We evaluated whether the lipoprotein profile, HDL composition and functionality were altered in stroke patients according to their clinical outcome using the modified Rankin Score at 3 months. Plasma samples were obtained from stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis. Levels of cardiovascular and inflammatory markers in plasma were measured using the Human CVD Panel 1 (Milliplex® MAP). Lipoprotein subfractions from plasma were quantified by non-denaturing acrylamide gel electrophoresis, using the Lipoprint®-System (Quantimetrix®), and HDLs were isolated by ultracentrifugation. Relative amounts of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) and alpha-1 anti-trypsin (AAT) in the isolated HDLs were determined by Western blot. HDL anti-inflammatory function was evaluated in human blood-brain barrier endothelial cells stimulated with 100 ng/mL TNFα, and HDL antioxidant function was evaluated via their capacity to limit copper-induced low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Stroke patients with unfavorable outcomes had a lower proportion of small-sized HDLs and increased plasma levels of E-selectin (SELE) and the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1). HDLs from patients with unfavorable outcomes had lower levels of PON1 and displayed a blunted capacity to reduce the expression of SELE, interleukin 8 (IL8) and the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) mRNA induced by TNFα in endothelial cells. These HDLs also had a reduced antioxidant capacity relative to HDLs from healthy donors. In conclusion, an increased ratio of large/small HDLs with impaired anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacities was associated with unfavorable outcomes in stroke patients. Alteration of HDL functionality was mainly associated with a low amount of PON1 and high amount of AAT.
