摘要

Rosiglitazone has been found to have anti-atherogenic effects and to increase serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, in vivo studies investigating the regulation of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) by rosiglitazone are limited. Moreover, the effects of rosiglitazone on the function and levels of HDL are unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effects of rosiglitazone on HDL function and its mechanisms of action in atherosclerotic rabbits. Our results revealed that rosiglitazone induced a significant increase in serum HDL-C levels, paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity, [(3)H]cholesterol efflux rates, and the expression of ABCA1 and SR-BI in hepatocytes and peritoneal macrophages. The expression of ABCA1 was also increased in aortic lesions. Rosiglitazone markedly reduced serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, aortic intima-media thickness (IMT) and the percentage of plaque area in the aorta. It can thus be concluded that in atherosclerotic rabbits, rosigitazone increases the levels of HDL-C and hinders atherosclerosis. Thus, it improves HDL quality and function, as well as the HDL-induced cholesterol efflux, exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
