Advances in experimental medicine and biology 2022Plasmid high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a critical biomarker in predicting cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial cells are physically located in the intima of blood vessels, which directly contact with circulating substances. Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that HDL exert protective effects on maintaining endothelial integrity and enhance anti-inflammatory functions, etc. In this chapter, we introduced how HDL benefit endothelial functions. We summarized the function of HDL on endothelial cell, such as endothelial permeability, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, etc. In addition, we discussed the effects of HDL on classical endothelial functions, such as coagulation and vasodilation. Although HDL have huge effects on endothelial functions, lots of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis could not be fully prevented and treated. Thus, a further understanding of the relationship between HDL and endothelial cell is needed, which would create a potential therapeutic approach to cardiovascular diseases. © 2022.
