The objective of this study was to define age-associated alterations of the different metabolic pathways controlling cholesterol homeostasis by analyzing circulating sterols. Methods: We analyzed serum samples collected from 201 adult (75 male, 126 female) subjects within the epidemiological MICOL study (Multicentrica Italiana Colelitiasi). The age range was 38–79 years; 103 had evidence of gallstones. The concentrations of the different sterols, recognized as markers of the main pathways of cholesterol homeostasis, were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, including lathosterol (synthesis), campesterol and sitosterol (absorption), and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (degradation to bile acids). Results: A significant direct correlation was detected between age and cholesterol levels (r=0.34, P

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to identify which factors were associated with a risk of hospital readmission within 3 months after discharge of a sample of elderly patients admitted to internal medicine and geriatric wards. Methods: Of the 1178 patients aged 65 years or more and discharged from one of the 66 wards of the 'Registry Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI)' during 2010, 766 were followed up by phone interview 3 months after discharge and were included in this analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of several variables with rehospitalization within 3 months from discharge. Results: Nineteen percent of patients were readmitted at least once within 3 months after discharge. By univariate analysis in-hospital clinical adverse events (AEs), a previous hospital admission, number of diagnoses and drugs, comorbidity and severity index (according to Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-CIRS), vascular and liver diseases with a level of impairment at discharge of 3 or more at CIRS were significantly associated with risk of readmission. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only AEs during hospitalization, previous hospital admission, and vascular and liver diseases were significantly associated with the likelihood of readmission. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the need for increased medical attention towards elderly patients discharged from hospital with characteristics such as AEs during the hospitalization, previous admission, vascular and liver diseases. © 2012 European Federation of Internal Medicine.

Abstract

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the most prevalent liver disorders in Western countries, is characterized by hepatic accumulation of triglycerides. Bile acids have long been known to affect triglyceride homeostasis through a not completely understood mechanism. Aim: To analyse the effects of two different manipulations of bile acid circulation on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods: Two animal models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were developed by either feeding rats with a choline deficient or with a high fat diet. After 4 weeks, rats were randomized to undergo either bile duct ligation, sham operation or cholic acid administration. Results: During cholestasis there was an increased CYP7A1 expression, the rate limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, and a reduction of hepatic concentration of oxysterols, ligands of the liver X receptors. Target genes of the liver X receptors, involved in fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, were down-regulated in association with decreased hepatic triglyceride content and improvement of fatty liver. Administration of cholic acid, ligand of farnesoid X receptor, also had a beneficial effect on fatty liver in rats on choline deficient diet. Conclusion: These results indicate that pharmacological approaches increasing the expression of CYP7A1 or stimulating farnesoid X receptor pathway could represent a promising treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. © 2012 Editrice Gastroenterologica Italiana S.r.l

Abstract

Background and aims: The first step in the alternative pathway of bile acid biosynthesis is the 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol, which takes place both in liver and extrahepatic tissues. This pathway is believed to play a role in peripheral cholesterol degradation. Aim of this study was to investigate the impact of hyperlipidemia on 27-hydroxycholesterol appearance rate, and to assess the effects induced by treatment with statins. Methods and results: Seven patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and eight patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia underwent determination of 27-hydroxylation rates in vivo by i.v. infusion of deuterated 27-hydroxycholesterol. Isotope enrichment was assayed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, allowing to calculate 27-hydroxycholesterol appearance rates. Six normocholesterolemic subjects were regarded as controls. In some hypercholesterolemic patients the infusions were repeated during treatment with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin. Hydroxylation rates were higher in hypercholesterolemic patients (8.7 2.5 mg/h; controls, 3.4 2.0 mg/h; combined hyperlipidemia, 4.4 1.6 mg/h; mean SD, P < 0.01 vs both). After statin treatment, both plasma cholesterol levels and hydroxylation rates dropped by nearly 50%. No difference was detectable between the two statins. A linear correlation was shown between plasma cholesterol and 27-hydroxylation rates. Conclusion: Hypercholesterolemia associates with increased 27-hydroxycholesterol appearance rates, which decrease during hypocholesterolemic treatment. The correlation with cholesterol levels supports the view that 27-hydroxylation may act as a compensatory mechanism in a condition of larger plasma cholesterol pool. A regulatory role for hepatic and extrahepatic nuclear receptors seems reasonable. These data prompt novel pharmacological approaches for the management of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Background/aim: Hepatic bile acid synthesis is the main mechanism whereby the organism can degrade cholesterol. Plasma levels of 7 -hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one have been reported to reflect bile acid synthesis and the expression or activity of the limiting enzyme of the main biosynthetic pathway, cholesterol 7 -hydroxylase. Aim of this study was to correlate the levels of this metabolite with the rates of cholesterol 7 -hydroxylation in vivo, a direct measurement of bile acid synthesis, in hyperlipidemic patients. Design: Concentrations of 7 -hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one were assayed by gas¿liquid chromatography: mass spectrometry in plasma samples obtained in 18 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia who previously underwent determination of cholesterol 7 - hydroxylation rates in vivo by tritium release analysis. Both determinations were performed in basal conditions and after treatment with hypolipidemic drugs (the fibric acid derivatives gemfibrozil and bezafibrate, cholestyramine alone or associated with simvastatin). Results: Changes in plasma 7 -hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one profile closely reflected in vivo cholesterol 7 -hydroxylation rates during treatment with fibrates, cholestyramine and cholestyramine plus simvastatin. When plotting determinations from all studies (n = 40), a very strict correlation was disclosed between plasma 7 -hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and cholesterol 7 -hydroxylation rates (r = 0.81, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Plasma 7 -hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one closely mirrors measurements of cholesterol 7 -hydroxylation rates in vivo in hyperlipidemic subjects and therefore stands as a reliable marker of global bile acid synthesis. In view of the correlation observed, these data may help to interpret changes of plasma levels of this metabolite in terms of cholesterol balance quantification. © 2008 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Background Recent data highlighted the role of nuclear receptors in the transcriptional regulation of the limiting enzyme of bile acid synthesis, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, in cellular and animal models. This study was designed to analyze the effects of age on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and related nuclear receptor expression in human livers. Design Surgical liver biopsies were obtained in 23 patients requiring operation on the gastrointestinal tract. mRNA levels of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and related nuclear receptors and co-activators were assayed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Serum levels of 7 alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, a marker of bile acid synthesis, were assayed by gas-liquid chromatography:mass spectrometry. Results Ageing was inversely correlated with serum 7 alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and with cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase mRNA levels (r = -0.44 and r = -0.45 on a semi-log scale, respectively, P < 0.05). Among different nuclear factors, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase mRNA best correlated with hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (r = 0.55 on a log scale, P < 0.05); hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 levels were also inversely correlated with age (r = -0.64 on a semi-log scale, P < 0.05). Age was inversely correlated with serum insulin-like growth factor-I levels, which were directly correlated with hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase expression. No suppressive effect of short heterodimer partner expression on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase was observed. Conclusions Ageing associates with reduced bile acid synthesis, possibly related to decreased hepatic expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 and consequently of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase. Age-related modifications of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor axis might play a role. These findings may help to elucidate the pathophysiology of age-related modifications of cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract

Cholesterol cholelithiasis (gallstone disease) is a common disease in the Western world. The aim of the present study was to analyze the hepatic expression of a number of nuclear receptors involved in bile acid metabolism in human cholesterol gallstone disease. Surgical liver biopsies were obtained from 11 patients with untreated cholesterol cholelithiasis and nine gallstone-free subjects; mRNA levels of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and related nuclear receptors and coactivators were assayed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. No differences between the two groups were detected in mRNA levels of CYP7A1 and related nuclear receptors, with the exception of peroxysome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 (PGC-1), which was significantly (P < 0.01) less expressed in gallstone subjects. Expression of PGC-1 was linearly correlated with farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in gallstone patients (r = 0.87 on a log scale, P < 0.01), but not in control subjects; in gallstone patients PGC-1 expression was also correlated with hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF-4) (r = 0.78, P < 0.01). These findings suggest that PGC-1 can play a role in the prevention of cholesterol gallstone disease in humans; this might take place via interaction with the bile acid receptor FXR, whose protective role in cholelithiasis has been suggested by recent evidence in animal models and other coactivators. The present data might help to understand the pathophysiology and possibly focus on new therapeutical targets in cholesterol gallstone disease.

Abstract

The effects of newly synthesized cholesterol availability on bile acid synthesis are largely unknown, particularly in humans. The present study was aimed to study the changes induced on bile acid synthesis by simvastatin, a competitive inhibitor of hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol synthesis, during pharmacologic interruption of the enterohepatic circulation. Six patients with primary hypercholesterolemia were studied in basal conditions, after treatment with the bile acid binding resin cholestyramine alone (8-16 g/d for 6-8 weeks) and subsequently in combination with simvastatin (40 mg/d for 6-8 weeks). Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylation rate, a measure of total bile acid synthesis, was assayed in vivo by tritium release analysis. Serum lathosterol levels were assayed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry as a measure of cholesterol synthesis. Serum total and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were reduced significantly after cholestyramine (by 26% and 30%, respectively) and during combined treatment (by 47% and 55%). 7alpha-Hydroxylation rates increased nearly 4-fold with cholestyramine alone; addition of simvastatin induced a significant decrease of hydroxylation rates (cholestyramine alone, 1,591 183 mg/d; plus simvastatin, 1,098 232 mg/d; mean SEM; P <.05). Hydroxylation rates significantly correlated with serum lathosterol/ cholesterol ratio (r = 0.79, P <.05). In conclusion, in conditions of chronic stimulation bile acid synthesis may be affected by changes in newly synthesized cholesterol availability. The finding might relate to the degree of substrate saturation of microsomal cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase; alternatively, newly synthesized cholesterol might induce a stimulatory effect on cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase transcription.

Abstract

Hepatic steatosis is the hallmark of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is the consequence of multiple metabolic derangements among which insulin resistance plays a pivotal role. Steatosis is, also, a feature of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, in chronic hepatitis C,the prevalence of steatosis is 2.5-fold more elevated than that expected by a chance concurrence with NAFLD, suggesting that HCV may be implied in the development of steatosis. As observed in NAFLD, in patients infected with HCV genotype 1 steatosis is associated with an increased body mass index. On the other hand, in patients infected with genotype 3 the extent of steatosis strictly correlates with the viral load indicating that steatosis is mainly “virus-related”. Regardless of the “metabolic” or “viral” etiology, hepatic steatosis in HCV contributes to the progression of liver fibrosis, to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and to an impaired response to interferon treatment. Features such as obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus are shared by NAFLD and HCV-associated steatosis. In addition, HCV infection, directly or through steatosis, favors the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hyperlipidemia is an independent predictor of the development of NAFLD, but not of HCV-associated steatosis. Arterial hypertension is common in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients, and HCV infection has recently been acknowledged as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. The role of iron in the progression of both NAFLD and HCV-associated steatosis remains controversial while lipoperoxidation and oxidative stress are pathogenic mechanisms shared by both. Some metabolic risk factors may be shared by both HCV-associated steatosis and NAFLD although the disease progression and pathophysiological background may be different. Preliminary data suggest that the therapeutic options for NAFLD may also be useful to improve HCV-associated steatosis.

Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease are common in the general population, but their concurrence is 2- to 3-fold higher than would be expected by chance alone. In patients with chronic HCV infection, steatosis is attributable to a variable combination of the mechanisms considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD--insulin resistance in the obese and in the lean subject--along with a direct effect of HCV on hepatic lipid metabolism that leads to triglyceride accumulation through inhibition of export proteins that are required for very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) assembly and secretion. Accumulating evidence suggests that steatosis contributes to the progression of fibrosis in HCV-related disease in a pattern similar to that observed in NAFLD. Potential mechanisms of this effect include the increased sensitivity of steatotic livers to oxidative stress and cytokine-mediated injury. Steatosis-related hepatic insulin resistance may also play a role through the profibrogenic effects of the compensatory hyperinsulinemia and provides a potential explanation for the association between HCV and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Indeed, an appreciation of the importance of fat in HCV has recently led to trials of adjuvant therapy for HCV directed at steatosis-associated disease mechanisms, with encouraging results reported for various modalities, including weight loss and antioxidants. Future therapy should be aimed at exploiting the interactions of HCV with host insulin and lipid metabolism, particularly in nonresponders to standard antiviral schedules.

Abstract

Background: As chronicity represents one of the major challenges in the healthcare of aging populations, the understanding of how chronic diseases distribute and co-occur in this part of the population is needed. Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare patterns of diseases identified with cluster analysis in two samples of hospitalized elderly. Methods: Data were obtained from the multicenter ‘Registry Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI)' that included people aged 65 or older hospitalized in internal medicine and geriatric wards in Italy during 2008 and 2010. The study sample from the first wave included 1,411 subjects enrolled in 38 hospitals wards, whereas the second wave included 1,380 subjects in 66 wards located in different regions of Italy. To analyze patterns of multimorbidity, a cluster analysis was performed including the same diseases (19 chronic conditions with a prevalence >5%) collected at hospital discharge during the two waves of the registry. Results: Eight clusters of diseases were identified in the first wave of the REPOSI registry and six in the second wave. Several diseases were included in similar clusters in the two waves, such as malignancy and liver cirrhosis; anemia, gastric and intestinal diseases; diabetes and coronary heart disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prostate hypertrophy. Conclusion: These findings strengthened the idea of an association other than by chance of diseases in the elderly population.
