Proteomic diversity of high density lipoproteins: our emerging understanding of its importance in lipid transport and beyond

TLDR
Key challenges facing the field are highlighted, particularly the need to identify and define the function of HDL subspecies to better inform attempts to pharmacologically manipulate HDL for the benefit of cardiovascular disease and possibly other maladies.

HDL and Reverse Cholesterol Transport.

TL;DR: On balance, the evidence still argues for further research to better understand how HDL functionality contributes to RCT to develop prevention and treatment strategies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Quantitative variability of 342 plasma proteins in a human twin population

TL;DR: The highly accurate and reproducible SWATH mass spectrometry technique is applied to quantify 1,904 peptides defining 342 unique plasma proteins in 232 plasma samples collected longitudinally from pairs of monozygotic and dizygotic twins and identified 13 cis‐SNPs significantly influencing the level of specific plasma proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Density Lipoprotein Vascular Protective Effects, Dysfunction, and Potential as Therapeutic Target

TL;DR: Although HDL is a promising marker and potential therapeutic target based on its epidemiological data and the effects of healthy HDL in vitro in endothelial cells and macrophages, it remains still uncertain whether or not HDL cholesterol-raising drugs will improve outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Density Lipoproteins: Nature’s Multifunctional Nanoparticles

TL;DR: Clinical pharmacokinetics and safety of reconstituted HDL products, comparison of HDL with inorganic and other organic nanoparticles, and intrinsic targeting properties to different recipient cells are summarized.

Electrospray ionization for mass spectrometry of large biomolecules

TL;DR: Spectra have been obtained for biopolymers including oligonucleotides and proteins, the latter having molecular weights up to 130,000, with as yet no evidence of an upper limit.

Niacin in Patients with Low HDL Cholesterol Levels Receiving Intensive Statin Therapy

TL;DR: Among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and LDL cholesterol levels of less than 70 mg per deciliter, there was no incremental clinical benefit from the addition of niacin to statin therapy during a 36-month follow-up period, despite significant improvements in HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol efflux capacity, high-density lipoprotein function, and atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Cholesterol efflux capacity from macrophages, a metric of HDL function, has a strong inverse association with both carotid intima-media thickness and the likelihood of angiographic coronary artery disease, independently of the HDL cholesterol level.
