Abstract
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are heterogeneous particles with pleiotropic functions including anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious effects. In clinical studies, lower HDL-associated cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration has been associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, severity and mortality. A reduction in the number of HDL particles, particularly small ones has been observed with alterations in their protein and lipid composition impairing their functions. These observations have supported HDL supplementation with promising results in small preliminary studies. This review summarizes available evidence on these different aspects to better understand the two-way interaction between HDLs and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and guiding future HDL-based therapies for preparing the next pandemic.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) publishes original articles and reviews in the broadly defined area of biological lipids. We encourage the submission of manuscripts relating to lipids, including those addressing problems in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular medicine, clinical medicine and metabolism. Major criteria for acceptance of articles are new insights into mechanisms of lipid function and metabolism and/or genes regulating lipid metabolism along with sound primary experimental data. Interpretation of the data is the authors’ responsibility, and speculation should be labeled as such. Manuscripts that provide new ways of purifying, identifying and quantifying lipids are invited for the Methods section of the Journal. JLR encourages contributions from investigators in all countries, but articles must be submitted in clear and concise English.
