-activated pathway. Studies were undertaken to compare the identity of this enzyme with lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. During purification of the enzyme by ultracentrifugation and by chromatography on high density lipoprotein affinity column, DEAE-S...

High-Density Lipoprotein, Lecithin: Cholesterol Acyltransferase, and Atherosclerosis

Epidemiological data clearly show the existence of a strong inverse correlation between plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and the incidence of coronary heart disease. This relation is explained by a number of atheroprotective properties of HDL, first of all the ability to promote macrophage cholesterol transport. HDL are highly heterogeneous and are continuously...

Cholesterol efflux by acute-phase high density lipoprotein: role of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase.

HDL plays an initial role in reverse cholesterol transport by mediating cholesterol removal from cells. During infection and inflammation, several changes in HDL composition occur that may affect the function of HDL; therefore, we determined the ability of acute-phase HDL to promote cholesterol removal from cells. Acute-phase HDL was isolated from plasma of Syrian hamsters injected with lipopol...

Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting  CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...
