Cholesterol efflux from Fu5AH hepatoma cells induced by plasma of subjects with or without coronary artery disease and non-insulin-dependent diabetes: Importance of LpA-I:A-II particles and phospholipid transfer protein
No full textWe measured the capacity of human plasma to induce cholesterol efflux from Fu5AH rat hepatoma cells in four groups of men with or without non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Plasma from men with both NIDDM and CAD (n = 47) had the lowest efflux capacity (17.3 ± 3.6%) whereas healthy control subjects with neither diabetes nor CAD (n = 25) had the highest capacity (19.8 ± 3.4%). The groups with CAD but no diabetes (n = 44) and with NIDDM but no CAD (n = 35) had intermediate efflux values (18.5 ± 3.8 and 18.5 ± 3.9%, respectively). In a 2 x 2 factorial ANOVA, the differences were significant with respect to the presence of CAD (P = 0.038) and NIDDM (P = 0.041), with no interaction between the factors. The concentration of HDL particles containing apolipoprotein (apo) A-I but no apo A-II (LpA-I) was not related to efflux capacity in univariate or multivariate analyses. A multivariate regression analysis showed that when controlled for the presence of NIDDM and CAD, the concentration of particles containing both apo A-I and apo A-II (LpA-I:A-II) and plasma phospholipid transfer protein activity were both positively, independently, and significantly (P < 0.001) related to cholesterol efflux capacity
