    • Abstract:
      Background: Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) display high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), endothelial dysfunction, and increased risk of premature atherosclerosis. We have previously shown that red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with type 2 diabetes induce endothelial dysfunction through increased arginase 1 and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
      Objective: To test the hypothesis that RBCs from patients with FH (FH-RBCs) and elevated LDL-c induce endothelial dysfunction.
      Methods and Results: FH-RBCs and LDL-c >5.0 mM induced endothelial dysfunction following 18-h incubation with isolated aortic rings from healthy rats compared to FH-RBCs and LDL-c <2.5 mM or RBCs from healthy subjects (H-RBCs). Inhibition of vascular but not RBC arginase attenuated the degree of endothelial dysfunction induced by FH-RBCs and LDL-c >5.0 mM. Furthermore, arginase 1 but not arginase 2 was elevated in the vasculature of aortic segments after incubation with FH-RBCs and LDL-c >5.0 mM. A superoxide scavenger, present throughout the 18-h incubation, attenuated the degree of endothelial dysfunction induced by FH-RBCs and LDL-c >5.0 mM. ROS production was elevated in these RBCs in comparison with H-RBCs. Scavenging of vascular ROS through various antioxidants also attenuated the degree of endothelial dysfunction induced by FH-RBCs and LDL-c >5.0 mM. This was corroborated by an increase in the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal. Lipidomic analysis of RBC lysates did not reveal any significant changes across the groups.
      Conclusion: FH-RBCs induce endothelial dysfunction dependent on LDL-c levels via arginase 1 and ROS-dependent mechanisms.
