Levels of prebeta-1 high-density lipoprotein are elevated in 3 phenotypes of dyslipidemia.
Journal of Clinical Lipidology 2018 January
BACKGROUND: Prebeta-1 high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a small subspecies of HDL that functions as the HDL quantum particle and is the principal acceptor of cholesterol effluxed from macrophages through the ATP-binding cassette transporter, ABCA1. High levels of prebeta-1 HDL are associated with increased risk of structural coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare prebeta-1 HDL levels in normal subjects and in 3 phenotypes of dyslipidemia.
METHODS: We studied 2435 individuals (1388 women; 1047 men). Of these, 2018 were not taking lipid-lowering medication when enrolled: 392 were normolipidemic controls; 713 had elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; 623 had combined hyperlipidemia; and 290 had hypertriglyceridemia.
RESULTS: Relative to controls, prebeta-1 HDL levels were increased in all 3 dyslipidemic phenotypes, particularly the combined and hypertriglyceridemia groups. This increase possibly reflects increased acceptor capacity of apolipoprotein B-100 containing lipoproteins for entropically driven transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL via cholesteryl ester transfer protein. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the main predictor variables significantly associated with prebeta-1 HDL levels were apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-1) (β = 0.500), triglyceride (β = 0.285), HDL-C (β = -0.237), and age (β = -0.169). There was an interaction between apoA-1 and sex (female vs male; β = -0.110). Among postmenopausal women, estrogenized subjects had a similar level of prebeta-1 HDL compared to those not receiving estrogens.
CONCLUSIONS: Prebeta-1 HDL levels are elevated in the 3 most common types of hyperlipidemia and are most strongly influenced by the levels of apoA-1, triglyceride, and HDL-C.
