ß2-glycoprotein I (ß2-GPI) is a major antigen for antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs, aPL) present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We recently reported (J. Lipid Res., 42: 697, 2001; J. Lipid Res., 43: 1486, 2002) that ß2-GPI specifically binds to Cu2+-oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and that the ß2-GPI ligands are
-carboxylated 7-ketocholesteryl esters. In the present study, we demonstrate that oxLDL forms stable and nondissociable complexes with ß2-GPI in serum, and that high serum levels of the complexes are associated with arterial thrombosis in APS. A conjugated ketone function at the 7-position of cholesterol as well as the
-carboxyl function of the ß2-GPI ligands was necessary for ß2-GPI binding. The ligand-mediated noncovalent interaction of ß2-GPI and oxLDL undergoes a temperature- and time-dependent conversion to much more stable but readily dissociable complexes in vitro at neutral pH. In contrast, stable and nondissociable ß2-GPI-oxLDL complexes were frequently detected in sera from patients with APS and/or systemic lupus erythematodes. Both the presence of ß2-GPI-oxLDL complexes and IgG Abs recognizing these complexes were strongly associated with arterial thrombosis. Further, these same Abs correlated with IgG immune complexes containing ß2-GPI or LDL.
Thus, the ß2-GPI-oxLDL complexes acting as an autoantigen are closely associated with autoimmune-mediated atherogenesis.
