We studied the effect in vitro of various concentrations of Triton WR-1339 on normolipidemic canine plasma and on the high density lipoproteins (HDL) isolated from this plasma by ultracentrifugation. As a preamble to this study, we established that Triton WR-1339 has a unimer molecular weight of 4,500, a micellar molecular weight of 180,000, and a critical micellar concentration (CMC) of 0.018 mM or 0.008 g/dl. Above its CMC, Triton WR-1339 in concentrations between 2 and 10 mg/ml induced concentration-dependent structural changes in HDL which were characterized by a progressive displacement of apoA-I from the HDL surface without loss of lipids. The addition of Triton WR-1339 to the HDL particles modified their electrophoresis mobility and caused an increase in size (95 +/- 5 A to 114 +/- 7 A). At the extreme Triton WR-1339 concentrations utilized in these studies (10 mg/ml) disruption of the HDL particles occurred; at this stage, the original, relatively homogeneous, spherical HDL particles were replaced by a heterogeneous population ranging in size between 50 and 250 A, representing complexes of Triton WR-1339 with lipids essentially free of apoA-I which could be sedimented by ultracentrifugation. The effects of Triton WR-1339 on whole plasma or isolated HDL were comparable. These studies indicate that Triton WR-1339 in vitro alters HDL in a concentration-dependent manner and that these changes vary from a displacement of apoA-I from the HDL surface to a state where all lipids are solubilized into the Triton WR-1339 micellar phase and are driven away from the protein moiety.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
