Complexes of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with phospholipids are known to induce cholesterol efflux from cells. In a cholesteryl ester accumulation system in which rat peritoneal macrophages were incubated with acetylated low density lipoprotein (acetyl-LDL) and either dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine complexes (DMPC/apoA-I) or native high density lipoprotein (HDL), DMPC/apoA-I exhibited a much stronger effect than native HDL in preventing cholesteryl ester accumulation. The mechanism for this phenomenon was investigated in the present study. After 18 h incubation with DMPC/apoA-I in a cell-free system, acetyl-LDL was re-isolated from DMPC/apoA-I by Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration chromatography. Re-isolated acetyl-LDL exhibited an increase in its phospholipid content by 86% as well as a reduction in the electrophoretic mobility. Its endocytic degradation by macrophages was reduced by 60% when compared with control acetyl-LDL, suggesting a significant reduction in the ligand activity for the macrophage scavenger receptor. Transfer of apolipoproteins between acetyl-LDL and DMPC/apoA-I did not occur. These results indicate that transfer of DMPC from DMPC/apoA-I to acetyl-LDL weakens the ligand activity for the scavenger receptor due probably to a decrease in net negative charge. This study demonstrated for the first time that lipid modification (change in the lipid moiety) of acetyl-LDL can induce alteration in its apolipoprotein moiety, leading to a significant loss of its biological activity. Because discoidal HDLs are known to occur in vivo, this phenomenon may explain one of the anti-atherogenic functions of HDL in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.
