Obese mice without leptin (ob/ob) or the leptin receptor (db/db) have increased plasma HDL levels and accumulate a unique lipoprotein referred to as LDL/HDL1. To determine the role of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) in the formation and accumulation of LDL/HDL1, both ob/ob and db/db mice were crossed onto an apoA-I-deficient (apoA-I/) background. Even though the obese apoA-I/ mice had an expected dramatic decrease in HDL levels, the LDL/HDL1 particle persisted. The cholesterol in this lipoprotein range was associated with both - and ß-migrating particles, confirming the presence of small LDLs and large HDLs. Moreover, in the obese apoA-I/ mice, LDL particles were smaller and HDLs were more negatively charged and enriched in apoE compared with controls. This LDL/HDL1 particle was rapidly remodeled to the size of normal HDL after injection into C57BL/6 mice, but it was not catabolized in obese apoA-I/ mice even though plasma hepatic lipase (HL) activity was increased significantly. The finding of decreased hepatic scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) protein levels may explain the persistence of LDL/HDL1 in obese apoA-I/ mice.
Our studies suggest that the maturation and removal of large HDLs depends on the integrity of a functional axis of apoA-I, HL, and SR-BI. Moreover, the presence of large HDLs without apoA-I provides evidence for an apoA-I-independent pathway of cholesterol efflux, possibly sustained by apoE.
