Hydrolysis by endothelial lipases of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins of diabetic origin were compared to lipoproteins of non-diabetic origin. The plasma lipoprotein fraction of density < 1.006 g/ml, including chylomicrons and VLDL, were incubated in vitro with post-heparin plasma (PHP) lipases. The lipoproteins of diabetic origin were hydrolysed at a significantly slower rate than lipoproteins from normal rats by the lipoprotein lipase component of PHP. However, if rats were fasted for 16 h prior to lipoprotein recovery, no differences in rates of VLDL hydrolysis were observed. Slower hydrolysis of lipoproteins of diabetic origin reflected a decrease in the apolipoprotein CII/CIII ratio and other changes in the apolipoprotein profile. To assess whether diabetic rats were less able to clear triacylglycerol independent of changes in the nature of the lipoproteins, we monitored the clearance of chylomicron-like lipid emulsions in hepatectomized rats. In vivo, emulsion triacylglycerol hydrolysis was not slowed due to diabetes. However, control and diabetic rats, which had been fasted for 16 h, cleared triacylglycerol at about twice the rate of fed rats. Triacylglycerol secretion rates in diabetic and control rats were similar, whether fed or fasted. We conclude that in streptozocin diabetic rats, hypertriglyceridemia was not due to overproduction of chylomicron- or VLDL-triacylglycerol, nor to decreased endothelial lipase activities. Rather, in fed diabetic rats, the triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins are poorer substrates for lipoprotein lipase. This may lead to slower formation of remnants which would exacerbate slow remnant removal. VLDL of diabetic origin were hydrolysed as efficiently as VLDL from control donors, suggesting that in the fed state the lipolytic defect may be specific for chylomicrons. 相似文献

Two lines of transgenic mice, hAIItg-delta and hAIItg-lambda, expressing human apolipoprotein (apo)A-II at 2 and 4 times the normal concentration, respectively, displayed on standard chow postprandial chylomicronemia, large quantities of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) but greatly reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL). Hypertriglyceridemia may result from increased VLDL production, decreased VLDL catabolism, or both. Post-Triton VLDL production was comparable in transgenic and control mice. Postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase activities decreased at most by 30% in transgenic mice, whereas adipose tissue and muscle LPL activities were unaffected, indicating normal LPL synthesis. However, VLDL-triglyceride hydrolysis by exogenous LPL was considerably slower in transgenic compared with control mice, with the apparent Vmax of the reaction decreasing proportionately to human apoA-II expression. Human apoA-II was present in appreciable amounts in the VLDL of transgenic mice, which also carried apoC-II. The addition of purified apoA-II in postheparin plasma from control mice induced a dose-dependent decrease in LPL and hepatic lipase activities. In conclusion, overexpression of human apoA-II in transgenic mice induced the proatherogenic lipoprotein profile of low plasma HDL and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia because of decreased VLDL catabolism by LPL. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the alterations of plasma lipoproteins found in nephrotic syndrome induced by puromycin aminonucleoside were due to nephrotic syndrome per se, or, at least in part, to the aminonucleoside. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the changes in plasma and urinary lipoproteins during the administration of puromycin aminonucleoside (20 mg/kg for 7 days) and the subsequent development of nephrotic syndrome. Since massive albuminuria occurred after 6 days of treatment, the time-course study was divided into two stages: pre-nephrotic stage (day 1–5) and nephrotic stage (day 6–11). In pre-nephrotic stage the plasma level of fatty acids, triacylglycerol and VLDL decreased while that of phospholipid, cholesteryl esters and HDL remained constant. Plasma apolipoprotein A-I tended to increase (40% increase at day 5). At the beginning of nephrotic stage (day 6) the concentration of plasma albumin dropped to a very low level, while that of apolipoprotein A-I increased abruptly (4-fold increase) and continued to rise, although less steeply, in the following days. The plasma concentration of HDL followed the same pattern. Plasma VLDL and LDL increased at a later stage (day 9). Plasma apolipoprotein A-I was found not only in HDL (1.063–1.210 g/ml) but also in the LDL density class (1.025–1.050 g/ml). In the pre-nephrotic stage lipoproteinuria was negligible, while in the early nephrotic stage the urinary loss of plasma lipoproteins consisted mainly of HDL. These observations indicate that puromycin aminonucleoside alters plasma lipoproteins by lowering VLDL and increasing HDL. It is likely that the early and striking increase of plasma HDL found in nephrotic rats is related to a direct effect of the drug on HDL metabolism. 相似文献

Lipoprotein composition as a component in the lipoprotein clearance defect in experimental diabetes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The hypertriglyceridemia associated with streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats is largely reflected in the plasma lipoproteins of density less than 1.006 g/ml. Analysis of the plasma apolipoproteins of these rats indicated marked alterations in both the total levels and in the lipoprotein distribution of the major apolipoproteins. In whole plasma, diabetes was associated with significant increases in apolipoprotein (apo)-AIV, apo-AI, and apo-B (mainly in the intestinally derived apo-B240) and a marked decrease in apo-E. In the d less than 1.006 g/ml lipoprotein fraction (very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL], there were significant increases in apo-B240, apo-AI, and apo-AIV and decreased levels of apo-E and the C apolipoproteins. The decrease in apo-C was primarily due to lower levels of apo-CII, and the ratio of the lipoprotein lipase inhibitor, apo-CIII, to the lipoprotein lipase activator, apo CII, was significantly increased over that in controls. The comparative clearance of triglycerides of VLDL particles from control and diabetic rat plasma was tested in recirculating heart perfusion in vitro. During 45-min perfusions of hearts from control donor rats, lipolysis of triglycerides of VLDL from diabetic rats was only 63-64% of that using plasma VLDL from control rats. Perfusion of hearts from diabetic rats with VLDL from control rats gave lipolysis values of only 53% of that obtained with normal hearts. Where both the VLDL and hearts were obtained from diabetic rats, lipolysis was 23% of that observed when both the lipoprotein and the organ were from control rats. The data suggest that in addition to depressed lipoprotein lipase activity in the tissue from diabetic rats, there are also major compositional changes in circulating lipoproteins which may contribute to defective triglyceride clearance from the circulation. 相似文献

Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia and low plasma HDL levels, which are principal features of the metabolic syndrome, are displayed by transgenic mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-II (hapoA-II). In these mice, hypertriglyceridemia results from the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities by hapoA-II carried on VLDL. This study aimed to determine whether the association of hapoA-II with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) is sufficient to impair their catabolism. To measure plasma TRL residence time, intestinal TRL production was induced by a radioactive oral lipid bolus. Radioactive and total triglyceride (TG) were rapidly cleared in control mice but accumulated in plasma of transgenic mice, in relation to hapoA-II concentration. Similar plasma TG accumulations were measured in transgenic mice with or without endogenous apoA-II expression. HapoA-II (synthesized in liver) was detected in chylomicrons (produced by intestine). The association of hapoA-II with TRL in plasma was further confirmed by the absence of hapoA-II in chylomicrons and VLDL of transgenic mice injected with Triton WR 1339, which prevents apolipoprotein exchanges. We show that the association of hapoA-II with TRL occurs in the circulation and induces postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. 相似文献

A decreased expression of angiopoietin-like 3 is protective against atherosclerosis in apoE-deficient mice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

KK/Snk mice (previously KK/San) possessing a recessive mutation (hypl) of the angiopoietin-like 3 (Angptl3) gene homozygously exhibit a marked reduction of VLDL due to the decreased Angptl3 expression. Recently, we proposed that Angptl3 is a new class of lipid metabolism modulator regulating VLDL triglyceride (TG) levels through the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. In this study, to elucidate the role of Angptl3 in atherogenesis, we investigated the effects of hypl mutation against hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoEKO) mice. ApoEKO mice with hypl mutation (apoEKO-hypl) exhibited a significant reduction of VLDL TG, VLDL cholesterol, and plasma apoB levels compared with apoEKO mice. Hepatic VLDL TG secretion was comparable between both apoE-deficient mice. Turnover studies revealed that the clearance of both [3H]TG-labeled and 125I-labeled VLDL was significantly enhanced in apoEKO-hypl mice. Postprandial plasma TG levels also decreased in apoEKO-hypl mice. Both LPL and hepatic lipase activities in the postheparin plasma increased significantly in apoEKO-hypl mice, explaining the enhanced lipid metabolism. Furthermore, apoEKO-hypl mice developed 3-fold smaller atherogenic lesions in the aortic sinus compared with apoEKO mice. Taken together, the reduction of Angptl3 expression is protective against hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, even in the absence of apoE, owing to the enhanced catabolism and clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins. 相似文献

Low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-deficient mice fed a chow diet have a mild hypercholesterolemia caused by the abnormal accumulation in the plasma of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-100- and apoB-48-carrying intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL). Treatment of LDLR-deficient mice with ciprofibrate caused a marked decrease in plasma apoB-48-carrying IDL and LDL but at the same time caused a large accumulation of triglyceride-depleted apoB-100-carrying IDL and LDL, resulting in a significant increase in plasma cholesterol levels. These plasma lipoprotein changes were associated with an increase in the hepatic secretion of apoB-100-carrying very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and a decrease in the secretion of apoB-48-carrying VLDL, accompanied by a significant decrease in hepatic apoB mRNA editing. Hepatic apobec-1 complementation factor mRNA and protein abundance were significantly decreased, whereas apobec-1 mRNA and protein abundance remained unchanged. No changes in apoB mRNA editing occurred in the intestine of the treated animals. After 150 days of treatment with ciprofibrate, consistent with the increased plasma accumulation of apoB-100-carrying IDL and LDL, the LDLR-deficient mice displayed severe atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta. These findings demonstrate that ciprofibrate treatment decreases hepatic apoB mRNA editing and alters the pattern of hepatic lipoprotein secretion toward apoB-100-associated VLDL, changes that in turn lead to increased atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common inherited hyperlipidemia and a major risk factor for atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. The cause(s) leading to FCHL are largely unknown, but the existence of unidentified "major" genes that would increase VLDL production and of "modifier" genes that would influence the phenotype of the disease has been proposed. Expression of apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II), a high density lipoprotein (HDL) of unknown function, in transgenic mice produced increased concentration of apoB-containing lipoproteins and decreased HDL. Here we show that expression of human apoA-II in apoE-deficient mice induces a dose-dependent increase in VLDL, resulting in plasma triglyceride elevations of up to 24-fold in a mouse line that has 2-fold the concentration of human apoA-II of normolipidemic humans, as well as other well-known characteristics of FCHL: increased concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride, and apoB in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), reduced HDL cholesterol, normal lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities, increased production of VLDL triglycerides, and increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis. However, FCHL patients do not have plasma concentrations of human apoA-II as high as those of apoE-deficient mice overexpressing human apoA-II, and the apoA-II gene has not been linked to FCHL in genome-wide scans. Therefore, the apoA-II gene could be a "modifier" FCHL gene influencing the phenotype of the disease in some individuals through unkown mechanisms including an action on a "major" FCHL gene. We conclude that apoE-deficient mice overexpressing human apoA-II constitute useful animal models with which to study the mechanisms leading to overproduction of VLDL, and that apoA-II may function to regulate VLDL production. 相似文献

Mice bearing the Ehrlich ascites tumor were fed diets rich in either coconut oil or sunflower oil. From 20 to 40% less lipid was present in the ascites tumor fluid when the mice were fed the sunflower oil diet. This was associated with a reduction in the amount of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL), the main lipoprotein fractions present in the ascites tumor fluid. The VLDL from the mice fed sunflower oil contained more cholesteryl esters and a lower free to esterified cholesterol ratio than those from the mice fed coconut oil. Very little change occurred in the composition of the HDL. All of the lipids contained in both lipoprotein fractions exhibited appreciable differences in fatty acid composition. Much more monoenoic and less polyenoic fatty acid were present in the lipids from the mice fed the coconut oil diet, but no appreciable change in saturated fatty acid content occurred. Similar changes in fatty acid composition were observed in the blood plasma of the tumor-bearing mice. There was no qualitative difference in the apolipoprotein patterns of either the ascites fluid VLDL or HDL. Pyrene fluorescence studies indicated that the fluidity of the VLDL was increased when the mice were fed the sunflower oil diets. No difference in HDL fluidity, however, was observed by this technique. These results indicate that the amount, composition, and physical properties of certain of the lipoproteins contained in the ascites tumor fluid can be modified by changing the composition of the dietary fat fed to mice bearing the Ehrlich ascites tumor. 相似文献

Mechanisms responsible for hypertriglyceridemia in Tangier disease were elucidated by an analysis of the plasma post-heparin lipolytic activities and the structural and metabolic properties of very low (VLDL) and low (LDL) density lipoproteins. The levels of lipoprotein lipase activity in six Tangier patients were significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than in 40 control subjects (8.1 +/- 3.3 (+/- S.D.) vs. 14.1 +/- 3.7 units/ml). In contrast, the levels of hepatic triacylglycerol lipase were higher (P less than 0.01) than in normal controls (14.4 +/- 3.9 vs. 9.3 +/- 4.0 units/ml). Because kinetic parameters such as Km or Vmax cannot be obtained with naturally occurring triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, the pseudo-first-order rate constant (k1) of triacylglycerol hydrolysis was used to assess the effectiveness of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins as substrates for lipoprotein lipase. The k1 values for Tangier VLDL (k1 = 0.017 +/- 0.002 min-1) were significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than the k1 values (0.036 +/- 0.008 min-1) for control VLDL. Both the Tangier and control LDL2 are similar in their resistance to the action of lipoprotein lipase, as shown by their low k1 values (0.002 +/- 0.001 and 0.001 +/- 0.001 min-1, respectively). The major compositional difference between the lipoproteins of Tangier disease and normal subjects was a significant increase in the percent content of apolipoprotein A-II in all lipoprotein particles with d less than 1.063 g/ml, with the greatest increase occurring in VLDL and the lowest in LDL2. These results were interpreted as indicating that, in Tangier disease, there is a lower reactivity of VLDL with lipoprotein lipase which may in part be attributed to the abnormal apolipoprotein composition. This finding, in conjunction with the reduced levels of lipoprotein lipase activity, may explain the hypertriglyceridemia in Tangier disease. 相似文献

Mice (SC), fed a semipurified diet containing cholesterol, cholic acid and sucrose, exhibited, in comparison to control animals (S), an increase in cholesterol, phospholipid and protein of VLDL, LDL1 and LDL2, but triglyceride of the same lipoproteins decreased, as did total plasma triglycerides. Postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity of SC animals was 1.72 times that of S mice. At the same time Intralipid half-life in SC mice was decreased by 52%. Triglyceride secretion rate, after Triton WR 1339 treatment, and liver triglyceride content were reduced in SC animals. HDL mass was decreased in SC mice. Mice (AC) fed a standard diet containing cholesterol showed, in comparison to normal fed animals (A), an increase in cholesterol of VLDL, LDL1 and LDL2 but triglyceride of the same lipoproteins decreased as did total plasma triglycerides. Postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity of AC animals was unmodified as was Intralipid half-life. In AC animals triglyceride secretion rate, after Triton WR 1339 treatment, was reduced but in a less extent than in SC mice. Liver triglyceride was unmodified. HDL mass was decreased in AC mice. 相似文献

Role of lipid transfers in the formation of a subpopulation of small high density lipoproteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of lipid transfers on the structure and composition of high density lipoproteins (HDL) has been studied in vitro in incubations that contained the lipoprotein-free fraction of human plasma as a source of lipid transfer protein. These incubations did not contain lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity and were not supplemented with lipoprotein lipase. Incubations were performed at 37 degrees C for 6 hr in both the presence and absence of either added very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) or the artificial triglyceride emulsion, Intralipid. Incubation in the absence of added VLDL or Intralipid had little or no effect on the HDL. By contrast, incubation in the presence of either VLDL or Intralipid resulted in marked changes in the HDL. The effect of incubation with VLDL was qualitatively similar to that of Intralipid; both resulted in obvious transfers of lipid and changes in the density, particle size, and composition of HDL. Incubation of the plasma fraction of density 1.006-1.21 g/ml, total HDL, or HDL3 with either VLDL or Intralipid resulted in the following: 1) a depletion of the cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol content and an increase in the triglyceride content of both HDL2 and HDL3; 2) a decrease in density and an increase in particle size of the HDL3 to form a population of HDL2-like particles; and 3) the formation of a discrete population of very small lipoproteins with a density greater than that of the parent HDL3. The newly formed lipoproteins had a mean particle radius of 3.7-3.8 nm and consisted mainly of protein, predominantly apolipoprotein A-I and phospholipid. 相似文献

Chronic alcohol intake is associated with an increase in fasting plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL). To study alcohol's acute effects on plasma lipoproteins, we measured plasma lipoprotein concentrations and activities of postheparin plasma lipases in nine normolipemic males after ingestion of 40 g of ethanol (as whiskey). After alcohol there was no change in lipoprotein lipase activity but hepatic lipase was decreased to 67% of baseline at 6 hr. There were associated increases in HDL phospholipids (12 mg/dl) and cholesterol (10 mg/dl) resulting in prominence of larger, lipid-enriched HDL particles. Changes were most pronounced in the HDL3 and HDL2a subclasses. Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) phospholipids and cholesterol were also increased by 13 and 9 mg/dl, respectively, with no significant change in triglycerides. Changes in lipoproteins and lipase were largely reversed 10 hr after alcohol intake. The transient increases in VLDL and HDL lipids after alcohol may result in part from acute inhibition of hepatic lipase activity. The results suggest a role of hepatic lipase in the catabolism of phospholipids of VLDL and possibly HDL. 相似文献

Hepatic apolipoprotein E expression promotes very low density lipoprotein-apolipoprotein B production in vivo in mice 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In addition to its role in the uptake of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins, apoE promotes hepatic very low density lipoprotein-triglyceride (VLDL-TG) production in animal models. However, it is not known if apoE increases the amount of TG per VLDL particle or the number of VLDL particles secreted. VLDL-apoB production is a measure of the rate of VLDL particle secretion. We determined the effects of apoE deficiency and apoE overexpression on VLDL-apoB production in mice. [(35)S]methionine was injected into endogenously label VLDL-apoB and Triton WR-1339 was simultaneously injected to block the catabolism of VLDL. Compared with wild-type mice, the VLDL-apoB production rate was decreased by 33% in apoE-deficient mice. Conversely, VLDL-apoB production was increased by 48% in mice overexpressing apoE compared with controls. Nascent VLDL, obtained from post-Triton plasma, had a decreased, not increased, content of TG per apoB in the apoE-overexpressing group compared with the control group. This study demonstrates that hepatic apoE expression increases the output of VLDL triglyceride by increasing the production rate of VLDL-apoB, suggesting that hepatic apoE influences the number of VLDL particles secreted by the liver. 相似文献

Although the direct conversion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) into low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins only requires lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as a catalyst and albumin as the fatty acid acceptor, the in vitro-formed LDL and HDL differ chemically from their native counterparts. To investigate the reason(s) for these differences, VLDL were treated with human milk LPL in the presence of albumin, and the LPL-generated LDL1-, LDL2-, and HDL-like particles were characterized by lipid and apolipoprotein composition. Results showed that the removal of apolipoproteins B, C, and E from VLDL was proportional to the degree of triglyceride hydrolysis with LDL2 particles as the major and LDL1 and HDL + VHDL particles as the minor products of a complete in vitro lipolysis of VLDL. In comparison with native counterparts, the in vitro-formed LDL2 and HDL + VHDL were characterized by lower levels of triglyceride and cholesterol ester and higher levels of free cholesterol and lipid phosphorus. The characterization of lipoprotein particles present in the in vitro-produced LDL2 showed that, as in plasma LDL2, lipoprotein B (LP-B) was the major apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein accounting for over 90% of the total apolipoprotein B. Other, minor species of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins included LP-B:C-I:E and LP-B:C-I:C-II:C-III. The lipid composition of in vitro-formed LP-B closely resembled that of plasma LP-B. The major parts of apolipoproteins C and E present in VLDL were released to HDL + VHDL as simple, cholesterol/phospholipid-rich lipoproteins including LP-C-I, LP-C-II, LP-C-III, and LP-E. However, some of these same simple lipoprotein particles were present after ultracentrifugation in the LDL2 density segment because of their hydrated density and/or because they formed, in the absence of naturally occurring acceptors (LP-A-I:A-II), weak associations with LP-B. Thus, the presence of varying amounts of these cholesterol/phospholipid-rich lipoproteins in the in vitro-formed LDL2 appears to be the main reason for their compositional difference from native LDL2. These results demonstrate that the formation of LP-B as the major apolipoprotein B-containing product of VLDL lipolysis only requires LPL as a catalyst and albumin as the fatty acid acceptor. However, under physiological circumstances, other modulating agents are necessary to prevent the accumulation and interaction of phospholipid/cholesterol-rich apolipoprotein C- and E-containing particles. 相似文献

In vivo evidence of a role for hepatic lipase in human apoB-containing lipoprotein metabolism, independent of its lipolytic activity 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Hepatic lipase (HL) is a key player in lipoprotein metabolism by modulating, through its lipolytic activity, the triglyceride (TG) and phospholipid content of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins and of high density lipoproteins (HDL), thereby affecting their size and density. A new and separate role has been suggested for HL in cellular lipoprotein metabolism, in which it serves as a ligand promoting cellular uptake of apoB-containing remnant lipoproteins and HDL. We tested the hypothesis that HL has both a lipolytic and a nonlipolytic role in human lipoprotein metabolism, by measuring lipid plasma concentrations, lipoprotein density distribution by density gradient ultracentrifugation, and lipoprotein composition, in three subjects with HL deficiency: two of the patients (S-1 and S-3) were characterized as having neither plasma HL activity nor detectable HL protein; the third subject (S-2) had no plasma HL activity but a detectable amount (35.5 ng/ml) of HL protein. All HL-deficient subjects showed a severalfold increase in lipoprotein TG content across the lipoprotein density spectrum [very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and HDL] as compared with control subjects. They also had remarkably more buoyant LDL particles (LDL-R(f) = 0.342;-0.394) as compared with the control subjects (LDL-R(f) = 0.303). Subjects S-1 and S-3 (no HL activity or protein) presented with a distinct increase in cholesterol and apoB levels in the IDL and VLDL density range as compared with patient S-2, with detectable HL protein, and the control subjects.This study provides evidence in humans that HL indeed plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism independent of its enzymatic activity: in particular, inactive HL protein appears to affect VLDL and IDL particle concentration, whereas HL enzymatic activity seems to influence VLDL-, IDL-, LDL-, and HDL-TG content and their physical properties. 相似文献

Intracellular apoA-I and apoB distribution in rat intestine is altered by lipid feeding 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Intracellular forms of chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) have previously been isolated from the rat intestine. These intracellular particles are likely to be nascent precursors of secreted lipoproteins. To study the distribution of intracellular apolipoprotein among nascent lipoproteins, a method to isolate intracellular lipoproteins was developed and validated. The method consists of suspending isolated enterocytes in hypotonic buffer containing a lipase inhibitor, rupturing cell membranes by nitrogen cavitation, and isolating lipoproteins by sequential ultracentrifugation. ApoB and apoA-I mass are determined by radioimmunoassay and newly synthesized apolipoprotein characterized following [3H]leucine intraduodenal infusion. Intracellular chylomicron, VLDL, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and HDL fractions were isolated and found to contain apoB, and apoA-IV, and apoA-I. In the fasted animal, less than 10% of total intracellular apoB and apoA-I was bound to lipoproteins and 7% of apoB and 35% of apoA-I was contained in the d 1.21 g/ml infranatant. The remainder of intracellular apolipoprotein was in the pellets of centrifugation. Lipid feeding doubled the percentage of intracellular apoA-I bound to lipoproteins and increased the percentage of intracellular apoB bound to lipoproteins by 65%. Following lipid feeding, the most significant increase was in the chylomicron apoB and HDL apoA-I fractions. These data suggest that in the fasting state, 90% of intracellular apoB and apoA-I is not bound to lipoproteins. Lipid feeding shifts intracellular apolipoprotein onto lipoproteins, but most intracellular apolipoprotein remains non-lipoprotein bound. The constant presence of a large non-lipoprotein-bound pool suggests that apolipoprotein synthesis is not the rate limiting step in lipoprotein assembly or secretion. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein AII (apoAII) transgenic (apoAIItg) mice exhibit several traits associated with the insulin resistance (IR) syndrome, including IR, obesity, and a marked hypertriglyceridemia. Because treatment of the apoAIItg mice with rosiglitazone ameliorated the IR and hypertriglyceridemia, we hypothesized that the hypertriglyceridemia was due largely to overproduction of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) by the liver, a normal response to chronically elevated insulin and glucose. We now report in vivo and in vitro studies that indicate that hepatic fatty acid oxidation was reduced and lipogenesis increased, resulting in a 25% increase in triglyceride secretion in the apoAIItg mice. In addition, we observed that hydrolysis of triglycerides from both chylomicrons and VLDL was significantly reduced in the apoAIItg mice, further contributing to the hypertriglyceridemia. This is a direct, acute effect, because when mouse apoAII was injected into mice, plasma triglyceride concentrations were significantly increased within 4 h. VLDL from both control and apoAIItg mice contained significant amounts of apoAII, with approximately 4 times more apoAII on apoAIItg VLDL. ApoAII was shown to transfer spontaneously from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to VLDL in vitro, resulting in VLDL that was a poorer substrate for hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase. These results indicate that one function of apoAII is to regulate the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, with HDL serving as a plasma reservoir of apoAII that is transferred to the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in much the same way as VLDL and chylomicrons acquire most of their apoCs from HDL. 相似文献

Oral administration of cholestyramine to adult male hamsters not only induced a marked decrease in plasma concentrations of cholesterol and LDL but had a similar lowering effect on plasma triacyglycerol and VLDL concentrations. The hypotriglyceridaemic effects of resin administration were not due to an increase in lipoprotein lipase, as post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activities were unchanged, but rather to a 35% decrease in VLDL synthesis. Measurement of the disappearance rate of apolipoprotein B from VLDL after i.v. injection of 125I-labelled hamster or human VLDL into control and cholestyramine-fed recipient animals showed a 2-times lower T1/2 in the drug-treated animals. The fraction of VLDL apolipoprotein B, recovered at any time after injection in the LDL, was equal or higher in cholestyramine-fed animals as compared to controls. These data indicate that the lowering in plasma LDL by cholestyramine in male hamsters is due not only to LDL receptor up-regulation but also to a lower rate of VLDL synthesis. No indications were found for a decreased efficiency of VLDL to LDL conversion in cholestyramine-fed animals. 相似文献
