title: Diminished rate of mouse peritoneal macrophage cholesterol efflux is not related to the degree of HDL glycation in diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The efflux of (14)C-cholesterol from mouse peritoneal macrophages mediated by in vivo and in vitro glycation of intact HDL(3) and by HDL(3) apolipoproteins was investigated. Cholesterol-laden cells were incubated a long time with HDL(3) from control subjects (C), poorly controlled diabetes mellitus patients (D) and with HDL C submitted to in vitro glycation (G), as well as with all their respectively isolated apolipoproteins. A diminished cholesterol efflux rate occurred in incubations with intact HDL(3) D but not with intact HDL(3)G or with apoHDL(3)C, G or D. The specific binding of (125)I-HDL(3)G to the cell receptor, obtained upon incubation in the absence and in the presence of excess unlabelled HDL(3), was lower than the control. The role of apoE secretion by cholesterol-laden macrophages on cholesterol efflux was analyzed by incubating apoE knockout and control mice macrophages with HDL C or HDL G: a lower cholesterol efflux was observed from apoE knockout macrophages but glycation of HDL(3) did not influence this process either. The diminished capacity to remove cholesterol by the HDL drawn from diabetic subjects must be attributed to other modifications of the lipoproteins, except for non enzymatic glycation. Thus, events that impair the cell cholesterol removal in diabetes mellitus are multifaceted.
