Abstract

The efficiency of cholesterol efflux from cells promoted by high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) depends on HDL concentration and functional properties. The term "dysfunctional HDL" describes HDLs with impaired protective properties. Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of HDL is reduced in patients with atherosclerosis, but the exact mechanisms underlying this impairment are not well characterized. Enriching HDLs with phospholipids (PLs) improves CEC. Herein, we assessed the potential of PL nanoparticles in improving HDL functionality. We lipidated HDL subfractions by incubating with PL nanoparticles containing soybean polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine. Incubating blood plasma with PL nanoparticles resulted in the dose-dependent lipidation of all HDL subfractions. Changes in apolipoprotein A1 (apoA-1) and PL concentrations were the most prominent in the HDL
