Preparative isotachophoresis (ITP) was used for the fractionation of fasting and postprandial high density lipoproteins (HDL) according to their net charge in the absence of molecular sieve effects. Three major HDL subpopulations with fast, intermediate, and slow mobility have been recognized. Particle size analysis by gradient gel electrophoresis has shown that in the fast-migrating subpopulation particles dominate with a size of HDL3a and HDL2b. The subpopulation with intermediate mobility contains particles with a size between HDL2a and HDL3b, while in the slow migrating subpopulation particles dominate with a size of HDL2b, HDL3a, and HDL3c. The fast-migrating subpopulation is rich in apoA-I and phosphatidylcholine. The particles of this fraction bind at 4 degrees C to HDL receptors on macrophages with high affinity (KD = 7.71 micrograms/ml; Bmax = 245.6 ng). The subpopulations with intermediate mobility is rich in apoA-II, apoE, C apolipoproteins, cholesteryl esters, and sphingomyelin. Its affinity to HDL receptors (KD = 17.7 micrograms/ml; Bmax = 198.4 ng) is lower than that of the HDL particles in the fast-migrating subfraction. The slow-migrating subpopulation consists of particles rich in apoA-IV and is associated with a high LCAT activity. This fraction expresses the highest nonspecific binding to mouse peritoneal macrophages compared to the other HDL fractions and contains only a small amount of particles that interact with HDL receptors by high affinity binding (KD = 7.3 micrograms/ml; Bmax = 95.9 ng). In 37 degrees C binding experiments the fast-migrating subfraction reveals the highest total cell-associated activity. 72% of which is trypsin-resistant. The other subfractions express a lower total cell- associated activity and 45% of the activity of the intermediate- and 43% of the activity of the slow-migrating fraction is trypsin- sensitive. When the HDL fractions are isolated from postprandial sera of the same donor, the fast-migrating particles bind at 4 degrees C with a higher affinity (KD = 4.6 micrograms/ml) while no significant changes are observed in the intermediate- and slow-migrating subpopulations. The slow- and the fast-migrating HDL subpopulations isolated from fasting serum have a high capacity to promote cholesterol removal from macrophages. We hypothesize that the HDL subpopulations rich in apoA-I promote cholesterol removal predominantly via the interaction with HDL receptors, while apoA-IV-rich HDL particles receive their driving force for cholesterol efflux from the concomitant action of LCAT via a predominantly nonspecific interaction of the particles with the cell surface.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
