Previous systematic reviews presented a conflicting body of evidence in terms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family member effects upon PAD natural progression.

Independent literature search was performed up to April 1, 2022, on six databases. A total of 22 eligible studies were identified [N: 3, interventional patient studies; N: 19, animal studies]. Animal studies were appraised by the SYRCLE risk of bias tool, while human participant studies were assessed by the Newcastle Ottawa scale.

Transport of apoB-LPs though mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) is associated with apoE-carrying high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-like particle formation and apoAI induces raft-located proteins to shift to non-raft membranes by upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). To investigate apoAI's effect on transendothelial transport of apoB-LPs, MAECs and human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were treated with apoB-LPs ± apoAI. Our data demonstrated that apoAI neither altered SR-BI and ALK1 expression nor affected apoB-LP binding to MAECs. ApoAI inhibited MAEC uptake, transcellular transport, and intracellular accumulation of apoB-LPs and accelerated their resecretion in MAECs. ApoAI enhanced transendothelial apoB-LP transport-associated HDL-like particle formation, upregulated ABCA1 expression, shifted SR-BI and ALK1 to the non-raft membrane in MAECs, inhibited transcellular transport of apoB-LPs, and enhanced associated HDL-like particle formation in HCAECs. ABCA1 knockdown attenuated apoAI-induced membrane SR-BI and ALK1 relocation and diminished apoAI's effect on transendothelial apoB-LP transport and HDL-like particle formation in MAECs. This suggests that upregulation of ABCA1 expression is a mechanism, whereby apoAI provokes caveola-located receptor relocation, inhibits transendothelial apoB-LP transport, and promotes associated HDL-like particle formation.</p>","PeriodicalId":17530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Research","volume":"59 5","pages":"275-287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9847247/pdf/nihms-1817007.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9756057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
