Aim: The impacts of synthetic high-density lipoprotein (sHDL) phospholipid components on anti-sepsis effects were investigated. Methods: sHDL composed with ApoA-I mimetic peptide (22A) and different phosphatidylcholines were prepared and characterized. Anti-inflammatory effects were investigated in vitro and in vivo on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation models. Results: sHDLs composed with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (22A-DMPC) most effectively neutralizes LPS, inhibits toll-like receptor 4 recruitment into lipid rafts, suppresses nuclear factor κB signaling and promotes activating transcription factor 3 activating. The lethal endotoxemia animal model showed the protective effects of 22A-DMPC. Conclusion: Phospholipid components affect the stability and fluidity of nanodiscs, impacting the anti-septic efficacy of sHDLs. 22A-DMPC presents the strongest LPS binding and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a potential sepsis treatment.
