Overview

HDL is the most heterogeneous and the most complicated among the lipoproteins. HDL does not only represent one structure but rather refer to a dynamic collection of HDL subgroups which are sequentially produced. The different HDL subgroups differ in their physiochemical characteristics, lipid components, apolipoprotein types, electrophoretic mobility, density and function.[1][2]

Classification

High density lipoproteins (HDLs) are highly heterogenous in their physiochemical characteristics due to the differences in relative composition of surface apolipoproteins thus may be classified based upon buoyant density, size, charge, or apolipoprotein contents. Moreover, the amphiphatic helical structure of apoA-I possesses a hinge domain that allows it to switch between different conformations corresponding to HDLs of varying size.[3]

With density gradient ultracentrifugation, HDL can be separated into HDL2, HDL3, and very-high-density lipoprotein (VHDL). Nondenaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis may also be used to classify HDLs into five distinct populations of decreasing size, HDL2b, HDL2a, HDL3a, HDL3b, and HDL3c.[4][5] Isopycnic density gradient ultracentrifugation has also been used to analyze the fasting plasma to yield similar analytical delineations.[6][7] Yet another method of classifying HDL lipoprotein particles by size is nuclear magnetic resonance.[8] A more advanced technique by utilizing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has been used to resolve HDL particles in the plasma into lipid-poor pre-β-HDLs and α-HDL that predominantly contains mature spherical cholesteryl esters.[9]

Density

HDLs are typically ultracentrifugally fractionated into two major populations.[10][11]

Note that HDL2 is larger and less dense whereas HDL3 is smaller and less dense.

  • HDL2 (large; density: 1.063-1.125 g/ml; size: 8.8 to 13 nm)
  • HDL3 (small; density: 1.125-1.21 g/ml; size: 7.3 to 8.2 nm)[12]

Size

HDL has been separated on the basis of size by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis.[10] From larger to smaller:

  • HDL2b
  • HDL2a
  • HDL3a
  • HDL3b
  • HDL3c[12]

Another classification is:

  • Very large HDL particles (VL-HDL)
  • Large HDL particles (L-HDL)
  • Medium HDL particles (M-HDL)
  • Small HDL particles (S-HDL)
  • Very-small HDL particles (VS-HDL)
  • Pre-β-1 HDL (role in macrophage cholesterol efflux)[1]

Apolipoprotein Content

  • Lipoprotein A-I (HDL contains ApoA-I)
  • Lipoprotein A-I/A-II (HDL contains ApoA-I and ApoA-II)
  • Lipoprotein A-IV
  • Lipoprotein E[10][12]

Surface Charge

HDL has been separated according to charge by agarose gel electrophoresis.[10]

  • Pre-beta (positive)
  • Pre-alpha
  • Alpha (negative)

Note that pre-beta < pre-alpha < alpha.
