1. Lipoproteins were measured in sera from 11 young women having a similar environment and diet. Sera were obtained at weekly intervals over a 12-week period. The values of the lipoproteins during periods in the normal ovulatory cycle were compared to assess their relation to reported hormone concentrations in blood. 2. Only the 4–0sf (HDL2) (d 1·125 sodium chloride) fraction changed significantly; it increased at ovulation in ten of the 11 subjects and fell as menstruation approached. 3. There was greater variability in most of the low-density rather than the high-density lipoproteins within individuals. The lipoprotein class most characteristic for an individual was the 4–0sf or HDL2 fraction. 相似文献

Gangliosides of normal and neoplastic human melanocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The major ganglioside component isolated from diploid human melanocytes is sialosyllactosylceramide (GM3 86-91% of total sialic acid). The corresponding disialo derivative (GD3) is found as a minor component (2-6% of total sialic acid) in the membranes of these cells. In human melanoma cells, grown in tissue culture, GD3 is the predominant ganglioside component (48-63% of total sialic acid). Withdrawal of TPA from the culture medium of normal melanocytes or addition of TPA to the medium of melanoma cells had no significant effect on GM3/GD3 ratios. We conclude that the difference between the composition of gangliosides is related to the normal vs transformed phenotypes of melanocytes. 相似文献

The effects of malignancy upon blood serum ganglioside patterns were investigated. Lipids extracted from the blood serum of Morris hepatoma 5123tc-bearing rats were characterized by severalfold increases in the content of hematosides, monosialogangliosides and disialogangliosides, as compared with lipids extracted from the serum of normal rats. However, the content of trisialogangliosides in lipids extracted from the serum of cancer-bearing rats substantially decreased. In general, the change in the profile of gangliosides in blood serum reflects, but is less pronounced, than that observed in the comparison of Morris hepatoma tissue to normal liver tissue. 相似文献

Five glycosphingolipids (GSL), glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, trihexosylceramide, globoside, and hematoside (GM3) were studied in serum from normal human subjects and patients with dyslipoproteinemia and found to be exclusively associated with the various classes of serum lipoproteins. Based on a unit weight of lipoprotein protein, the total amount of GSL in serum normal subjects was twice as high in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) (d less than 1.006 g/ml) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (d 1.019-1.063 g/ml) as in high density lipoproteins HDL2 (d 1.063-1.125 g/ml) or HDL3 (d 1.125-1.21 g/ml). In abetalipoproteinemia the levels of serum GSL were slightly reduced when compared to normal serum and were all found in the only existing lipoprotein, HDL; this contained 2-3 moles of GSL/ mole of lipoprotein as compared to 0.5 GSL/mole in normal HDL. In hypobetalipoproteinemia and Tangier disease, the serum glycosphingolipids were 10 to 30% reduced in concentration compared to the 75% reduction in other lipids, and were again found to be associated only with the serum lipoproteins. The relative proportions of GSL did not vary substantially in the normo- and hypolipidemic subjects studied. Only in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia was there a significant (3-4-fold) elevation of all of the five GSL species and this elevation of all of the five GSL species and this elevation correlated well with that of the circulating cholesterol and LDL. On a molar basis the LDL of these patients contained the same amount of GSL as normal subjects (5 moles GSL/mole protein). It is concluded that: (1) glycosphingolipids are associated only with the major lipoprotein classes in both normal and dyslipoproteinemic serum; (2) the relative proportions of the five glycosphingolipids are not significantly affected by dyslipoproteinemia; (3) only in severe hypolipoproteinemia do the remaining serum lipoproteins carry a complement of glycosphingolipids greater than normal. Although our results establish that glycosphingolipids are intimately associated with serum lipoproteins, the mode of association or the structural and functional significance of such an association remains undetermined. 相似文献

From the viscosity dependence of the 31P NMR signals, the diffusion coefficients DT of phospholipid molecules in the surface monolayer of HDL, LDL and VLDL have been determined. DT for HDL3 and HDL2 are found to be 2.3 X 10(-8) cm2/s and 1.8 X 10(-8) cm2/s, respectively. These values are similar to values reported for diffusion of phospholipid molecules in phospholipid bilayers above the gel to liquid crystalline phase transition temperature. Viscosity dependence of [16,16,16-2H3]phosphatidylcholine incorporated into HDL2 yielded a value similar to that determined by 31P (DT = 1.9 X 10(-8) cm2/s). Slower diffusion coefficients were measured for LDL2 and VLDL. VLDL had a value DT = 9.1 X 10(-9) cm2/s. The diffusion coefficient for LDL2 was 1.4 X 10(-9) cm2/s. Thus, diffusion of phospholipids in LDL2 is a full order of magnitude slower at 25 degrees C than diffusion of phospholipids in the HDLs. 相似文献

Incubation of plasma lipoproteins with rabbit hepatic microsomes enriched the microsomes with free cholesterol and stimulated cholesterol esterification. The rate of cholesterol esterification correlated well (r = 0.96) with the concentration of microsomal free cholesterol. Lipoproteins from normal and hypercholesterolemic serum varied in their propensity to stimulate cholesterol esterification. Among the normal lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins was more stimulatory than either high density lipoproteins or intermediate density lipoproteins. However, the intermediate density lipoproteins fraction from hypercholesterolemic serum was consistently more stimulatory than any of the normal lipoproteins. The augmentation of cholesterol content, when microsomes were exposed to mixed hyperlipidemic lipoproteins, was proportionately much greater than augementation of phospholipid or protein concentration. 相似文献

The highly malignant rat hepatoma 27 was found to have increased amounts of lipid-bound sialic acid as compared with normal liver whereas in regenerating liver the lipid-bound sialic acid level was reduced. In contrast to the liver the hepatoma contained higher amounts of disialogangliosides and no trisialogangliosides, which are abundant in the liver. The main disialoganglioside of the hepatoma had no analogue among the liver gangliosides and was identified as Gal-GalNAc(AcNeu-AcNeu)-Glc-Cer (GD1b), which in other tissues is known to be a precursor of trisialogangliosides. These findings may be explained by a reduced activity of glycosyltransferases in the hepatoma and apparently do not simply reflect differences in growth rate since the ganglioside pattern of regenerating rat liver was not altered significantly in comparison with the liver. Liver and hepatoma microsomes were found to be enriched in gangliosides as compared with whole cells, liver mitochondria were slightly poorer, while the ganglioside level of hepatoma mitochondria was much higher than that of the hepatoma cells. It thus appears that the existing image of the plasma membranes as the only sites of high ganglioside concentration may not hold true for weakly differentiated hepatomas of high malignancy. 相似文献

1. Concentration and composition of the "very low density lipoproteins" (VLDL), "low density lipoproteins" (LDL) and "high density lipoproteins" (HDL) and of non-floatable lipids of fetal rat serum (day 22 of pregnancy) were determined by ultracentrifugation, thin-layer chromatographic separation of the floated lipids and quantitation of the lipid and protein moiety. 2. The concentration of VLDL is in the fetal rat by one order of magnitude lower, and that of LDL, 5fold higher than in the adult animal; the concentration of HDL in fetal serum amounts to 60% of the value of adult animals. 3. The composition of LDL and HDL of fetal serum does not differ from that in the serum of adult animals; in contrast, the fetal VLDL have a higher proportion of protein and cholesterol and a lower proportion of triglycerides than the VLDL of adult serum. The electrophoretic mobility of the fetal VLDL is lower than that of adult VLDL. 相似文献

The ultraviolet B-induced destruction of tryptophan residues and lipid peroxidation of high-density lipoproteins is accompanied by the immediate and marked structural modification of the apolipoproteins, as revealed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot with specific monoclonal antibodies. Formation of several polymers of apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II or both apolipoproteins occurred, although apolipoprotein A-II did not contain any Trp residue. These results suggest that initial photochemical damage can be transferred via intramacromolecular processes to other sites within the same apolipoprotein and by intermacromolecular reactions from apolipoprotein A-I to other apolipoproteins. In both cases, lipid peroxidation enhances the propagation of the initial photochemical damage. The physiological significance of this work is discussed with respect to the low-light doses required for the alterations of the high-density lipoproteins. 相似文献

Some of the solution properties of pure preparations of human serum high-density apolipoprotein A-II were studied by sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation, conducted at different apoprotein concentrations and at several speeds. The concentration dependence of the apparent weight average molecular weight indicated that apolipoprotein A-II, when dissolved in 0.02 MEDTA (pH 8.6), undergoes self-association. Over a protein concentration range between 0.8 and 1.5 mg/ml, the self-association could best be described by a monomer-dimer-trimer step association, although indefinite self-association could not be ruled out. The equilibrium constants obtained were sufficient to describe the system over the concentration range investigated. 相似文献

Normal human serum or plasma was studied for the presence of inhibitors of cell proliferation by assaying inhibition of incorporation of labeled thymidine into acid-insoluble fraction using human FL cells. Lipoprotein fraction obtained by gel filtration through Sepharose 4B and by KBr density gradient centrifugation was found to play a major part of the inhibitory activity of the serum. It was also shown that the inhibitory activity resides in low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The addition of the lipoprotein fraction to growing FL cells caused an early decrease in the transport of uridine and thymidine across the membrane. This change in the permeability of membrane was followed by the preferential inhibition of DNA synthesis and a reduction in the percentage of mitotic cells in the cell population. The inhibition of the growth was reversible and was observed in various types of cells irrespective of species. 相似文献

Isolation and properties of lipoproteins from normal rat serum 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Three major classes of lipoproteins (VLDL, d <1.006; LDL, d 1.006-1.040; HDL, d 1.063-1.21) were isolated by ultracentrifugal flotation from the serum of normal male Sprague-Dawley rats. Their physical, chemical, and immunological properties were analyzed and compared with those of their water-soluble, essentially lipid-free derivatives. Studies were also carried out on the d > 1.21 fractions. Each product was found to have distinct characteristics, and this was also indicated by spectral analyses carried out by the techniques of circular dichroism and UV absorption spectroscopy. The results provided evidence for the mutual role of the protein and lipids in determining the structure, and perhaps the immunological specificity, of serum lipoproteins. 相似文献

Density gradient ultracentrifugation of human serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) from both normolipemic males and females results in a distribution of HDL concentration versus subfraction hydrated density which has three maxima. Gradient gel electrophoresis of total HDL is characterized by three banding maxima, the positions of which suggest the presence of three particle size ranges: I. 10.8-12.0 nm, II. 9.7-10.7 nm, and III. 8.5-9.6 nm. Gradient gel electrophoresis of density gradient subfractions established an inverse relationship between particle size and particle hydrated density which was corroborated by electron microscopy and analytic ultracentrifugation. Comparison of male HDL from size ranges I, II, and III with female HDL from the same size ranges showed only small differences in the mean value of the peak F degrees 1.20 rate, size, molecular weight, protein weight percent, and weight protein/weight phospholipid. Major differences between males and females were seen in the relative amounts of HDL in density gradient subfractions 1-3 (size range I material) and 11-12 (size range III material); the percent total HDL in the group of subfractions 1-3 was greatly increased in female HDL while that of the group of subfractions 11-12 was increased in the male HDL. These studies indicate the presence of at least three major components in HDL instead of two (HDL2 and HDL3) and that peak F degrees 1.20 rate differences in HDL schlieren patterns between males and females are a function of the relative levels of these three components. 相似文献

Evidence for high density lipoproteins as the major apolipoprotein A-IV-containing fraction in normal human serum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The distribution of human apolipoprotein A-IV was studied in sera from normolipidemic fasting subjects by high performance gel filtration on a Superose 12 HR column. The major part of apolipoprotein A-IV eluted in the range of the apolipoprotein A-I peak, and distributed mainly in the large-size high density lipoprotein subfractions. Only a small peak or a shoulder on the main fraction appeared in the elution volume of free apolipoprotein A-IV. To investigate the relation of apolipoprotein A-IV with high density lipoprotein particles, serum high density lipoproteins were precipitated by incubating human serum with anti-apolipoprotein A-I immunoglobulins. At optimal concentrations, inducing a precipitation of 90 to 95% of serum apolipoprotein A-I, about 70% of serum apolipoprotein A-IV was precipitated. It was concluded that, in fasting human serum, apolipoprotein A-IV was mainly associated with high density lipoprotein particles. This high degree of association to high density lipoproteins did not result from the known in vitro redistribution of apolipoprotein A-IV induced by lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase activity since it was observed in sera in the presence of inhibitors of this enzyme. The comparison of gel filtration profiles of total serum and of serum fractions separated by ultracentrifugation showed that the apolipoprotein A-IV-high density lipoprotein association was a weak one, easily dissociated by the ultracentrifugation process. The existence in fasting human serum of a predominant high density lipoprotein-associated form of apolipoprotein A-IV should stimulate more studies of the general function and metabolism of this protein. 相似文献
