Lipidomic profiling in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia: Abnormalities in glycerolipids and oxysterols
Objectives and aim
This study aimed to identify precise biomarkers and develop targeted therapeutic strategies for preventing premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) by investigating the quantitative and qualitative abnormalities in the metabolic network of lipids in these patients using an advanced lipidomics platform.
Design & Methods
The study population comprised 18 homozygous (HoFH), 18 heterozygous (HeFH) FH patients, and 20 healthy controls. Cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterol, COPs) and main lipid classes were determined using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Results were expressed as percentages of total fat matter for lipid classes and percentages of total COPs for oxysterols. The principal component analysis (PCA) was also carried out, to highlight the correlation between studied parameters and groups investigated.
Results
Patients (both HoFH and HeFH) showed lower content of free fatty acids (FFAs) and greater values of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in comparison to controls. HoFH showed lower monoacylglycerols (P<0.01) and higher free cholesterol (FC) (P<0.05) when compared to HeFH and controls. The total content of COPs ranged from 1.96 to 4.25 mg/dL, from 2.27 to 4.05 mg/dL, and from 0.79 to 4.12 mg/dL in healthy controls, HoFH and HeFH groups, respectively, with no significant differences between patients and controls. In general, the 7α-hydroxycholesterol (7α-HC) was greater than other COPs. However, no significant differences were found between the three studied groups. Moreover, an opposite trend was observed between 7α-HC and 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC). Additionally, when PCA was carried out, the first two PCs explained 92.13 % of the total variance, of which the PC1 describes 53.94 % of variance mainly correlated to TAGs, diacylglycerols (DAGs), and 7-KC. On the other hand, the PC2 was correlated primarily for FFAs, FC and esterified sterols (E-STE).
Conclusions
In conclusion, abnormal levels of TAGs, DAGs and 7-KC were associated with HeFH while HoFH was associated with the abnormal amount of E-STE.
