Over the years, the relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and atherosclerosis, initially highlighted by the Framingham study, has been revealed to be extremely complex, due to the multiple HDL functions involved in atheroprotection. Among them, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the ability of HDL to promote cell cholesterol efflux from cells, has emerged as a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk compared to merely plasma HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. HDL CEC is impaired in many genetic and pathological conditions associated to high CV risk such as dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, etc. The present review describes the current knowledge on HDL CEC modifications in these conditions, focusing on the most recent human studies and on genetic and pathophysiologic aspects. In addition, the most relevant strategies possibly modulating HDL CEC, including lifestyle modifications, as well as nutraceutical and pharmacological interventions, will be discussed. The objective of this review is to help understanding whether, from the current evidence, HDL CEC may be considered as a valid biomarker of CV risk and a potential pharmacological target for novel therapeutic approaches.

The cardioprotective effect of HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is largely determined by its cholesterol efflux capacity, which was shown to correlate inversely with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in populations with normal kidney function. Patients with end-stage renal disease suffer an exceptionally high cardiovascular risk not fully explained by traditional risk factors. Here, we investigated in a post-hoc analysis in 1147 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on hemodialysis participating in the 4D Study (The German Diabetes Dialysis Study), if the HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is predictive of cardiovascular risk. Efflux capacity was quantified by incubating human macrophage foam cells with apolipoprotein B-depleted serum. During a median follow-up of 4.1 years n=423 patients reached the combined primary endpoint (composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke), n=410 experienced cardiac events and n=561 died (all-cause mortality). Strikingly, in Cox regression analysis we found no association of efflux capacity with the combined primary endpoint (hazard ratio [HR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88 – 1.06, p =0.417), cardiac events (HR, 0.92; CI, 0.83-1.02; p =0.108) or all-cause mortality (HR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.88-1.05; p =0.390). In conclusion, HDL cholesterol efflux capacity is not a prognostic cardiovascular risk marker in diabetic patients on hemodialysis.
