چکیده

The relationship between autoantibodies to oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial. IgM and IgG OxLDL autoantibodies to malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified LDL, copper oxidized low density lipoprotein (CuOxLDL), and oxidized cholesterol linoleate (OxCL), as well as apolipoprotein B-100 immune complexes (apoB-ICs), were measured in 504 patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography. Patients were followed for cardiovascular events for a median of 4 years. In univariate analysis, IgM OxLDL autoantibodies and IgM apoB-ICs were inversely associated with the presence of angiographically determined CAD, whereas IgG OxLDL autoantibodies and IgG apoB-ICs were positively associated. In logistic regression analysis, compared with the first quartile, patients in the fourth quartile of IgM OxLDL autoantibodies and apoB-ICs showed a lower probability of angiographically determined CAD (>50% diameter stenosis). Odds ratios and (95% confidence intervals) were as follows: MDA-LDL, 0.51 (0.32-0.82; P = 0.005); CuOxLDL, 0.63 (0.39-1.01; P = 0.05); OxCL, 0.63 (0.39-1.01; P = 0.05); and apoB-IC, 0.55 (0.34-0.88; P = 0.013). These relationships were accentuated in the setting of hypercholesterolemia, with the highest IgM levels showing the lowest risk of CAD for the same level of hypercholesterolemia. Multivariable analysis revealed that neither IgM or IgG OxLDL autoantibodies nor apoB-ICs were independently associated with angiographically determined CAD or cardiovascular events. In conclusion, IgG and IgM OxLDL biomarkers have divergent associations with CAD in univariate analysis but are not independent predictors of CAD or clinical events.

OBJECTIVE Previous smaller studies have indicated inverse associations between autoantibodies to oxidized low-density lipoprotein epitopes, and cardiovascular disease. The present study investigated associations between autoantibodies against the apolipoprotein B-100 peptides p45 and p210, respectively, and risk of incident cardiovascular disease in a large population-based cohort.

Relationship between lipoprotein- and oxidation-related variables and atheroma lipid composition in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

The relationship between atheroma lipid composition and serum lipoprotein and oxidation measurements has not been fully explored. To address this question, we studied serum, plasma, and aortic wall specimens from 66 subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The lipid composition of aortic specimens was characterized in terms of cholesterol ester and cholesterol crystal plus phos...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a set of particles with heterogeneous structures that have different functions due to various compounds including surface charge, size, lipid, and protein compounds. Several prospective epidemiological studies have demonstrated that there is a clear inverse relationship between serum HDL concentration and risk of coronary heart disease, despite this relationshi...
