Abstract

The present disclosure relates to lipoprotein complexes and lipoprotein populations and their use in the treatment and/or prevention of dyslipidemic diseases, disorders, and/or conditions. The disclosure further relates to recombinant expression of apolipoproteins, purification of apolipoproteins, and production of lipoprotein complexes using thermal cycling-based methods.

Claims (36)

1. A method for preparing lipoprotein complexes, comprising:

(a) cooling a starting suspension comprising a lipid component and a protein component from a temperature in a first temperature range to a temperature in a second temperature range, wherein:

(i) the lipid component comprises sphingomyelin;

(ii) the protein component comprises Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac (1-glycerol)] (“DPPG”);

(iii) the weight:weight (wt:wt) ratio of the sphingomyelin to the DPPG in the starting suspension is 97:3;

(iv) the protein:total lipid weight ratio in the starting suspension is 1:2.7; and

(v) the first temperature range is 55° C. to 60° C. and the second temperature range is between 35° C. and 40° C.;

(b) heating the cooled suspension of (a) from a temperature in the second temperature range to a temperature in the first temperature range;

(c) cooling the heated suspension of (b) from a temperature in the first temperature range to a temperature in the second temperature range; and

(d) repeating steps (b) and (c) until at least 80% of the protein component is incorporated into lipoprotein complexes,

thereby forming lipoprotein complexes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ApoA-I is a human ApoA-I protein.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Apo A-I is a recombinant ApoA-I.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the lipid component and the protein component are each preheated at a temperature in the first range.

18. The method of claim 16 , which further comprises, prior to the step of forming the starting suspension, the step of subjecting the lipid component to high pressure homogenization.
