The role of low-density lipoprotein （LDL） and high-density lipoprotein （HDL） in comparison with whole egg yolk for sperm cryopreservation in rhesus monkeys

Low-density lipoprotein （LDL） extracted from hen egg yolk has recently been considered to be superior to whole egg yolk in sperm cryopreservation of various animal species. Meanwhile, there was a notion that high-density lipoprotein （HDL） in egg yolk may have a negative effect on post-thaw survival. The role of LDL and HDL in sperm cryopreservation of rhesus monkeys has not been explored. The present study evaluates their effect in comparison with egg yolk with or without the addition of permeable cryoprotectant （glycerol） on sperm cryopreservation of rhesus macaques. In addition, various additives intended to change the lipid composition of LDL-sperm membrane complex have also been tested for their effectiveness in preserving post-thaw viability. Our findings indicated that LDL is the main component in egg yolk that is responsible for its protective role for sperm cryopreservation in rhesus monkeys. Regardless of the presence or absence of glycerol, the protective role of LDL is similar to that of egg yolk and we did not observe any superiority in post-thaw survival with LDL when compared to egg yolk. Modifying the lipid composition of LDL-sperm membrane complex with the addition of cholesterol, cholesterol loaded cyclodextrin and phosphatidylcholine also did not yield any improvements in pest-thaw survival; while addition of methyl-β-cyclodextrin reduced post-thaw motility. HDL plays a neutral role in sperm cryopreservation of rhesus monkeys. The present study suggests that egg yolk may still hold advantages when compared with LDL as effective components in extenders for sperm cryopreservation in rhesus monkeys.

The pleiotropic vasoprotective functions of high density lipoproteins(HDL)

The pleiotropic functions of circulating high density lipoprotein（HDL） on peripheral vascular health are well established. HDL plays a pivotal role in reverse cholesterol transport and is also known to suppress inflammation,endothelial activation and apoptosis in peripheral vessels. Although not expressed in the central nervous system, HDL has nevertheless emerged as a potential resilience factor for dementia in multiple epidemiological studies. Animal model data specifically support a role for HDL in attenuating the accumulation of P-amyloid within cerebral vessels concomitant with reduced neuroinflammation and improved cognitive performance. As the vascular contributions to dementia are increasingly appreciated, this review seeks to summarize recent literature focused on the vasoprotective properties of HDL that may extend to cerebral vessels, discuss potential roles of HDL in dementia relative to brainderived lipoproteins, identify gaps in current knowledge, and highlight new opportunities for research and discovery.

High-density lipoprotein and atherosclerosis: Roles of lipid transporters

Various previous studies have found a negative cor-relation between the risk of cardiovascular events and serum high-density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol levels. The reverse cholesterol transport, a pathway of choles-terol from peripheral tissue to liver which has several potent antiatherogenic properties. For instance, the particles of HDL mediate to transport cholesterol from cells in arterial tissues, particularly from atherosclerotic plaques, to the liver. Both ATP-binding cassette trans-porters(ABC) A1 and ABCG1 are membrane cholesterol transporters and have been implicated in mediating cholesterol effluxes from cells in the presence of HDL and apolipoprotein A-I, a major protein constituent of HDL. Previous studies demonstrated that ABCA1 and ABCG1 or the interaction between ABCA1 and ABCG1 exerted antiatherosclerotic effects. As a therapeutic approach for increasing HDL cholesterol levels, much focus has been placed on increasing HDL cholesterol levels as well as enhancing HDL biochemical functions. HDL therapies that use injections of reconstituted HDL, apoA-I mimetics, or full-length apoA-I have shown dramatic effectiveness. In particular, a novel apoA-I mi-metic peptide, Fukuoka University ApoA-I Mimetic Pep-tide, effectively removes cholesterol via specific ABCA1 and other transporters, such as ABCG1, and has an an-tiatherosclerotic effect by enhancing the biological func-tions of HDL without changing circulating HDL choles-terol levels. Thus, HDL-targeting therapy has significant atheroprotective potential, as it uses lipid transporter-targeting agents, and may prove to be a therapeutic tool for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

High density lipoproteins and type 2 diabetes:Emerging concepts in their relationship

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) frequently exhibit macrovascular complications of atherosclerotic cardiovascular(CV) disease. High density lipoproteins(HDL) are protective against atherosclerosis. Low levels of HDL cholesterol(HDL-C) independently contribute to CV risk. Patients with T2 DM not only exhibit low HDL-C, but also dysfunctional HDL. Furthermore, low concentration of HDL may increase the risk for the development of T2 DM through a decreased β cell survival and secretory function. In this paper, we discuss emerging concepts in the relationship of T2 DM with HDL.

Metabolism of high density lipoproteins in liver cancer

SNP Detection of High Density Lipoprotein Binding Protein Gene (HBP) and Its Correlations with Growth Traits in Largemouth Bass(Micropterus salmoides)

High density lipoprotein binding protein （HBP） plays an important role in lipid metabolism of animals. Lipids are indispensable energy materials for fi- shes, especially for carnivorous fishes with low utilization efficiency of carbohydrates. The single nucleotide polymorphism （SNP） of HBP gene may affect the fat metabolism, thereby exerting an effect on the growth traits of largemouth bass （Micropterus salmoides）. Investigating the correlations between SNP and growth traits can provide candidate markers for molecular marker-assisted selection. In this study, partial genomic fraganents of HBP gene （ GenBank accession number： KF652241 ） were amplified based on the sequences of an available contig in the EST-SNP database of largemouth bass. Three SNP mutation loci were identified in the 3＇ non-ceding region of HBP gene by direct sequencing, including H1 （G ＋ 2782T）, 142 （T ＋ 2817C） and H3 （G ＋ 2857A）. Three SNP loci of 165 randomly selected largemouth bass individuals were detected and genotyped by SnaPshot assay. Genetic structure was analyzed by POPGENE32 software. By using spssl7.0 software, a general linear model （GLM） was established for correlation analysis between different genotypes at SNP loci of HBP gene and various growth traits. The results showed that three SNP loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium state. To be specific, loci H1 and H2 formed two haplotypes （ A and B）, and three geno- types （AA, AB, and BB） were observed; loci H1, H2 and H3 formed six diplotypes （DI, I）2, D3, D4, D5 and D6）. According to the correlations between dif- ferent genotypes and various growth traits, the body weight and total length of largemouth bass individuals with genotype BB were significantly higher than those of individuals with genotype AB （ P 〈 0.05 ） ; the body weight and total length of largemouth bass individuals with diplotype D6 were significantly higher than those of individuals with diplotype D4 （P 〈0.05）. In this study, SNP markers correlated with growth traits were obtained in the 3＇ non-coding region ofHBP gene in large-mouth bass, which could be used as candidate genetic markers for subsequent molecular marker-assisted selection breeding of largemouth bass.

High density lipoprotein and cardiovascular diseases

Several epidemiological studies have clearly shown that low plasma levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) represent a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. However, it is unclear if there is a causal association between HDL-C concentration and CVD. A recent study published in the Lancet, which performed two Mendelian randomization analyses, showed that increased HDL-C levels were not associated with a decreased risk of myocardial infarction. These findings, together with the termination of the niacin-based AIM-HIGH trial and the discontinuation of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor dalcetrapib, challenge the concept that raising of plasma HDL-C will uniformly translate into reductions in CVD risk. HDL particles exhibit several anti-atherosclerotic properties, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities and cellular cholesterol efflux activity. Furthermore, HDL particles are very heterogeneous in terms of size, structure, composition and metabolism. HDL functionality may be associated more strongly with CVD risk than the traditional HDL-C levels. More research is needed to assess the association of the structure of HDL particle with its functionality and metabolism.

High Density Lipoprotein Phospholipids as a Marker of Coronary Heart Disease of Shen-Yang Deficiency Syndrome

Objective: To seek a new biochemical index for diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) of shen-Yang deficiency syndrom (CHD-SYD). Methods: Sixty-one patients with CHD were divided into 3 groups according to their TCM Syndrome type, 10 patients in the group without Xin-Qi deficiency (Group A), 25 in the group with Xin-Qi deficiency but without Shen-Yang deficiency (Group B) and 26 in the group both with Xin-Qi deficiency and Shen-Yang deficiency (Group C). Levels of 17-hydroxy-corticoste-roid in urine (urinary 17-OHCS) per 24 hrs, and serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high density lipoprotein phospholipid (HDL-PL) in them were determined in synchrostep and compared with those in the control group of 23 healthy aged persons, urinary 17-OHCS per 24 hrs was taken as the diagnostic standard to screen a new index for diagnosis of Shen-Yang deficiency Syndrome, and preliminary appraisal to the index was made. Results: Serum HDL-PL in the CHD-SYD patients( Group C) was 616+157 mg/L, which was obviously lower than that in the patients of Group A and B. With low HDL-PL(<650 mg/L) used as the index to diagnose CHD-SYD, the sensitivity was 73%, the specificity 86% and the accuracy 80%. Conclusion: HDL-PL <650 mg/L could be adopted as an index for CHD-SYD diagnosis, which is simple and practical.

Effect of low high-density lipoprotein levels on mortality of septic patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

BACKGROUND:An increase in high-density lipoprotein(HDL)is well associated with a decreased cardiovascular risk,especially atherosclerosis.Recent studies suggest that lower levels of HDL may also be associated with an increased risk of sepsis and an increased rate of mortality in septic patients.However,this conclusion remains controversial.METHODS:MEDLINE,EMBASE,and CENTRAL databases were searched from inception to September 30,2019.All studies were conducted to evaluate the correlation of lipoprotein levels and the risk and outcomes of sepsis in adult patients.The primary outcomes were the risk and mortality of sepsis.RESULTS:Seven studies comprising 791 patients were included.Lower levels of HDL had no marked relevance with the risk of sepsis(odds radio[OR]for each 1 mg/dL increase,0.94;95%CI 0.86–1.02;P=0.078),whereas lower HDL levels were related to an increased mortality rate in septic patients(OR for below about median HDL levels,2.00;95%CI 1.23–3.24;P=0.005).CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis did not reveal a signifi cant association between lower HDL levels and an increase in the risk of sepsis,whereas it showed that lower HDL levels are associated with a higher mortality rate in septic adult patients.These findings suggest that HDL may be considered as a promising factor for the prevention and treatment of sepsis in the future.

Bone and high-density lipoprotein:The beginning of a beautiful friendship

There is a tight link between bone and lipid metabolic pathways.In this vein,several studies focused on the exploration of high-density lipoprotein(HDL)in the pathobiology of bone diseases,with emphasis to the osteoarthritis(OA)and osteoporosis,the most common bone pathologies.Indeed,epidemiological and in vitro data have connected reduced HDL levels or dysfunctional HDL with cartilage destruction and OA development.Recent studies uncovered functional links between HDL and OA fueling the interesting hypothesis that OA could be a chronic element of the metabolic syndrome.Other studies have linked HDL to bone mineral density.Even though at epidemiological levels the results are conflicting,studies in animals as well as in vitro experiments have shown that HDL facilitates osteoblastogensis and bone synthesis and most probably affects osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast bone resorption.Notably,reduced HDL levels result in increased bone marrow adiposity affecting bone cells function.Unveiling the mechanisms that connect HDL and bone/cartilage homeostasis may contribute to the design of novel therapeutic agents for the improvement of bone and cartilage quality and thus for the treatment of related pathological conditions.

Prevalence of High Non-high-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Associated Risk Factors in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Jilin Province,China:A Cross-sectional Study

Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases（CVDs）in patients with diabetes,and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（non-HDL-C）is a better predictor of CVDs than low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）in patients with diabetes.Therefore,we aimed to investigate the distribution of non-HDL-C and the prevalence of high non-HDL-C level in Chinese patients with diabetes mellitus and identify the

Higher testosterone levels are associated with increased highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol in men with cardiovascular disease： results from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study

Aim： To study the relationship between circulating androgens （total testosterone [TT], free testosterone [IT] and dihydrotestosterone [DHT]） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） in men with and without cardiovascular disease （CVD）. Methods： Cross-sectional analyses included 1 661 baseline samples from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study （MMAS）, a population-based cohort of men ages 40-70 years. Serum hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay and HDL-C was determined following precipitation of the lower density lipoproteins. CVD was determined by self-report. Analyses were performed using multiple linear regression. Results： TT and HDL-C were positively correlated in the entire sample （r = 0.11, P = 0.0001）. After adjusting for confounders, we found this relationship was mostly limited to the 209 men with CVD. Among men with CVD, TT （P = 0.0004）, iT （P = 0.0172） and DHT （P = 0.0128） were all positively correlated with HDL-C, whereas in men without CVD only TT correlated with HDL-C （P = 0.0099）. Conclusion： Our results suggest that if androgens contribute to CVD in middle-aged men, the effect is not related to a suppressive effect of endogenous T on HDL-C. （Asian JAndrol 2008 Mar; 10： 193-200）

目的探究不同非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(non-HDL-C)水平初次急性心肌梗死患者的临床特征及载脂蛋白B(Apo B)和载脂蛋白A1(Apo A1)比值以及non-HDL-C与冠状动脉(冠脉)病变程度的相关性。方法选取2021年12月至2023年4月于重庆医科大学附属第一医院心内科入院治疗的首次诊断为急性心肌梗死且行冠脉造影的患者410例。计算Apo B/Apo A1比值及non-HDL-C,根据non-HDL-C三分位数分为低non-HDL-C组(≤2.89 mmol/L)、中non-HDL-C组(2.9~4.16 mmol/L)、高non-HDL-C组(≥4.17 mmol/L),比较三组患者一般临床资料及冠脉病变特点的差异性。另采用Spearman秩相关和二元Logistics回归分析non-HDL-C水平、Apo B/Apo A1对冠脉病变严重程度的影响。结果与低non-HDL-C组相比,中non-HDL-C组和高non-HDL-C组患者年龄更小(P<0.05);高non-HDL-C组较另外两组具有更高水平的体质指数(BMI)、三酰甘油(TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、ApoB、ApoA1、ApoB/ApoA1、白蛋白、γ-谷酰转移酶、尿酸(P<0.05)。三组间左前降支病变、回旋支病变、多支血管病变、Gensini评分相比,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。偏相关分析显示Apo B/Apo A1和non-HDL-C均与多支血管病变、Gensini评分呈正相关(P<0.05);多因素二元Logistics回归分析显示ApoB/ApoA1比值(OR=3.149,95%CI:1.209~8.201,P=0.019)、non-HDL-C≥4.17 mmol/L(OR=4.199,95%CI:1.524~11.565,P=0.006)是多支血管病变的独立危险因素。结论在初次急性心肌梗死青年患者有冠脉病变或(冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病)危险因素中,更应关注ApoB/ApoA1及non-HDL-C,同时严格控制non-HDL-C是心肌梗死患者潜在的降脂目标。
