Two subpopulations of apolipoprotein A-I-containing lipoproteins, those containing only apoA-I (LpA-I) and those containing both apoA-I and apoA-II (LpA-I/A-II), were isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography of plasma from 44 subjects, comprising four groups (male or female, with or without hyperlipidemia). ApoA-I-defined particles (LpAs) were assessed for their content of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and for their ability to act as substrates for CETP. Although plasma CETP concentration was similar in all groups, the plasma concentration of LpA-I-associated CETP was significantly higher in females than in males (1.56 +/- 0.11 versus 0.93 +/- 0.13 mg/l, P < 0.05). In females, the major fraction of CETP was found in LpA-I, whereas in normolipidemic males CETP was evenly distributed between LpA-I and LpA- I/A-II, and in hyperlipidemic males the majority of CETP was found in LpA-I/A-II. In all groups, the percentage of CETP in LpA-I was correlated with the concentration of apoA-I in LpA-I (r = 0.64, P < 0.001). Native gradient gel electrophoresis of isolated LpAs showed that CETP was broadly distributed within different sized particles. LpA- I and LpA-I/A-II showed similar efficiency of CETP-mediated cholesteryl ester exchange with LDL. In conclusion, even though LpA-I has a much higher apparent affinity for CETP than LpA-I/A-II, both LpAs can bind CETP and act as equivalent CETP substrates in vitro. Thus, in subjects with low levels of LpA-I (notably hyperlipidemic males), most of the plasma neutral lipid exchange will involve LpA-I/A-II.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
