BACKGROUND Children from families with a history of cardiovascular system diseases are especially predisposed to early development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the selected lipid parameters and polymorphisms of G279A located in the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) gene. MATERIAL/METHODS This longitudinal study was performed in 3 stages. During s...
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that mediates bidirectional transfers of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Because low levels of plasma CETP are associated with increased plasma HDL-cholesterol, therapeutic inhibition of CETP activity is considered an attractive strategy for elevating plasma H...
We identified different lipemic and metabolic responses after the ingestion of a standardized meal by healthy adults and related them to atherosclerotic markers. Samples from 60 normolipidemic adults were collected before and after a liquid meal (40 g fat/m² body surface) at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h for measurements of lipids, free fatty acids (FFA), insulin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP...
objective(s): in this study, for the first time, mf59 adjuvant was used to develop a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) vaccine. the efficacy of the vaccine was compared with the efficacy of cetp vaccine formulated with alum/cpg, the formulation that its immunogenicity has been already demonstrated in rabbit and mice. materials and methods: tetanus toxoid- cetp peptide (tt-cetp) was mixe...
Abundant amounts of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) are found in macrophage-derived foam cells in the arterial wall, but its function in atherogenesis is unknown. To investigate the role of macrophage CETP in atherosclerosis, LDL receptor knockout mice were transplanted with bone marrow from CETP transgenic mice, which express the human CETP transgene under control of its natural prom...
The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to other lipoproteins and is a key regulated component of reverse cholesterol transport. Dietary hypercholesterolemia results in increased hepatic CETP gene transcription and higher plasma CETP levels. To investigate the mechanisms by which the liver senses hypercholesterolemia, mice contai...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) directly mediates selective uptake of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesteryl ester (CE) by hepatocytes and to quantify the effects of the CETP inhibitor, torcetrapib, on this process. METHODS AND RESULTS Using adenovirus-mediated CETP (ad-CETP) expression in primary mouse hepatocytes from either wild-type, low-densit...
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates triglyceride and cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer between lipoproteins, and its activity is strongly modulated by dietary cholesterol. To better understand the regulation of CETP synthesis and the relationship between CETP levels and cellular lipid metabolism, we selected the SW872 adipocytic cell line as a model. These cells secrete CETP in a t...
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has a well-defined role in plasma neutral lipid transport. CETP synthesized by human adipose tissue may contribute to the plasma CETP pool. CETP mRNA abundance increases in subcutaneous adipose tissue in response to cholesterol feeding and we have hypothesized that CETP gene expression is regulated by a specific pool of cellular sterol. In the present s...
AIM Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is an important lipid transfer factor in plasma that enhances prothrombinase activity in purified systems. This study was conducted to test the association of plasma CETP activity with venous thrombosis (VTE) and to address the procoagulant mechanism of CETP activity in prothrombinase assays. METHODS We measured CETP lipid transfer activity in pla...
