title: Prevention of in vitro low-density lipoprotein oxidation by an albumin-containing Lp A-I subfraction.
abstract: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and two lipoprotein particles, those containing apo A-I and apo A-II (LpA-I:A-II) and those containing only apo A-I (LpA-I) were examined for their effect on Cu(2+)-catalyzed oxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipoproteins and lipoprotein particles were prepared from plasma samples of five healthy subjects. LDL and HDL were purified by ultracentrifugation, LpA-I and LpA-I:A-II were isolated by an immunoaffinity chromatography procedure. The contaminating albumin often linked to the LpA-I affinity purified particles was eliminated by selected affinity immunosorption. The presence of HDL, LpA-I or LpA-I:A-II, at an apo A-I-containing lipoproteins/LDL ratio of 1, did not prevent LDL oxidation when assessed by oxidation kinetics, electrophoretic mobility, amounts of thiobarbituric acid-reactive products and fragmentation of apo B-100. On the other hand, when the albumin removing step was omitted, the subfraction of albumin-containing LpA-I particles impeded and even inhibited the oxidation of LDL in an albumin dose-dependent manner.
