Human monocyte-derived macrophages in culture were shown to synthesize and secrete a lipid transfer protein. The human monocyte-derived macrophage transfer protein showed the following characteristics: (i) linear secretion rate over a 24-h period, which was blocked completely by cycloheximide and stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (67% increase over nonstimulated values); (ii) apparent Mr = approximately 62,000 off Sephacryl S-200; (iii) isoelectric point of 5.0; (iv) binding to phenyl-Sepharose, but not to heparin-Sepharose; (v) facilitation of the transfer of both neutral lipids (cholesteryl esters and triglycerides) and phosphatidylcholine between high density lipoproteins and d less than 1.063 g/ml lipoproteins; and (vi) thermal stability (stable for 1 h at 56 degrees C). The last five of these properties are similar to those of the plasma lipid transfer protein. Thus, macrophages secrete a lipid transfer protein that closely resembles the neutral lipid transfer protein found in human plasma and may be a source of this plasma protein in vivo.
