Genetic variation in SULF2 is associated with postprandial clearance of triglyceride-rich remnant particles and triglyceride levels in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Nonfasting (postprandial) triglyceride concentrations have emerged as a clinically significant cardiovascular disease risk factor that results from accumulation of remnant triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) in the circulation. The remnant TRLs are cleared from the circulation by hepatic uptake, but the specific mechanisms involved are unclear. The syndecan-1 heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) pathway is important for the hepatic clearance of remnant TRLs in mice, but its relevance in humans is unclear.

Objective

We sought to determine whether polymorphisms of the genes responsible for HSPG assembly and disassembly contribute to atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias in humans.

Patients and design

We performed an oral fat load in 68 healthy subjects. Lipoproteins (chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins 1 and 2) were isolated from blood, and the area under curve and incremental area under curve for postprandial variables were calculated. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding syndecan-1 and enzymes involved in the synthesis or degradation of HSPG were genotyped in the study subjects.

Results

Our results indicate that the genetic variation rs2281279 in SULF2 associates with postprandial clearance of remnant TRLs and triglyceride levels in healthy subjects. Furthermore, the SNP rs2281279 in SULF2 associates with hepatic SULF2 mRNA levels.

Conclusions

In humans, mild but clinically relevant postprandial hyperlipidemia due to reduced hepatic clearance of remnant TRLs may result from genetic polymorphisms that affect hepatic HSPG.

Project description:ObjectiveInsulin resistance is associated with impaired receptor dependent hepatic uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL), promoting hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerosis. Next to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) and syndecan-1, the LDLR-related protein 1 (LRP1) stimulated by insulin action contributes to the rapid clearance of TRL in the postprandial state. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that the adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interacting domain-containing protein 1 (PID1) regulates LRP1 function, thereby controlling hepatic endocytosis of postprandial lipoproteins.MethodsLocalization and interaction of PID1 and LRP1 in cultured hepatocytes was studied by confocal microscopy of fluorescent tagged proteins, by indirect immunohistochemistry of endogenous proteins, by GST-based pull down and by immunoprecipitation experiments. The in vivo relevance of PID1 was assessed using whole body as well as liver-specific Pid1-deficient mice on a wild type or Ldlr-deficient (Ldlr-/-) background. Intravital microscopy was used to study LRP1 translocation in the liver. Lipoprotein metabolism was investigated by lipoprotein profiling, gene and protein expression as well as organ-specific uptake of radiolabelled TRL.ResultsPID1 co-localized in perinuclear endosomes and was found associated with LRP1 under fasting conditions. We identified the distal NPxY motif of the intracellular C-terminal domain (ICD) of LRP1 as the site critical for the interaction with PID1. Insulin-mediated NPxY-phosphorylation caused the dissociation of PID1 from the ICD, causing LRP1 translocation to the plasma membrane. PID1 deletion resulted in higher LRP1 abundance at the cell surface, higher LDLR protein levels and, paradoxically, reduced total LRP1. The latter can be explained by higher receptor shedding, which we observed in cultured Pid1-deficient hepatocytes. Consistently, PID1 deficiency alone led to increased LDLR-dependent endocytosis of postprandial lipoproteins and lower plasma triglycerides. In contrast, hepatic PID1 deletion on an Ldlr-/- background reduced lipoprotein uptake into liver and caused plasma TRL accumulation.ConclusionsBy acting as an insulin-dependent retention adaptor, PID1 serves as a regulator of LRP1 function controlling the disposal of postprandial lipoproteins. PID1 inhibition provides a novel approach to lower plasma levels of pro-atherogenic TRL remnants by stimulating endocytic function of both LRP1 and LDLR in the liver.

Project description:BackgroundAccording to the 2021 consensus statement about triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and their remnants from the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS), fasting TG level < 1.2 mmol/L is regarded as optimal, otherwise considered as non-optimal TG (NoTG). However, the postprandial cut-off value after a daily meal corresponding to a fasting TG level of 1.2 mmol/L has not been explored.Materials and methodsSix hundred and eighteen inpatients aged 18 to 70 were recruited in this study. Among them, 219 subjects had fasting TG levels < 1.2 mmol/L (i.e., OTG group), and 399 subjects had fasting TG levels ≥ 1.2 mmol/L (i.e., NoTG group). Serum levels of blood lipids, including calculated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and remnant cholesterol (RC), were monitored at 0, 2, and 4 h after a daily Chinese breakfast according to their dietary habits. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the postprandial cut-off value corresponding to the fasting TG level of 1.2 mmol/L. Kappa statistics were performed to determine the consistency between fasting and postprandial cut-off values in determining whether TG was optimal. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations between NoTG and potential confounders. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore the association between postprandial TG levels at 4h (pTG4h) and NoTG in greater detail.ResultsPostprandial levels of TG and RC significantly elevated and peaked at 4h after a daily breakfast in two groups (P < 0.05). The optimal cut-off value at 4h corresponding to fasting TG of 1.2 mmol/L was 1.56 mmol/L. According to the fasting cut-off value, the percentage of patients with NoTG was 64.6% in the fasting state while increasing obviously to 73.3-78.4% at 2 and 4h, respectively, after a daily Chinese breakfast. According to the postprandial cut-off value, the percentage of patients with NoTG at 4h after a daily Chinese breakfast was 62.6% which was close to 64.6% in the fasting state. The Kappa coefficient was 0.551, indicating a moderate consistency between the fasting and postprandial cut-off values in the diagnosis of NoTG. Moreover, the subjects with NoTG determined by the postprandial TG cut-off value had an obviously higher postprandial level of RC (1.2 vs. 0.8 mmol/L) and percentage of HRC (37.1 vs. 32.1%) than those determined by the fasting TG cut-off value. Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that except for BMI, pTG4h emerged as an independent predictor of not. Subgroup analyses revealed that the association between pTG4h and NoTG was consistent across subgroups.ConclusionTaken together, we for the first time determined TG 1.56 mmol/L as the postprandial cut-off value corresponding to fasting TG 1.2 mmol/L in Chinese subjects. This could make it more convenient to determine whether TG is optimal or not in the fasting or postprandial state.
