          Abstract

          FUNDAMENTO: Baixos níveis de HDL-c são importantes preditores de doença coronariana, a primeira causa de morte no mundo todo. Muitos fatores afetam os níveis de HDL-c, tais como os polimorfismos de genes que codificam proteínas-chave para a via de transporte reverso de colesterol. OBJETIVO: Investigar a influência de sete polimorfismos dos genes CETP, APOA1, ABCA1 e SCARB1 genes nos níveis de HDL-c em uma população da região sul do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Os polimorfismos foram investigados em uma amostra de 500 indivíduos de descendência europeia, mas os níveis de HDL-c de somente 360 indivíduos foram ajustados para cofatores usando regressão linear múltipla no estudo de associação. A amostra foi dividida em tercis de acordo com os níveis ajustados de HDL-c e frequências de alelos e haplótipos foram comparadas entre o 1º e o 3º tercis dos níveis ajustados de HDL-c. RESULTADOS: Quando as combinações dos alelos de risco foram testadas, a frequência de combinações alélicas em três genes (haplótipo 1 do gene APOA1, variante 2S do gene SCARB1, e alelo B1 do gene CETP) foi significantemente mais alta no tercil inferior dos níveis ajustados de HDL-c (28,3%) do que no tercil superior (14,9%; p=0,008), o que indica que a presença dessas variantes aumentou 2,26 vezes a chance de ter níveis de HDL-C < 39,8 mg/dl. CONCLUSÃO: Espera-se que esses marcadores, quando estudados separadamente, tenham uma pequena influência na característica que está sendo analisada, mas uma influência maior foi detectada quando os marcadores foram estudados em combinação. Em uma população da região sul do Brasil, nossos dados mostraram uma influência significante das combinações das variantes dos genes APOA1, SCARB1 e CETP nos níveis de HDL-c.

          BACKGROUND: Low HDL-C levels are important predictors of coronary disease, the first cause of death worldwide. Many factors affect HDL-C levels, such as polymorphisms of genes encoding for key proteins of the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of seven polymorphisms of the CETP, APOA1, ABCA1 and SCARB1 genes on HDL-C levels in a southern Brazilian population. METHODS: The polymorphisms were investigated in a sample of 500 individuals of European descent, but HDL-C levels from only 360 individuals were adjusted for cofactors using multiple linear regressions in the association study. The sample was divided in tertiles according to adjusted HDL-C levels, and allele and haplotype frequencies were compared between the 1st and 3rd tertiles of adjusted HDL-C levels. RESULTS: When combinations of risk alleles were tested, the frequency of allele combinations in three genes (haplotype 1 of APOA1 gene, variant 2S of SCARB1 gene, and allele B1 of CETP gene) was significantly higher in the lower tertile of adjusted HDL-C (28.3%) than in the upper tertile (14.9%; p=0.008), which indicated that the presence of these variants increased 2.26 times the chances of having HDL-C levels below 39.8 mg/dl. CONCLUSION: These markers, when studied separately, are expected to have a small influence on the characteristic under analysis, but greater influence was detected when the markers were studied in combination. In a population of southern Brazilians, our data showed a significant influence of variant combinations of APOA1, SCARB1 and CETP genes on HDL-c levels.

            Identification of Scavenger Receptor SR-BI as a High Density Lipoprotein Receptor

            High density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) are cholesterol transport particles whose plasma concentrations are directly (LDL) and inversely (HDL) correlated with risk for atherosclerosis. LDL catabolism involves cellular uptake and degradation of the entire particle by a well-characterized receptor. HDL, in contrast, selectively delivers its cholesterol, but not protein, to cells by unknown receptors. Here it is shown that the class B scavenger receptor SR-BI is an HDL receptor. SR-BI binds HDL with high affinity, is expressed primarily in liver and nonplacental steroidogenic tissues, and mediates selective cholesterol uptake by a mechanism distinct from the classic LDL receptor pathway.

              Common genetic variation in ABCA1 is associated with altered lipoprotein levels and a modified risk for coronary artery disease.

              Low plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We recently identified the ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) as the major gene underlying the HDL deficiency associated with reduced cholesterol efflux. Mutations within the ABCA1 gene are associated with decreased HDL-C, increased triglycerides, and an increased risk of CAD. However, the extent to which common variation within this gene influences plasma lipid levels and CAD in the general population is unknown. We examined the phenotypic effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of ABCA1. The R219K variant has a carrier frequency of 46% in Europeans. Carriers have a reduced severity of CAD, decreased focal (minimum obstruction diameter 1.81+/-0.35 versus 1.73+/-0.35 mm in noncarriers, P:=0.001) and diffuse atherosclerosis (mean segment diameter 2.77+/-0.37 versus 2.70+/-0.37 mm, P:=0.005), and fewer coronary events (50% versus 59%, P:=0.02). Atherosclerosis progresses more slowly in carriers of R219K than in noncarriers. Carriers have decreased triglyceride levels (1.42+/-0.49 versus 1.84+/-0.77 mmol/L, P:=0.001) and a trend toward increased HDL-C (0.91+/-0.22 versus 0.88+/-0.20 mmol/L, P:=0.12). Other single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region had milder effects on plasma lipids and atherosclerosis. These data suggest that common variation in ABCA1 significantly influences plasma lipid levels and the severity of CAD.
