We have recently reported a new apolipoprotein (apo) A-I variant (apo A-I-Zaragoza L144R) in a Spanish family with HDL-C levels below the 5th percentile for age and sex and low apo A-I concentrations. All the apo A-I-Zaragoza subjects were heterozygous and none of them showed evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Mean plasma HDL-C, apo A-I, and apo A-II levels were lower in apo A-I-Zaragoza carriers as compared to control subjects (40, 60. and 50%, respectively). Lipid composition analysis revealed that apo A-I-Zaragoza carriers had HDL particles with a higher percentage of HDL triglyceride and a lower percentage of HDL esterified cholesterol as compared to those of control subjects. Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and cholesterol esterification rate of apo A-I-Zaragoza carriers were normal. Apo A-I and apo A-II metabolic studies were performed on two heterozygous apo A-I-Zaragoza carriers and on six control subjects. We used a primed constant infusion of [5,5,5-H-2(3)]leucine and HDL apo A-I and apo A-II tracer/tracee ratios were determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry and fitted to a monoexponential equation using SAAM II software. Both subjects carrying apo A-I-Zaragoza variant showed mean apo A-I fractional catabolic rate (FCR) values more than two-fold higher than mean FCR values of their controls (0.470+/-0.0792 vs. 0.207+/-0.0635 day(-1), respectively). Apo A-I secretion rate (SR) of apo A-I-Zaragoza subjects was slightly increased compared with controls (17.32+/-0.226 vs. 12.76+/-3.918 mg kg(-1) day(-1), respectively). Apo A-II FCR was also markedly elevated in both subjects with apo A-I-Zaragoza when compared with controls (0.366 +/- 0.1450 vs. 0.171+/-0.0333 day(-1), respectively) and apo A-II SR was normal (2.31+/-0.517 vs. 2.1+/-0.684 mg kg(-l) day(-1), respectively). Our results show that the apo A-I-Zaragoza variant results in heterozygosis in abnormal HDL particle composition and in enhanced catabolism of apo A-I and apo A-II without affecting significantly the secretion rates of these apolipoproteins and the LCAT activation.
