The study of PPAR-alpha activation on apoA-I production in humans has been limited to fibrates, relatively weak PPAR-alpha agonists that may have other molecular effects. We sought to determine the effect of a potent and highly specific PPAR-alpha agonist, LY518674, on apoA-I, apoA-II, and apoB-100 kinetics in humans with metabolic syndrome and low levels of HDL cholesterol (C).
Subjects were randomized to receive LY518674 (100 microg) once daily (n=13) or placebo (n=15) for 8 weeks. Subjects underwent a kinetic study using a deuterated leucine tracer to measure apolipoprotein production and fractional catabolic rates (FCR) at baseline and after treatment. LY518674 significantly reduced VLDL-C (-38%, P=0.002) and triglyceride (-23%, P=0.002) levels whereas LDL-C and HDL-C levels were unchanged. LY518674 significantly reduced VLDL apoB-100 (-12%, P=0.01) levels, attributable to an increased VLDL apoB-100 FCR with no change in VLDL apoB-100 production. IDL and LDL apoB-100 kinetics were unchanged. LY518674 significantly increased the apoA-I production rate by 31% (P<0.0001), but this was accompanied by a 33% increase in the apoA-I FCR (P=0.002), resulting in no change in plasma apoA-I. There was a 71% increase in the apoA-II production rate (P<0.0001) accompanied by a 25% increase in the FCR (P<0.0001), resulting in a significant increase in plasma apoA-II.
Activation of PPAR-alpha with LY518674 (100 microg) in subjects with metabolic syndrome and low HDL-C increased the VLDL apoB-100 FCR consistent with enhanced lipolysis of plasma triglyceride. Significant increases in the apoA-I and apoA-II production rates were accompanied by increased FCRs resulting in no change in HDL-C levels. These data indicate a major effect of LY518674 on the production and clearance of apoA-I and HDL despite no change in the plasma concentration. The effect of these changes on reverse cholesterol transport remains to be determined.
关于过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPAR-α)激活对人体载脂蛋白A-I(apoA-I)生成的研究仅限于贝特类药物,这类相对较弱的PPAR-α激动剂可能还有其他分子效应。我们试图确定一种强效且高度特异性的PPAR-α激动剂LY518674对代谢综合征且高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)水平低的人体中apoA-I、apoA-II和载脂蛋白B-100(apoB-100)动力学的影响。
将受试者随机分为两组,一组每天接受一次LY518674(100微克,n = 13),另一组接受安慰剂(n = 15),为期8周。受试者在基线和治疗后使用氘代亮氨酸示踪剂进行动力学研究,以测量载脂蛋白的生成和分数分解代谢率(FCR)。LY518674显著降低了极低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(VLDL-C)水平(-38%,P = 0.002)和甘油三酯水平(-23%,P = 0.002),而低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)和HDL-C水平未改变。LY518674显著降低了VLDL apoB-100水平(-12%,P = 0.01),这归因于VLDL apoB-100的FCR增加,而VLDL apoB-100的生成没有变化。中间密度脂蛋白(IDL)和LDL apoB-100的动力学未改变。LY518674使apoA-I的生成率显著增加了31%(P < 0.0001),但同时apoA-I的FCR增加了33%(P = 0.002),导致血浆apoA-I水平没有变化。apoA-II的生成率增加了71%(P < 0.0001),同时FCR增加了25%(P < 0.0001),导致血浆apoA-II显著增加。
在代谢综合征且HDL-C低的受试者中,用LY518674(100微克)激活PPAR-α可增加VLDL apoB-100的FCR,这与血浆甘油三酯脂解增强一致。apoA-I和apoA-II生成率的显著增加伴随着FCR的增加,导致HDL-C水平没有变化。这些数据表明,尽管血浆浓度没有变化,但LY518674对apoA-I和HDL的生成及清除有主要影响。这些变化对逆向胆固醇转运的影响仍有待确定。
