Abstract
BACKGROUND Humans spend much of the day in the postprandial state. However, most research and clinical guidelines on plasma lipids pertain to blood drawn after a 12-hour fast. We aimed to study the metabolic differences of apoB lipoproteins between the fasting and postprandial states. METHODS We investigated plasma apoB metabolism using stable isotope tracers in 12 adult volunteers under fasting and continuous postprandial conditions in a randomized crossover study. We determined the metabolism of apoB in multiple lipoprotein subfractions, including light and dense VLDLs (very-low-density lipoproteins), IDLs (intermediate-density lipoproteins), and light and dense LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) that do or do not contain apoE or apoC3. RESULTS A major feature of the postprandial state is 50% lower secretion rate of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and concurrent slowdown of their catabolism in circulation, as shown by 34% to 55% lower rate constants for the metabolic pathways of conversion by lipolysis from larger to smaller lipoproteins and direct clearance of lipoproteins from the circulation. In addition, the secretion pattern of apoB lipoprotein phenotypes was shifted from particles containing apoE and apoC3 in the fasting state to those without either protein in the postprandial state. CONCLUSIONS Overall, during the fasting state, hepatic apoB lipoprotein metabolism is activated, characterized by increased production, transport, and clearance. After food intake, endogenous apoB lipoprotein metabolism is globally reduced as appropriate to balance dietary input to maintain the supply of energy to peripheral tissues.

Abstract
HDL (high-density lipoprotein), owing to its high protein content and small size, is the densest circulating lipoprotein. In contrast to lipid-laden VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) that promote atherosclerosis, HDL is hypothesized to mitigate atherosclerosis via reverse cholesterol transport, a process that entails the uptake and clearance of excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues. This process is mediated by APOA1 (apolipoprotein A-I), the primary structural protein of HDL, as well as by the activities of additional HDL proteins. Tracer-dependent kinetic studies are an invaluable tool to study HDL-mediated reverse cholesterol transport and overall HDL metabolism in humans when a cardiovascular disease therapy is investigated. Unfortunately, HDL cholesterol-raising therapies have not been successful at reducing cardiovascular events suggesting an incomplete picture of HDL biology. However, as HDL tracer studies have evolved from radioactive isotope- to stable isotope-based strategies that in turn are reliant on mass spectrometry technologies, the complexity of the HDL proteome and its metabolism can be more readily addressed. In this review, we outline the motivations, timelines, advantages, and disadvantages of the various tracer kinetics strategies. We also feature the metabolic properties of select HDL proteins known to regulate reverse cholesterol transport, which in turn underscore that HDL lipoproteins comprise a heterogeneous particle population whose distinct protein constituents and kinetics likely determine its function and potential contribution to cholesterol clearance.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A4's (APOA4's) functions on HDL in humans are not well understood. A unique feature of APOA4 is that it is an intestinal apolipoprotein secreted on HDL and chylomicrons. The goal of this study was to gain a better understanding of the origin and function of APOA4 on HDL by studying its metabolism across 6 HDL sizes. Twelve participants completed a metabolic tracer study. HDL was isolated by APOA1 immunopurification and separated by size. Tracer enrichments for APOA4 and APOA1 were determined by targeted mass spectrometry, and metabolic rates were derived by compartmental modeling. APOA4 metabolism on small HDL (alpha3, prebeta, and very small prebeta) was distinct from that of APOA4 on large HDL (alpha0, 1, 2). APOA4 on small HDL appeared in circulation by 30 minutes and was relatively rapidly catabolized. In contrast, APOA4 on large HDL appeared in circulation later (1-2 hours) and had a much slower catabolism. The unique metabolic profiles of APOA4 on small and large HDL likely indicate that each has a distinct origin and function in humans. This evidence supports the notion that APOA4 on small HDL originates directly from the small intestine while APOA4 on large HDL originates from chylomicron transfer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Dietary fat compared to carbohydrate increases the plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. However, neither the mechanism nor its connection to cardiovascular disease is known. RECENT FINDINGS Protein-based subspecies of HDL, especially those containing apolipoprotein E (apoE) or apolipoprotein C3 (apoC3), offer a glimpse of a vast metabolic system related to atherogenicity, coronary heart disease (CHD) and other diseases. ApoE stimulates several processes that define reverse cholesterol transport through HDL, specifically secretion of active HDL subspecies, cholesterol efflux to HDL from macrophages involved in atherogenesis, size enlargement of HDL with cholesterol ester, and rapid clearance from the circulation. Dietary unsaturated fat stimulates the flux of HDL that contains apoE through these protective pathways. Effective reverse cholesterol transport may lessen atherogenesis and prevent disease. In contrast, apoC3 abrogates the benefit of apoE on reverse cholesterol transport, which may account for the association of HDL that contains apoC3 with dyslipidemia, obesity and CHD. SUMMARY Dietary unsaturated fat and carbohydrate affect the metabolism of protein-defined HDL subspecies containing apoE or apoC3 accelerating or retarding reverse cholesterol transport, thus demonstrating new mechanisms that may link diet to HDL and to CHD.

Abstract
Recent in vivo tracer studies demonstrated that targeted mass spectrometry (MS) on the Q Exactive Orbitrap could determine the metabolism of HDL proteins 100s-fold less abundant than apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1). In this study, we demonstrate that the Orbitrap Lumos can measure tracer in proteins whose abundances are 1000s-fold less than APOA1, specifically the lipid transfer proteins phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), and lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT). Relative to the Q Exactive, the Lumos improved tracer detection by reducing tracer enrichment compression, thereby providing consistent enrichment data across multiple HDL sizes from 6 participants. We determined by compartmental modeling that PLTP is secreted in medium and large HDL (alpha2, alpha1, and alpha0) and is transferred from medium to larger sizes during circulation from where it is catabolized. CETP is secreted mainly in alpha1 and alpha2 and remains in these sizes during circulation. LCAT is secreted mainly in medium and small HDL (alpha2, alpha3, prebeta). Unlike PLTP and CETP, LCAT’s appearance on HDL is markedly delayed, indicating that LCAT may reside for a time outside of systemic circulation before attaching to HDL in plasma. The determination of these lipid transfer proteins’ unique metabolic structures was possible due to advances in MS technologies.

Abstract
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) occurs when subpopulations of valve cells undergo specific differentiation pathways, promoting tissue fibrosis and calcification. Lipoprotein particles carry oxidized lipids that promote valvular disease, but low-density lipoprotein-lowering therapies have failed in clinical trials, and there are currently no pharmacological interventions available for this disease. Apolipoproteins are known promoters of atherosclerosis, but whether they possess pathogenic properties in CAVD is less clear. To search for a possible link, we assessed 12 apolipoproteins in nonfibrotic/noncalcific and fibrotic/calcific aortic valve tissues by proteomics and immunohistochemistry to understand if they were enriched in calcified areas. Eight apolipoproteins (apoA-I, apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoB, apoC-III, apoD, apoL-I, and apoM) were enriched in the calcific versus nonfibrotic/noncalcific tissues. Apo(a), apoB, apoC-III, apoE, and apoJ localized within the disease-prone fibrosa and colocalized with calcific regions as detected by immunohistochemistry. Circulating apoC-III on lipoprotein(a) is a potential biomarker of aortic stenosis incidence and progression, but whether apoC-III also induces aortic valve calcification is unknown. We found that apoC-III was increased in fibrotic and calcific tissues and observed within the calcification-prone fibrosa layer as well as around calcification. In addition, we showed that apoC-III induced calcification in primary human valvular cell cultures via a mitochondrial dysfunction/inflammation-mediated pathway. This study provides a first assessment of a broad array of apolipoproteins in CAVD tissues, demonstrates that specific apolipoproteins associate with valvular calcification, and implicates apoC-III as an active and modifiable driver of CAVD beyond its potential role as a biomarker.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical evidence has linked low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels with high cardiovascular disease risk; however, its significance as a therapeutic target remains unestablished. We hypothesize that HDLs functional heterogeneity is comprised of metabolically distinct proteins, each on distinct HDL sizes and that are affected by diet. Approach and Results: Twelve participants were placed on 2 healthful diets high in monounsaturated fat or carbohydrate. After 4 weeks on each diet, participants completed a metabolic tracer study. HDL was isolated by Apo (apolipoprotein) A1 immunopurification and separated into 5 sizes. Tracer enrichment and metabolic rates for 8 HDL proteins-ApoA1, ApoA2, ApoC3, ApoE, ApoJ, ApoL1, ApoM, and LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase)-were determined by parallel reaction monitoring and compartmental modeling, respectively. Each protein had a unique, size-specific distribution that was not altered by diet. However, carbohydrate, when replacing fat, increased the fractional catabolic rate of ApoA1 and ApoA2 on alpha3 HDL; ApoE on alpha3 and alpha1 HDL; and ApoM on alpha2 HDL. Additionally, carbohydrate increased the production of ApoC3 on alpha3 HDL and ApoJ and ApoL1 on the largest alpha0 HDL. LCAT was the only protein studied that diet did not affect. Finally, global proteomics showed that diet did not alter the distribution of the HDL proteome across HDL sizes. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that HDL in humans is composed of a complex system of proteins, each with its own unique size distribution, metabolism, and diet regulation. The carbohydrate-induced hypercatabolic state of HDL proteins may represent mechanisms by which carbohydrate alters the cardioprotective properties of HDL.

Abstract
Objective- HDL (high-density lipoprotein) in plasma is a heterogeneous group of lipoproteins typically containing apo AI as the principal protein. Most HDLs contain additional proteins from a palate of nearly 100 HDL-associated polypeptides. We hypothesized that some of these proteins define distinct and stable apo AI HDL subspecies with unique proteomes that drive function and associations with disease. Approach and Results- We produced 17 plasma pools from 80 normolipidemic human participants (32 men, 48 women; aged 21-66 years). Using immunoaffinity isolation techniques, we isolated apo AI containing species from plasma and then used antibodies to 16 additional HDL protein components to isolate compositional subspecies. We characterized previously described HDL subspecies containing apo AII, apo CIII, and apo E; and 13 novel HDL subspecies defined by presence of apo AIV, apo CI, apo CII, apo J, α-1-antitrypsin, α-2-macroglobulin, plasminogen, fibrinogen, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, paraoxonase-1, apo LI, or complement C3. The novel species ranged in abundance from 1% to 18% of total plasma apo AI. Their concentrations were stable over time as demonstrated by intraclass correlations in repeated sampling from the same participants over 3 to 24 months (0.33-0.86; mean 0.62). Some proteomes of the subspecies relative to total HDL were strongly correlated, often among subspecies defined by similar functions: lipid metabolism, hemostasis, antioxidant, or anti-inflammatory. Permutation analysis showed that the proteomes of 12 of the 16 subspecies differed significantly from that of total HDL. Conclusions- Taken together, correlation and permutation analyses support speciation of HDL. Functional studies of these novel subspecies and determination of their relation to diseases may provide new avenues to understand the HDL system of lipoproteins.

Abstract
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) play a critical role in lipid transport and the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. HDL consists of a heterogeneous population of particles that vary in size, composition, and functionality. HDL is proteomically diverse; it can host at least 95 different proteins and structure-function studies suggest that specific protein complements on the surface of the particles are responsible for the broad spectrum of HDL function.
The goal of this study was to isolate and fully characterize specific subspecies of HDL based on their protein complement and particle size. We built upon our previous studies where we segregated lipoproteins using immunoaffinity chromatography using antibodies specific to the two major scaffold proteins of HDL; apolipoprotein (apo)A-I and apoA-II. Two populations were obtained directly from plasma that either had both apoA-I and apoA-II (LpA-I/A-II) or just apoA-I with no apoA-II (LpA-I). These subpopulations were further fractionated using size exclusion chromatography using four superdex columns in series.
We observed at least three distinctly sized particles within the LpA-I/A-II subfraction and two distinctly sized particles in the LpA-I subfraction which all elute in the size range of HDL. We successfully isolated the “large” and “small” subpopulations observed in the LpA-I subfraction and compositional analysis revealed profound proteomic differences between the two populations. Particles in the larger fraction were enriched in more common apolipoprotiens important for lipid metabolic processes such as apoL-I, apoD, apoM and apoE. Conversely, the smaller LpA-I particles were enriched in proteins important for immune response and complement activation. Using multiple cross-linking reagents, we have mapped the protein-protein interactions on each of these subpopulations to begin generating detailed structural models of these particles

Abstract
Introduction:
When dietary carbohydrate replaces fat, HDL-C and apoA1 decrease. The proportion in plasma of large HDL2 decreases while small HDL3 increases. These findings suggest that diet affects metabolically important attributes of HDL that produce the size changes. We studied in humans the effect of dietary carbohydrate and unsaturated fat on the HDL proteome and metabolism of 9 HDL proteins across 6 HDL sizes.
Methods and Results:
Twelve participants were placed on a controlled high unsaturated fat (HF) or high carbohydrate (HC) diet in a randomized crossover design. At the end of each 4-week diet period, subjects were infused with D3-Leu tracer, and blood was collected for 70 hrs. ApoA1-HDL was prepared by immunoaffinity purification, separated into 6 sizes α0, α1, α2, α3, preβ, and <preβ by ND-PAGE, and in-gel trypsinized for mass spectrometry. We used label free quantification to characterize the HDL proteome. The proteome composition and distribution across the 6 HDL sizes were remarkably conserved in all subjects on both diets. Diet altered the abundance of several proteins on the major HDL sizes α2 and α3. The HC diet increased proteins involved in lipid metabolism (apoC3, apoC1, apoC2-C4) and acute phase response (SAA1, 4), and decreased antioxidant (PON1, 3) and protease inhibitor (SERPINA3, G1) proteins. We also monitored the metabolism of 9 proteins that likely affect HDL metabolism – apoA1, apoA2, apoA4, apoC3, apoE, apoM, apoJ, apoL1, and LCAT. We used high resolution parallel reaction monitoring and XPI software to measure tracer enrichment in these 9 proteins across the 6 HDL sizes. We found that the HC diet increased apoA2 and decreased apoA1 and apoA4 pool sizes on large HDL. The HC diet increased apoA1 and apoE turnover on large α1 and α2 and 3, respectively.
Conclusions:
Dietary carbohydrate when it replaces unsaturated fat alters the HDL proteome and metabolism of several HDL proteins on specific HDL sizes. Carbohydrate increases the abundance of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and the acute phase response, decreases antioxidant and protease inhibitor proteins, and enhances turnover of apoE and apoA1. This study suggests that diet modulates HDL function by affecting HDL composition and the metabolism of major HDL proteins.

Abstract
We developed an automated quantification workflow for PRM-enabled detection of D3-Leu labeled apoA-I in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) isolated from humans. Subjects received a bolus injection of D3-Leu and blood was drawn at eight time points over three days. HDL was isolated and separated into six size fractions for subsequent proteolysis and PRM analysis for the detection of D3-Leu signal from ∼0.03 to 0.6% enrichment. We implemented an intensity-based quantification approach that takes advantage of high-resolution/accurate mass PRM scans to identify the D3-Leu 2HM3 ion from non-specific peaks. Our workflow includes five modules for extracting the targeted PRM peak intensities (XPIs): Peak centroiding, noise removal, fragment ion matching using Δm/z windows, nine intensity quantification options, and validation and visualization outputs. We optimized the XPI workflow using in vitro synthesized and clinical samples of D0/D3-Leu labeled apoA-I. Three subjects' apoA-I enrichment curves in six HDL size fractions, and LCAT, apoA-II and apoE from two size fractions were generated within a few hours. Our PRM strategy and automated quantification workflow will expedite the turnaround of HDL apoA-I metabolism data in clinical studies that aim to understand and treat the mechanisms behind dyslipidemia.

Abstract
HDLs are a family of heterogeneous particles that vary in size, composition, and function. The structure of most HDLs is maintained by two scaffold proteins, apoA-I and apoA-II, but up to 95 other "accessory" proteins have been found associated with the particles. Recent evidence suggests that these accessory proteins are distributed across various subspecies and drive specific biological functions. Unfortunately, our understanding of the molecular composition of such subspecies is limited. To begin to address this issue, we separated human plasma and HDL isolated by ultracentrifugation (UC-HDL) into particles with apoA-I and no apoA-II (LpA-I) and those with both apoA-I and apoA-II (LpA-I/A-II). MS studies revealed distinct differences between the subfractions. LpA-I exhibited significantly more protein diversity than LpA-I/A-II when isolated directly from plasma. However, this difference was lost in UC-HDL. Most LpA-I/A-II accessory proteins were associated with lipid transport pathways, whereas those in LpA-I were associated with inflammatory response, hemostasis, immune response, metal ion binding, and protease inhibition. We found that the presence of apoA-II enhanced ABCA1-mediated efflux compared with LpA-I particles. This effect was independent of the accessory protein signature suggesting that apoA-II induces a structural change in apoA-I in HDLs.

Abstract
Introduction:
Studying the kinetics of several HDL apolipoproteins together may help elucidate their function in HDL metabolism. We present multicompartmental analysis describing the metabolism of several apolipoproteins across 5 HDL size fractions.
Methods and Results:
Three participants were infused with a bolus of D3-Leu tracer, and blood was collected for 70 hrs. ApoA-I-HDL was prepared by immunoaffinity purification, separated into 5 size fractions, preβ, α3, α2, α1, and α0, by ND-PAGE, and in-gel trypsinized for mass spectrometry. We monitored 7 proteins that likely affect HDL metabolism - apoA-I, apoA-II, apoE, apoM, apoC-III, apoA-IV, and apoD. We used stable isotope labeled peptide standards to quantify pool size and high resolution parallel reaction monitoring to measure tracer enrichment in these 7 proteins in the 5 HDL size fractions. These data were then used for multicompartmental analysis to describe the kinetic behaviors across HDL size for each apolipoprotein, with the exception of apoD. All size fractions with discernible enrichment curves for at least 2 participants were included in the final model for each apolipoprotein (Fig.1). The majority of apoA-I α HDL originated form the source compartment, presumably the liver and/or small intestine, while apoA-I preβ HDL came primarily from α3. Size expansion pathways (preβ to α1/2, and α3 to α2) contributed only slightly to apoA-I metabolism. Similarly to apoA-I on the α sizes, the majority of the other apolipoproteins appear on each HDL size fraction directly from the source compartment. Only minor flux pathways from smaller to larger HDL sizes were identified: apoA-II, α3 to α2; apoE, α3 to α2, and α3 to α1.
Conclusions:
This study supports the new model of HDL metabolism in which HDL and its attached apolipoproteins are metabolized mainly within each HDL size fraction. Pathways between HDL sizes only provide a small contribution to the metabolism of each apolipoprotein.

Abstract
Endogenous labeling with stable isotopes is used to study the metabolism of proteins in vivo. However, traditional detection methods such as GC/MS cannot measure tracer enrichment in multiple proteins simultaneously, and multiple reaction monitoring MS cannot measure precisely the low tracer enrichment in slowly turning-over proteins as in HDL. We exploited the versatility of the high-resolution/accurate mass (HR/AM) quadrupole Orbitrap for proteomic analysis of five HDL sizes. We identified 58 proteins in HDL that were shared among three humans and that were organized into five subproteomes according to HDL size. For seven of these proteins, apoA-I, apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoC-III, apoD, apoE, and apoM, we performed parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) to measure trideuterated leucine tracer enrichment between 0.03 to 1.0% in vivo, as required to study their metabolism. The results were suitable for multicompartmental modeling in all except apoD. These apolipoproteins in each HDL size mainly originated directly from the source compartment, presumably the liver and intestine. Flux of apolipoproteins from smaller to larger HDL or the reverse contributed only slightly to apolipoprotein metabolism. These novel findings on HDL apolipoprotein metabolism demonstrate the analytical breadth and scope of the HR/AM-PRM technology to perform metabolic research.

Abstract
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) has broad actions on T and B cells, but its actions in innate immunity are poorly understood. Here we show that IL-21 induced apoptosis of conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) via STAT3 and Bim, and this was inhibited by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). ChIP-Seq analysis revealed genome-wide binding competition between GM-CSF-induced STAT5 and IL-21-induced STAT3. Expression of IL-21 in vivo decreased cDC numbers, and this was prevented by GM-CSF. Moreover, repetitive α-galactosylceramide injection of mice induced IL-21 but decreased GM-CSF production by natural killer T (NKT) cells, correlating with decreased cDC numbers. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of wild-type CD4+ T cells caused more severe colitis with increased DCs and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing CD4+ T cells in Il21r(-/-)Rag2(-/-) mice (which lack T cells and have IL-21-unresponsive DCs) than in Rag2(-/-) mice. Thus, IL-21 and GM-CSF exhibit cross-regulatory actions on gene regulation and apoptosis, regulating cDC numbers and thereby the magnitude of the immune response.
