Apolipoprotein and lipid distribution between vesicles and HDL-like particles formed during lipolysis of human very low density lipoproteins by perfused rat heart

SP Tam and WC Breckenridge

A study was undertaken to determine the relative association of lipid and apolipoproteins among lipoproteins produced during lipolysis of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) in perfused rat heart. Human VLDL was perfused through beating rat hearts along with various combinations of albumin (0.5%), HDL2, the infranatant of d greater than 1.08 g/ml of serum, and labeled sucrose. The products were resolved by gel filtration, ultracentrifugation, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The composition of the lipoprotein products was assessed by analysis of total lipid profiles by gas-liquid chromatography and immunoassay of apolipoproteins. A vesicle particle, which trapped and retained 1-2% of medium sucrose, co-isolated with VLDL and VLDL remnants by gel filtration chromatography but primarily with the low density lipoprotein (LDL) fraction when isolated by ultracentrifugation. The vesicle was resolved from apoB-containing LDL lipolysis products by hydroxylapatite chromatography of the lipoproteins. The vesicle lipoprotein contained unesterified cholesterol (34%), phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin (50%), cholesteryl ester (6%), triacylglycerol (5%), and apolipoprotein (5%). The apolipoprotein consisted of apoC-II (7%), apoC-III (93%), and trace amounts of apoE (1%). When viewed by electron microscopy the vesicles appeared as rouleaux structures with a diameter of 453 A, and a periodicity of 51.7 A. The mass represented by the vesicle particle in terms of the initial amount in VLDL was: cholesterol (5%), phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin (3%), apoC-II (0.5%), apoC-III (2.2%). The majority of the apoC and E released from apoB-containing lipoproteins was associated with neutral-lipid core lipoproteins proteins which possessed size characteristics of HDL. The vesicles were also formed in the presence of HDL and serum and were not disrupted by serum HDL. It is concluded that lipolysis of VLDL in vitro results in the production of VLDL remnants and LDL apoB-containing lipoproteins, as well as HDL- like lipoproteins. A vesicular lipoprotein which has many characteristics of lipoprotein X found in cholestasis, lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency, and during Intralipid infusion is also formed. The majority of apolipoprotein C and E released from apoB-containing lipoproteins is associated with the HDL-like lipoprotein. It is suggested that the formation and stability of the vesicle lipoprotein may be related to the high ratio of cholesterol/phospholipid in this particle.
