Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has been proposed to play a role in the uptake of chylomicron remnants by hepatocytes by mediating the binding of these lipoproteins to cell-surface glycosaminoglycans and to the low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). This proposal is based on studies that examined the binding of chylomicrons to HepG2 cells, fibroblasts and Chinese hamster ovary cells in culture, in the presence of large amounts of LPL [Beisiegel (1995) Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 6, 117-122]. We have investigated whether LPL attached to the surface of chylomicrons enhances the binding and uptake of these lipoproteins to isolated hepatocytes maintained in culture. Bovine milk LPL was bound to mouse chylomicrons, double-labelled in vivo with [3H]retinol (in retinyl esters) and with [14C]palmitic acid (in triacylglycerols), collected from the mesenteric lymph of normal mice and from mice lacking the apoprotein E (apo E) gene. Normal chylomicrons (containing apo E) and apo E-free chylomicrons, with or without bound LPL, were incubated with cultured hepatocytes isolated from mice lacking the apo E gene. At 0 degree C LPL did not enhance the binding of the normal or apo E-free chylomicrons by the hepatocytes. When incubations were performed at 37 degrees C the triacylglycerols of normal and apo E-free chylomicrons were hydrolysed by LPL and there was a significant uptake of [14C]fatty acids and [3H]retinol by the hepatocytes. The addition of heparin or lactoferrin, a known inhibitor of hepatic uptake of chylomicron remnants, to the incubation medium inhibited the uptake of [3H]retinol, present in the lipoprotein core, but not the uptake of the [14C]fatty acids. We conclude that: (1) LPL attached to chylomicrons in amounts sufficient to effectively hydrolyse their core triacylglycerols does not enhance the binding of these lipoproteins to the surface of isolated hepatocytes; (2) the recognition and uptake of chylomicrons by hepatocytes requires that these lipoproteins be first hydrolysed by LPL; and (3) the uptake of lipolysed chylomicrons (remnants) by hepatocytes does not require the mediation of apo E.

Project description:1. Rat lymph chylomicrons were depleted of their surface phospholipids by treatment with pure phospholipase A2 from Crotalus adamanteus venom. 2. About 80% of the phospholipids could be removed from the chylomicrons without any apparent effect on their size, neutral lipid composition or qualitative profile of their tetramethylurea-soluble apoproteins. 3. Phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons were rapidly taken up whole by liver cells when perfused through isolated rat liver preparations. The rate of uptake was dependent on the extent of phospholipid depletion and reached a maximum (4-6.5-fold greater than control chylomicrons) when 80% of the phospholipids had been removed. 4. It is speculated that the hepatic uptake of phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons occurs by a mechanism to that of chylomicron-remnants uptake.

Project description:Background and objectivesIn dialysis patients, the associations between apoprotein profile and all-cause or cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality are not well known. We, therefore, investigated whether apoprotein levels are associated with these events.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe undertook a prospective observational cohort study of prevalent hemodialysis patients aged ?18 years (n=1081), who were followed for 4 years (2011-2014). Outcomes were all-cause and CVD-related mortality. Predictors used were baseline apoprotein levels, particularly the apoprotein B (apo B)/ apoprotein A-1 (apo A-1) ratio. A Cox regression analysis was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality. Apo A-1, apo B, and apo B/ apo A-1 ratio were analyzed with adjustments in three models: model 1, basic adjustment for age and sex; model 2, basic adjustments plus dialysis conditions (dialysis vintage, mean predialysis systolic blood pressure, dry weight, and mean intradialytic weight gain); and model 3, model 2 plus metabolic and inflammatory conditions (basal kidney disease, serum albumin, C-reactive protein level, and statin use).ResultsOf the 1081 patients included in the study, 203 deaths were recorded, 92 of which were related to CVD. The apo B/ apo A-1 ratio was significantly associated with all-cause and CVD-related mortality when analyzed by 1-SD increments or quartile IV versus I in all models. In model 3, HRs and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for 1-SD increments of apo B/ apo A-1 ratio for all-cause mortality or CVD-related mortality were: HR, 1.16 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.35), or HR, 1.38 (95% CI, 1.11 to 1.71), respectively, and for quartile IV versus I: HR, 1.65 (95% CI, 1.05 to 2.57), or HR, 2.56 (95% CI, 1.21 to 5.40), respectively. Apo A-1 was significantly associated with both mortalities in models 1 and 2. However, apo B was only significantly associated with CVD-related mortality in model 3.ConclusionsApoprotein measurement, especially the apo B/ apo A-1 ratio, was significantly associated with all-cause and CVD-related mortality in prevalent dialysis patients.

Project description:1. Rats pretreated with Triton WR-1339 to prevent the formation of remnants were injected with [3H]cholesterol-labelled remnants, intact chylomicrons or chylomicrons depleted of most of their surface phospholipids by treatment with phospholipase A2. Within 5 min about 80% of the injected label of remnants and phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons was incorporated into the livers compared with less than 10% of the injected radioactivity of intact chylomicrons. A similar rapid hepatic uptake of radioactivity occurred when rats not pretreated with Triton were injected with [3H]cholesterol-labelled phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons. This rapid hepatic uptake of phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons occurred apparently without any alteration in the apoprotein composition of the particles. 2. The participation of hepatocytes in the uptake of remnants and phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons was examined. Both types of particles were taken up by the hepatocytes. However, small chylomicrons (Sf less than 400) were taken up more efficiently than were large chylomicrons (Sf greater than 400), but neither was taken up as efficiently as the remnants. 3. The results of this study lend support to the hypothesis that phospholipid-depleted chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants are taken up by the liver by a similar mechanism, which depends on the loss of surface phospholipids.

Project description:Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1), a protein in the lymphocyte antigen 6 (Ly-6) family, plays a key role in the lipolytic processing of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. GPIHBP1 binds lipoprotein lipase and chylomicrons and is expressed along the luminal surface of microvascular endothelial cells. Lipolysis is known to be regulated by metabolic factors and is controlled at multiple levels, including the number of LPL binding sites on capillaries. Here, we tested the possibility that GPIHBP1 expression could be regulated by dietary perturbations and by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Gpihbp1 transcript levels in the heart and in brown and white adipose tissue increased with fasting and returned toward baseline after refeeding. A PPARgamma agonist increased Gpihbp1 expression in adipose tissue, heart, and skeletal muscle, whereas PPARalpha and PPARdelta agonists had no effect. Gpihbp1 was expressed in endothelial cells of embryoid bodies generated from mouse embryonic stem cells, and Gpihbp1 expression in embryoid bodies was up-regulated by a PPARgamma agonist. Sequences upstream from exon 1 of Gpihbp1 contain a strong PPAR binding site, and that site exhibited activity in a luciferase reporter assay. Gpihbp1 transcript levels in brown and white adipose tissue were lower in endothelial cell PPARgamma knockout mice than in littermate control mice, suggesting that PPARgamma regulates Gpihbp1 expression in vivo. We conclude that GPIHBP1 is regulated by dietary factors and by PPARgamma.

Project description:The structure-activity relationships of organophosphorus (OP) and organosulfur compounds were examined in vitro and in vivo as inhibitors of mouse brain monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and agonist binding at the CB1 receptor. Several compounds showed exceptional potency toward MAGL activity with IC(50) values of 0.1-10 nM in vitro and high inhibition at 10mg/kg intraperitoneally in mice. We find for the first time that MAGL activity is a major in vivo determinant of 2-AG and arachidonic acid levels not only in brain but also in spleen, lung, and liver. Apparent direct OP inhibition of CB1 agonist binding may be due instead to metabolic stabilization of 2-AG in brain membranes as the actual inhibitor.

Project description:Lipopeptides have been reported to exhibit anti-obesity effects. In this study, we obtained a Bacillus velezensis strain FJAT-52631 that could coproduce iturins, fengycins, and surfactins. Results showed that the FJAT-52631 crude lipopeptide, purified fengycin, iturin, and surfactin standards exhibited strong inhibition activities against lipase with dose-dependence manners (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 0.011, 0.005, 0.056, and 0.005 mg/mL, respectively). Moreover, fengycin and surfactin had the comparable activities with orlistat, but iturin not. It was revealed that the inhibition mechanism and type of the lipopeptides were reversible and competitive. The quenching mechanism of lipase was static and only one binding site between lipase and lipopoeptide was inferred from the fluorescence analysis. The docking analysis displayed that fengycin and surfactin could directly interact with the active amino acid residues (Ser or Asp) of lipase, but not with iturin. Our work suggests that the B. velezensis lipopeptides would have great potential to act as lipase inhibitors.

Project description:GPIHBP1 is an endothelial cell protein that serves as a platform for lipoprotein lipase-mediated processing of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins within the capillaries of heart, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. The absence of GPIHBP1 causes severe chylomicronemia. A hallmark of GPIHBP1 is the ability to bind lipoprotein lipase, chylomicrons, and apolipoprotein (apo-) AV. A homozygous G56R mutation in GPIHBP1 was recently identified in two siblings with chylomicronemia, and the authors of that study suggested that the G56R substitution was responsible for the hyperlipidemia. In this study, we created a human GPIHBP1 expression vector, introduced the G56R mutation, and tested the ability of the mutant GPIHBP1 to reach the cell surface and bind lipoprotein lipase, chylomicrons, and apo-AV. Our studies revealed that the G56R substitution did not affect the ability of GPIHBP1 to reach the cell surface, nor did the amino acid substitution have any discernible effect on the binding of lipoprotein lipase, chylomicrons, or apo-AV.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisLipids are a potent stimulus for the secretion of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). Traditionally, this effect was thought to involve the sensing of lipid digestion products by free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) and G-protein coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) on the apical surface of enteroendocrine cells. However, recent evidence suggests that lipids may in fact be sensed basolaterally, and that fatty acid absorption and chylomicron synthesis may be a prerequisite for their stimulatory effect on gut peptide release. Therefore, we investigated the effect of chylomicrons on GLP-1 and GIP secretion in vitro.MethodsThe effect of chylomicrons on incretin secretion was investigated using GLUTag cells and duodenal cultures of both murine and human origin. The role of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and FFA1 in GLUTag cells was assessed by pharmacological inhibition and small (short) interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown. The effect of chylomicrons on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined by imaging GLUTag cells loaded with Fura-2. In the primary setting, the contributions of FFA1 and GPR119 were investigated using L cell-specific Gpr119 knockout cultures treated with the FFA1 antagonist GW1100.ResultsChylomicrons stimulated GLP-1 release from GLUTag cells, and both GLP-1 and GIP secretion from human and murine duodenal cultures. Chylomicron-triggered GLP-1 secretion from GLUTag cells was largely abolished following lipase inhibition with orlistat or siRNA-mediated knockdown of Lpl. In GLUTag cells, both GW1100 and siRNA-mediated Ffar1 knockdown reduced GLP-1 secretion in response to chylomicrons, and, consistent with FFA1 Gq-coupling, chylomicrons triggered an increase in [Ca2+]i. However, LPL and FFA1 inhibition had no significant effect on chylomicron-mediated incretin secretion in murine cultures. Furthermore, the loss of GPR119 had no impact on GLP-1 secretion in response to chylomicrons, even in the presence of GW1100.Conclusions/interpretationChylomicrons stimulate incretin hormone secretion from GLUTag cells as well as from human and murine duodenal cultures. In GLUTag cells, the molecular pathway was found to involve LPL-mediated lipolysis, leading to the release of lipid species that activated FFA1 and elevated intracellular calcium.

Project description:Chylomicrons with a decreased ratio of C-II/C-III apoproteins on their surface produced by the addition of apoproteins C-III-0 or C-III-3 to intact rat lymph chylomicrons. These chylomicrons inhibited the activity of soluble lipoprotein lipase in vitro, but had no effect on the activity of the endothelium-bound enzyme in the perfused heart.
