Lipoprotein lipase activity is decreased in a large cohort of patients with coronary artery disease and is associated with changes in lipids and lipoproteins

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is crucial in the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG) in TG-rich lipoproteins in the formation of HDL particles. As both these lipoproteins play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease, we sought to assess the relationship between post-heparin LPL (PH-LPL) activity and lipids and lipoproteins in a large, well-defined cohort of Dutch males with coronary artery disease (CAD). These subjects were drawn from the REGRESS study, totaled 730 in number and were evaluated against 75 healthy, normolipidemic male controls. Fasting mean PH-LPL activity in the CAD subjects was 108 46 mU/ml, compared to 138 44 mU/ml in controls (P < 0.0001). When these patients were divided into activity quartiles, those in the lowest versus the highest quartile had higher levels of TG (P < 0.001), VLDLc and VLDL-TG (P = 0.001). Conversely, levels of TC, LDL, and HDLc were lower in these patients (P = 0.001, P = 0.02, and P = 0.001, respectively). Also, in this cohort PH-LPL relationships with lipids and lipoproteins were not altered by apoE genotypes. The frequency of common mutations in the LPL gene associated with partial LPL deficiency (N291S and D9N carriers) in the lowest quartile for LPL activity was more than double the frequency in the highest quartile (12.0% vs. 5.0%; P = 0.006). By contrast, the frequency of the S447X LPL variant rose from 11.5% in the lowest to 18.3% (P = 0.006) in the highest quartile. This study, in a large cohort of CAD patients, has shown that PH-LPL activity is decreased (22%; P = 0.001) when compared to controls; that the D9N and N291S, and S447X LPL variants are genetic determinants, respectively, in CAD patients of low and high LPL PH-LPL activities; and that PH-LPL activity is strongly associated with changes in lipids and lipoproteins.

The predisposition to type 1 diabetes linked to the human leukocyte antigen complex includes at least one non-class II gene

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex, encompassing 3.5 Mb of DNA from the centromeric HLA-DPB2 locus to the telomeric HLA-F locus on chromosome 6p21, encodes a major part of the genetic predisposition to develop type 1 diabetes, designated "IDDM1." A primary role for allelic variation of the class II HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, and HLA-DQB1 loci has been established. However, studies of animals and humans have indicated that other, unmapped, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked genes are participating in IDDM1. The strong linkage disequilibrium between genes in this complex makes mapping a difficult task. In the present paper, we report on the approach we have devised to circumvent the confounding effects of disequilibrium between class II alleles and alleles at other MHC loci. We have scanned 12 Mb of the MHC and flanking chromosome regions with microsatellite polymorphisms and analyzed the transmission of these marker alleles to diabetic probands from parents who were homozygous for the alleles of the HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, and HLA-DQB1 genes. Our analysis, using three independent family sets, suggests the presence of an additional type I diabetes gene (or genes). This approach is useful for the analysis of other loci linked to common diseases, to verify if a candidate polymorphism can explain all of the association of a region or if the association is due to two or more loci in linkage disequilibrium with each other.

Solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatographic method for the determination and pharmacokinetic studies of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat serum after oral administration of Si-Wu decoction

A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with solid-phase extraction (SPE) to simultaneously determine albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat serum was described. Serum samples were pretreated with solid-phase extraction using Extract-Clean cartridges, and the extracts were analyzed by HPLC on a reversed-phase C(18) column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.03% formic acid (17:83 (v/v)) with ultraviolet detection at 230 nm. Pentoxifylline was used as the internal standard (IS). The linear ranges of the calibration curves were 29-1450 ng/ml for albiflorin and 10-2000 ng/ml for paeoniflorin. The intra- and inter-day precisions (R.S.D.) were 相似文献   

Identification of the role of a cysteine-rich region of PC6B by determining the enzymatic characteristics of its mutants

In the proprotein convertases family, mouse PC6B (mPC6B) has a very large cysteine-rich region (CRR), consisting of 22 tandem cysteine-rich (Cys-rich) repeated segments. The role of this region remains elusive. In this report, to get insight on the possible role of the CRR, we constructed four truncated mPC6B mutant genes with 0, 5, 11, and 22 Cys-rich repeated segments remaining; using the baculovirus-expression system and a simple purification method, we obtained four enzyme mutants of mPC6B. By determining their optimal pH and calcium ion concentration for enzymatic activity and their thermal stability, we found that CRR did not affect pH optimum and Ca²⁺ optimum compared with the p-domain. However, CRR acted as a stabilizing domain in addition to the p-domain. By kinetic analyses of four mutants, we found that the long Cys-rich repeats in the native form of mPC6B reduced its V _max. These facts suggest that CRR acts as an important part of functional domain.
