The mutations of LDLR gene were compound heterozygous mutations. The novel mutation 665G > T detected in the exon 4 of No. 1 proband's LDLR gene was heterozygous missense mutation. The novel mutation 1 358 +32C > T was detected in the exon 9 of No. 1 proband's LDLR gene.The mutations 665G > T ( paternal origin) and 1 358 + 32C > T ( maternal origin) were inherited from the parents. A novel mutation 1 257 C > A was detected in the exon 9 of No. 2 proband's LDLR gene, resulting the presence of a premature termination codon, which was different from 1 257 C > G reported in Belgium.Another heterozygous missense mutation 1 879 G > A was detected in exon 13. They were derived from paternal origin and maternal origin, respectively. Conclusions There are three novel gene mutations:665G >T, 1 358 +32C > T, 1 257C > A found in two probands with compound heterozygous mutations in LDLR respectively. They maybe play a potential role in FH pathogensis. 相似文献

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease which results in 2-3-fold elevated cholesterol levels and in accelerated atherosclerosis. FH is caused by small mutations or larger rearrangements in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Here, we report that screening the LDLR gene in a Swiss family (n = 15) with clinical symptoms of FH by combined single strand conformation polymorphism and long-distance PCR identified a novel 1.3 kb deletion in the LDLR. The deletion eliminated exon 4 of the LDLR presumably by recombination between two identical 25 bp repeats present in intron 3 and 4. The 25 bp sequence in intron 3 is part of an Alu repeat, whereas no homology to Alu repeats was found for the intron 4 region. This 1.3 kb LDLR deletion allele cosegregated with elevated cholesterol levels over three generations. Even on high-dose statin therapy, carriers of the deletion averaged 1.6 times higher cholesterol levels and 1.9 times higher apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) levels than non-carriers who had lipid and apoB-100 levels within the range of the Swiss population. Most affected members of the first and second generation of this family had experienced a first myocardial infarction (MI) before the age of 55 years and most LDLR gene deletion carriers older than 40 years showed severe coronary artery disease (CAD). Hence, we conclude that deletion of exon 4 in the LDLR gene drastically decreases low-density lipoprotein binding leading to severe hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene, is five times more frequent in the Afrikaner population of South Africa than it is in the population of the United States and Europe. It has been proposed that the high frequency is due to a founder effect. In this paper, we characterized 24 mutant LDL receptor alleles from 12 Afrikaner individuals homozygous for FH. We identified two mutations that together makeup greater than 95% of the mutant LDL receptor genes represented in our sample. Both mutations were basepair substitutions that result in single-amino acid changes. Each mutation can be detected readily with the polymerase chain reaction and restriction analysis. The finding of two common LDL receptor mutations in the Afrikaner FH homozygotes predicts that these mutations will predominate in the Afrikaner population and that the high frequency of FH is due to a founder effect. The increased incidence of ischemic heart disease in the Afrikaner population may in part be due to the high frequency of these two mutations in the LDL receptor gene. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the effects of statins on the quality of circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in relation to atherosclerosis progression. METHODS: In a double-blind, randomized trial of 325 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), we assessed the effects of high-dose atorvastatin (80 mg) and conventional-dose simvastatin (40 mg) on LDL subfraction profile (n = 289), LDL oxidizability (n = 121), and circulating autoantibodies to oxidized LDL (n = 220). Progression of atherosclerosis was measured by carotid intima media thickness (IMT) (n = 325). RESULTS: At baseline, the patients showed an intermediate LDL subfraction profile composed of three LDL subfractions (LDL1, LDL2, LDL3), with LDL2 as the predominant subfraction. A strong negative correlation was found between plasma triglycerides and the LDL subfraction profile (r = -.64, p = .000). Both plasma levels of triglycerides and small dense LDL3 correlated weakly with baseline IMT (r = .11, p = .04 and r = .15, p = .01, respectively; n = 289). No association was found between baseline IMT and oxidation parameters or circulating antibodies to oxidized LDL. Atorvastatin reduced triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and all LDL subfractions to a greater extent than did simvastatin and led to regression of carotid IMT. However, LDL subfraction pattern and plasma levels of autoantibodies to oxidized LDL remained unchanged in both treatment groups, and LDL oxidizability increased minimally to a similar extent in both groups. Significant treatment differences were found for the rate of in vitro oxidation of LDL and the amount of dienes formed during in vitro oxidation of LDL, which both decreased more following atorvastatin than after simvastatin. CONCLUSION: Change of IMT after statin treatment was associated with baseline IMT (r = .41), LDL cholesterol (r = -.20), and the amount of dienes formed during in vitro oxidation of LOL (r = .28) but not with plasma levels of antibodies to oxidized LDL, in vitro LDL oxidizability, and LDL subfraction profile. 相似文献

Removal of low-density lipoproteins from plasma by dextran sulfate adsorption (DSA) in FH patients entails a decrease in plasma levels of thyroid hormones (?28.5% and ?18.7%, respectively, for T3 and T4). This suggests that FH patients have a greater than normal fraction of thyroid hormones bound to lipoproteins, due to their expanded lipoprotein pool. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Hyperinsulinemia is widely believed to be an important coronary risk factor. We investigated the effect of plasma insulin levels on the development of coronary ectasia in Japanese men with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 20 FH men with the LDL receptor mutation (K790X) [age 42.3+/-2.8 years old, body mass index (BMI) 24.6+/-0.7 kg/m2, total cholesterol (TC) 8.68+/-0.36 mmol/l, triglycerides (TG) 1.76+/-0.23 mmol/l, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) 0.977+/-0.065 mmol/l]. Subjects with diabetes mellitus were excluded. Plasma insulin levels, either fasting or during oral glucose tolerance test, were compared between subjects with and without coronary artery ectasia. RESULTS: FH subjects with coronary ectasia had significantly higher fasting plasma insulin levels than those without (12.6+/-1.4 vs. 7.7+/-0.5 mU/l; p<0.05). Also, plasma insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance test tended to be higher in the former than in the latter. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma insulin level could be an important determinant of the development of coronary artery ectasia in Japanese heterozygous FH men. 相似文献

Abstract. Lovastatin is one of the most commonly used lipid-lowering drugs in familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) heterozygotes. In order to study whether the response to lovastatin is influenced by the underlying mutation in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene, the authors compared the response in 24 heterozygotes in whom the mutation has been classified and in 34 heterozygotes in whom the mutation has not been classified. Those possessing a classified mutation had significantly higher pre-trial values of LDL-cholesterol than those possessing an unclassified mutation. However, no difference was found in the response to lovastatin. Nor were there any differences in the response between subjects possessing one of the three different classified mutations. Furthermore, irrespective of whether or not the mutation had been classified, no difference in the response was found between subjects in the upper and lower quartile with respect to pre-trial values of LDL-cholesterol. The authors conclude that the response to lovastatin is independent of both the specific mutation in the LDL receptor gene and the actual cholesterol level in FH heterozygotes. 相似文献

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), especially in the presence of a raised low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (LDL-C). To ascertain whether reduction of both LDL and Lp(a) is more advantageous than reduction of LDL alone, patients with heterozygous FH and CHD were selected randomly to receive either LDL apheresis fortnightly plus simvastatin 40 mg/day or colestipol 20 g plus simvastatin 40 mg/day. Quantitative coronary angiography was undertaken before and after 2.1 years. Changes in serum lipids were similar in both groups except for the greater reduction of LDL-C and Lp(a) by apheresis. There were no significant differences in primary angiographic endpoints, and none of the angiographic changes correlated with Lp(a). Although LDL apheresis plus simvastatin was more effective than colestipol plus simvastatin in reducing LDL-C and Lp(a), it was not more beneficial in influencing coronary atherosclerosis. Decreasing Lp(a) seems unnecessary if LDL-C is reduced below 130 mg/dl. 相似文献

The effects of combined drug treatment (fenofibrate and cholestyramine) have been investigated in vivo by simultaneously determining total and receptor-independent LDL catabolism with 125I-labelled LDL and 131I-labelled LDL coupled with cyclohexanedione. Receptor-mediated catabolism of LDL determined as the difference between the turnover of 125I and 131I, was found to be reduced in heterozygotes with familial hypercholesterolemia. Treatment with combined fenofibrate and cholestyramine markedly stimulated both receptor-mediated (by more than 2-fold) and receptor-independent catabolism. LDL-Apo B and LDL-cholesterol levels were reduced by 38% and 36%, respectively. The combined treatment also reduced the absolute synthetic rate of LDL-Apo B (by 9%). The mechanisms responsible for these kinetic effects are discussed. 相似文献

A cDNA sequence encoding a soluble form of the human low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) was produced by RT-PCR amplification. This form of the receptor contains the N-terminal cysteine-rich domain, the EGF homology domain, and the serine/threonine-rich domain, but lacks the membrane anchor as well as the cytoplasmic domain. By the same technical approach a cDNA sequence encoding rabbit transferrin was generated. In-frame fusion of the two cDNAs produced a sequence encoding a chimeric protein potentially capable of binding LDL on the N-terminal side and the transferrin receptor on the C-terminal side. It was expected that LDL bound to the chimeric protein could be internalized, targeted to an acidic compartment, and processed through the pathway of the transferrin receptor. Cells transfected with the LDL-R/transferrin cDNA translate, glycosylate, and secrete the corresponding protein in the culture medium. The secreted protein binds LDL in a ligand-blotting experiment. Finally, the chimeric protein mediates the binding and internalization of LDL in mutant cells lacking the LDL receptor. In fact, Watanabe rabbit fibroblasts, incubated with the chimeric protein show a fourfold increase in LDL binding, a fivefold increase in LDL internalization, and a sixfold increase in LDL degradation, with respect to unincubated fibroblasts. 相似文献

We tested the efficacy of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) therapy using helper-dependent adenovirus (HD-Ad), comparing it with that of very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), an LDLR homolog. We treated high cholesterol diet fed LDLR-/- mice with a single intravenous injection of HD-Ad expressing monkey LDLR (1.5 x 10(13) or 5 x 10(12) VP/kg) or VLDLR. Throughout the 24-week experiment, plasma cholesterol of LDLR-treated mice was lower than that of VLDLR-treated mice, which was in turn lower than that of PBS-treated mice. Anti-LDLR antibodies developed in 2/10 mice treated with high-dose HD-Ad-LDLR but in none (0/14) of the other treatment groups. HD-Ad-treated mice displayed significant retardation of atherosclerotic lesion progression. We next tested the long-term efficacy of low-dose HD-Ad-LDLR injected into 12-week-old LDLR-/- mice. After 60 weeks, atherosclerosis lesions covered approximately 50% of the surface of aortas of control mice, whereas aortas of treated mice were essentially lesion-free. The lipid lowering effect of HD-Ad-LDLR lasted at least 108 weeks (>2 years) when all control mice had died. In addition to retarding lesion progression, treatment caused lesion remodeling from a vulnerable-looking to a more stable-appearing phenotype. In conclusion, HD-Ad-mediated LDLR gene therapy is effective in conferring long-term protection against atherosclerosis in a mouse model of familial hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献

Serum cholesterol precursor levels and plant sterol were related to parameters of cholesterol metabolism in 22 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The serum levels of cholesterol precursor sterols were inversely related to fractional absorption of dietary cholesterol and subsequently positively to overall cholesterol synthesis. The serum plant sterol levels, on the contrary, were significantly associated with fractional cholesterol absorption and negatively with overall cholesterol synthesis. These results were confirmed also with multivariate analyses. Fecal lanosterol, a cholesterol precursor, was related positively to cholesterol synthesis measured by sterol balance and serum precursors and negatively to serum plant sterols. The serum precursor and plant sterol levels were inversely significantly related to each other, indicating that the higher cholesterol absorption efficiency the higher are the serum plant sterol levels and the lower the precursor sterol contents and the overall cholesterol synthesis. 相似文献

We report the detection of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors by the technique of receptor blotting in fibroblasts from a patient with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FHC) previously classified as "receptor negative." Solubilized receptors were electrophoresed, transferred to nitrocellulose paper, treated with LDL followed by radiolabeled antibody to LDL, and visualized by autoradiography. GM 2000 FHC fibroblasts revealed LDL receptors with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 140,000, the same as in normal cells. LDL receptor activity by blotting in GM 2000 cells was greatly diminished in comparison with normal cells, but was calcium dependent. Receptor activity was also detectable by conventional monolayer binding and degradation assays. Thus, GM 2000 cells have profoundly diminished LDL receptor activity, but retain the genetic capacity to make LDL receptor material of normal molecular weight that is capable of binding LDL. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of trace amounts of immunoreactive LDL receptor protein in fibroblasts from some receptor-negative FHC homozygotes. Our work extends these studies by demonstrating the ability of this material to bind LDL. 相似文献
