  • Cholesteryl ester transfer activity in lipoprotein lipase deficiency and other primary hypertriglyceridemias
    Iglesias, A. ...
    Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity was measured in d > 1.21 g/ml plasma from hypertriglyceridemic patients and compared with normolipidemic subjects. The assay consisted in measuring ... the specific transfer of š3Hđcholesteryl oleate from a prelabelled, apo E-poor HDL fractionto VLDL after incubation at 37 degrees C in the presence of the d > 1.21 g/ml plasma sample: the lipoproteins were then separated by precipitationwith dextran sulfate/Mg2+ solution. Increasing the volume of d > 1.21 g/ml plasma or purified human CETP in the assay produced linear responsesin measured activity, whereas, either during incubation at 4 degrees C or in the presence of rat plasma instead of human plasma, the transfer of š3Hđcholesteryl oleate to VLDL was not stimulated. Thus, the assay reflects changes in CETP in the sample and appears to be suitable for measuring CETP activity in d > 1.21 g/ml plasma. CETP activity was very similar in the two groups of normolipidemic subjects considered: adolescents (203 +/- 11 nmol esterified cholesterol transferred per 8 h/ml plasma) and adults (215 +/- 5). Patients were grouped into lipoprotein-lipase (LPL)-deficient and non-LPL-deficient according to their enzyme activity in postheparin plasma. CETP activity was highly increased in LPL-deficient, severe hyperchylomicronemic patients (430 +/- 42) and was directly correlated with VLDL levels in the non-LPL-deficient individuals. Marked differences were observed in the lipid composition of HDL and apolipoprotein A-I levels among patients and controls. In the control group, CETP activity was correlated onlywith HDL-triglyceride and HDL-triglyceride/apo A-I mass ratio, which is compatible with the physiological role of CETP in transferring triglyceride toHDL from other lipoprotein particles.
