PON1, a new biomarker of cardiovascular disease, is low in patients with systemic vasculitis.
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism 2007 December
OBJECTIVES: Because systemic vasculitis (SV) predisposes to atherosclerosis, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) prevents atherosclerosis by "reverse cholesterol transport" and by inhibiting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation thanks to apolipoprotein A-I (Apo-AI) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1), we assessed whether LDL oxidation was increased in SV and associated with less PON1 activity.
METHODS: The sera of 33 patients with active SV (ASV), 32 in full remission of SV (RSV) and 20 healthy subjects (HS) were analyzed for C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity-CRP, lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, PON1 activity, LDL-immune complexes (LDL-IC), and auto-antibodies to oxidized-LDL (ox-LDL), and anticardiolipin antibodies.
RESULTS: CRP was higher in ASV than RSV and HS, and negatively correlated with HDL-cholesterol and Apo-AI. Autoantibodies to ox-LDL and highly oxidized malondialdehyde-LDL were higher in RSV than ASV and HS (P<0.05). LDL-IC titers were higher in ASV than RSV and HS (P<0.05). PON1 activity was lower in ASV and RSV than HS (P=0.02). A trend toward a negative correlation between basal PON1 activity and anti-MDA-LDL antibodies (P=0.06) was observed.
CONCLUSION: Inflammatory markers in SV were associated with a modified lipoprotein profile, which could lower PON1 activity and contribute to increased ox-LDL titers and accelerated atherosclerosis development.
