High-density lipoprotein in skin diseases: History
Please note this is an old version of this entry, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

From an evolutionary perspective, lipoproteins are not only lipid transporters, but they also have important functions in many aspects of immunity. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are the most abundant lipoproteins and the most heterogeneous in terms of their composition, structure, and biological functions. Despite strong evidence that HDL potently influences the activity of several immune cells, the role of HDL in skin diseases is poorly understood. Alterations in HDL-cholesterol levels have been observed in atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, urticaria, and angioedema. HDL-associated apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apoA-IV, and apoC-III, and lyso-phosphatidylcholines potently suppress immune cell effector responses. Interestingly, recent studies provided evidence that skin diseases significantly affect HDL composition, metabolism, and function, which, in turn, could have a significant impact on disease progression, but may also affect the risk of cardiovascular disease and infections. Interestingly, not only a loss in function, but also, sometimes, a gain in function of certain HDL properties is observed.

1. Introduction

The prevalence of allergic and inflammatory skin diseases has dramatically increased in recent decades, a fact that is linked to changes in environmental exposures and lifestyle practices [1][2]. Despite strong evidence that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) potently influences the activity of several immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, and neutrophils [3][4], the role of HDL particles in skin diseases is still poorly understood [5]. HDL particles are regarded as cholesterol transporters, mainly mediating the reverse cholesterol transport from extrahepatic peripheral tissues back to the liver. Although their association with reduced cardiovascular risk is well established [6][7][8][9], HDL-cholesterol raising therapies failed to improve the cardiovascular outcome [10][11][12], and recent studies challenged the causal role of low HDL-cholesterol levels in cardiovascular diseases [13].

HDL is quantitatively the most important lipoprotein in most species and mechanistic evidence points towards a role of HDL in physiological immune function [14], while low HDL-cholesterol levels are associated with a high risk of autoimmune disease in individuals from the general population [15]. In this context, the potential role of HDL in other diseases, such as infections and allergies, but also skin diseases, has gained much attention.

Apolipoprotein (apo) A-I is the main structural and functional apoprotein of HDL [16], and it plays a key role in the induction of cholesterol efflux from cells [17]. The interaction of HDL with cells results in cholesterol depletion in specific membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, named lipid rafts, a mechanism that is known to disrupt raft-dependent signaling [18][19]. Their main role is the compartmentalization of molecules to form functional platforms for biological processes, such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) [20]. The lipid composition of rafts determines their function; the modification of lipid raft composition can modulate raft-dependent signaling due to protein delocalization and alter immune cell biological functions [20]. HDL, along with apoA-I, have been shown to disrupt the plasma membrane of lipid rafts in antigen presenting cells, leading to the inhibition of their capacity to stimulate T cell activation [21]. On the other hand, lyso-phosphatidylcholine, which is one of the main phospholipid subtypes carried by HDL particles [22], has been shown to directly activate TLRs 1, 2, and 4 in the absence of classical TLR-ligands; however, in the presence of classical TLR-ligands, it induces an anti-inflammatory phenotype [23]. TLRs are expressed by a plethora of cells in the skin, including Langerhans cells, keratinocytes, and several immune cells [24][25]. Furthermore, TLRs are implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis [24][26][27] and psoriasis [24][27].

The composition and particle distribution of HDL are significantly altered in allergic and skin diseases, which ultimately lead to altered HDL functionality and an altered ability of HDL to modulate immune cell effector responses [4][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].

2. HDL Metabolism, Composition and Function

HDL particles are heterogeneous in terms of their composition, structure, and biological functions. The biogenesis of HDL is a complex process [36]. The first step in HDL formation is the secretion of apoA-I by the liver and intestine [37]. Secreted apoA-I interacts thereafter with ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter A1 (ABCA1), which leads to the rapid recruitment of cellular phospholipids and cholesterol to lipid-poor apoA-I. Afterwards, the lipidated apoA-I is gradually converted into discoidal HDL particles, containing unesterified cholesterol [38]. The acquisition of cholesterol and the esterification of free cholesterol to cholesteryl esters by the enzyme lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) [39] lead to the evolution of more mature, large-sized particles [40]. HDLs are extensively remodeled in the bloodstream via the action of lipid transfer proteins, such as cholesteryl-ester transfer protein (CETP), LCAT, and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). CETP is responsible for the bidirectional transfer of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between plasma lipoproteins [41]. PLTP mediates the phospholipid transfer among lipoproteins [42], which converts HDL into larger and smaller particles [43][44]. In addition, certain lipases, such as endothelial and hepatic lipases, as well as lipid exchange with cellular transporters, such as ABCA1 and ABCG1, and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), affect HDL maturation and catabolism [45][46]. Plasma endothelial and hepatic lipases have specificity for phospholipids and triglycerides of large HDL and apoB-containing lipoproteins remnants [47][48]. The hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids of HDL leads to the conversion of HDL2 into HDL3 and pre-beta HDL [44]. ABCA1 and ABCG1 both play a crucial role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. ABCA1 is responsible for the transfer of cellular phospholipids and cholesterol to lipid poor apoA-I, while ABCG1 promotes cholesterol efflux to more mature HDL particles [44]. SR-BI is primarily expressed by the liver, but it is also found in other tissues [49]. SR-BI absorbs cholesterol and cholesteryl ester of HDL without causing HDL degradation in the liver [50]. SR-BI also promotes cholesterol efflux from macrophages and other cell types to HDL particles, thus acting as a bidirectional cholesterol transporter [51] (Figure 1). HDL can be divided into the relatively cholesterol-rich, larger, spherical, and less dense HDL2 particles (1.063–1.125 g/mL), and the more protein-rich, smaller, and denser HDL3 particles (1.125–1.21 g/mL) [52]. The latter particles appear to display the most potent atheroprotective properties [53]. In addition to apoA-I and apoA-II, which are the main protein components, HDL particles contain other less abundant proteins, including apoA-IV, apoC-II, apoC-III, apoE, and serum amyloid A (SAA) [54]. Some studies reported that more than 100 different proteins are associated with HDL, which suggests a multiple functionality for the HDL particles [55]. Not all protein species are present on every single HDL particle, and most proteins are only carried by a small fraction of the HDL particles [56]. However, there is recent evidence that the HDL proteome of mature HDL3 and HDL2 subclasses may be less complex than expected and contains less than 20 proteins after extensive purification [57]. This seems to contradict other publications that assume a much more complex HDL proteome [56][58][59]. However, in these publications, not only HDL2 and HDL3 were isolated and investigated, but also pre-beta HDL. Therefore, the different number of identified proteins is due to the other purification strategies of the HDL subclasses. Moreover, more than 200 lipid species have been identified in HDL particles [60][61], including cholesterol (free or esterified), triglycerides, phospholipids, lyso-phospholipids, and sphingolipids [53]. The structure and dynamic properties of lipids significantly depend on their location in the particle (surface, intermediate region, core). Not only hydrophobicity, but also conformational entropy of the molecules, are the driving forces in the formation of the HDL structure [62]. For example, apoA-I has a strong preference for binding to HDL (d = 8–12 nm), as compared to larger, less curved low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (d = 20–24 nm) or very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) (d = 40–100 nm). The high radius of curvature of HDL as compared to other lipoproteins causes packing defects of phospholipids, and this is the reason why other lipids and amphipathic proteins associate with HDL when compared to other lipoproteins [63]. In addition to the promotion of cellular cholesterol efflux, HDL particles display a number of anti-inflammatory activities, such as cytoprotective, vasodilatory, anti-oxidative, anti-thrombotic, and anti-infectious activities [53]. Among the HDL associated enzymes, paraoxonase (PON) is known to exert a protective effect against oxidative damage of circulating cells and lipoproteins and to modulate the susceptibility of HDL to atherogenic modifications, such as homocysteinylation and glycation, even exerting an anti- inflammatory role [64]. Other HDL-associated enzymes are LCAT, platelet-activating factor-acetyl hydrolase (PAF-AH) (also known as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)), and PLTP. Among these, LCAT is responsible for the esterification of free cholesterol to cholesteryl esters [39]. PAF-AH is mainly associated with low-density lipoproteins, however about 30% is also associated with HDL [65]. PAF-AH is the major enzyme catabolizing platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like lipids, which are potent inflammatory mediators [66][67]. PLTP is a lipid transfer protein that is involved in the remodeling of HDL particles [43] and it has been reported to contribute to the anti-oxidative HDL activity [56].

Figure 1. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. HDL metabolism is a multistep process involving (i) the secretion of lipid-free apolipoproteins by the liver or intestine, (ii) the acquisition of cholesterol and phospholipids via ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter A1 (ABCA1), ABCG1, and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), (iii) the maturation by lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)-mediated cholesterol esterification and (iv) the final uptake of lipids by the liver. Cholesterol uptake is either mediated directly via SR-BI, or indirectly via cholesteryl-ester transfer protein (CETP)-mediated transfer of cholesteryl ester to very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and uptake by the LDL-Receptor. The liver excretes then cholesterol into the bile, either directly via the action of ABCG5/G8 transporters, or indirectly following oxidation to bile acid and secretion via ABCB11 [68][69].

3. HDL in Inflammatory Skin Diseases

The skin is one of the largest immunologic organs, while it is often a target for allergic and immunologic responses [70]. Immune-mediated skin diseases, such as contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, angioedema, and autoimmune blistering disorders are becoming all the more common nowadays, while most of them are chronic and inflammatory with both environmental and genetic factors contributing [70]. Many skin disorders are known to be associated with dyslipidemia, while some of the dermatological therapies are also known to predispose to lipid abnormalities [5].

3.1. Atopic Dermatitis is Associated with Complex Alterations in HDL Composition and Function

Atopic dermatitis (or eczema) is the most common atopic disease in young children and the most common skin disease in childhood [71]. Atopic dermatitis comprises a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with heterogeneous clinical phenotypes that are determined by both genetic and epigenetic dispositions [72]. In more than half of the patients the disease starts before the age of 6, while a less frequent onset is observed after the age of 20 [73]. Atopic dermatitis has different onset patterns and disease course is associated with distinct clinical features, food intolerance, risk of concomitant allergic diseases, and impact of psychic factors on symptoms [73]. In the last years, associations of atopic dermatitis with other inflammatory diseases have been reported, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease [74], and increased cardiovascular risk [75][76][77][78][79].

Although there is evidence that HDL is an important modulator of the immune response, few studies have investigated the role of HDL in human atopic dermatitis. A study conducted by Schäfer et al. reported increased HDL-cholesterol levels in patients in comparison to controls [80]; however, another study by Agón-Banzo et al. on a pediatric population, along with the study by Trieb et al., reported no difference [34][81].

A further study reported that apoA-I was highly expressed in the horny layer of the skin of atopic dermatitis patients in comparison to controls and it was associated with the severity of specific eruptions [82]. In a recent study by Trieb et al., the composition of HDL was evaluated in atopic dermatitis patients and control subjects [34]. Interestingly, the authors identified complex HDL compositional alterations. Specifically, the authors observed a significant enrichment of atopic dermatitis-HDL in apoA-II, the acute-phase protein SAA, and phosphatidylinositol, while a trend towards increased sphingomyelin content of atopic dermatitis-HDL was also observed [34]. Moreover, a significant reduction in atopic dermatitis-HDL content of apoC-III, apoE, cholesteryl ester, free cholesterol, lyso-phosphatidylcholine (especially 16:0 species), and phosphatidylethanolamine was observed when compared to the control subjects [34].

Eosinophils comprise a cell subset inducing tissue damage in the inflammatory infiltrate within the dermis of atopic dermatitis patients [83]. The effector responses of HDL isolated from patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and healthy controls were evaluated in a previous study while using freshly isolated human eosinophils [34]. Eosinophils were stimulated with eotaxin-2/CCL24 in the presence or absence of HDL (isolated from patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and healthy controls) and morphological changes (evaluated by the change in shape via flow cytometry) or chemotaxis was monitored. Of particular interest, the majority of HDL that was isolated from atopic dermatitis patients increased agonist induced eosinophil effector responses when compared to control-HDL. The authors demonstrated that the HDL-associated apoC-III and lyso-phosphatidylcholine species 16:0 and 18:0 effectively suppressed eosinophil shape change and migration [34]. Interestingly, the HDL content of apoC-III and lyso-phosphatidylcholine species 16:0 and 18:0 was much lower in HDL that was isolated from atopic dermatitis patients, and it was linked to an impaired ability of HDL to supress eosinophil effector responses. Moreover, by performing a detailed correlation analysis between function and composition of HDL isolated from atopic dermatitis patients, the authors demonstrated that the HDL-triglyceride content was negatively associated with the HDL activity towards agonist-induced eosinophil shape change and migration. In contrast, the HDL-associated SAA was associated with the ability of HDL to suppress agonist-induced eosinophil shape change [34]. In addition, the HDL-associated paraoxonase activity was decreased in atopic dermatitis-HDL; however, no change was observed in the capacity of atopic dermatitis-HDL to mobilize cholesterol from cells, when compared to the control-HDL [34].

In conclusion, there is increasing evidence that atopic dermatitis is associated with profound alterations in the HDL composition, linked to the formation of dysfunctional HDL. In contrast to the HDL that was isolated from allergic rhinitis patients [28], the ability of HDL to suppress eosinophil effector responses is suppressed in atopic dermatitis, which suggests disease specific links between HDL composition, dysfunction, and disease severity.

3.2. HDL in Psoriasis

Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown a consistent association of psoriasis with systemic metabolic disorders, including an increased prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease [84]. Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, which affects approximately 2–3% of the population in Western countries [85], and it is equally prevalent in both sexes [86]. Psoriasis is characterized by the appearance of red scaly plaques, affecting any part of the body, but predominately appearing over elbows and knees, on the scalp, the perianal, and the umbilical region [85]. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is complex, involving the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells by epidermal antigens due to skin trauma as the initial step [87], followed by maturation of myeloid dendritic cells, which promote the differentiation of T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells, via the secretion of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and IL-23 [88]. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that are produced by activated keratinocytes are able to recruit a variety of inflammatory cells from the circulation, leading to a “vicious cycle” of excessive immune response [89].

Already in the 90s, studies reported alterations in plasma lipids [90][91] and HDL-apolipoprotein content [90] in psoriatic children. The results from studies evaluating, among others, HDL-cholesterol levels between psoriasis patients and controls, vary greatly, reporting either increased [92][93][94][95], decreased [29][30][32][33][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118] or unchanged [31][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135] levels. Interestingly, Yu et al. demonstrated an increase in the small HDL subclass in psoriasis patients, which was associated with aortic inflammation [30], while Tom et al. reported a decrease in the large HDL subclass in paediatric psoriasis patients in comparison to controls, but no change in the small or medium HDL subclasses was observed [31].

Anti-inflammatory, anti-psoriatic therapies appear to induce complex changes in the HDL-cholesterol levels. The current treatment options include topicals, such as corticosteroids, as well as agents such as anthralin, synthetic vitamin D3 and vitamin A; phototherapy, including broad and narrowband-ultraviolet B (UVB), laser UVB, and psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA); systemics, such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, and retinoid receptor inhibitors (acitretin); and, biological therapeutics targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-23p40, or IL-17 [136]. Tofacitinib, an oral janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor [137][138][139], metformin, an anti-inflammatory agent activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) [140], and adalimumab [141], etanercept [142], or other TNF-alpha blockers [143] appear to increase HDL-cholesterol levels; whereas, topical [108] or systemic treatment with methotrexate [144] or acitretin [145] seem to decrease HDL-cholesterol levels. Etanercept [146], anti-IL17A antibodies, such as ixekizumab [147] and secukinumab [148], or other biologic treatments [149], appear not to affect HDL-cholesterol levels. In 2014, Holzer et al. demonstrated an increase in the large HDL subclass in psoriasis patients upon systemic and/or topical treatment in comparison to baseline [32]. In 2018 Mehta et al. reported an increase in the HDL-particle number at 12 weeks of phototherapy and a trend towards increase after adalimumab treatment, however at 52 weeks of adalimumab treatment a significant reduction of the HDL-particle number was observed in comparison to the baseline [150]; while, treatment with secukinumab induced no change in HDL particle number and size [151]. In 2017, Wolk et al. reported a striking increase in total HDL particles upon different dosages of tofacitinib for four or 16 weeks in comparison to baseline measurements; specifically the authors observed an increase in the small HDL subclass, while medium and large HDL subclasses remained unchanged [137]. Much like the effects of systemic or biological therapeutics on HDL-cholesterol levels, the distribution of HDL particles is also affected, since it appears to be dependent not only on the pharmacological agent, but also on the duration of treatment. In 2012, a study evaluated several aspects of HDL composition in HDL that was isolated by ultracentrifugation in a small cohort of psoriasis patients receiving mainly topical treatment [29]. Among the main HDL-associated proteins and lipids, the authors were able to demonstrate a reduction in the levels of apoA-I, total cholesterol, cholesteryl esters, free cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, and an increase in the levels of apoA-II and acute-phase proteins, such as SAA and α-1-antitrypsin, in HDL that is derived from psoriasis patients in comparison to the controls [29]. However, previous studies reported increased [92][93], decreased [96][106][108], or unchanged [31][98][115][119][129][135] apoA-I levels in psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls.

Due to these contradictory data, no direct and clear correlation between psoriasis and HDL quantity, particle size distribution, or composition has been demonstrated so far. Further studies are necessary in order to understand the observed effects.

However, the effects of anti-psoriatic therapy on some metrics of HDL function are more evident. During the last decade, studies coming from several groups have demonstrated significantly impaired HDL-cholesterol efflux capacity in psoriasis patients in comparison to controls [29][31][32][33], which appeared to recover upon systemic and/or topical treatment [32]. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity was negatively associated with psoriasis area severity index score [29][32], being significantly impaired in patients with higher psoriasis area severity index score [31], while it was positively associated with impaired levels of apoA-I, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin [29], and total phospholipid HDL content [32]. A recent study conducted by Mehta et al. indicated reduced cholesterol efflux capacity at 52 weeks of adalimumab treatment [150]. The JAK inhibitor tofacitinib showed no change in cholesterol efflux capacity upon a 16-week treatment, as was recently reported by Wolk et al. [137], while secukinumab treatment for 12 or 52 weeks also induced no change [151].

Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory potential of HDL was markedly impaired in psoriasis patients when compared to controls [115]. Of particular interest, a study identified apoA-I, HDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol efflux capacity to be predictors of noncalcified coronary burden in psoriasis [152]. Moreover, an improved HDL-associated Lp-PLA2 activity in patients in comparison to controls was observed [29][32], which was positively correlated with the psoriasis area severity index score [29]. Upon systemic and/or topical treatment or biologic treatment, patients showed improved LCAT activity in comparison to the baseline [32][137].

In conclusion, recent studies provided clear evidence that psoriasis affects HDL composition that is linked to a significantly impaired capability to mobilize cholesterol from macrophages, a crucial step in reverse cholesterol transport. HDL quantity and other functionalities assessed in psoriasis patients, including paraoxonase activity and anti-oxidative properties of HDL, are contradictory. Interestingly, as demonstrated by Asefi et al., PON 55 methionine allele is a risk factor for psoriasis [153]. However, in psoriasis patients, unchanged [29], improved [134][135], or impaired [32][115][116][133][154][155][156] paraoxonase activity was observed in comparison to healthy controls. Rocha-Pereira et al. showed a significantly reduced total anti-oxidant potential in patients in comparison to controls [113], while others observed no difference in the anti-oxidant HDL capacity [29][32].

All of these data only suggest a loss of cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL in patients with psoriasis, corresponding to the increased cardiovascular risk of these patients, while other metrics of HDL quantity and quality are inconclusive. This also suggests that studying the influence of anti-psoriatic agents on HDL-cholesterol efflux capacity may help to identify treatment strategies with beneficial effects on long-term cardiovascular outcome.

3.3. HDL in Urticaria

Urticaria is a common chronic clinical condition that presents with angioedema, wheals (hives), or both [157], occurring in 15–25% of individuals at some point of life [158], and it is one of the 10 most common dermatoses [159]. Urticaria presents a high burden for the patient due to its chronic course and the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately reducing performance and quality of life [160]. Urticaria is characterized by a recurrent, pruritic, wheals of pale, central swelling, and surrounding epidermal erythema, with the potential of appearance over any part of the body and with lesions ranging in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters [158]. Mast cells are the primary effector cells in urticaria, and their degranulation leads to a rapid release of a plethora of inflammatory mediators, such as leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and histamine, which, in turn, cause vasodilation and leakage of plasma below and in the skin. A more delayed secretion of inflammatory cytokines follows, including IL-4, IL-5, and TNF-alpha, potentially leading to further inflammatory responses and longer lasting lesions [161]. The pathogenesis, classification, diagnosis, and treatment options of urticaria have been extensively reviewed elsewhere [157][158][162], and they are not in the focus of the current review.

A study conducted by Amin and Rushdy has recently demonstrated significantly decreased serum levels of HDL-cholesterol in chronic spontaneous urticaria patients in comparison to control subjects, which were negatively associated with TNF-alpha [163]. Similarly, another study also demonstrated a reduction of serum HDL-cholesterol levels in chronic spontaneous urticaria patients in comparison to the controls, with HDL-cholesterol levels being negatively associated with right and left carotid intima media thickness, discussing the likelihood of a potentially increased atherosclerosis risk in those patients [164]. Further studies are warranted in order to confirm a potential link of HDL and urticaria.

3.4. HDL in Angioedema

Angioedema, in the absence of urticaria, is a rare condition that manifests itself by sudden, localized, non-pitting, erythematous, or skin-colored swelling of certain body parts, including the skin, mucous membranes, or both, the upper respiratory and intestinal epithelial linings [165]. Heat and pain comprise additional symptoms of the skin, although they are hardly accompanied by itching, desquamation, or staining of the skin [165]. When present, angioedema should be diagnosed with caution, since alternative diagnoses, including acquired angioedema, hereditary angioedema, or angioedema that is associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, all comprising life-threatening conditions, might also be true [158]. It can be further classified to idiopathic, histaminergic, hereditary type I, hereditary type II, and hereditary with normal C1 inhibitor, acquired and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced [158]. Angioedema results from the release of vasoactive mediators, which increase the vascular permeability in the skin and submucosa, leading to plasma vascular leakage and a resulting edema, which can be attributed either to bradykinin- or to histamine-mediated mechanisms [158]. The exact pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options have been described elsewhere [158][165], and they are not in the scope of this review.

Several different studies have determined the serum levels of HDL-cholesterol in angioedema patients, however currently no literature on potential HDL-associated compositional alterations in angioedema is available. A study conducted by Sloane et al. evaluating the potential side effects of long-term stanozolol therapy in hereditary angioedema patients has revealed reduced HDL-cholesterol levels after stanozolol treatment is some of the patients [166]. Other studies, evaluating possible adverse effects of danazol treatment, revealed significantly lower levels of serum HDL-cholesterol [167][168] and apoA-I in danazol treated patients when compared to control groups (either untreated patients or patients without long-term danazol treatment), as well as a higher risk of abnormally low HDL-cholesterol levels in danazol treated patients, indicating that long-term use of this drug is associated with increased early atherosclerosis risk [167]. A similar study by Birjmohun et al., which evaluated the effects of short- and long-term danazol treatment, revealed decreased apoA-I and HDL-cholesterol levels in short-term treated patients in comparison to the baseline measures, while long-term treatment did not adversely affect HDL-cholesterol concentration and apolipoproteins between patients and controls [35]. A more recent study by Nebenführer et al. revealed that danazol treated patients suffering from hereditary angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency had higher cardiovascular risk, as evaluated by the high body mass index and LDL/HDL ratio, in comparison to healthy controls [169].

Currently, information on functionality of HDL-associated enzymes in angioedema patients is only available by the study of Birjmohun et al., which evaluated the effects of short- and long-term danazol treatment in hereditary angioedema patients. This study revealed no adverse effects of short- and long-term danazol treatment on PON-1, PLTP, and CETP activities along with CETP mass between patients and controls. However, a trend towards decreased LCAT activity was observed in the long-term, although unaltered in the short-term danazol treated patients [35]. Further studies in larger cohorts are necessary in order to confirm the observed effects and understand the possible pathophysiological role of HDL in angioedema.

4. Conclusions

From an evolutionary point of view, lipoproteins display important functions in many aspects of immunity. Of all lipoproteins, HDL has the highest affinity for binding and neutralizing pathogen-associated lipids (e.g., LPS and lipoteichoic acid) [40][170], which mediate excessive immune activation in bacterial infections [40][171][172]. Research into the composition, distribution, and functionality of HDL particles in skin diseases has begun to attract attention, with several groups demonstrating changes in the composition and function of HDL.

A major weakness in HDL research is that HDL-cholesterol levels vary widely between different studies of the same disease background, which is possibly due to different study design, disease duration, or the presence of concomitant diseases, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. However, the results of several studies provide compelling evidence that skin diseases significantly affect the composition and metabolism of HDL, which, in turn, could have a significant impact on disease progression and the risk of infection and cardiovascular disease.

HDL particles in inflammatory skin diseases have an altered composition, which results in an altered functionality; however, these changes are not consistent for different pathological backgrounds. Currently, there are no tests available for measuring the composition, function, and inflammatory properties of HDL in clinical practice. It is not clear to what extent inflammatory-HDL alterations are a driving force or only a biomarker of the disease. Future studies are needed in order to demonstrate causality.
