Fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression.
In addition to efficiently decreasing VLDL-triglycerides (TGs), fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol levels in humans. We investigated whether the fenofibrate-induced increase in HDL-cholesterol is dependent on the expression of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). To this end, APOE*3-Leiden (E3L) transgenic mice without and with the human CETP transgene, under the control of its nat...
متن کاملInhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein by torcetrapib modestly increases macrophage cholesterol efflux to HDL.
OBJECTIVE This study examines the effects of pharmacological inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) on the ability of high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL) to promote net cholesterol efflux from human THP-1 macrophage foam cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Two groups of 8 healthy, moderately hyperlipidemic subjects received the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib at 60 or 120 mg daily for...
متن کاملNiacin increases HDL by reducing hepatic expression and plasma levels of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in APOE*3Leiden.CETP mice.
OBJECTIVE Niacin potently decreases plasma triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol. In addition, niacin is the most potent HDL-cholesterol-increasing drug used in the clinic. In the present study, we aimed at elucidation of the mechanism underlying its HDL-raising effect. METHODS AND RESULTS In APOE*3Leiden transgenic mice expressing the human CETP transgene, niacin dose-dependently decreased plasm...
متن کاملTransfer of cholesteryl ester into high density lipoprotein by cholesteryl ester transfer protein: effect of HDL lipid and apoprotein content.
Recombinant high density lipoprotein (rHDL) particles were prepared by cosonication of purified lipids and human apoproteins and incubated with partly purified cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) containing [3H]cholesteryl ester. Increasing the triglyceride content relative to cholesteryl ester in rHDL significantly decreased the ability of the particles ...
متن کاملApolipoprotein composition of HDL in cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency.
Our purpose was to compare HDL subpopulations, as determined by nondenaturing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting for apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoCs, and apoE in heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous subjects for cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency and controls. Heterozygotes, compound heterozygotes, and homozygotes...
