- 2.2. The secreted lipoprotein was incubated with five kinds of liposomes and a HDL-like particle was formed in the presence of BSA only when l-α-dimyristoyl lecithin liposome was used.
- 3.3. In the presence of 3% BSA, apo AI, proapo AI, apo AII and apo C of the secreted lipoprotein were transferred to the l-α-dimyristoyl lecithin liposome and a HDL-like particle was formed.
- 4.4. The secreted lipoprotein was hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase and a HDL-like particle formed after hydrolysis contained no triglyceride and had phospholipid as its main lipid.

Serum opacity factor from Streptococcus pyogenes transfers the cholesteryl esters (CE) of approximately 100,000 plasma high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL) to a CE-rich microemulsion (CERM) while forming neo HDL, a cholesterol-poor HDL-like particle. HDL, neo HDL, and CERM are distinct. Neo HDL is lower in free cholesterol and has lower surface and total microviscosities than HDL; the surface polarity of neo HDL and HDL are similar. CERM is much larger than HDL and richer in cholesterol and CE. Although the surface microviscosity of HDL is higher than that of CERM, they have similar total microviscosities because cholesterol partitions into the neutral lipid core. Because of its unique surface properties apo E preferentially associates with the CERM. In contrast, the composition and properties of neo HDL make it a potential acceptor of cellular cholesterol and its esterification. Thus, neo HDL and CERM are possible vehicles for improving cholesterol transport to the liver. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoform-dependent lipid release from astrocytes prepared from human ApoE3 and ApoE4 knock-in mice 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have reported previously (Michikawa, M., Fan, Q.-W., Isobe, I., and Yanagisawa, K. (2000) J. Neurochem. 74, 1008-1016) that exogenously added recombinant human apolipoprotein E (apoE) promotes cholesterol release in an isoform-dependent manner. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this isoform-dependent promotion of cholesterol release remains undetermined. In this study, we demonstrate that the cholesterol release is mediated by endogenously synthesized and secreted apoE isoforms and clarify the mechanism underlying this apoE isoform-dependent cholesterol release using cultured astrocytes prepared from human apoE3 and apoE4 knock-in mice. Cholesterol and phospholipids were released into the culture media, resulting in the generation of two types of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-like particles; one was associated with apoE and the other with apoJ. The amount of cholesterol released into the culture media from the apoE3-expressing astrocytes was approximately 2.5-fold greater than that from apoE4-expressing astrocytes. In contrast, the amount of apoE3 released in association with the HDL-like particles was similar to that of apoE4, and the sizes of the HDL-like particles released from apoE3- and apoE4-expressing astrocytes were similar. The molar ratios of cholesterol to apoE in the HDL fraction of the culture media of apoE3- and apoE4-expressing astrocytes were 250 +/- 6.0 and 119 +/- 5.1, respectively. These data indicate that apoE3 has an ability to generate similarly sized lipid particles with less number of apoE molecules than apoE4, suggesting that apoE3-expressing astrocytes can supply more cholesterol to neurons than apoE4-expressing astrocytes. These findings provide a new insight into the issue concerning the putative alteration of apoE-related cholesterol metabolism in Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

Serum opacity factor unmasks human plasma high-density lipoprotein instability via selective delipidation and apolipoprotein A-I desorption 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Human plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are important vehicles in reverse cholesterol transport, the cardioprotective mechanism by which peripheral tissue-cholesterol is transported to the liver for disposal. HDL is the target of serum opacity factor (SOF), a substance produced by Streptococcus pyogenes that turns mammalian serum cloudy. Using a recombinant (r) SOF, we studied opacification and its mechanism. rSOF catalyzes the partial disproportionation of HDL into a cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsion (CERM) and a new HDL-like particle, neo HDL, with the concomitant release of lipid-free (LF)-apo A-I. Opacification is unique; rSOF transfers apo E and nearly all neutral lipids of approximately 100,000 HDL particles into a single large CERM whose size increases with HDL-CE content (r approximately 100-250 nm) leaving a neo HDL that is enriched in PL (41%) and protein (48%), especially apo A-II. rSOF is potent; within 30 min at 37 degrees C, 10 nM rSOF opacifies 4 microM HDL. At respective low and high physiological HDL concentrations, LF-apo A-I is monomeric and tetrameric. CERM formation and apo A-I release have similar kinetics suggesting parallel or rapid sequential steps. According to the reaction products and kinetics, rSOF is a heterodivalent fusogenic protein that uses a docking site to displace apo A-I and bind to exposed CE surfaces on HDL; the resulting rSOF-HDL complex recruits additional HDL with its binding-delipidation site and through multiple fusion steps forms a CERM. rSOF may be a clinically useful and novel modality for improving reverse cholesterol transport. With apo E and a high CE content, CERM could transfer large amounts of cholesterol to the liver for disposal via the LDL receptor; neo HDL is likely a better acceptor of cellular cholesterol than HDL; LF-apo A-I could enhance efflux via the ATP-binding casette transporter ABCA1. 相似文献

Interaction of apolipoprotein A-II with recombinant HDL containing egg phosphatidylcholine, unesterified cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The preparation of discoidal, recombinant HDL (r-HDL) containing various phospholipids, apolipoproteins and a range of concentrations of unesterified cholesterol has been reported by several investigators. The present study describes the preparation of r-HDL containing both apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apo A-II. r-HDL with 100:1 (mol:mol) egg PC.apo A-I and 0 (Series I), 5 (Series II) or 10 (Series III) mol% unesterified cholesterol were prepared by the cholate dialysis method. The resulting complexes had a Stokes' radius of 4.7 nm and contained two molecules of apo A-I per particle. When the r-HDL (2.0 mg apo A-I) were supplemented with 1.0 mg of apo A-II, one of the apo A-I molecules was replaced by two molecules of apo A-II. This modification was not accompanied by a loss of phospholipid, nor by major change in particle size. The addition of 2.5 or 4.0 mg of apo A-II resulted in the displacement of both apo A-I molecules from a proportion of the r-HDL and the formation of smaller particles (Stokes' radius 3.9 nm), which contained half the original number of egg PC molecules and three molecules of apo A-II. The amount of apo A-I displaced was dependent on the concentration of unesterified cholesterol in the r-HDL: when 2.5 mg of apo A-II was added to the Series I, II and III r-HDL, 44, 60 and 70%, respectively, of the apo A-I was displaced. Addition of 4.0 mg of apo A-II did not promote further displacement of apo A-I from any of the r-HDL. By contrast, the association of apo A-II with r-HDL was independent of the concentration of unesterified cholesterol and was a linear function of the amount of apo A-II which had been added. It is concluded that (1), the structural integrity of egg PC.unesterified cholesterol.apo A-I r-HDL, which contain two molecules of apo A-I, is not affected when one of the apo A-I molecules is replaced by two molecules of apo A-II; (2), when both apo A-I molecules are replaced by apo A-II, small particles which contain three molecules of apo A-II are formed; and (3), the displacement of apo A-I from r-HDL is facilitated by the presence of unesterified cholesterol in the particles. 相似文献

The distribution of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I between human high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and water is an important component of reverse cholesterol transport and the atheroprotective effects of HDL. Chaotropic perturbation (CP) with guanidinium chloride (Gdm-Cl) reveals HDL instability by inducing the unfolding and transfer of apo A-I but not apo A-II into the aqueous phase while forming larger apo A-I deficient HDL-like particles and small amounts of cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions (CERMs). Our kinetic and hydrodynamic studies of the CP of HDL species separated according to size and density show that (1) CP mediated an increase in HDL size, which involves quasi-fusion of surface and core lipids, and release of lipid-free apo A-I (these processes correlate linearly), (2) >94% of the HDL lipids remain with an apo A-I deficient particle, (3) apo A-II remains associated with a very stable HDL-like particle even at high levels of Gdm-Cl, and (4) apo A-I unfolding and transfer from HDL to water vary among HDL subfractions with the larger and more buoyant species exhibiting greater stability. Our data indicate that apo A-I's on small HDL (HDL-S) are highly dynamic and, relative to apo A-I on the larger more mature HDL, partition more readily into the aqueous phase, where they initiate the formation of new HDL species. Our data suggest that the greater instability of HDL-S generates free apo A-I and an apo A-I deficient HDL-S that readily fuses with the more stable HDL-L. Thus, the presence of HDL-L drives the CP remodeling of HDL to an equilibrium with even larger HDL-L and more lipid-free apo A-I than with either HDL-L or HDL-S alone. Moreover, according to dilution studies of HDL in 3 M Gdm-Cl, CP of HDL fits a model of apo A-I partitioning between HDL phospholipids and water that is controlled by the principal of opposing forces. These findings suggest that the size and relative amount of HDL lipid determine the HDL stability and the fraction of apo A-I that partitions into the aqueous phase where it is destined for interaction with ABCA1 transporters, thereby initiating reverse cholesterol transport or, alternatively, renal clearance. 相似文献

Morphological and biochemical experiments were carried out to investigate the interaction of human serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) with mouse peritoneal macrophages. It is demonstrated that resident mouse peritoneal macrophages express HDL receptors. Subsequent to receptor-mediated binding, HDL are internalized and intracellularly transported into endosomes. These endosomes do not fuse with the lysosomal compartment but interact with the margin of intracellular plasma lipid droplets. Macrophages do not degrade, but rather resecrete internalized HDL particles as described for the transferrin-receptor pathway. HDL binding to freshly isolated macrophages is saturable at a concentration of approximately 320 ng HDL-protein/mg cell protein and a Scatchard plot indicates the presence of some 130 000-190 000 receptors/cell with a Kd of approximately 9 X 10(-7) M. Binding of HDL on the macrophage surface is significantly enhanced in cholesterol-laden macrophages, whereas the increase in the rate of uptake and secretion is less pronounced. Within the HDL fraction the HDL2 subclass showed higher binding, uptake and secretion activity as compared with HDL3. From these experimental data we postulate that cholesterol uptake from macrophages is mediated by HDL particles which interact with these cells via a receptor-mediated retroendocytosis pathway. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the human apolipoprotein A-I gene linked to the human metallothionein gene promoter region secrete large quantities of apolipoprotein A-I (7.1 +/- 0.4% total secreted protein) in the presence of zinc. Approx. 16% of the secreted apolipoprotein A-I is complexed with lipid and can be isolated ultracentrifugally at d less than or equal to 1.21 g/ml. The latter complexes are composed of discs and vesicles as judged by electron microscopy and can be further separated by column chromatography into three fractions: fraction I, mostly vesicles (60-260 nm) and large discs (18-20 nm diameter); fraction II, discs 14.2 +/- 2.6 nm diameter; and fraction III, nonresolvable by electron microscopy. The latter fraction is extremely lipid-poor (94% protein, 6% phospholipid); in contrast, the protein, phospholipid and unesterified cholesterol content for the other fractions are 43, 33 and 24%, respectively, for fraction I and 53, 33 and 14%, respectively, for fraction II. Fraction II particles contain three and four apolipoprotein A-Is per particle as determined by protein crosslinking while large structures in fraction I contain primarily six to seven apolipoprotein A-Is per particle. Following incubation with purified lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase, discoidal particles were transformed into apparent spherical particles 12.9 +/- 3.4 nm diameter; this transformation coincided with 19-21% conversion of unesterified cholesterol to esterified cholesterol. The apolipoprotein A-I-lipid complexes isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cell media are similar to nascent HDL found in plasma of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase-deficient patients and those secreted by the human hepatoma line, Hep G2. The ability of the Chinese hamster ovary cell nascent HDL-like particles to undergo transformation in the presence of purified lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase indicates that they are functional particles. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein (apo) A-I-containing lipoproteins can be separated into two subfractions, pre-beta HDL and alpha HDL (high density lipoproteins), based on differences in their electrophoretic mobility. In this report we present results indicating that these two subfractions are metabolically linked. When plasma was incubated for 2 h at 37 degrees C, apoA-I mass with pre-beta electrophoretic mobility disappeared. This shift in apoA-I mass to alpha electrophoretic mobility was blocked by the addition of either 1.4 mM DTNB or 10 mM menthol to the plasma prior to incubation, suggesting that lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was involved. There was no change in the electrophoretic mobility of either pre-beta HDL or alpha HDL when they were incubated with cholesterol-loaded fibroblasts. However, after exposure to the fibroblasts, the cholesterol content of the pre-beta HDL did increase approximately sixfold, suggesting that pre-beta HDL can associate with appreciable amounts of cellular cholesterol. Pre-beta HDL-like particles appear to be generated by the incubation of alpha HDL with cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and either very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) or low density lipoproteins (LDL). This generation of pre-beta HDL-like particles was documented both by immunoelectrophoresis and by molecular sieve chromatography. Based on these findings, we propose a cyclical model in which 1) apoA-I mass moves from pre-beta HDL to alpha HDL in connection with the action of LCAT and the generation of cholesteryl esters within the HDL, and 2) apoA-I moves from alpha HDL to pre-beta HDL in connection with the action of CETP and the movement of cholesteryl esters out of the HDL. Additionally, we propose that the relative plasma concentrations of pre-beta HDL and alpha HDL reflect the movement of cholesteryl esters through the HDL. Conditions that result in the accumulation of HDL cholesteryl esters will be associated with low concentrations of pre-beta HDL, whereas conditions that result in the depletion of HDL cholesteryl esters will be associated with elevated concentrations of pre-beta HDL. This postulate is consistent with published findings in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and LCAT deficiency. 相似文献

High-density lipoprotein particle uptake and selective uptake of high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters by J774 macrophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl esters are taken up by fibroblasts via HDL particle uptake and via selective uptake, i.e., cholesteryl ester uptake independent of HDL particle uptake. In the present study we investigated HDL selective uptake and HDL particle uptake by J774 macrophages. HDL3 (d = 1.125-1.21 g/ml) was labeled with intracellularly trapped tracers: 125I-labeled N-methyltyramine-cellobiose-apo A-I (125I-NMTC-apo A-I) to trace apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) and [3H]cholesteryl oleyl ether to trace cholesteryl esters. J774 macrophages, incubated at 37 degrees C in medium containing doubly labeled HDL3, took up 125I-NMTC-apo A-I, indicating HDL3 particle uptake (102.7 ng HDL3 protein/mg cell protein per 4 h at 20 micrograms/ml HDL3 protein). Apparent HDL3 uptake according to the uptake of [3H]cholesteryl oleyl ether (470.4 ng HDL3 protein/mg cell protein per 4 h at 20 micrograms/ml HDL3 protein) was in significant excess on 125I-NMTC-apo A-I uptake, i.e., J774 macrophages demonstrated selective uptake of HDL3 cholesteryl esters. To investigate regulation of HDL3 uptake, cell cholesterol was modified by preincubation with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or acetylated LDL (acetyl-LDL). Afterwards, uptake of doubly labeled HDL3, LDL (apo B,E) receptor activity or cholesterol mass were determined. Preincubation with LDL or acetyl-LDL increased cell cholesterol up to approx. 3.5-fold over basal levels. Increased cell cholesterol had no effect on HDL3 particle uptake. In contrast, LDL- and acetyl-LDL-loading decreased selective uptake (apparent uptake 606 vs. 366 ng HDL3 protein/mg cell protein per 4 h in unloaded versus acetyl-LDL-loaded cells at 20 micrograms HDL3 protein/ml). In parallel with decreased selective uptake, specific 125I-LDL degradation was down-regulated. Using heparin as well as excess unlabeled LDL, it was shown that HDL3 uptake is independent of LDL (apo B,E) receptors. In summary, J774 macrophages take up HDL3 particles. In addition, J774 cells also selectively take up HDL3-associated cholesteryl esters. HDL3 selective uptake, but not HDL3 particle uptake, can be regulated. 相似文献

The secretion of newly synthesized apolipoprotein E (apo E) by human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMD macrophages) was measured in the medium of cells which had been incubated for 24 h with or without either native or acetylated low-density lipoproteins (LDL or AcLDL, respectively), and subsequently with [35S]methionine in the presence of high-density lipoproteins (HDL, 350 micrograms/ml) for 24 h, by isolating the lipoprotein fraction by centrifugation for 48 h at a density adjusted with KBr to 1.21 g/ml (d = 1.21). The d less than 1.21 medium was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) or precipitation with trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Fluorography of the gels demonstrated that the d less than 1.21 fraction of the medium contained one major labeled band, which migrated with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 35,000. Immunoprecipitation of the d less than 1.21 fraction showed that the labeled band was precipitated by anti-apo E, but not by anti-HDL. As the apo E band appeared to be the only labeled band in the d less than 1.21 fraction, the amount of apo E secreted by the cells was quantitated by scintillation counting of the TCA-precipitable radioactivity in the d less than 1.21 fraction as compared with that in the whole medium. The proportion of secreted apo E to the total secreted protein was similar whether the cells had been in culture for 3 or 16 days, but was increased if the cells had been incubated with LDL or AcLDL. The proportion of apo E of the secreted proteins was always more than 6% and was as much as 16% when the cells were preincubated with lipoproteins, suggesting that the increased cholesterol influx induced apo E secretion. 相似文献

Composition of central nervous system lipoproteins affects the metabolism of lipoprotein constituents within the brain. The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease via an unknown mechanism(s). As glia are the primary central nervous system cell type that synthesize apoE, we characterized lipoproteins secreted by astrocytes from wild type (WT), apoE (-/-), and apoE transgenic mice expressing human apoE3 or apoE4 in a mouse apoE (-/-) background. Nondenaturing size exclusion chromatography demonstrates that WT, apoE3, and apoE4 astrocytes secrete particles the size of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) composed of phospholipid, free cholesterol, and protein, primarily apoE and apoJ. However, the lipid:apoE ratio of particles containing human apoE is significantly lower than WT. ApoE localizes across HDL-like particle sizes. ApoJ localizes to the smallest HDL-like particles. ApoE (-/-) astrocytes secrete little phospholipid or free cholesterol despite comparable apoJ expression, suggesting that apoE is required for normal secretion of astrocyte lipoproteins. Further, particles were not detected in apoE (-/-) samples by electron microscopy. Nondenaturing immunoprecipitation experiments indicate that apoE and apoJ reside predominantly on distinct particles. These studies suggest that apoE expression influences the unique structure of astrocyte lipoproteins, a process further modified by apoE species. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptides have been pursued as new therapeutic agents for the treatment of atherosclerosis, yet their precise mechanism responsible for atheroprotection remains unclear. Like apoA-I itself, most of these peptides are capable of stimulating cholesterol efflux from macrophages or foam cells, and some of them stimulate lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway. However, the ability of mimetic peptides to deliver cholesterol into hepatocytes (off-loading), the last step of the RCT pathway, has not been demonstrated. In this study, we compared a mimetic peptide D-4F to purified apoA-I, to address the role that mimetics play during the off-loading process. Both D-4F and apoA-I formed spherical nano-particles when reconstituted with cholesteryl ester and phospholipids. Compared to apoA-I, D-4F particles were 20 times more efficient in off-loading cholesterol to HepG2 hepatocytes with an apparent Kt (transport) of 0.74 μg/mL. Furthermore, D-4F also facilitated cholesteryl ester offloading from HDL particles into HepG2 cells when it was pre-incubated with these HDL particles. Using an inducible HEK293 cell line, we demonstrated that these nano-particles were able to be taken up through SR-BI, a HDL selective receptor. Cholesterol uptake by HepG2 cells was completely blocked by a neutralizing monoclonal antibody against SR-BI, demonstrating that D-4F particles, similar to HDL, specifically off-loaded cholesterol through SR-BI. Overall our data provides evidence that D-4F is capable of mimicking apoA-I to form HDL-like particles, and off-loads cholesterol for catabolism and excretion, thus completing RCT. 相似文献

The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the efflux of cellular unesterified cholesterol and phospholipid to lipid-poor apolipoprotein A-I. Chymase, a protease secreted by mast cells, selectively cleaves pre-beta-migrating particles from high density lipoprotein (HDL)(3) and reduces the efflux of cholesterol from macrophages. To evaluate whether this effect is the result of reduction of ABCA1-dependent or -independent pathways of cholesterol efflux, in this study we examined the efflux of cholesterol to preparations of chymase-treated HDL(3) in two types of cell: 1) in J774 murine macrophages endogenously expressing low levels of scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI), and high levels of ABCA1 upon treatment with cAMP; and 2) in Fu5AH rat hepatoma cells endogenously expressing high levels of the SR-BI and low levels of ABCA1. Treatment of HDL(3) with the human chymase resulted in rapid depletion of pre-beta-HDL and a concomitant decrease in the efflux of cholesterol and phospholipid (2-fold and 3-fold, respectively) from the ABCA1-expressing J774 cells. In contrast, efflux of free cholesterol from Fu5AH to chymase-treated and to untreated HDL(3) was similar. Incubation of HDL(3) with phospholipid transfer protein led to an increase in pre-beta-HDL contents as well as in ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux. A decreased cholesterol efflux to untreated HDL(3) but not to chymase-treated HDL(3) was observed in ABCA1-expressing J774 with probucol, an inhibitor of cholesterol efflux to lipid-poor apoA-I. Similar results were obtained using brefeldin and gliburide, two inhibitors of ABCA1-mediated efflux. These results indicate that chymase treatment of HDL(3) specifically impairs the ABCA1-dependent pathway without influencing either aqueous or SR-BI-facilitated diffusion and that this effect is caused by depletion of lipid-poor pre-beta-migrating particles in HDL(3). Our results are compatible with the view that HDL(3) promotes ABCA1-mediated lipid efflux entirely through its lipid-poor fraction with pre-beta mobility. 相似文献

The pre-β HDL fraction constitutes a heterogeneous population of discoid nascent HDL particles. They transport from 1 to 25 % of total human plasma apo A-I. Pre-β HDL particles are generated de novo by interaction between ABCA1 transporters and monomolecular lipid-free apo A-I. Most probably, the binding of apo A-I to ABCA1 initiates the generation of the phospholipid-apo A-I complex which induces free cholesterol efflux. The lipid-poor nascent pre-β HDL particle associates with more lipids through exposure to the ABCG1 transporter and apo M. The maturation of pre-β HDL into the spherical α-HDL containing apo A-I is mediated by LCAT, which esterifies free cholesterol and thereby forms a hydrophobic core of the lipoprotein particle. LCAT is also a key factor in promoting the formation of the HDL particle containing apo A-I and apo A-II by fusion of the spherical α-HDL containing apo A-I and the nascent discoid HDL containing apo A-II. The plasma remodelling of mature HDL particles by lipid transfer proteins and hepatic lipase causes the dissociation of lipid-free/lipid-poor apo A-I, which can either interact with ABCA1 transporters and be incorporated back into pre-existing HDL particles, or eventually be catabolized in the kidney. The formation of pre-β HDL and the cycling of apo A-I between the pre-β and α-HDL particles are thought to be crucial mechanisms of reverse cholesterol transport and the expression of ABCA1 in macrophages may play a main role in the protection against atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The primary objectives of this study were to determine whether analogs to native discoidal apolipoprotein (apo)E-containing high-density lipoproteins (HDL) could be prepared in vitro, and if so, whether their conversion by lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT; EC 2.3.1.43) produced particles with properties comparable to those of core-containing, spherical, apoE-containing HDL in human plasma. Complexes composed of apoE and POPC, without and with incorporated unesterified cholesterol, were prepared by the cholate-dialysis technique. Gradient gel electrophoresis showed that these preparations contain discrete species both within (14-40 nm) and outside (10.8-14 nm) the size range of discoidal apoE-containing HDL reported in LCAT deficiency. The isolated complexes were discoidal particles whose size directly correlated with their POPC:apoE molar ratio: increasing this ratio resulted in an increase in larger complexes and a reduction in smaller ones. At all POPC:apoE molar ratios, size profiles included a major peak corresponding to a discoidal complex 14.4 nm long. Preparations with POPC:apoE molar ratios greater than 150:1 contained two distinct groups of complexes, also in the size range of discoidal apoE-containing HDL from patients with LCAT deficiency. Incorporation of unesterified cholesterol into preparations (molar ratio of 0.5:1, unesterified cholesterol:POPC) resulted in component profiles exhibiting a major peak corresponding to a discoidal complex 10.9 nm long. An increase of unesterified cholesterol and POPC (at the 0.5:1 molar ratio) in the initial mixture, increased the proportion of larger complexes in the profile. Incubation of isolated POPC-apoE discoidal complexes (mean sizes, 14.4 and 23.9 nm) with purified LCAT and a source of unesterified cholesterol converted the complexes to spherical, cholesteryl ester-containing products with mean diameters of 11.1 nm and 14.0 nm, corresponding to apoE-containing HDL found in normal plasma. Conversion of smaller cholesterol-containing discoidal complexes (mean size, 10.9 nm) under identical conditions resulted in spherical products 11.3, 13.3, and 14.7 nm across. The mean sizes of these conversion products compared favorably with those (mean diameter, 12.3 nm) of apoE-containing HDL of human plasma. This conversion of cholesterol-containing complexes is accompanied by a shift of some apoE to the LDL particle size interval. Our study indicates that apoE-containing complexes formed by the cholate-dialysis method include species similar to discoidal apoE-containing HDL and that incubation with LCAT converts most of them to spherical core-containing particles in the size range of plasma apoE-containing HDL. Plasma HDL particles containing apoE may arise in part from direct conversion of discoidal apoE-containing HDL by LCAT. 相似文献

ABCA1 is required for normal central nervous system ApoE levels and for lipidation of astrocyte-secreted apoE 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

ABCA1 is an ATP-binding cassette protein that transports cellular cholesterol and phospholipids onto high density lipoproteins (HDL) in plasma. Lack of ABCA1 in humans and mice causes abnormal lipidation and increased catabolism of HDL, resulting in very low plasma apoA-I, apoA-II, and HDL. Herein, we have used Abca1-/- mice to ask whether ABCA1 is involved in lipidation of HDL in the central nervous system (CNS). ApoE is the most abundant CNS apolipoprotein and is present in HDL-like lipoproteins in CSF. We found that Abca1-/- mice have greatly decreased apoE levels in both the cortex (80% reduction) and the CSF (98% reduction). CSF from Abca1-/- mice had significantly reduced cholesterol as well as small apoE-containing lipoproteins, suggesting abnormal lipidation of apoE. Astrocytes, the primary producer of CNS apoE, were cultured from Abca1+/+, +/-, and -/- mice, and nascent lipoprotein particles were collected. Abca1-/- astrocytes secreted lipoprotein particles that had markedly decreased cholesterol and apoE and had smaller apoE-containing particles than particles from Abca1+/+ astrocytes. These findings demonstrate that ABCA1 plays a critical role in CNS apoE metabolism. Since apoE isoforms and levels strongly influence Alzheimer's disease pathology and risk, these data suggest that ABCA1 may be a novel therapeutic target. 相似文献

We have demonstrated previously that HDL-mediated efflux of plasma membrane cholesterol is independent of specific binding of apolipoproteins to the high density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor in either control or cholesterol-enriched cells (Karlin, J. B., Johnson, W. J., Benedict, C. R., Chacko, G. K., Phillips, M. C., and Rothblat, G. H. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 12557-12564 and Johnson, W. J., Mahlberg, F. H., Chacko, G. K., Phillips, M. C., and Rothblat, G. H. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14099-14106). The present studies were conducted to determine if the process for removal of intracellular (lysosomal) cholesterol is similar to that of membrane cholesterol or if, in contrast, it is selectively regulated by specific apolipoproteins of HDL. For these reasons, we examined the influence of each of the major apolipoproteins of human HDL, apoAI, apoAII, and apoCs on the metabolism of membrane and lysosomal cholesterol in a macrophage foam cell model. We developed an experimental system which allows, for the first time, the simultaneous determination of lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester and efflux and esterification of both lysosomal and membrane cholesterol. J774 and elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages were loaded with cholesteryl ester within lysosomes through phagocytosis of sonicated lipid droplets. Membrane and lysosomal pools of cholesterol were differentially radiolabeled. Discoidal complexes of egg phosphatidylcholine and purified apolipoproteins having a similar size and composition were used as cholesterol acceptors. Our results demonstrate that lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester is independent of the presence of extracellular acceptors. Lysosomal production of cholesterol stimulates the esterification by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase of membrane and lysosomal cholesterol. All the particles tested induce the efflux of both pools of cholesterol at a similar ratio. As efflux is stimulated, esterification by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase is reduced. We conclude that none of these apolipoproteins selectively influences the efflux or the esterification of membrane of lysosomal cholesterol. In addition, we observe that particles containing apoAI are the most efficient acceptors, but this effect is not linked to specific binding to the HDL receptor. 相似文献

Interaction between high density lipoproteins (HDL) and liposomes results in both a structural modification of HDL and the generation of new pre-β HDL-like particles. Here, phosphatidylcholine liposomes and human HDL were incubated at liposomal phospholipid/HDL phospholipid (L-PL/HDL-PL) ratios of 1:1, 3:1 and 5:1 with a subsequent assessment of the distribution of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apo A-II, free cholesterol (FC) and PL between newly generated pre-β mobility lipoproteins and non-disrupted liposomes. Both at L-PL/HDL-PL ratios of 3:1 and 5:1 the fraction of liposomal-derived PL associated with pre-β fraction was significantly higher than those accepted by α-HDL. We found that 78% of apo A-I released from HDL was incorporated into pre-β mobility fraction. The relative contents of PL and apo A-I in pre-β fraction were constant irrespective of the initial L-PL/HDL-PL ratio in the incubation mixture and accounted for approximately 83 and 11%, respectively. Apo A-II was detached from HDL to a similar extent as apo A-I and distributed evenly between pre-β fraction and non-disrupted liposomes. Apo A-II constituted approximately 1%, by weight, in these fractions at all L-PL/HDL-PL ratios investigated. It corresponded approximately to 10% of pre-β fraction protein mass. Both liposomes and pre-β fraction accepted comparable amounts of FC released from HDL. This data indicated that during the interaction between human HDL and phosphatidylcholine liposome apo A-II participates both in structural modification of liposomes and in the generation of pre-β mobility fraction of constant content of PL, apo A-I and apo A-II. Involvement of apo A-II in HDL–liposome interaction may influence the anti-atherogenic properties of liposomes. 相似文献

Selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters and cholesterol efflux from mouse peritoneal macrophages independent of SR-BI 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters (CEs) and facilitates the efflux of unesterified cholesterol. SR-BI expression in macrophages presumably plays a role in atherosclerosis. The role of SR-BI for selective CE uptake and cholesterol efflux in macrophages was explored. Macrophages and HDL originated from wild-type (WT) or SR-BI knockout (KO; homozygous) mice. For uptake, macrophages were incubated in medium containing 125I-/3H-labeled HDL. For lipid removal, [3H]cholesterol efflux was analyzed using HDL as acceptor. Selective uptake of HDL CE ([3H]cholesteryl oleyl ether - 125I-tyramine cellobiose) was similar in WT and SR-BI KO macrophages. Radiolabeled SR-BI KO-HDL yielded a lower rate of selective uptake compared with WT-HDL in WT and SR-BI KO macrophages. Cholesterol efflux was similar in WT and SR-BI KO cells using HDL as acceptor. SR-BI KO-HDL more efficiently promoted cholesterol removal compared with WT-HDL from both types of macrophages. Macrophages selectively take up HDL CE independently of SR-BI. Additionally, in macrophages, there is substantial cholesterol efflux that is not mediated by SR-BI. Therefore, SR-BI-independent mechanisms mediate selective CE uptake and cholesterol removal. SR-BI KO-HDL is an inferior donor for selective CE uptake compared with WT-HDL, whereas SR-BI KO-HDL more efficiently promotes cholesterol efflux. 相似文献
