Hypertriglyceridemia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Gemfibrozil on Serum GPI Phospholipase D and Triglycerides
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) in triglyceride metabolism.
Increased fasting serum triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of
coronary artery disease. However, triglyceride levels in the postprandial state are a more
sensitive marker of coronary artery disease. Postprandial elevations in triglycerides result
from a decrease in the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, i.e. chylomicrons and
very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). This leads to an accumulation of atherogenic remnants
of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Although fasting triglycerides are the best predictors of
postprandial triglycerides, differences in fasting triglycerides only partially account for
the variation in magnitude of postprandial triglycerides. Recently, we have identified a new
protein involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein catabolism,
glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD). We have shown that elevated
levels of GPI-PLD are associated with increased fasting triglyceride levels. Serum GPI-PLD
is associated with high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the fasting state and exchange onto
VLDL in the postprandial state. Hepatic GPI-PLD decreases triglyceride-rich lipoprotein
catabolism in the liver. Hepatic and serum GPI-PLD levels are decreased by peroxisome
proliferator receptor (PPAR) alpha agonist treatment, which also reduces fasting and
postprandial triglycerides. The central hypothesis of this application is that variations in
GPI-PLD expression account for a portion of the differences in fasting and postprandial
triglycerides among humans.
The objective of this proposal is to determine the role of GPI-PLD in regulating fasting
triglycerides and post-prandial hypertriglyceridemia in humans. This will be accomplished by
conducting a double blind, placebo controlled study in humans examining the effect of
gemfibrozil on fasting and postprandial triglycerides in relationship to the variation and
changes in GPI-PLD before and after gemfibrozil.
Our specific objectives are:
- 1a) Determine the extent to which variations in GPI-PLD account for differences in
fasting and postprandial triglycerides
- 1b) Establish the degree to which the lowering of fasting and postprandial
triglycerides by gemfibrozil is accounted for by changes in GPI-PLD.
- 2) Quantify the changes in serum GPI-PLD and distribution of GPI-PLD among lipoproteins
in the postprandial state.
This will be the first prospective bench-to-bedside study examining the role of GPI-PLD in
triglyceride metabolism. This proposal will be the first in humans examining 1) the role of
a novel protein, GPI-PLD, in triglyceride metabolism, and 2) the effect of gemfibrozil, a
drug currently used clinically to lower triglyceride levels, on GPI-PLD levels in humans. It
is expected that the results from this study will increase our understanding of triglyceride
metabolism and develop new information in understanding the regulation of GPI-PLD and its
relationship to triglyceride metabolism.
