Abstract:
:Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins derived from ten normo- and hyperlipidemic apoE-2 homozygotes were analyzed for their composition, beta-VLDL content, and their ability to induce cholesteryl ester storage in macrophages. In six of these probands apoE sequence analysis revealed that the cysteine residues were at positions 112 and 158 of the amino acid sequence (Rall et al. 1983. J. Clin. Invest. 71: 1023-1031). ApoE-2 of these six and the other four patients was further analyzed by SDS electrophoresis to exclude the presence of apoE-2* (Rall et al. 1982. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 79: 4696-4700). The relative serum concentrations of free and esterified cholesterol transported in the d less than 1.006 g/ml and d 1.006-1.019 g/ml lipoproteins of the apoE-2 homozygotes was significantly higher as compared to controls. Compositional analysis of these lipoproteins revealed a relative reduction of triglycerides and a relative increase of cholesteryl esters as compared to controls. In most patients, with increasing serum triglyceride levels the cholesteryl ester concentration increased in d less than 1.006 g/ml and d 1.006-1.019 g/ml lipoproteins. However, in three patients with a low content of beta-VLDL, the increase in the d less than 1.006 g/ml fraction cholesterol was mostly due to free cholesterol and not due to cholesteryl esters. The degree of the macrophage cholesteryl ester accumulation induced by d less than 1.006 g/ml lipoproteins was mostly dependent on the concentration of the beta-migrating fraction (beta-VLDL). The amount of beta-VLDL and pre-beta-VLDL contained in the d less than 1.006 g/ml fraction was determined densitometrically after electrophoretic separation. It could be demonstrated that the beta-VLDL content in the d less than 1.006 g/ml fraction of the apoE-2 homozygous patients was largely independent of serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol levels. When macrophages were incubated with the IDL fraction (d 1.006-1.019 g/ml) from the apoE-2 patients, no significant increase in cellular cholesteryl esters above control levels was observed. Studies with purified lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) clearly revealed that both enzymes interacted with apoE-2 VLDL (binding, hydrolysis) to a lesser degree compared to control preparations. However, the apoE-2 VLDL preparations containing a low content of beta-VLDL were better substrates for LPL and HTGL than those containing a high beta-VLDL content. It is concluded from our studies that the plasma beta-VLDL content in apoE-2 homozygotes is a major determinant for cholesteryl ester accumulation in macrophages.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
