Serum Opacity Factor Enhances HDL‐Mediated Cholesterol Efflux, Esterification and Anti Inflammatory Effects

Abstract: Serum opacity factor (SOF) is a streptococcal protein that disrupts the structure of human high density lipoproteins (HDL) releasing lipid-free apo A-I while forming a large cholesteryl ester-rich particle and a small neo HDL. Given its low cholesterol and high phospholipid contents, we tested the hypotheses that neo HDL is a better substrate for cholesterol esterification via lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), better than HDL as an acceptor of THP-1 macrophage cholesterol efflux, and improves reduct… Show more

“…To activate cells and elicit the macrophage phenotype, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) was added to the cell media to a final concentration of 100ng/mL for 72 h. Cholesterol efflux was assayed as described previously. 20, 21 In brief, cells were seeded and grown for 24 h, then labeled in serum-containing medium with [1α,2α(n)- 3 H]cholesterol (specific radioactivity 1.81TBq/mmol, final radioactivity 74 KBq/mL) for 48 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO 2 incubator at which time they were ~ 80% confluent. After labeling, cells were washed twice with Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ free PBS to remove excess label, and incubated for an additional 18 h in serum-free medium (SFM) to ensure equilibration of labeled cholesterol into all intracellular pools.…”

“…Detailed metabolic studies demonstrate that multiple steps in reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages are inhibited in infl amed mice ( 21,22 ). Furthermore, proteins cotransported with HDL in plasma, such as paraoxonase and clusterin, have been proposed to have antioxidant and anti-infl ammatory properties, and their levels change in response to infl ammation ( 15,(24)(25)(26)(27). Loss of sterol effl ux capacity and of anti-infl ammatory and/or antioxidant proteins, perhaps in concert with gain of pro-infl ammatory proteins, may thus be key factors in generating dysfunctional HDL ( 7 ).…”
