Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with changes in HDL levels, composition and sub-fraction profile. Whether these alterations affect HDL anti-atherogenic function, specifically measured as its capacity to perform cholesterol efflux, is not yet clearly known. Objective: To evaluate the relation between serum cholesterol efflux capacity and the changes in HDL composition and sub-fraction profile in MetS. Methods: In 35 non-treated MetS patients and 15 healthy controls, HDL mediated cholesterol efflux was measured as the ability of apoB-depleted serum to accept cholesterol from cholesterol-loaded BHK cells expressing either ABCA1 or ABCG1. Additionally we determined: lipid profile, HDL sub-fractions (NMR) and LCAT mass (ELISA). Isolated HDL (d: 1.063-1.210 g/mL) was chemically characterized. Pre-beta 1-HDL was determined by 2D-electrophoresis in a sub-group of MetS and controls (n = 6 each). Results: Surprisingly, MetS patients presented higher ABCA1 mediated cholesterol efflux (10.4 +/- 1.8 vs. 8.7 +/- 0.3%; p = 0.0001), without differences in ABCG1 efflux. In MetS, HDL showed reduction in particle size and number (p < 0.02) and lower large/small HDL ratio (p = 0.05), as well as triglyceride enrichment (p = 0.0001). Pre-b1-HDL was increased in MetS (p = 0.048) and correlated with ABCA1-cholesterol efflux (r = 0.64; p = 0.042). LCAT mass showed a tendency to reduction in MetS (p = 0.08), and inversely correlated with ABCA1-cholesterol efflux (r = -0.51; p = 0.001), independently of obesity and insulin-resistance (beta = -0.40, p = 0.034). Conclusion: This is the first description of ABCA1 mediated cholesterol efflux in MetS. Regardless the reduced HDL-cholesterol, in vitro cholesterol efflux capacity by ABCA1 was enhanced, linked to increased pre-beta 1-HDL and slightly reduced in LCAT mass that would probably reflect a delay in reverse cholesterol transport occurring in MetS.
