The incorporation of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal into low-density lipoprotein (LDL) increases the negative charge of the particle, and decreases its affinity for the fibroblast LDL receptor. It is suggested that this modification may occur in vivo, and might promote atherogenesis.

A new technique has been developed to identify low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptors on nitrocellulose membranes, after transfer from SDS/polyacrylamide gels, by ligand blotting with biotin-modified LDL. Modification with biotin hydrazide of periodate-oxidized lipoprotein sugar residues does not affect the ability of the lipoprotein to bind to the LDL receptor. Bound lipoprotein is detected with high sensitivity by a streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex, and thus this method eliminates the need for specific antibodies directed against the ligand. The density of the bands obtained is proportional to the amount of pure LDL receptor protein applied to the SDS/polyacrylamide gel, so that it is possible to quantify LDL receptor protein in cell extracts. Biotin can be attached to other lipoproteins, for example very-low-density lipoproteins with beta-mobility, and thus the method will be useful in the identification and isolation of other lipoprotein receptors.
