    Abstract:
    In severe trauma, sepsis or during surgery, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) frequently enters the circulation. Persons with high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) have previously demonstrated higher monocyte procoagulant activity (PCA) when whole blood is challenged with LPS. The aim of the study was to investigate the distribution of radiolabelled LPS (125I-LPS) in plasma from six persons with high (2.14-2.82 mmol l-1) and six persons with low (0.54-1.04 nmol l-1) HDL, subjecting plasma to fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), or agarose electrophoresis followed by quantitative autoradiography. In heparin plasma 125I-LPS was located mainly in parts of plasma containing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and the immunoglobulins, and located to a lesser extent in HDL. However, persons with high HDL showed significantly higher binding of 125I-LPS to HDL and the immunoglobulins, probably to IgG, and significantly lower binding to LDL/VLDL. In calcium-depleted plasma (EDTA) 125I-LPS demonstrated a sharp increase in the binding to HDL, combined with a persistently high binding to LDL/VLDL and binding to the immunoglobulins was almost eliminated in all subjects investigated. Likewise, the binding of 125I-LPS to HDL in EDTA plasma was also significantly higher and to LDL/VLDL significantly lower in persons with high HDL. This study demonstrates that the distribution of 125I-LPS in heparin and EDTA plasma from persons with high or low HDL is different, which is presumed to be of importance concerning the various bioactivities of LPS.
