Cardiovascular disease, which is often driven by hypercholesterolemia and
subsequent coronary atherosclerosis, is the number-one cause of morbidity and
mortality in the United States. Based on long-term epidemiological studies,
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are inversely correlated with
risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). HDL-mediated reverse cholesterol
transport (RCT) is responsible for cholesterol removal from the peripheral
tissues and return to the liver for final elimination.1 In atherosclerosis,
intraplaque angiogenesis promotes plaque growth and increases plaque
vulnerability. Conceivably, the acceleration of RCT and disruption of intraplaque
angiogenesis would inhibit atherosclerosis and reduce CAD. We have identified a
protein called apoA-I binding protein (AIBP) that augments HDL functionality by
accelerating cholesterol efflux. Furthermore, AIBP inhibits vascular endothelial
growth factor receptor 2 activation in endothelial cells and limits
angiogenesis.2 The following discusses the prospect of using AIBP as a novel
therapeutic approach for the treatment of CAD.
