چکیده

The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers lipids among lipoprotein particles and plays a central role in lipoprotein metabolism. Humans with genetic deficiency of CETP have both elevated HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I concentrations as well as decreased LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the metabolic basis for the decreased LDL cholesterol and apo B levels in CETP deficiency. We conducted a series of in vivo apo B kinetic studies in tow unrelated homozygotes with CETP deficiency and in control subjects. A primed constant infusion of stable isotopically labeled phenylalanine was administered to the two CETP deficient subjects and control subjects and apo B kinetic parameters in VLDL, intermediate density lipoproteins, and LDL were obtained by using a multicompartmental model. The fractional catabolic rates (FCR) of LDL apo B were significantly increased in the CETP-deficient subjects (0.56 and 0.75/d) compared with the controls (mean FCR of 0.39/d). Furthermore, the production rates of apo B in VLDL and intermediate density lipoprotein were decreased by 55% and 81%, respectively, in CETP deficiency compared with the controls. In conclusion, CETP-deficient subjects were demonstrated to have substantially increased catabolic rates of LDL apo B as the primary metabolic basis for the low plasma levels of LDL apo B. This result indicates that the LDL receptor pathway may be up-regulated in CETP deficiency.

Familial cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency is associated with triglyceride-rich low density lipoproteins containing cholesteryl esters of probable intracellular origin.

The net transfer of core lipids between lipoproteins is facilitated by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). We have recently documented CETP deficiency in a family with hyperalphalipoproteinemia, due to a CETP gene splicing defect. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the plasma lipoproteins within the low density lipoprotein (LDL) density range and also the cholesteryl es...

Lipid Transfer Proteins, HDL Metabolism, and Atherogenesis

Plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels show an inverse relationship to atherogenesis, in part reflecting the role of HDL in mediating reverse cholesterol transport. The transfer of HDL cholesterol to the liver involves 3 catabolic pathways: the indirect, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)–mediated pathway, the selective uptake (scavenger receptor BI) pathway, and a particulate HDL ...

Statins, Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibition, High Density Lipoprotein Particle Metabolism and Heart Disease Risk Reduction

Statins have been shown to decrease cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity (CETP) activity, and rearrange HDL particles. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors (JTT-705 and torcetrapib) are currently in clinical testing and significantly raise high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Low HDL cholesterol is a significant independent predictor of coronary heart diseas...

Cholesteryl ester transfer activity in plasma of patients with familial high-density lipoprotein deficiency.

We determined cholesteryl ester transfer activity in whole plasma and in lipoprotein-depleted plasma of normolipidemic subjects and of patients with severe high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency: Tangier disease, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency, and "fish-eye" disease. Transfer rates in plasma were positively correlated (r = 0.950) with rates measured in the absence of...
