Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the major protein constituent of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and a target of myeloperoxidase-dependent oxidation in the artery wall. In atherosclerotic lesions, apoA-I exhibits marked oxidative modifications at multiple sites, including Trp72. Site-specific mutagenesis studies have suggested, but have not conclusively shown, that oxidative modification of Trp72 of apoA-I impairs many atheroprotective properties of this lipoprotein. Herein, we used genetic code expansion technology with an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae tryptophanyl tRNA-synthetase (Trp-RS):suppressor tRNA pair to insert the noncanonical amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-OHTrp) at position 72 in recombinant human apoA-I and confirmed site-specific incorporation utilizing MS. In functional characterization studies, 5-OHTrp72 apoA-I (compared with WT apoA-I) exhibited reduced ABC subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1)-dependent cholesterol acceptor activity in vitro (41.73 ± 6.57% inhibition; p < 0.01). Additionally, 5-OHTrp72 apoA-I displayed increased activation and stabilization of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity (μmol/min/mg) when compared with WT apoA-I and comparable PON1 activation/stabilization compared with reconstituted HDL (WT apoA-I, 1.92 ± 0.04; 5-OHTrp72 apoA-I, 2.35 ± 0.0; and HDL, 2.33 ± 0.1; p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). Following injection into apoA-I–deficient mice, 5-OHTrp72 apoA-I reached plasma levels comparable with those of native apoA-I yet exhibited significantly reduced (48%; p < 0.01) lipidation and evidence of HDL biogenesis. Collectively, these findings unequivocally reveal that site-specific oxidative modification of apoA-I via 5-OHTrp at Trp72 impairs cholesterol efflux and the rate-limiting step of HDL biogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective: AIBP (apolipoprotein A-I binding protein) is an effective and selective regulator of lipid rafts modulating many metabolic pathways originating from the rafts, including inflammation. The mechanism of action was suggested to involve stimulation by AIBP of cholesterol efflux, depleting rafts of cholesterol, which is essential for lipid raft integrity. Here we describe a different mechanism contributing to the regulation of lipid rafts by AIBP. Approach and Results: We demonstrate that modulation of rafts by AIBP may not exclusively depend on the rate of cholesterol efflux or presence of the key regulator of the efflux, ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A-I). AIBP interacted with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, which was associated with increased abundance and activation of Cdc42 and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. Cytoskeleton rearrangement was accompanied with reduction of the abundance of lipid rafts, without significant changes in the lipid composition of the rafts. The interaction of AIBP with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate was blocked by AIBP substrate, NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), and both NADPH and silencing of Cdc42 interfered with the ability of AIBP to regulate lipid rafts and cholesterol efflux. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that an underlying mechanism of regulation of lipid rafts by AIBP involves PIP-dependent rearrangement of the cytoskeleton.

Background: Studies have shown that low HDL-cholesterol levels may be associated with the progression of aortic valvular calcium and aortic valvular stenosis (AVS), but whether patients with AVS have impaired cholesterol efflux capacities is unknown. Methods and results: We have measured four parameters of cholesterol efflux capacity in apolipoprotein B-depleted serum samples from 48 patients with (aortic jet velocity ≥2.5 m/s, mean age = 72 ± 7 years and 72.7% men) and 51 patients without AVS (aortic jet velocity ≤ 1.7 m/s, mean age 71 ± 7 years and 70.6% men). Cholesterol efflux capacity was measured using J774 macrophages with and without stimulation of ABCA1 expression by cAMP (non-stimulated efflux, total efflux and ABCA1-mediated efflux), and HepG2 hepatocytes to measure SR-BI-mediated efflux. Mean HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I levels as well as efflux are shown in the table for patients with vs. without AVS. The Pearson correlation coefficient between HDL-cholesterol levels and SR-B1-dependent efflux was 0.39 (p=0.007) in patients with AVS and 0.68 (<0.0001) in controls (P-value for the difference between the correlation coefficients obtained with Fisher’s test = 0.04). Conclusions: This study provides evidence that serum from patients with AVS may have impaired cholesterol efflux capacities, especially through the SR-B1 pathway. Table. Mean HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I levels as well as non-stimulated-, total-, ABCA1-, and SR-B1-dependent cholesterol efflux obtained from patients’ serum with vs. without AVS. Data is shown as mean ± SD. Differences between categories were assessed using a Student unpaired t-test.

We have studied the effect of lipid-free human plasma apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) on the transport of newly synthesized cholesterol to cell-surface cholesterol-rich domains, which in human skin fibroblasts are mainly represented by caveolae. Changes in transport of newly synthesized cholesterol were assessed after labelling cells with [14C]acetate at 15°C and warming cells to permit the transfer of cholesterol, followed by the selective oxidation of cholesterol in cholesterol-rich domains (caveolae) in the plasma membrane before their partial purification. ApoA-I, but not BSA added in an equimolar concentration, enhanced the transport of cholesterol to the caveolae up to 5-fold in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The effect of apoA-I on cholesterol transport exceeded its effect on cholesterol efflux, resulting in an accumulation of intracellular cholesterol in caveolae. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin, added at a concentration promoting cholesterol efflux to the same extent as apoA-I, also stimulated cholesterol trafficking, but was 3-fold less effective than apoA-I. Progesterone inhibited the transport of newly synthesized cholesterol to the caveolae. Treatment of cells with apoA-I stimulated the expression of caveolin, increasing the amount of caveolin protein and mRNA by approx. 2-fold. We conclude that apoA-I induces the transport of intracellular cholesterol to cell-surface caveolae, possibly in part through the stimulation of caveolin expression.

Abstract Cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells are a central component of atherosclerotic lesions. ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), the defective molecule in Tangier disease, mediates the efflux of phospholipid and cholesterol from cells to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), reversing foam cell formation. This study investigated the effect of apoA-I on ABCA1 degradation and cholesterol efflux in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. After exposure of the cultured THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells to apoA-I for different time, cholesterol efflux, ABCA1 mRNA and protein levels were determined by FJ-2107P type liquid scintillator, RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The mean ABCA1 fluorescence intensity on THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results showed that apoA-I markedly increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. This was accompanied by an increase in the content of ABCA1. ApoA-I did not alter ABCA1 mRNA abundance. Significantly, thiol protease inhibitors increased the level of ABCA1 protein and slowed its decay in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells, whereas none of the proteosome-specific inhibitor lactacystin, other protease inhibitors, or the lysosomal inhibitor NH4Cl showed such effects. The apoA-I-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux was enhanced by thiol protease inhibitors. Our results suggested that thiol protease inhibitors might provide an alternative way to upregulate ABCA1 protein. This strategy is especially appealing since it may mimic the stabilizing effect of the natural ligands apoA-I.

Our laboratory recently demonstrated that Apolipoprotein A-I Binding Protein (AIBP), an evolutionarily conserved intracellular and secreted protein, mediates cholesterol efflux from endothelial cells, which in turn disrupts lipid rafts and limits angiogenic signaling. Since lipid rafts are implicated in multiple cell signal cascades, to better understand the in vivo role of AIBP our laboratory has generated Apoa1bp -/- mice. The Apoa1bp -/- mice exhibit increased levels of inflammatory cytokines, and have an increased content of M1 macrophages in white adipose tissue in comparison to wild type mice when challenged with a high fat diet. Since AIBP accelerates cholesterol efflux from macrophages to HDL, and vascular lipid accumulation and inflammation are key factors in atherosclerosis, we hypothesized that AIBP is atheroprotective by suppressing macrophage lipid accumulation and inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization. Immunohistochemistry shows that AIBP is present in atherosclerotic lesion macrophages. However, elicited macrophages lacking AIBP expression do not exhibit any impairment in their ability to polarize to M1, suggesting that deficiency in secreted extracellular AIBP may be responsible for the M1 phenotype observed in Apoa1bp -/- mice. Indeed, treating macrophages with recombinant AIBP prior to polarization resulted in suppression of M1 polarization. In a high-cholesterol diet feeding experiment, Apoa1bp -/- Ldlr -/- mice had increased M1 macrophage content in their aorta and aortic root atherosclerotic lesions, as determined by FACS and immunohistochemistry, respectively. In conclusion, AIBP is an important negative regulator of macrophage polarization and lipid accumulation. A better understanding of AIBP’s regulatory functions in the context of atherosclerosis will provide new mechanistic insights and targeted therapies.
