The lipoprotein lipase gene in combined hyperlipidemia: evidence of a protective allele depletion

Abstract: Background: Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), a key enzyme in lipid metabolism, catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG) from TG-rich lipoproteins, and serves a bridging function that enhances the cellular uptake of lipoproteins. Abnormalities in LPL function are associated with pathophysiological conditions, including familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH). Whereas two LPL susceptibility alleles were found to co-segregate in a few FCH kindred, a role for common, protective alleles remains unexplored. The LPL Se… Show more

“…In several studies, S447X polymorphism has played a protective role in CAD although in a recent study the result is different. 1 , 12 , 14 , 16 Perhaps, S447X polymorphism has affected another function in our population that increases the risk for disease and did not have any protection effect.…”

“…We could observe that as previous studies, in this study, there were associations between demographic risk factors (smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, TG> 200 mg/dl and HDL<40 mg/dl) and CAD. 2 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 15 These risk factors were due to the increase in the susceptibility to CAD. Smoking had the most influence on this disease ( smoking: P <0.001, OR=3.256, 95% CI=1.781-5.953; hypertension: P =0.025, OR=1.952, 95% CI=1.086-3.508; hyperlipidemia: P =0.004, OR=2.347, 95% CI=1.315-4.189; TG>200 mg/dl: P =0.004, OR=2.345, 95% CI=1.321-4.161; HDL<40 mg/dl: P =0.024, OR=1.917, 95% CI=1.090-3.372).…”

“…Many studies have focused on the relationship between LPL gene polymorphism and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in various populations [ 14 , 16 , 19 , 21 , 22 ]. Some studies investigated the influence of LPL gene activity on levels of plasma TG, TC, HDL-c and apolipoproteins, but the results are inconsistent [ 17 , 22 26 ]. Clee et al (2000) [ 23 ] demonstrated that decreased plasma LPL activity is associated with high TGs and low HDL phenotypes in patient samples and Ser447Ter mutation is associated with higher plasma LPL activity.…”

“…Interestingly, we noted that ANGPTL3/8 was directly correlated with LDL-C, while ANGPTL4/8 was not. This could be related to LPL-facilitated uptake of cholesterol-containing lipoprotein particles into the liver via VLDL and related receptors ( 87 , 98 – 102 ). Our data demonstrating that ANGPTL3/8 inhibited LPL-facilitated hepatocyte VLDL-C uptake might provide a possible explanation for the positive correlation of ANGPTL3/8 with LDL-C, but further mechanistic investigations along these lines will be needed.…”
