Effect of Recombinant ApoA-I Milano on Coronary Atherosclerosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes

Abstract: Italy called Limone sul Garda live approximately 40 carriers with a naturally occurring variant of apolipoprotein A-I known as ApoA-I Milano. Individuals with ApoA-I Milano are characterized by very low levels of highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (10-30 mg/dL [0.25-0.78 mmol/L]), apparent longevity, 1 and much less atherosclerosis than expected for their HDL-C levels. 2 The ApoA-I Milano protein differs from native ApoA-I in that cysteine is substituted at position 173 for arginine allowing disulfide… Show more

“…7,222,223 In a phase 2 study of 57 patients, five weekly ETC-215 infusions two weeks after ACS caused significant regression of IVUSassessed total atheroma volume in coronary arteries compared to baseline. 233 Infusion of MDCO-216 into cynomolgous monkeys increased the capacity of plasma to induce cholesterol efflux via the ABCA1 pathway much more prominently than via the ABCG1 and SR-BI pathways, probably by displacing endogenous wild-type apoA-I from endogenous HDL and thereby enhancing the formation of prebeta1-HDL. 234 A similar effect was seen ex vivo, when MDCO-216 was mixed with human plasma.…”

“…Apo A-I is responsible for many of the antiatherogenic properties of HDL cholesterol, and recombinant forms are showing promise. In a doubleblind, placebo-controlled study, Apo A-I Milano/ phospholipid complex (ETC-216) administered intravenously produced significant regression of coronary atherosclerosis as measured by intravascular ultrasound (23). Apo A-I has been advocated as a strong predictor of cardiovascular events, with potential advantages over HDL cholesterol (17).…”

“…Bien qu'il y ait quelques similitudes entre la sténose aortique et l'athérosclé-rose, leur pathophysiologie et leur traitement diffèrent de manière significative. Deux études cliniques ont suggéré que des infusions de HDL (high-density lipoprotein) reconstituées pourraient induire une amélioration rapide de l'athérosclérose coronaire [3,4]. Chez l'animal, l'apolipoprotéine AI (ApoA-I) Milano complexée à des phospholipides mobilise rapidement le cholestérol et réduit la plaque athérosclé-rotique [5].…”
