LDL and HDL enriched in triglyceride promote abnormal cholesterol transport
Open accessAbstract
Hypertriglyceridemia induces multiple changes in lipoprotein composition. Here we investigate how one of these modifications, triglyceride (TG) enrichment, affects HDL and LDL function when this alteration occurs under conditions in which more polar components can naturally re-equilibrate. TG-enriched lipoproteins were produced by co-incubating VLDL, LDL, and HDL with cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer protein. The resulting 2.5-fold increase in TG/CE ratio did not measurably alter the apoprotein composition of LDL or HDL, or modify LDL size. HDL mean diameter increased slightly from 9.1 to 9.4 nm. Modified LDL was internalized by fibroblasts normally, but its protein was degraded much less efficiently. This likely reflects an aberrant apolipoprotein B (apoB) conformation, as suggested by its resistance to V8 protease digestion and altered LDL electrophoretic mobility. TG-enriched LDL ineffectively down-regulated cholesterol biosynthesis compared with control LDL at the same protein concentration, but was equivalent in sterol regulation when compared on a cholesterol basis. TG-enriched HDL promoted greater net cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded J774 cells. However, cholesterol associated with TG-enriched HDL was inefficiently esterified by lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, and TG-enriched HDLs were poor donors of CE to HepG2 hepatocytes by selective uptake. We conclude that TG-enrichment, in the absence of other significant alterations in lipoprotein composition, is sufficient to alter both cholesterol delivery and removal mechanisms. Some of these abnormalities may contribute to increased coronary disease in hypertriglyceridemia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
