In the human hepatic cell line, HepG2, apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) degradation is increased by inhibiting lipid transfer mediated by the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and is predominantly accomplished by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In the current study, we determined whether this degradative pathway was restricted to HepG2 cells or was of more general importance in hepatic apoB100 metabolism. Rat hepatoma McArdle RH7777 cells (McA), compared to HepG2 cells, secrete a large fraction of apoB100 associated with VLDL particles, as does the normal mammalian liver. In McA cells studied under basal conditions, the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin (LAC) increased apoB100 recovery, indicating that the role of the proteasome in apoB100 metabolism is not restricted to HepG2 cells. When apoB100 lipidation was blocked by an inhibitor of MTP (MTPI), recovery of cellular apoB100 was markedly reduced, but LAC was only partially ( approximately 50%) effective in reversing the induced degradation. This partial effectiveness of LAC may have represented either (1) incomplete inhibition by LAC of its preferred target, the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome, (2) the presence of an apoB100 proteolytic activity of the proteasome resistant to LAC, or (3) a nonproteasomal proteolytic pathway of apoB100 degradation. By studying immunoisolated proteasomes and McA cells treated with LAC and/or MTPI and a variety of protease inhibitors, we determined that the proteasomal component of apoB100 degradation was entirely attributable to the chymotrypsin-like catalytic activity, but only accounted for part of apoB100 degradation induced by MTPI. The nonproteasomal apoB100 degradative pathway was nonlysosomal and resistant to E64d, DTT, and peptide aldehydes such as MG132 or ALLN but was partially sensitive to the serine protease inhibitor APMSF. Furthermore, when the protein trafficking inhibitor, brefeldin A, was used to block endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport in MTPI-treated McA cells, degradative activity resistant to LAC was increased, suggesting that the nonproteasomal pathway is associated with the ER. 相似文献

In HepG2 cells, inhibition of apolipoprotein B100 (apoB) translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum by an microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (CP-10447) in the presence of N-acetyl-leucinyl-norleucinal, a proteasomal inhibitor, results in accumulation of newly synthesized apoB in the translocation channel. Here we demonstrated that such accumulation led to a specific reduction of apoB synthesis. ApoB mRNA levels remained unchanged, but we observed reduced rates of elongation of nascent apoB in puromycin-synchronized cells pretreated with MTP inhibitor. This observation was consistent with a longer half-ribosome transit time for the synthesis of apoB in MTP-inhibited cells. Initiation of translation of apoB mRNA was not impaired by MTP inhibition. Overall, these findings suggest that translocation arrest of apoB in the endoplasmic reticulum channel can exert a selective and negative effect on the synthesis of apoB at the stage of elongation. 相似文献

Differential regulation of apolipoprotein B secretion from HepG2 cells by two HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, atorvastatin and simvastatin. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The concept that hepatic cholesterol synthesis regulates hepatocyte assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins remains controversial. The present study was carried out in HepG2 cells to examine the regulation of apoB secretion by the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor atorvastatin. ApoB accumulation in the media was decreased by 24% and 36% at 10 microm (P < 0.02) and 20 microm (P < 0.01) of atorvastatin, respectively. Atorvastatin inhibited HepG2 cell cholesterol synthesis by up to 96% (P < 0.001) and cellular cholesteryl ester (CE) mass by 54% (P < 0.001). Another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, simvastatin, decreased cellular cholesterol synthesis and CE mass by up to 96% (P < 0.001) and 52% (P < 0.001), respectively. However, in contrast to atorvastatin, simvastatin had no effect on apoB secretion. To characterize the reduction in apoB secretion by atorvastatin (10 microm), pulse-chase experiments were performed and the kinetic data were analyzed by multicompartmental modeling using SAAM II. Atorvastatin had no affect on the synthesis of apoB, however, apoB secretion into the media was decreased by 44% (P = 0.048). Intracellular apoB degradation increased proportionately (P = 0.048). Simvastatin (10 microm) treatment did not significantly alter either the secretion or intracellular degradation of apoB, relative to control. The kinetics of apoB degradation were best described by a rapidly and a slowly turning over degradation compartment. The effect of atorvastatin on apoB degradation was largely confined to the rapid compartment. Neither inhibitor affected apoB mRNA concentrations, however, both significantly increased LDL receptor and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels. Atorvastatin treatment also decreased the mRNA for the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) by 22% (P < 0.02). These results show that atorvastatin decreases apoB secretion, by a mechanism that results in an enhanced intracellular degradation in apoB. 相似文献

The grapefruit flavonoid, naringenin, is hypocholesterolemic in vivo, and inhibits basal apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion and the expression and activities of both ACAT and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in human hepatoma cells (HepG2). In this report, we examined the effects of naringenin on apoB kinetics in oleate-stimulated HepG2 cells and determined the contribution of microsomal lumen cholesteryl ester (CE) availability to apoB secretion. Pulse-chase studies of apoB secretion and intracellular degradation were analyzed by multicompartmental modeling. The model for apoB metabolism in HepG2 cells includes an intracellular compartment from which apoB can be either secreted or degraded by both rapid and slow pathways. In the presence of 0.1 mM oleic acid, naringenin (200 micro M) reduced the secretion of newly synthesized apoB by 52%, due to a 56% reduction in the rate constant for secretion. Intracellular degradation was significantly increased due to a selective increase in rapid degradation, while slow degradation was unaffected. Incubation with either N-acetyl-leucinyl-leucinyl-norleucinal (ALLN) or lactacystin showed that degradation via the rapid pathway was largely proteasomal. Although these changes in apoB metabolism were accompanied by significant reductions in CE synthesis and mass, subcellular fractionation experiments comparing naringenin to specific ACAT and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors revealed that reduced accumulation of newly synthesized CE in the microsomal lumen is not consistently associated with reduced apoB secretion. However, naringenin, unlike the ACAT and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, significantly reduced lumenal TG accumulation. We conclude that naringenin inhibits apoB secretion in oleate-stimulated HepG2 cells and selectively increases intracellular degradation via a largely proteasomal, rapid kinetic pathway. Although naringenin inhibits ACAT, CE availability in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen does not appear to regulate apoB secretion in HepG2 cells. Rather, inhibition of TG accumulation in the ER lumen via inhibition of MTP is the primary mechanism blocking apoB secretion. 相似文献

Although microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and newly synthesized triglyceride (TG) are critical for co-translational targeting of apolipoprotein B (apoB100) to lipoprotein assembly in hepatoma cell lines, their roles in the later stages of lipoprotein assembly remain unclear. Using N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleucinal to prevent proteasomal degradation, HepG2 cells were radiolabeled and chased for 0-90 min (chase I). The medium was changed and cells chased for another 150 min (chase II) in the absence (control) or presence of Pfizer MTP inhibitor CP-10447 (CP). As chase I was extended, inhibition of apoB100 secretion by CP during chase II decreased from 75.9% to only 15% of control (no CP during chase II). Additional studies were conducted in which chase I was either 0 or 90 min, and chase II was in the presence of [(3)H]glycerol and either BSA (control), CP (inhibits both MTP activity and TG synthesis),BMS-1976360-1) (BMS) (inhibits only MTP activity), or triacsin C (TC) (inhibits only TG synthesis). When chase I was 0 min, CP, BMS, and TC reduced apoB100 secretion during chase II by 75.3, 73.9, and 53.9%. However, when chase I was 90 min, those agents reduced apoB100 secretion during chase II by only 16.0, 19.2, and 13.9%. Of note, all three inhibited secretion of newly synthesized TG during chase II by 80, 80, and 40%, whether chase I was 0 or 90 min. In both HepG2 cells and McA-RH7777 cells, if chase I was at least 60 min, inhibition of TG synthesis and/or MTP activity did not affect the density of secreted apoB100-lipoproteins under basal conditions. Oleic acid increased secretion of TG-enriched apoB100-lipoproteins similarly in the absence or presence of either of CP, BMS, or TC. We conclude that neither MTP nor newly synthesized TG is necessary for the later stages of apoB100-lipoprotein assembly and secretion in either HepG2 or McA-RH7777 cells. 相似文献

Due to the absence of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells lack the ability to translocate apoB into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, causing apoB to be rapidly degraded by an N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal-inhibitable process. The goal of this study was to examine if expression of MTP, whose genetic deletion is responsible for the human recessive disorder abetalipoproteinemia, would recapitulate the lipoprotein assembly pathway in CHO cells. Unexpectedly, expression of MTP mRNA and protein in CHO cells did not allow apoB-containing lipoproteins to be assembled and secreted by CHO cells expressing apoB53. Although expression of MTP in cells allowed apoB to completely enter the endoplasmic reticulum, it was degraded by a proteolytic process that was inhibited by dithiothreitol (1 mM) and chloroquine (100 microM), but resistant to N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal. In marked contrast, coexpression of the liver-specific gene product cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase with MTP resulted in levels of MTP lipid transfer activity that were similar to those in mouse liver and allowed intact apoB53 to be secreted as a lipoprotein particle. These data suggest that, although MTP-facilitated lipid transport is not required for apoB translocation, it is required for the secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins. We propose that, in CHO cells, MTP plays two roles in the assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins: 1) it acts as a chaperone that facilitates apoB53 translocation, and 2) its lipid transfer activity allows apoB-containing lipoproteins to be assembled and secreted. Our results suggest that the phenotype of the cell (e.g. expression of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase by the liver) may profoundly influence the metabolic relationships determining how apoB is processed into lipoproteins and/or degraded. 相似文献

Decreased secretion of ApoB follows inhibition of ApoB-MTP binding by a novel antagonist 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) are essential for the efficient assembly of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Evidence has been presented for physical interactions between these proteins. To study the importance of apoB-MTP binding in apoB secretion, we have identified a compound, AGI-S17, that inhibited (60-70% at 40 microM) the binding of various apoB peptides to MTP but not to an anti-apoB monoclonal antibody, 1D1, whose epitope overlaps with an MTP binding site in apoB. AGI-S17 had no significant effect on the lipid transfer activity of the purified MTP. In contrast, another antagonist, BMS-200150, did not affect apoB-MTP binding but inhibited MTP's lipid transfer activity. The differential effects of these inhibitors suggest two functionally independent, apoB binding and lipid transfer, domains in MTP. AGI-S17 was then used to study its effect on the lipid transfer and apoB binding activities of MTP in HepG2 cells. AGI-S17 had no effect on cellular lipid transfer activities, but it inhibited coimmunoprecipitation of apoB with MTP. These studies indicate that AGI-S17 inhibits apoB-MTP binding but has no effect on MTP's lipid transfer activity. Experiments were then performed to study the effect of inhibition of apoB-MTP binding on apoB secretion in HepG2 cells. AGI-S17 (40 microM) did not affect cell protein levels but decreased the total mass of apoB secreted by 70-85%. Similarly, AGI-S17 inhibited the secretion of nascent apoB by 60-80%, but did not affect albumin secretion. These studies indicate that AGI-S17 decreases apoB secretion most likely by inhibiting apoB-MTP interactions. Thus, the binding of MTP to apoB may be important for the assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins and can be a potential target for the development of lipid-lowering drugs. It is proposed that the apoB binding may represent MTP's chaperone activity that assists in the transfer from the membrane to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and in the net lipidation of nascent apoB, and may be essential for lipoprotein assembly and secretion. 相似文献

Cotranslational translocation of apoB100 across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane is inefficient, resulting in exposure of nascent apoB on the cytosolic surface of the ER. This predisposes apoB100 to ubiquitinylation and targeting for proteasomal degradation. It has been suggested that pause transfer sequences (PTS) present throughout apoB cause inefficient translocation. On the other hand, our previous study demonstrated that the translocation efficiency of apoB100 is dependent on the presence of a beta-sheet domain between 29 and 34% of full-length apoB100 (Liang, J.-S., Wu, X., Jiang, H., Zhou, M., Yang, H., Angkeow, P., Huang, L.-S., Sturley, S. L., and Ginsberg, H. N. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 35216-35221); this region of apoB has no PTS. However, the effects of the beta-sheet domain may require the presence of PTS elsewhere in the N-terminal region of apoB100. To further investigate the roles of PTS and beta-sheet domains in the translocation of apoB100 across the ER, we transfected McArdle RH7777, HepG2, or Chinese hamster ovary cells with human albumin (ALB)/human apoB chimeric cDNA constructs: ALB/B12-17 (two PTS but no beta-sheet), ALB/B29-34 (beta-sheet but no PTS), ALB/B36-41 (two PTS and a beta-sheet), and ALB/B49-54 (neither PTS nor a beta-sheet). ALB/ALB1-40 served as a control. Compared with ALB/ALB1-40, secretion rates of ALB/B12-17, ALB/B29-34, and ALB/B36-41 were reduced. Secretion of ALB/B49-54 was similar to that of ALB/ALB1-40. However, only ALB/B29-34 and ALB/B36-41 had increased proteinase K sensitivity, ubiquitinylation, and increased physical interaction with Sec61alpha. These results indicate that the translocation efficiency of apoB100 is determined mainly by the presence of beta-sheet domains. PTS do not appear to affect translocation, but may affect secretion by other mechanisms. 相似文献

Recent studies indicate that microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) interact physically via two specific binding sites located within the amino-terminal globular region of apoB100. The first site is thought to be within the first 5.8% of the amino-terminal sequence, and the second site is between 9 and 16% of the amino-terminal sequence. It is not clear from prior studies whether these sites have unique or overlapping functions. Furthermore, there are no data differentiating between lipid transfer and potential chaperone functions of MTP. In the present study we have attempted to further characterize the physiologic interaction between apoB and MTP and to determine the relationship between the binding and lipid transfer aspects of the interaction. HepG2 cells were transiently transfected with apoB cDNAs, and MTP binding to apoB polypeptides was determined by two-step immunoprecipitation. MTP bound equally well to apoB polypeptides with (apoB13, 16,beta, apoB34, and apoB42) or without (apoB16, apoB13, and 16 or apoB13, 13, and 16) beta sheet domains. When proteasomal degradation of newly synthesized apoB polypeptides was blocked, MTP binding to all of the apoB polypeptides was only modestly affected by lipid availability and was independent of MTP-associated lipid transfer. Furthermore, MTP did not bind directly to a portion of the first beta sheet domain. We created two apoB constructs (apoB16del and apoB34del) by deleting the first 210 amino acids of apoB16 and apoB34. These apoB polypeptides, therefore, lacked the putative first MTP binding site. MTP binding to apoB16del and apoB34del was decreased significantly. However, the secretion of apoB16del was not different from apoB16, whereas the secretion of apoB34del was impaired significantly. Our results indicate that the interaction between MTP and apoB involves independent binding and lipid transfer activities but that both activities are required for the secretion of apolipoprotein B from liver cells. 相似文献

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and its role in apoB-lipoprotein assembly 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) are necessary for lipoprotein assembly. ApoB consists of five structural domains, betaalpha(1)-beta(1)-alpha(2)-beta(2)-alpha(3). We propose that MTP contains three structural motifs (N-terminal beta-barrel, central alpha-helix, and C-terminal lipid cavity) and three functional domains (lipid transfer, membrane associating, and apoB binding). MTP's lipid transfer activity is required for the assembly of lipoproteins. This activity renders nascent apoB secretion-competent and may be involved in the import of triglycerides into the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, MTP binds to apoB with high affinity involving ionic interactions. MTP interacts at multiple sites in the N-terminal betaalpha(1) structural domain of apoB. A novel antagonist that inhibits apoB-MTP binding decreases apoB secretion. Furthermore, site-directed mutagenesis and deletion analyses that inhibit apoB-MTP binding decrease apoB secretion. Lipids modulate protein-protein interactions between apoB and MTP. Lipids associated with MTP increase apoB-MTP binding whereas lipids associated with apoB decrease this binding. Thus, specific antagonist, site-directed mutagenesis, deletion analyses, and modulation studies support the notion that apoB-MTP binding plays a role in lipoprotein biogenesis. However, specific steps in lipoprotein assembly that require apoB-MTP binding have not been identified. ApoB-MTP binding may be important for the prevention of degradation and lipidation of nascent apoB. 相似文献

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is essential for the secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB)48- and apoB100-containing lipoproteins in the intestine and liver, respectively. Loss of function mutations in MTP cause abetalipoproteinemia. Heterologous cells are used to evaluate the function of MTP in apoB secretion to avoid background MTP activity in liver and intestine-derived cells. However, these systems are not suitable to study the role of MTP in the secretion of apoB100-containing lipoproteins, as expression of a large apoB100 peptide using plasmids is difficult. Here, we report a new cell culture model amenable for studying the role of different MTP mutations on apoB100 secretion. The endogenous MTTP gene was ablated in human hepatoma Huh-7 cells using single guide RNA and RNA-guided clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated sequence 9 ribonucleoprotein complexes. We successfully established three different clones that did not express any detectable MTTP mRNA or MTP protein or activity. These cells were defective in secreting apoB-containing lipoproteins and accumulated lipids. Furthermore, we show that transfection of these cells with plasmids expressing human MTTP cDNA resulted in the expression of MTP protein, restoration of triglyceride transfer activity, and secretion of apoB100. Thus, these new cells can be valuable tools for studying structure-function of MTP, roles of different missense mutations in various lipid transfer activities of MTP, and their ability to support apoB100 secretion, compensatory changes associated with loss of MTP, and in the identification of novel proteins that may require MTP for their synthesis and secretion. 相似文献

Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), a large particle containing apolipoprotein B (apoB) and large amounts of neutral lipids, is formed in the luminal space within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatic cells. The assembly mechanism of VLDL particles is a tightly regulated process where apoB, associated with an insufficient amount of lipids, is selectively degraded intracellularly. In this study we found that treatment of HuH-7 human hepatoma cells with verapamil inhibited secretion of apoB-containing lipoprotein particles through increasing degradation of apoB. Addition of N-acetylleucyl-leucyl-norleucinal, an inhibitor of proteasome and other cysteinyl proteases that are responsible for apoB degradation, restored apoB recovery from verapamil-treated cells. De novo synthesis of lipids from [14C]acetate was increased in the presence of verapamil, suggesting that verapamil decreases lipid availability for apoB thus leading to the secretion of apoB-containing lipoprotein. We prepared cytosolic fractions from cells preincubated with [14C]acetate and used as a donor of radioactive lipids. When this cytosolic fraction was incubated with microsomes isolated separately, radioactive triglyceride (TG) accumulated in the luminal space of the microsomes. The transfer of radioactive TG from the cytosolic fraction to the microsomal lumen was inhibited in the presence of verapamil, suggesting that there is a verapamil-sensitive mechanism for TG transfer across ER membranes that is involved in formation of apoB-containing lipoprotein particles in ER. Verapamil showed no inhibitory effect on microsomal TG transfer protein, a well known lipid transfer protein in ER. We propose from these results that there is novel machinery for transmembrane movement of neutral lipids, which is involved in providing TG for apoB during VLDL assembly in ER. 相似文献

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) interferes with triglyceride secretion and causes steatosis, fibrosis, and necrosis. In mice, CCl(4) decreased plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, increased cellular lipids, and reduced microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) without diminishing mRNA levels. Similarly, CCl(4) decreased apoB-lipoprotein production and MTP activity but had no effect on mRNA levels in primary enterocytes and colon carcinoma and hepatoma cells. CCl(4) did not affect MTP synthesis but induced post-translational degradation involving ubiquitinylation and proteasomes in McA-RH7777 cells. By contrast, MTP inhibitor increased cellular lipids without affecting MTP protein. MTP was covalently modified when cells were incubated with (14)CCl(4). This modification was prevented by the inhibition of P450 oxygenases, indicating that CCl(3)(.) generated by these enzymes targets MTP for degradation. To determine whether inhibition of proteolysis could prevent CCl(4) toxicity, mice were fed with CCl(4) with or without lactacystin. Lactacystin increased ubiquitinylated MTP and prevented lipid accumulation in tissues. Thus, CCl(4) induces post-translational degradation without affecting lipid transfer activity, whereas MTP antagonist inhibits lipid transfer activity without causing its destruction. These studies identify MTP as a major target of CCl(4) and its degradation as a novel mechanism involved in the onset of steatosis, suggesting that inhibition of proteolysis may prevent some forms of steatosis. 相似文献

Blocking microsomal triglyceride transfer protein interferes with apoB secretion without causing retention or stress in the ER 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is an intraluminal protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is essential for the assembly of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins. In this study, we examine how the livers of mice respond to two distinct methods of blocking MTP function: Cre-mediated disruption of the gene for MTP and chemical inhibition of MTP activity. Blocking MTP significantly reduced plasma levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, and apoB-containing lipoproteins in both wild-type C57BL/6 and LDL receptor-deficient mice. While treating LDL receptor-deficient mice with an MTP inhibitor for 7 days lowered plasma lipids to control levels, liver triglyceride levels were increased by only 4-fold. Plasma levels of apoB-100 and apoB-48 fell by >90% and 65%, respectively, but neither apoB isoform accumulated in hepatic microsomes. Surprisingly, loss of MTP expression was associated with a nearly complete absence of apoB-100 in hepatic microsomes. Levels of microsomal luminal chaperone proteins [e.g., protein disulfide isomerase, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), and GRP94] and cytosolic heat shock proteins (HSPs) (e.g., HSP60, HSC, HSP70, and HSP90) were unaffected by MTP inhibition. These findings show that the liver responds rapidly to inhibition of MTP by degrading apoB and preventing its accumulation in the ER. The rapid degradation of secretion-incompetent apoB in the ER may block the induction of proteins associated with unfolded protein and heat shock responses. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that the N-terminal 1000 amino acid residues of human apolipoprotein (apo) B (designated apoB:1000) are competent to fold into a three-sided lipovitellin-like lipid binding cavity to form the apoB "lipid pocket" without a structural requirement for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). Our results established that this primordial apoB-containing particle is phospholipid-rich (Manchekar, M., Richardson, P. E., Forte, T. M., Datta, G., Segrest, J. P., and Dashti, N. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 39757-39766). In this study we have investigated the putative functional role of MTP in the initial lipidation of apoB:1000 in stable transformants of McA-RH7777 cells. Inhibition of MTP lipid transfer activity by 0.1 microm BMS-197636 and 5, 10, and 20 microm of BMS-200150 had no detectable effect on the synthesis, lipidation, and secretion of apoB:1000-containing particles. Under identical experimental conditions, the synthesis, lipidation, and secretion of endogenous apoB100-containing particles in HepG2 and parental untransfected McA-RH7777 cells were inhibited by 86-94%. BMS-200150 at 40 microm nearly abolished the secretion of endogenous apoB100-containing particles in HepG2 and parental McA-RH cells but caused only 15-20% inhibition in the secretion of apoB: 1000-containing particles. This modest decrease was attributable to the nonspecific effect of a high concentration of this compound on hepatic protein synthesis, as reflected in a similar (20-25%) reduction in albumin secretion. Suppression of MTP gene expression in stable transformants of McA-RH7777 cells by micro-interfering RNA led to 60-70% decrease in MTP mRNA and protein levels, but it had no detectable effect on the secretion of apoB:1000. Our results provide a compelling argument that the initial addition of phospholipids to apoB:1000 and initiation of apoB-containing lipoprotein assembly occur independently of MTP lipid transfer activity. 相似文献

Naringenin, the principal flavonoid in grapefruit, reduces plasma lipids in vivo and inhibits apoB secretion, cholesterol esterification, and MTP activity in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Although naringenin inhibits ACAT, we recently demonstrated that CE availability in the microsomal lumen does not regulate apoB secretion in HepG2 cells. We therefore hypothesized that inhibition of TG accumulation in the ER lumen, secondary to MTP inhibition, is the primary mechanism whereby naringenin blocks lipidation and subsequent secretion of apoB. Multicompartmental modeling of pulse-chase studies was used to compare cellular apoB kinetics in the presence of either naringenin or the specific MTP inhibitor, BMS-197636. At concentrations that reduced apoB secretion by 50%, both compounds selectively enhanced degradation via a kinetically defined, rapid, proteasomal pathway to the same extent. Subcellular fractionation experiments revealed that naringenin and BMS-197636 reduced accumulation of newly synthesized TG in the microsomal lumen by 48% and 54%, respectively. Newly synthesized CE accumulation in the lumen was reduced by 80% and 33% with naringenin and BMS-197636, respectively, demonstrating for the first time that MTP is involved in CE accumulation in the microsomal lumen. Reduced TG availability at this initial site of lipoprotein assembly was associated with significant reductions in the secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins. Both naringenin and BMS-197636 were most effective in reducing secretion of IDL and LDL, but also inhibited secretion of apoB-containing HDL-sized particles. Furthermore, in McA-RH7777-derived cell lines, naringenin reduced secretion of hapoB72 and hapoB100, which require significant assembly with lipid to be secreted, but did not reduce secretion of hapoB17, hapoB23, and hapoB48, which require only minimal lipidation. Taken together, our results indicate that naringenin inhibits the lipidation and subsequent secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins primarily by limiting the accumulation of TG in the ER lumen, secondary to MTP inhibition. 相似文献

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is essential for hepatic secretion of apoB-100 and apoB-48 but not triglyceride 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Despite a complete lack of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), L35 rat hepatoma cells secrete triglyceride-containing lipoproteins, albeit at a rate 25% of that of parental FAO hepatoma cells, which express high levels of MTP. The inability to express MTP was associated with a complete block in the secretion of both apolipoprotein (apo)B-100 and apoB-48. Stable expression of a MTP transgene restored the secretion of both apoB-100 and apoB-48 in L35 cells, indicating that MTP is essential for the secretion of both forms of apoB. Treatment with the MTP inhibitor BMS-200150 reduced the secretion of triglyceride by 70% in FAO cells, whereas the inhibitor did not affect the secretion of triglycerides by L35 cells. Thus, in the presence of the MTP inhibitor, both cell types secreted triglycerides at similar rates. Essentially, all of the triglycerides secreted by L35 cells were associated with HDL containing apoA-IV and apoE but devoid of apoB-100 or apoB-48. These results suggest that these triglyceride-containing lipoproteins are assembled and secreted via a pathway that is independent of both apoB and MTP. Our findings support the concept that apoB and MTP co-evolved and provided a means to augment the secretion of triglyceride through the formation of lipoproteins containing large hydrophobic cores enriched with triglycerides. 相似文献

The transport of apolipoprotein B (apoB) between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi was studied in puromycin-synchronized HepG2 cells, using an antibody that could distinguish between apoB in ER and Golgi compartments. In cells with normal ER-to-Golgi transport, both albumin and apoB colocalized throughout the ER and appeared as intense, compact signals in Golgi. When ER-to-Golgi transport was blocked with brefeldin A, apoB and albumin remained colocalized in the ER network and three-dimensional constructed images showed more intense signals for both proteins in a central, perinuclear region of the ER. When protein synthesis was stopped in cells with brefeldin A-inhibited ER-to-Golgi transport, apoB degradation was visualized as a homogeneous decrease in fluorescence signal intensity throughout the ER that could be slowed with clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone, a proteasome inhibitor. Incubation of cells with CP-10447, an inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, inhibited apoB, but not albumin, transport from ER to Golgi. Nanogold immunoelectron microscopy of digitonin-permeabilized cells showed proteasomes in close proximity to the cytosolic side of the ER membrane. Thus, newly synthesized apoB is localized throughout the entire ER and degraded homogeneously, most likely by neighboring proteasomes located on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane. Although albumin is colocalized with apoB in the ER, as expected, it was not targeted for ER-associated proteasomal degradation. 相似文献

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is required for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins. Previously, we demonstrated that the N-terminal 1,000 residues of apoB (apoB:1000) are necessary for the initiation of apoB-containing lipoprotein assembly in rat hepatoma McA-RH7777 cells and that these particles are phospholipid (PL) rich. To determine if the PL transfer activity of MTP is sufficient for the assembly and secretion of primordial apoB:1000-containing lipoproteins, we employed microRNA-based short hairpin RNAs (miR-shRNAs) to silence Mttp gene expression in parental and apoB:1000-expressing McA-RH7777 cells. This approach led to 98% reduction in MTP protein levels in both cell types. Metabolic labeling studies demonstrated a drastic 90–95% decrease in the secretion of rat endogenous apoB100-containing lipoproteins in MTP-deficient McA-RH7777 cells compared with cells transfected with negative control miR-shRNA. A similar reduction was observed in the secretion of rat endogenous apoB48 under the experimental conditions employed. In contrast, MTP absence had no significant effect on the synthesis, lipidation, and secretion of human apoB:1000-containing particles. These results provide strong evidence in support of the concept that in McA-RH7777 cells, acquisition of PL by apoB:1000 and initiation of apoB-containing lipoprotein assembly, a process distinct from the conventional first-step assembly of HDL-sized apoB-containing particles, do not require MTP. This study indicates that, in hepatocytes, a factor(s) other than MTP mediates the formation of the PL-rich primordial apoB:1000-containing initiation complex. 相似文献

The assembly of very low density lipoproteins in hepatocytes requires the microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein (MTP). This microsomal lumenal protein transfers lipids, particularly triacylglycerols (TG), between membranes in vitro and has been proposed to transfer TG to nascent apolipoprotein (apo) B in vivo. We examined the role of MTP in the assembly of apoB-containing lipoproteins in cultured murine primary hepatocytes using an inhibitor of MTP. The MTP inhibitor reduced TG secretion from hepatocytes by 85% and decreased the amount of apoB100 in the microsomal lumen, as well as that secreted into the medium, by 70 and 90%, respectively, whereas the secretion of apoB48 was only slightly decreased and the amount of lumenal apoB48 was unaffected. However, apoB48-containing particles formed in the presence of inhibitor were lipid-poor compared with those produced in the absence of inhibitor. We also isolated a pool of apoB-free TG from the microsomal lumen and showed that inhibition of MTP decreased the amount of TG in this pool by approximately 45%. The pool of TG associated with apoB was similarly reduced. However, inhibition of MTP did not directly block TG transfer from the apoB-independent TG pool to partially lipidated apoB in the microsomal lumen. We conclude that MTP is required for TG accumulation in the microsomal lumen and as a source of TG for assembly with apoB, but normal levels of MTP are not required for transferring the bulk of TG to apoB during VLDL assembly in murine hepatocytes. 相似文献
