In mice, 4F, an apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptide that restores HDL function, prevents diabetes-induced atherosclerosis. We sought to determine whether HDL function is impaired in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients and whether 4F treatment improves HDL function in T2D patient plasma in vitro.
HDL anti-inflammatory function was determined in 93 T2D patients and 31 control subjects as the ability of test HDLs to inhibit LDL-induced monocyte chemotactic activity in human aortic endothelial cell monolayers. The HDL antioxidant properties were measured using a cell-free assay that uses dichlorofluorescein diacetate. Oxidized fatty acids in HDLs were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In subgroups of patients and control subjects, the HDL inflammatory index was repeated after incubation with L-4F.
The HDL inflammatory index was 1.42 ± 0.29 in T2D patients and 0.70 ± 0.19 in control subjects (P < 0.001). The cell-free assay was impaired in T2D patients compared with control subjects (2.03 ± 1.35 vs. 1.60 ± 0.80, P < 0.05), and also HDL intrinsic oxidation (cell-free assay without LDL) was higher in T2D patients (1,708 ± 739 vs. 1,233 ± 601 relative fluorescence units, P < 0.001). All measured oxidized fatty acids were significantly higher in the HDLs of T2D patients. There was a significant correlation between the cell-free assay values and the content of oxidized fatty acids in HDL fractions. L-4F treatment restored the HDL inflammatory index in diabetic plasma samples (from 1.26 ± 0.17 to 0.71 ± 0.11, P < 0.001) and marginally affected it in healthy subjects (from 0.81 ± 0.16 to 0.66 ± 0.10, P < 0.05).
In patients with T2D, the content of oxidized fatty acids is increased and the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of HDLs are impaired.
在小鼠中,载脂蛋白 A-I 模拟肽 4F 可恢复高密度脂蛋白(HDL)功能,预防糖尿病引起的动脉粥样硬化。我们旨在确定 2 型糖尿病(T2D)患者的 HDL 功能是否受损,以及 4F 治疗是否可改善 T2D 患者体外血浆中 HDL 的功能。
在 93 名 T2D 患者和 31 名对照者中,通过测试 HDL 抑制人主动脉内皮细胞单层中 LDL 诱导的单核细胞趋化活性的能力,来确定 HDL 的抗炎功能。使用不含 LDL 的细胞游离测定法测量 HDL 的抗氧化特性,该测定法使用二氯荧光素二乙酸盐。通过液相色谱-串联质谱法测量 HDL 中的氧化脂肪酸。在患者和对照者亚组中,在孵育 L-4F 后重复测定 HDL 炎症指数。
T2D 患者的 HDL 炎症指数为 1.42±0.29,而对照组为 0.70±0.19(P<0.001)。与对照组相比,T2D 患者的细胞游离测定法受损(2.03±1.35 对 1.60±0.80,P<0.05),并且 HDL 内在氧化(无 LDL 的细胞游离测定法)也较高(1708±739 对 1233±601 相对荧光单位,P<0.001)。T2D 患者的所有测量氧化脂肪酸均明显升高。细胞游离测定值与 HDL 各部分中氧化脂肪酸的含量之间存在显著相关性。L-4F 治疗可恢复糖尿病血浆样本中的 HDL 炎症指数(从 1.26±0.17 降至 0.71±0.11,P<0.001),并轻微影响健康受试者(从 0.81±0.16 降至 0.66±0.10,P<0.05)。
在 T2D 患者中,氧化脂肪酸的含量增加,HDL 的抗炎和抗氧化活性受损。
