High-density lipoproteins (HDL) contain the anti-oxidative enzyme, paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), which is important for atheroprotection. The acute phase reactant, serum amyloid A (SAA), an HDL-associated apolipoprotein, may impair PON-1 activity, whereas SAA and PON-1 are reciprocally regulated in response to acute inflammatory stimuli. The relationship of serum PON-1 activity with SAA during low-grade chronic inflammation is unclear. Here we tested the extent to which low serum PON-1 activity is related to high SAA levels in subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS).
In 19 nondiabetic subjects with MetS and 67 subjects without MetS, serum PON-1, assayed as its arylesterase activity, and SAA were measured together with plasma lipids and lipoproteins, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment (HOMA(ir)).
PON-1 activity was decreased (p=0.023), whereas SAA levels were increased (p=0.042) in MetS subjects, coinciding with higher hs-CRP levels and HOMA(ir) values. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age- and gender-adjusted PON-1 activity was related inversely to SAA (β=-0.256, p=0.020) after adjustment for MetS, or alternatively for hs-CRP and HOMA(ir) (β=-0.271, p=0.049).
Decreased serum PON-1 activity in MetS may in part be attributable to higher SAA levels. We suggest that higher SAA levels contribute to impaired HDL anti-oxidative function in MetS via an effect on PON-1 regulation.
高密度脂蛋白(HDL)含有抗氧化酶,对氧磷酶-1(PON-1),这对于动脉粥样硬化保护很重要。急性期反应物血清淀粉样蛋白 A(SAA)是一种与 HDL 相关的载脂蛋白,可能会损害 PON-1 活性,而 SAA 和 PON-1 则在对急性炎症刺激的反应中相互调节。在低度慢性炎症期间,血清 PON-1 活性与 SAA 的关系尚不清楚。在这里,我们检测了在有和没有代谢综合征(MetS)的受试者中,低血清 PON-1 活性与高 SAA 水平之间的关系程度。
在 19 名非糖尿病 MetS 患者和 67 名非 MetS 患者中,同时测量血清 PON-1(作为其芳基酯酶活性进行测定)和 SAA,以及血浆脂质和脂蛋白、高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)和胰岛素抵抗(稳态模型评估(HOMA(ir))。
MetS 患者的 PON-1 活性降低(p=0.023),SAA 水平升高(p=0.042),同时 hs-CRP 水平和 HOMA(ir) 值升高。多元线性回归分析表明,在调整 MetS 或 hs-CRP 和 HOMA(ir) 后,年龄和性别调整后的 PON-1 活性与 SAA 呈负相关(β=-0.256,p=0.020)。
MetS 中血清 PON-1 活性降低可能部分归因于 SAA 水平升高。我们认为,较高的 SAA 水平通过对 PON-1 调节的影响,导致 MetS 中 HDL 抗氧化功能受损。
