Abstract

The growth-promoting activity of human high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and of their apolipoprotein components on bovine vascular endothelial cells in vitro has been compared. When maintained on plastic culture dishes and exposed to medium containing lipoprotein-deficient serum and fibroblast growth factor, these cells do not proliferate. Addition of either HDL or the total HDL apolipoproteins induces significant cell proliferation. Apolipoprotein C I, purified by chromatography on the ion-exchanger resin Polybuffer exchanger 94, has an effect on the cell growth similar to that of the total apolipoproteins of HDL.
