Novel HDL mimetic NPs developed by using apoA-I mimetic peptides, constructs multivalent apoA-I mimetics, and apoA-I generated by bacteria.

Year Group HDL Animal model Key finding Ref.
2018 Chen sHDL mimetic-T1317: composed of a 22-amino acid apoA-I-mimetic, DMPC and POPC ApoE−/− mice 1) Significantly promoted cholesterol efflux in macrophages compared to T1317 and sHDL NPs alone; 2) did not increase serum TG levels as sHDL NPs did; 3) reduced side effects in the liver; 4) significantly reduced plaque size compared to T1317 and sHDL NP treatment alone. [98]
2019 Chiesa TN-sHDL mimetic: composed of a trimeric form of human apoA-I expressed from Escherichia coli, POPC and DPPC NZW 1) Induced plaque stabilization and showed lower macrophage content in plaque compared to groups treated with placebo. [99]
2019 White 4F-POPC HDL mimetic: composed of apoA-I mimetic (4F) and POPC N/A 1) Showed better ability to ameliorate lipid-related disorders than nanodiscs composed of apoA-I and POPC; 2) demonstrated resistance to oxidative processes. [100]
2019 Chiesa TN-sHDL NPs: composed of trimeric apoA-I, POPC, and DPPC NZW 1) Stabilization and regression of atheroma were observed in the treatment group. [101]
2019 Thaxton LC HDL NPs: composed of apoA-I, DPPC, and PL4 or DNA-PL4core N/A 1) Closely mimic the human HDLs
2) Reduced NF-κB activity in LPS stimulated human monocytes.
[102]
2020 Schwendeman T1317-SHDL NPs: composed of POPC, DMPC, DPPC, apoA-I mimetic peptide 22A and T1317, ApoE−/− mice 1) Better inhibition of plaque formation compared to sHDL or T1317 in plaque existing mice. [103]
