Mutations in APOA-I and ABCA1 in Norwegians with low levels of HDL cholesterol.
Clin Chim Acta. 2010 Dec 14;411(23-24):2019-23. Epub 2010 Aug 25., [PMID:20800056]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have shown that low levels of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), but it appears that genetic forms of low HDL cholesterol levels, as opposed to lifestyle-induced low levels of HDL cholesterol, do not result in increased risk of IHD. Therefore, the etiology of reduced levels of plasma HDL cholesterol may represent a factor that should be considered in risk stratification with respect to primary prevention. Genes encoding proteins involved in HDL metabolism, such as the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I genes, are candidate genes for harboring mutations that lead to low HDL cholesterol levels. METHODS: The ABCA1 and apoA-I genes in 56 Norwegian patients, with a mean HDL cholesterol level of 0.53 (+/-0.15) mmol/l, were subjected to DNA sequencing. RESULTS: Several mutations were identified in the ABCA1 gene, and two mutations were identified in the apoA-I gene. A total of 18 patients (32%) were carriers of mutations considered to be pathogenic. Their mean HDL cholesterol level was 0.45 (+/-0.15) mmol/l compared to 0.57 (+/-0.14) mmol/l in noncarriers (p<0.005). CONCLUSION: Mutations in the genes encoding ABCA1 and apoA-I are common in Norwegians, with a markedly decreased HDL cholesterol level.

ABCA1 mutants reveal an interdependency between lipid export function, apoA-I binding activity, and Janus kinase 2 activation.
J Lipid Res. 2009 Feb;50(2):285-92. Epub 2008 Sep 5., [PMID:18776170]

Abstract [show]
ABCA1 exports cholesterol and phospholipids from cells by a multistep pathway that involves forming cell surface lipid domains, solubilizing these lipids by apolipoproteins, binding of apolipoproteins to ABCA1, and activating signaling processes. Here we used a mutational analysis approach to evaluate the relationship between these events. We prepared seven naturally occurring mutants and one artificial missense mutant of ABCA1 with varying degrees of impaired function, expressed them to similar levels as wild-type ABCA1 on the cell surface of BHK cells, and measured ABCA1-dependent lipid export, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) binding, and signaling activities. Linear regression analyses showed that cholesterol and phospholipid efflux and cellular apoA-I binding correlated significantly with the ability of ABCA1 to form cell surface lipid domains. Lipid export and cellular apoA-I binding activities and formation of lipid domains also correlated with the amount of apoA-I that could be cross-linked to ABCA1. Moreover, each of these lipid export and apoA-I binding activities correlated with apoA-I-induced Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) activation. Thus, these missense mutations in ABCA1 impair lipid export, apoA-I binding, and apoA-I-stimulated JAK2 activities to similar extents, indicating that these processes are highly interactive components of a pathway that functions to export lipids from cells.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2007 May;27(5):1139-45. Epub 2007 Feb 15., [PMID:17303779]

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVE: We have used a multitiered approach to identify genetic and cellular contributors to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency in 124 human subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS: We resequenced 4 candidate genes for HDL regulation and identified several functional nonsynonymous mutations including 2 in apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1), 4 in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), 1 in phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), and 7 in the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA1, leaving 88% (110/124) of HDL deficient subjects without a genetic diagnosis. Cholesterol efflux assays performed using cholesterol-loaded monocyte-derived macrophages from the 124 low HDL subjects and 48 control subjects revealed that 33% (41/124) of low HDL subjects had low efflux, despite the fact that the majority of these subjects (34/41) were not carriers of dysfunctional ABCA1 alleles. In contrast, only 2% of control subjects presented with low efflux (1/48). In 3 families without ABCA1 mutations, efflux defects were found to cosegregate with low HDL. CONCLUSIONS: Efflux defects are frequent in low HDL syndromes, but the majority of HDL deficient subjects with cellular cholesterol efflux defects do not harbor ABCA1 mutations, suggesting that novel pathways contribute to this phenotype.

Int J Cardiol. 2007 Jan 31;115(1):7-13. Epub 2006 Jun 23., [PMID:16806540]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) is a trans-membrane protein responsible for the efflux of cholesterol and phospholipids across the cell membrane, an essential step in the reverse cholesterol transport system. This study investigates the effect of five non-synonymous SNPs of ABCA1 gene on plasma HDL-C levels in Pakistani individuals free of ischemic heart disease and stroke. METHODS: Five non-synonymous SNPs were selected after sequencing ABCA1 gene in patients of Hypoalphalipoproteinemia. The presence of these SNPs was then checked in 200 individuals by using PCR-RFLP. Plasma glucose and lipid fractions were measured in fasting state. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethical Review Committee, Aga Khan University and informed consent was obtained from all subjects. RESULTS: LL genotype of V825L polymorphism was associated with decreased levels of HDL-C [-0.17 (-0.32 to -0.19); P=0.02] and P774 allele showed a significant increase in HDL-C levels as compared to T774 allele [-0.15 (-0.18 to -0.02); P=0.01]. R219K, A399V and V771M polymorphisms did not show any association with levels of HDL-C, LDL-C, cholesterol and triglycerides. Haplotype analysis between R219K and V825L polymorphisms showed a unique interaction between R219 allele and L825 allele. The RL haplotype was found to be associated with decreased levels of HDL-C [-0.12 (-0.22 to -0.03); P=0.001]. CONCLUSIONS: ABCA1 polymorphisms are associated with varying levels of HDL-C in Pakistani individuals. These results warrant further investigations as ABCA1 polymorphisms may have a major role in the high incidence of cardiovascular disorders in South Asians.

Variations on a gene: rare and common variants in ABCA1 and their impact on HDL cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis.
Annu Rev Nutr. 2006;26:105-29., [PMID:16704350]

Abstract [show]
Cholesterol and its metabolites play a variety of essential roles in living systems. Virtually all animal cells require cholesterol, which they acquire through synthesis or uptake, but only the liver can degrade cholesterol. The ABCA1 gene product regulates the rate-controlling step in the removal of cellular cholesterol: the efflux of cellular cholesterol and phospholipids to an apolipoprotein acceptor. Mutations in ABCA1, as seen in Tangier disease, result in accumulation of cellular cholesterol, reduced plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased risk for coronary artery disease. To date, more than 100 coding variants have been identified in ABCA1, and these variants result in a broad spectrum of biochemical and clinical phenotypes. Here we review genetic variation in ABCA1 and its critical role in cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis in the general population.

Accurate prediction of the functional significance of single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations in the ABCA1 gene.
PLoS Genet. 2005 Dec;1(6):e83. Epub 2005 Dec 30., [PMID:16429166]

Abstract [show]
The human genome contains an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 DNA variants that alter an amino acid in an encoded protein. However, our ability to predict which of these variants are functionally significant is limited. We used a bioinformatics approach to define the functional significance of genetic variation in the ABCA1 gene, a cholesterol transporter crucial for the metabolism of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. To predict the functional consequence of each coding single nucleotide polymorphism and mutation in this gene, we calculated a substitution position-specific evolutionary conservation score for each variant, which considers site-specific variation among evolutionarily related proteins. To test the bioinformatics predictions experimentally, we evaluated the biochemical consequence of these sequence variants by examining the ability of cell lines stably transfected with the ABCA1 alleles to elicit cholesterol efflux. Our bioinformatics approach correctly predicted the functional impact of greater than 94% of the naturally occurring variants we assessed. The bioinformatics predictions were significantly correlated with the degree of functional impairment of ABCA1 mutations (r2 = 0.62, p = 0.0008). These results have allowed us to define the impact of genetic variation on ABCA1 function and to suggest that the in silico evolutionary approach we used may be a useful tool in general for predicting the effects of DNA variation on gene function. In addition, our data suggest that considering patterns of positive selection, along with patterns of negative selection such as evolutionary conservation, may improve our ability to predict the functional effects of amino acid variation.

Abstract [show]
Approximately 50 mutations and many single nucleotide polymorphisms have been described in the ABCA1 gene, with mutations leading to Tangier disease and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia. Homozygotes and heterozygotes for mutations in ABCA1 display a wide range of phenotypes. Identification of ABCA1 as the molecular defect in these diseases has allowed for ascertainment based on genetic status and determination of genotype-phenotype correlations and has permitted us to identify mutations conferring a range of severity of cellular, biochemical, and clinical phenotypes. In this study we review how genetic variation at the ABCA1 locus affects its role in the maintenance of lipid homeostasis and the natural progression of atherosclerosis.

Genetics of HDL regulation in humans.
Curr Opin Lipidol. 2003 Jun;14(3):273-9., [PMID:12840658]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review gene regulation of HDL-cholesterol and discuss molecular abnormalities in HDL candidate genes that may lead to human pathologic states. RECENT FINDINGS: The inverse association between HDL-cholesterol and vascular disease, especially coronary heart disease, has long been recognized, but understanding gene regulation of HDL in humans gained considerable momentum following the identification of ABCA1 as playing a pivotal role in reverse cholesterol transport. Recent data suggest that potentially important targets for upregulating HDL in humans include upregulators of ABCA1 and APOA1 (e.g. peroxisome proliferator activated receptor and liver X receptor agonists) and downregulators of CETP (e.g. JTT-705). A host of other nuclear receptors under investigation in animal models may advance to human testing in the near future. SUMMARY: Disorders affecting HDL metabolism are complex because monogenic disorders causing low HDL do not necessarily correlate with premature vascular disease. To date, pathologic phenotypes have only been deduced among several HDL candidate genes. Understanding the genetic underpinnings associated with variant HDL and reverse cholesterol transport provides an exceptional opportunity to identify novel agents that may optimize this process and reduce vascular event rates beyond currently available LDL lowering therapies.

Common genetic variation in ABCA1 is associated with altered lipoprotein levels and a modified risk for coronary artery disease.
Circulation. 2001 Mar 6;103(9):1198-205., [PMID:11238261]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Low plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We recently identified the ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) as the major gene underlying the HDL deficiency associated with reduced cholesterol efflux. Mutations within the ABCA1 gene are associated with decreased HDL-C, increased triglycerides, and an increased risk of CAD. However, the extent to which common variation within this gene influences plasma lipid levels and CAD in the general population is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined the phenotypic effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of ABCA1. The R219K variant has a carrier frequency of 46% in Europeans. Carriers have a reduced severity of CAD, decreased focal (minimum obstruction diameter 1.81+/-0.35 versus 1.73+/-0.35 mm in noncarriers, P:=0.001) and diffuse atherosclerosis (mean segment diameter 2.77+/-0.37 versus 2.70+/-0.37 mm, P:=0.005), and fewer coronary events (50% versus 59%, P:=0.02). Atherosclerosis progresses more slowly in carriers of R219K than in noncarriers. Carriers have decreased triglyceride levels (1.42+/-0.49 versus 1.84+/-0.77 mmol/L, P:=0.001) and a trend toward increased HDL-C (0.91+/-0.22 versus 0.88+/-0.20 mmol/L, P:=0.12). Other single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region had milder effects on plasma lipids and atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that common variation in ABCA1 significantly influences plasma lipid levels and the severity of CAD.

179 In heterozygotes, the phenotype is more pronounced in older individuals.9 This suggests that ABCA1 activity may normally increase with age but that this is blunted in R219K heterozygotes. Login to comment
180 Age-related increases in the expression and activity of P-glycoprotein, another ATP-binding cassette transporter, have been described.22,23 In the present study, we show that the R219K polymorphism was also associated with an altered relationship between age and HDL-C. Login to comment
