Dalcetrapib and anacetrapib increase apolipoprotein E-containing HDL in rabbits and humans

The large HDL particles generated by administration of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors (CETPi) remain poorly characterized, despite their potential importance in the routing of cholesterol to the liver for excretion, which is the last step of the reverse cholesterol transport. Thus, th...

description The large HDL particles generated by administration of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors (CETPi) remain poorly characterized, despite their potential importance in the routing of cholesterol to the liver for excretion, which is the last step of the reverse cholesterol transport. Thus, the effects of the CETPi dalcetrapib and anacetrapib on HDL particle composition were studied in rabbits and humans. The association of rabbit HDL to the LDL receptor (LDLr) in vitro was also evaluated. New Zealand White rabbits receiving atorvastatin were treated with dalcetrapib or anacetrapib. A subset of patients from the dal-PLAQUE-2 study treated with dalcetrapib or placebo were also studied. In rabbits, dalcetrapib and anacetrapib increased HDL-C by more than 58% (P < 0.01) and in turn raised large apo E-containing HDL by 66% (P < 0.001) and 59% (P < 0.01), respectively. Additionally, HDL from CETPi-treated rabbits competed with human LDL for binding to the LDLr on HepG2 cells more than control HDL (P < 0.01). In humans, dalcetrapib increased concentrations of large HDL particles (+69%, P < 0.001) and apo B-depleted plasma apo E (+24%, P < 0.001), leading to the formation of apo E-containing HDL (+47%, P < 0.001) devoid of apo A-I. Overall, in rabbits and humans, CETPi increased large apo E-containing HDL particle concentration, which can interact with hepatic LDLr. The catabolism of these particles may depend on an adequate level of LDLr to contribute to reverse cholesterol transport.
