High-density lipoprotein binding to scavenger receptor-BI activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, and the risk for atherosclerosis is inversely proportional to circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. However, the mechanisms by which HDL is atheroprotective are complex and not well understood. Here we show that HDL stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in cultured endothelial cells. In contrast, eNOS is not activated by purified forms of the major HDL apolipoproteins ApoA-I and ApoA-II or by low-density l… Show more

“…Systemically, high HDL concentrations have been associated with decreased inflammatory cytokine levels and decreased systemic oxidative stress via associated antioxidant enzymes and by acting as acceptors of prooxidant lipids 13, 17, 18, 19, 20. In addition, high HDL concentrations are associated with decreased endothelial adhesion molecule expression, increased endothelial nitric oxide production, and decreased endothelial damage 14, 16, 17. Decreased HDL anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and endothelial protective capacities are associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease 32, 33, 34, 35.…”

“…High‐density lipoproteins (HDLs) have systemic anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties and limit endothelial dysfunction and damage by attenuating endothelial cell activation and adhesion molecule expression, by activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and by promoting endothelial repair 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. In critically ill patients with pneumonia or sepsis, low HDL cholesterol concentrations are associated with multiorgan dysfunction and short‐ and long‐term death 21, 22.…”

“…Interestingly, HDL binding to SR-BI increases eNOS activity. 55 To further support the proangiogenic role of HDL, previous studies have shown that HDL can promote endothelial cell proliferation. 56 In agreement with this interpretation, inhibition of eNOS via N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester administration inhibits tumor angiogenesis.…”

“…For instance, diabetic persons often have poor peripheral circulation, which leads to ischemic injury, impaired wound healing, and impaired vision, all of which involve altered endothelial cell function that relates to endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) and the generation of NO (2,21). Several studies have shown that HDL acting through its receptor, SR-BI, can stimulate eNOS to produce NO (4,16,24,36). Interestingly, both calcium-dependent and calcium-independent mechanisms have been shown to account for HDL-mediated NO generation.…”
