RATIONALE Therapies that inhibit CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) have failed to demonstrate a reduction in risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Human DNA sequence variants that truncate the CETP gene may provide insight into the efficacy of CETP inhibition. OBJECTIVE To test whether protein-truncating variants (PTVs) at the CETP gene were associated with plasma lipid levels and CH...
Using a vaccine approach, we immunized New Zealand White rabbits with a peptide containing a region of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) known to be required for neutral lipid transfer function. These rabbits had significantly reduced plasma CETP activity and an altered lipoprotein profile. In a cholesterol-fed rabbit model of atherosclerosis, the fraction of plasma cholesterol in HDL w...
CETP is a hydrophobic glycoprotein secreted by the liver and is predominantly associated with apo A-I containing lipoproteins in the plasm. CETP plays important roles in modulating vascular lipoproteins. It facilitates the redistribution of cholesterol esters, phospholipids, and triglycerides between plasma lipoproteins. As a consequence of CETP-mediated transfer of cholesterol esters from HDL(...
Journal of Lipid Research Volume 54, 2013 2647 Copyright © 2013 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. of agents that increase levels of HDL-C has been challenging, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has emerged as a potential therapeutic target. In human plasma, CETP facilitates the movement of neutral lipid between lipoproteins, resulting in a net exchange...
The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) catalyzes the transfer of cholesteryl esters from high density lipoproteins (HDL) to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and plays a major role in the catabolism of HDL. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for hydrolysis of circulating triglyceride and is involved in HDL formation. We show that tissues containing LPL are major sou...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of serum cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and the metabolism of various lipids including apoproteins in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The relationships between serum concentrations of CETP and various lipids and apoproteins were investigated in 193 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 68 age-matched healthy subjects. Seru...
Hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) is caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Among these, plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency is the most important and frequent cause of HALP in the Asian populations. CETP facilitates the transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins, and is a key...
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the reciprocal transfer of neutral lipids (cholesteryl esters, triglycerides) and phospholipids between different lipoprotein fractions in human blood plasma. A novel molecular agent known as anacetrapib has been shown to inhibit CETP activity and thereby raise high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL...
It is unclear whether cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) contributes to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) in Caucasians. Moreover, even less is known about the effects of hereditary CETP deficiency in non-Japanese. We studied 95 unrelated Caucasian individuals with HALP. No correlations between CETP concentration or activity and HDL-C...
The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the exchange of HDL cholesteryl esters with triglycerides of other lipoproteins. Subsequent lipolysis of the triglyceride-enriched HDL by hepatic lipase leads to reductions of HDL size and apoA-I content. To investigate a possible modulation of the effects of CETP by apoA-II, human CETP transgenic mice were cross-bred with transgenic...
