abstract To investigate the effect of thyroid dysfunction on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism, we measured HDL subfractions, apolipoprotein A-I containing particles (LpA-I and LpA-I:A-II), and the activities of enzymes involved in the remodeling and metabolism of HDL[ namely hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)] in 18 hyperthyroid and 17 hypothyroid patients before and after treatment. HDL was subfractionated by density gradient ultracentrifugation, and LpA-I was analyzed by electroimmunodiffusion. The major changes were found in the HDL2 subfraction and in LpA-I particles. HDL2-C and LpA-I were reduced in hyperthyroidism (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, respectively) and increased in hypothyroidism (both P < 0.05) compared with their respective euthyroid matched controls. Changes in HDL2-cholesterol were reversed after treatment in both hyper- and hypothyroid patients, and LpA-I also decreased in the hypothyroid patients after treatment. HL (P < 0.05) and CETP activities (P < 0.05) were elevated in hyperthyroidism and reduced in hypothyroidism (P < 0.05, P < 0.01 respectively) and both were related to free T4 levels. The changes in HDL2-C and LpA-I correlated significantly with changes in HL after treatment but not with CETP or lipoprotein lipase. In summary, HDL metabolism was altered in thyroid dysfunction, and the effect of thyroid hormone on HDL was mediated mainly via its effect on HL activity.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is central to triglyceride metabolism. Severely compromised LPL activity causes familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), which is associated with very high plasma triglyceride levels and increased risk of life-threatening pancreatitis. Currently, no approved pharmacological intervention can acutely lower plasma triglycerides in FCS. Low yield, high aggregation, and poor stability of recombinant LPL have thus far prevented development of enzyme replacement therapy. Recently, we showed that LPL monomers form 1:1 complexes with the LPL transporter glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein–binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) and solved the structure of the complex. In the present work, we further characterized the monomeric LPL/GPIHBP1 complex and its derivative, the LPL–GPIHBP1 fusion protein, with the goal of contributing to the development of an LPL enzyme replacement therapy. Fusion of LPL to GPIHBP1 increased yields of recombinant LPL, prevented LPL aggregation, stabilized LPL against spontaneous inactivation, and made it resistant to inactivation by the LPL antagonists angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) or ANGPTL4. The high stability of the fusion protein enabled us to identify LPL amino acids that interact with ANGPTL4. Additionally, the LPL–GPIHBP1 fusion protein exhibited high enzyme activity in in vitro assays. Importantly, both intravenous and subcutaneous administrations of the fusion protein lowered triglycerides in several mouse strains without causing adverse effects. These results indicate that the LPL–GPIHBP1 fusion protein has potential for use as a therapeutic for managing FCS.
