Kinetics of phospholipid transfer between liposomes (neutral or negatively charged) and high-density lipoproteins: a spin-label study of early events.

The kinetics of spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine transfer between vesicles and HDL particles exhibited a two-phase process, as seen by ESR spectroscopy. The results were analyzed by considering several possible steps in the overall transfer, whose aspects were also studied: (i) micellar complex formation after HDL apolipoprotein-vesicle mixture, (ii) the rate of PC transfer from the micellar complex to HDL, (iii) the rate of the reverse reaction between overloaded HDL particles and other particles such as HDLs, LDLs, and lipid vesicles. The results agree most convincingly with a mechanism in which the diffusion of phospholipids into the HDL-endogenous lipids is the limiting step, occurring as a two-step process. In addition, we observed a negative charge effect on the lipid transfer rates and yields.[1]
