Influence of total lipid concentration, bile salt:lecithin ratio, and cholesterol content on inter-mixed micellar/vesicular (non-lecithin- associated) bile salt concentrations in model bile

We modified classic equilibrium dialysis methodology to correct for dialysant dilution and Donnan effects, and have systematically studied how variations in total lipid concentration, bile salt (taurocholate):lecithin (egg yolk) ratio, and cholesterol content influence inter-mixed micellar/vesicular (non-lecithin-associated) concentrations (IMC) of bile salts (BS) in model bile. To simulate large volumes of dialysant, the total volume (1 ml) of model bile was exchanged nine times during dialysis. When equilibrium was reached, dialysate BS concentrations plateaued, and initial and final BS concentrations in the dialysant were identical. After corrections for Donnan effects, IMC values were appreciably lower than final dialysate BS concentrations. Quasielastic light scattering was used to validate these IMC values by demonstrating that lipid particle sizes and mean scattered light intensities did not vary when model biles were diluted with aqueous BS solutions of the appropriate IMC. Micelles and vesicles were separated from cholesterol-supersaturated model bile, utilizing high performance gel chromatography with an eluant containing the IMC. Upon rechromatography of micelles and vesicles using an identical IMC, there was no net transfer of lipid between micelles and vesicles. To simulate dilution during gel filtration, model biles were diluted with 10 mM Na cholate, the prevailing literature eluant, resulting in net transfer of lipid between micelles and vesicles, the direction of which depended upon total lipid concentration and BS/lecithin ratio. Using the present methodology, we demonstrated that inter-mixed micellar/vesicular concentrations (IMC) values increased strongly (5 to 40 mM) with increases in both bile salt (BS):lecithin ratio and total lipid concentration, whereas variations in cholesterol content had no appreciable effects. For model biles with typical physiological biliary lipid compositions, IMC values exceeded the critical micellar concentration of the pure BS, implying that in cholesterol- supersaturated biles, simple BS micelles coexist with mixed BS/lecithin/cholesterol micelles and cholesterol/lecithin vesicles. We believe that this methodology allows the systematic evaluation of IMC values, with the ultimate aim of accurately separating micellar, vesicular, and potential other cholesterol-carrying particles from native bile.
