N2 - Retention of apolipoprotein (apo)B and apoE-containing lipoproteins by extracellular vascular proteoglycans is critical in atherogenesis. Moreover, high circulating apoG-III levels are associated with increased atherosclerosis risk. To test whether apoC-III content of apoB-containing lipoproteins affects their ability to bind to the vascular proteoglycan biglycan, we evaluated the impact of apoC-III on the interaction of [S-35]SO4-biglycan derived from cultured arterial smooth muscle cells with lipoproteins obtained from. individuals across a spectrum of lipid concentrations. The extent of biglycan binding correlated positively with apoC-III levels within VLDL (r = 0.78, P <0.01), IDL (r = 0.67, P <0.01), and LDL (r = 0.52, P <0.05). Moreover, the biglycan binding of VLDL, IDL, and LDL was reduced after depletion of apoC-III-containing lipoprotein particles in plasma by anti-apoC-Ill immunoaffinity chromatography. Since apoG-III does not bind biglycan directly, enhanced biglycan binding may result from a conformational change associated with increased apo GIII content by which apoB and/or apoE become more accessible to proteoglycans. This may be an intrinsic property of lipoproteins, since exogenous apoC-III enrichment of LDL and VLDL did not increase binding. ApoC-III content may thus be a marker for lipoproteins characterized as having an increased ability to bind proteoglycans.
