High-density lipoprotein exerts vasculoprotection via endothelial progenitor cells
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) enhance endothelial cell repair, improve endothelial dysfunction and are a predictor for cardiovascular mortality. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels inversely correlate with cardiovascular events and have vasculoprotective effects. Here we postulate that HDL influences EPC biology. HDL and EPC were isolated according to standard procedures. Dif...
متن کاملHuman Endothelial Progenitor Cells Internalize High-Density Lipoprotein
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) originate either directly from hematopoietic stem cells or from a subpopulation of monocytes. Controversial views about intracellular lipid traffic prompted us to analyze the uptake of human high density lipoprotein (HDL), and HDL-cholesterol in human monocytic EPCs. Fluorescence and electron microscopy were used to investigate distribution and intracellular ...
متن کاملBile Acids Reduce Endocytosis of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in HepG2 Cells
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports lipids to hepatic cells and the majority of HDL-associated cholesterol is destined for biliary excretion. Cholesterol is excreted into the bile directly or after conversion to bile acids, which are also present in the plasma as they are effectively reabsorbed through the enterohepatic cycle. Here, we provide evidence that bile acids affect HDL endocytos...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein restores endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic men.
BACKGROUND Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis-causing endothelial dysfunction, an early event in the disease process. In contrast, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol inversely correlates with morbidity and mortality representing a protective effect. Therefore, we investigated the effects of reconstituted HDL on endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic men. M...
متن کاملRegulation of high density lipoprotein binding activity of aortic endothelial cells by treatment with acetylated low density lipoprotein.
High density lipoprotein (HDL) binding to human fibroblasts and arterial smooth muscle cells is up-regulated when sterol is delivered to cells in the form of nonlipoprotein cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL). Results from the present study show that the HDL binding activity of aortic endothelial cells is up-regulated when cholesterol in the form of acetylated LDL (AcLDL) is delivered ...
