To examine the effect of incorporation of cholesterol into high density lipoprotein (HDL) recombinants, multilamellar liposomes of 3H cholesterol/14C dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine were incubated with the total apoprotein (apoHDL) and principal apoproteins (apoA-1 and apoA-2) of human plasma high density lipoprotein. Soluble recombinants were separated from unreacted liposomes by centrifugation and examined by differential scanning calorimetry and negative stain electron microscopy. At 27 degrees C, liposomes containing up to approx. 0.1 mol cholesterol/mol dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) were readily solubilized by apoHDL, apoA-1 or apoA-2. However, the incorporation of DMPC and apoprotein into lipoprotein complexes was markedly reduced when liposomes containing a higher proportion of cholesterol were used. For recombinants prepared from apoHDL, apoA-1, or apoA-2, the equilibrium cholesterol content of complexes was approx. 45% that of the unreacted liposomes. Electron microscopy showed that for all cholesterol concentrations, HDL recombinants were predominantly lipid bilayer discs, approx. 160 X 55 A. Differential scanning calorimetry of cholesterol containing recombinants of DMPC/cholesterol/apoHDL or DMPC/cholesterol/apoA-1 showed, with increasing cholesterol content, a linear decrease in the enthalpy of the DMPC gel to liquid crystalline transition, extrapolating to zero enthalpy at 0.15 cholesterol/DMPC. The enthalpy values were markedly reduced compared to control liposomes, where the phospholipid transition extrapolated to zero enthalpy at approx. 0.45 cholesterol/DMPC. The calorimetric and solubility studies suggest that in high density lipoprotein recombinants cholesterol is excluded from 55% of DMPC molecules bound in a non-melting state by apoprotein.
