Recent work has shown that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) isolated from human atherosclerotic lesions and the blood of patients with established coronary artery disease contains elevated levels of 3-nitrotyrosine and 3-chlorotyrosine. A higher nitrotyrosine content in lipoprotein is significantly associated with diminished cholesterol efflux capacity of the lipoprotein. Since accelerated atherogenesis is a key complication of diabetes mellitus, and nitrosative stress has recently been implicated in diabetic pathology, we set out to demonstrate an increase in the circulating levels of nitrated apolipoprotein A (apoA)-I in type 2 diabetic patients and its putative correlation with metabolic biomarkers. In this work we addressed this hypothesis in a case-control study with 30 type 2 diabetic patients and 30 age-matched control subjects. Nitrated apoA-I was 3280 1910 absorbance peak area/apoA-1 (g/L) for diabetic patients and 2320 890 for control subjects (p < 0.037). This represents a 50% increase in circulating nitrated apoA-I in diabetic patients to age-matched controls. Diabetic patients also showed increases of a similar magnitude in circulating advanced glycation endproducts measured as pentosidine fluorescence (44.16 +/- 16.26 vs. 30.84 +/- 12.86 AU; p < 0.01) and in circulating lipoperoxides (46.0 +/- 18.0 vs. 37.2 +/- 18.0 nmol/L; p < 0.03). No significant correlation was found between nitration of apoA-1 and glycosylated hemoglobin or any of the other parameters measured. If proven in subsequent functional and in vivo studies, increased nitrated apoA-I would represent another mechanism by which nitrosative stress participates in diabetic macroangiopathy.
