Density gradient ultracentrifugation was used to isolate and characterize the plasma lipoproteins from African green monkeys before and 24 and 48 h after subcutaneous injection of 300 micrograms/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce an acute phase response. Compared with 0 h values, reductions occurred in plasma cholesterol (39%), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (54%), lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity (55%), and post-heparin plasma lipase activity (68%) 48 h after LPS injection while plasma triglyceride concentrations increased 700%. Cholesterol distribution among lipoproteins shifted from 7 to 41% in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), 65 to 38% in low density lipoproteins (LDL), and 28 to 21% in HDL after LPS injection. At 48 h after LPS injection, all lipoprotein classes were relatively enriched in phospholipid and triglyceride and depleted of cholesteryl ester. The plasma concentration of all chemical constituents in VLDL was increased 3-9-fold within 48 h after LPS injection. By negative stain electron microscopy, HDL were discoidal in shape while VLDL and LDL appeared to have excess surface material present. Even though total HDL protein concentration in plasma was unaffected, the plasma mass of the smallest HDL subfractions (HDL3b,c) doubled while the mass of intermediate-sized subfractions (HDL3a) was dramatically decreased within 24 h after treatment. HDL became enriched in apoE, acquired apoSAA, and became depleted of apoA-I, A-II, and Cs by 48 h after LPS injection while apoB-100 remained the major apoprotein of VLDL and LDL. We conclude that administration of LPS to monkeys prevents normal intravascular metabolism of lipoproteins and results in the accumulation of relatively nascent forms of lipoproteins in plasma. These immature lipoproteins resemble those isolated from the recirculating perfusion of African green monkey livers, which are relatively deficient of LCAT activity and those isolated from the plasma of patients with familial LCAT deficiency.
