Abnormal apolipoprotein composition in alcoholic hepatitis.

N Tada, P J Nestel, N Fidge

    Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
    |May 22, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Alcoholic hepatitis significantly alters lipoprotein metabolism, affecting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) composition. These changes correlate with disease severity, impacting apolipoprotein levels and particle structure.

    Area of Science:

    • Lipid metabolism
    • Hepatology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Alcoholic hepatitis causes significant disruptions in lipoprotein metabolism.
    • Understanding these alterations is crucial for managing the disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize abnormal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in alcoholic hepatitis.
    • To correlate these lipoprotein abnormalities with disease severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of apolipoprotein composition in VLDL and HDL.
    • Quantification of HDL subclasses and particle morphology.
    • Heparin affinity chromatography to separate HDL fractions.
    • Electron microscopy for particle visualization.

    Main Results:

    • Severely affected subjects showed VLDL deficient in apolipoprotein E (apoE) and apolipoprotein C (apoC).
    • HDL concentrations were reduced, but HDL1 proportion increased; HDL was deficient in apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) and apolipoprotein AII (apoAII) but enriched in apoE, apoE complexes, and apoC.
    • Heparin-bound HDL was rich in apoE, apoE complexes, and apoC, lacking apoAI and apoAII; electron microscopy revealed discoidal and spherical HDL particles varying with disease severity.
    • Non-heparin-bound HDL had reduced apoAI and apoAII, consisted of disc-shaped particles, and showed a higher esterified:free cholesterol ratio.

    Conclusions:

    • Alcoholic hepatitis induces complex lipoprotein abnormalities, particularly in HDL and VLDL.
    • Lipoprotein alterations, including apolipoprotein content and particle structure, are linked to disease severity.
    • These findings provide insights into the pathobiology of alcoholic hepatitis and potential therapeutic targets.
