Metabolism of high density lipoproteins by the perfused rabbit liver

M Mackinnon, J Savage, R Wishart and P Barter

The role of the liver in the catabolism of high density lipoproteins (HDL) was examined in isolated perfused rabbit livers. Using 125I- labeled rabbit HDL the disappearance of labeled apolipoproteins from the perfusate was biphasic with 7% of the label removed after 20 min and a further 6% between 20 and 90 min. In contrast, with HDL labeled with [3H]cholesteryl esters 35% of label had been removed after 90 min. The effect of liver perfusion on HDL size and composition was further studied by recirculating rabbit HDL for 120 min. In control experiments HDL was incubated at 37 degrees C for 120 min with nonperfused media and with media that had been liver perfused. The added HDL was predominantly particles of 4.8-4.9-mm radius, and incubation with nonperfused and preperfused media produced no significant change in size. However, liver perfusion resulted in particles predominantly 4.2- 4.3-mm radius. Hepatic perfusion also significantly reduced HDL cholesteryl ester composition as a percentage of lipoproteins mass from 13.3 +/- 2.2% in control incubations to 10.7 +/- 3.1% (p less than 0.001), and cholesteryl ester:protein mass ratio was reduced from 0.31 +/- 0.06 in control to 0.24 +/- 0.10 (p less than 0.001) after 120 min of liver perfusion. Thus interaction of rabbit HDL with rabbit liver results in smaller HDL particles significantly depleted of core cholesteryl esters.
