Plasma concentrations of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are inversely related in several dyslipoproteinemias. To elucidate the interactions between these lipoproteins, we used a recombinant adenovirus (hLDLR-rAdV) to express human LDL receptors (hLDLRs) in LDL receptor-deficient rabbits. hLDLR-rAdV administration resulted in hepatocyte expression and a reduction of total, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and LDL cholesterol. In addition, we found that hLDLR-rAdV treatment induced (1) increased very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, (2) increased VLDL, IDL and LDL triglycerides, (3) decreased alpha- and pre-beta-migrating apolipoprotein E (apo E) and decreased pre-beta-migrating apo A-I at 2 to 4 days posttreatment, and (4) increased total plasma apo A-I and pre-beta-migrating apo A-I beginning 8 to 10 days posttreatment. Virtually all plasma apo A-I was present on alpha- and pre-beta-HDL. Pre-beta-HDL particles with size and electrophoretic properties consistent with nascent HDL demonstrated the greatest relative apo A-I enrichment following hLDLR-rAdV treatment. In summary, enhanced expression of hepatocyte LDLRs by hLDLR-rAdV treatment markedly altered apo A-I-containing lipoproteins and IDL and LDL. The use of recombinant viruses to express physiologically relevant genes in intact animals, analogous to transfection of cells in culture, provides a new strategy for the evaluation of effects of specific gene products on metabolic systems in vivo.

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.

D011973 Receptors, LDL Receptors on the plasma membrane of nonhepatic cells that specifically bind LDL. The receptors are localized in specialized regions called coated pits. Hypercholesteremia is caused by an allelic genetic defect of three types: 1, receptors do not bind to LDL; 2, there is reduced binding of LDL; and 3, there is normal binding but no internalization of LDL. In consequence, entry of cholesterol esters into the cell is impaired and the intracellular feedback by cholesterol on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is lacking.
