High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and particle concentrations, carotid atherosclerosis, and coronary events: MESA (multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis). J Am Coll Cardiol. 2012;60:508–16. In 5598 participants of the MESA trial, HDL-C did not predict carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) of CVD events after adjusting by LDL-P. However, HDL-P (measured by NMR) predicted both cIMT and CV events, even after adjusting by LDL-P and HDL-C.

Statin decrease in transporter ABC A1 expression via miR33 induction may counteract cholesterol efflux by high-density lipoproteins raised with the cholesteryl ester transfer protein modulator dalcetrapib. Atherosclerosis. 2014; [In press]. In vitro models of cell culture show that statin treatment result in a reduction of ABCA1 expression via a statin-induced increase in miR33. This result seems to be confirmed because statin treatment reduces the effect of HDL on ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux. This finding might explain the lack of effect of HDL-raising therapies in patients already on statins.
