Atherosclerotic dyslipidemia revealed by plasma lipidomics on ApoE-/- mice fed a high-fat diet

Atherosclerosis

Abstract

The pathological process of atherosclerosis is closely related to lipid accumulation at arterial wall caused by lipoproteins transporting lipids through blood. In this study, we investigate the lipid composition in the plasma of apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE-/-) mice fed a high-fat diet to reveal atherosclerosis-induced dyslipidemia. ApoE-/- and corresponding wild-type C57BL/6J mice were used as the pathology model and control, respectively, and were fed a high-fat or normal diet. Lipidomics approach based on chromatography coupled with time of fight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) was applied to profile lipid species. Discrimination analysis revealed that 1 lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and 6 phosphatidylcholines (PCs) were identified to distinguish C57BL/6J mice fed a normal and high-fat diet. PC (16:0/18:1) and PC (18:0/18:1) were also extracted when the comparison was done between ApoE-/- and C57BL/6J mice, both fed a high-fat diet. Besides the 2 PCs, the other 4 PCs, 1 sphinganine (SP) and 3 sphingomyelins (SMs) were identified in the second comparing case, among which PC (16:0/16:0), PC (18:0/16:1), SM (d16:0/28:5), SM (d18:1/24:1) and SM (d18:1/16:0) showed obviously positive correlations with the plasma levels of T...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

ApoE Phenotypes

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in fat metabolism and associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Here is the latest research on APOE phenotypes.
