Acute impact of apheresis on oxidized phospholipids in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia1

We measured oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) pre- and postapheresis in 18 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and with low(∼10 mg/dl; range 10–11 mg/dl), intermediate (∼50 mg/dl; range 30–61 mg/dl), or high (&g...

description We measured oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) pre- and postapheresis in 18 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and with low(∼10 mg/dl; range 10–11 mg/dl), intermediate (∼50 mg/dl; range 30–61 mg/dl), or high (>100 mg/dl; range 78–128 mg/dl) Lp(a) levels. By using enzymatic and immunoassays, the content of OxPL and Lp-PLA2 mass and activity were quantitated in lipoprotein density fractions plated in microtiter wells, as well as directly on apoB-100, Lp(a), and apoA-I immunocaptured within each fraction (i.e., OxPL/apoB and Lp-PLA2/apoB). In whole fractions, OxPL was primarily detected in the Lp(a)-containing fractions, whereas Lp-PLA2 was primarily detected in the small, dense LDL and light Lp(a) range. In lipoprotein capture assays, OxPL/apoB and OxPL/apo(a) increased proportionally with increasing Lp(a) levels. Lp-PLA2/apoB and Lp-PLA2/apoA-I levels were highest in the low Lp(a) group but decreased proportionally with increasing Lp(a) levels. Lp-PLA2/apo(a) was lowest in patients with low Lp(a) levels and increased proportionally with increasing Lp(a) levels. Apheresis significantly reduced levels of OxPL and Lp-PLA2 on apoB and Lp(a) (50–75%), particularly in patients with intermediate and high Lp(a) levels. In contrast, apheresis increased Lp-PLA2-specific activity (activity/mass ratio) in buoyant LDL fractions. The impact of apheresis on Lp(a), OxPL, and Lp-PLA2 provides insights into its therapeutic benefits beyond lowering apoB-containing lipoproteins.
