Abstract
OBJECTIVE: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) displays multiple atheroprotective activities and is highly heterogeneous in structure, composition, and function; the molecular determinants of atheroprotective functions of HDL are incompletely understood. Because phospholipids represent a major bioactive lipid component of HDL, we characterized the phosphosphingolipidome of major normolipidemic HDL subpopulations and related it to HDL functionality. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Using an original liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry methodology for phospholipid and sphingolipid profiling, 162 individual molecular lipid species were quantified across the 9 lipid subclasses, in the order of decreasing abundance, phosphatidylcholine>sphingomyelin>lysophosphatidylcholine>phosphatidylethanolamine>phosphatidylinositol>ceramide>phosphatidylserine>phosphatidylglycerol>phosphatidic acid. When data were expressed relative to total lipid, the contents of lysophosphatidylcholine and of negatively charged phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid increased progressively with increase in hydrated density of HDL, whereas the proportions of sphingomyelin and ceramide decreased. Key biological activities of HDL subpopulations, notably cholesterol efflux capacity from human THP-1 macrophages, antioxidative activity toward low-density lipoprotein oxidation, antithrombotic activity in human platelets, cell-free anti-inflammatory activity, and antiapoptotic activity in endothelial cells, were predominantly associated with small, dense, protein-rich HDL3. The biological activities of HDL particles were strongly intercorrelated, exhibiting significant correlations with multiple components of the HDL phosphosphingolipidome. Specifically, the content of phosphatidylserine revealed positive correlations with all metrics of HDL functionality, reflecting enrichment of phosphatidylserine in small, dense HDL3. CONCLUSIONS: Our structure-function analysis thereby reveals that the HDL lipidome may strongly affect atheroprotective functionality.
