HDLs induce raft domain vanishing in heterogeneous giant vesicles

Abstract

Cholesterol efflux from the plasma membrane to HDLs is essential for cell cholesterol homeostasis. Recently, cholesterol-enriched ordered membrane domains, i.e. lipid rafts have been proposed to play an important role in this process. Here we introduce a new method to investigate the role of HDL interactions with the raft lipid phase and to directly visualize the effects of HDL-induced cholesterol efflux on rafts in model membranes. Addition of HDLs to giant lipid vesicles containing raft-type domains promoted decrease in size and disappearance of such domains as visualized by fluorescence microscopy. This was interpreted as resulting from cholesterol efflux from the vesicles to the HDLs. The raft vanishing rate was directly related to the HDL concentration. Evidence for a direct interaction of HDLs with the membrane was obtained by observing mutual adhesion of vesicles. It is suggested that the present method can be used to study the selective role of the bilayer lipid phase (raft and non-raft) in cholesterol efflux and membrane–HDL interaction and their underlying mechanisms. Such mechanisms may contribute to cholesterol efflux in vivo.
