LCAT can rescue the abnormal phenotype produced by the natural ApoA-I mutations (Leu141Arg)Pisa and (Leu159Arg)FIN
Abstract
To explain the etiology and find a mode of therapy of genetically determined low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), we have generated recombinant adenoviruses expressing apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)(Leu141Arg)Pisa and apoA-I(Leu159Arg)FIN and studied their properties in vitro and in vivo. Both mutants were secreted efficiently from cells but had diminished capacity to activate lecithin/cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in vitro. Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of either of the two mutants in apoA-I-deficient (apoA-I-/-) mice resulted in greatly decreased total plasma cholesterol, apoA-I, and HDL cholesterol levels. The treatment also decreased the cholesteryl ester to total cholesterol ratio (CE/TC), caused accumulation of prebeta1-HDL and small size alpha4-HDL particles, and generated only few spherical HDL particles, as compared to mice expressing wild-type (WT) apoA-I. Simultaneous treatment of the mice with adenoviruses expressing either of the two mutants and human LCAT normalized the plasma apoA-I, HDL cholesterol levels, and the CE/TC ratio, restored normal prebeta- and alpha-HDL subpopulations, and generated spherical HDL. The study establishes that apoA-I(Leu141Arg)Pisa and apoA-I(Leu159Arg)FIN inhibit an early step in the biogenesis of HDL due to inefficient esterification of the cholesterol of the prebeta1-HDL particles by the endogenous LCAT. Both defects can be corrected by treatment with LCAT.
