HDL action on the vascular wall: is the answer NO?

Abstract: Circulating levels of HDL cholesterol are inversely related to the risk of atherosclerosis, and therapeutic increases in HDL reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events. A new study (see the related article beginning on page 569) shows that HDL-associated lysophospholipids stimulate the production of the potent antiatherogenic signaling molecule NO by the vascular endothelium.

“…32 Here, we show that HDL modified with HOCl concentrations that are easily achieved under acute inflammation 13,33 caused a marked, sustained, concentration-dependent, and timedependent decrease of NO production in stimulated HUVECs as measured by the conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline ( Figure 1A to 1C). To confirm the functional significance of these findings, we assessed the effects of HOCl-HDL on the production of cGMP, a second messenger formed via activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by NO.…”

“…The kinases involved include Akt (also known as protein kinase B), protein kinase A, protein kinase C, and calmodulin-dependent kinase II. 21 Previous reports showed that HDL stimulates the phosphorylation of eNOS at serine-1179, whereas HDL has no effect on the phosphorylation of threonine-497. HDL-induced phosphorylation of eNOS is mediated by Akt kinase, because the Effect of Ang II on HDL-mediated eNOS activation in HUVECs.…”

“…We observed that in the aortas of theTie2 hABCA1 transgenic mice on a normal chow diet, but not the HFHC diet, there was increased expression of eNOS ( Fig. 6B ), which is known to have several anti-atherogenic effects ( 49,51 ). Caspase 6, Ripk1 [receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serinethreoninekinase 1] and Tnfsf10 [tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 10] were found to be downregulated in the Tie2 hABCA1 transgenic mice ( Fig.…”

“…Besides the effect of HDL in promoting cholesterol effl ux, the increased HDL in the transgenic mice could also have reduced atherosclerosis by some of the other benefi cial properties of HDL ( 48 ). For example, HDL has been shown to reduce infl ammation by suppressing activation of NF-kappa B and also by decreasing the expression of adhesion proteins (48)(49)(50). We observed that in the aortas of theTie2 hABCA1 transgenic mice on a normal chow diet, but not the HFHC diet, there was increased expression of eNOS ( Fig.…”
