Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein found mainly in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Its function is yet to
be defined. ApoM (25 kDa) has a typical lipocalin ?-barrel fold and a hydrophobic pocket. Retinoids bind apoM but with low
affinity and may not be the natural ligands. ApoM retains its signal peptide, which serves as a hydrophobic anchor to the
lipoproteins. This prevents apoM from being lost in the urine. Approximately 5% of HDL carries an apoM molecule. ApoM in plasma
(1 μM) correlates strongly with both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and HDL cholesterol, suggesting a link to cholesterol metabolism.
However, in casecontrol studies, apoM levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and controls were similar, suggesting
apoM levels not to affect the risk for CHD in humans. Experiments in transgenic mice suggested apoM to have antiatherogenic
properties; possible mechanisms include increased formation of pre-? HDL, enhanced cholesterol mobilization from foam cells,
and increased antioxidant properties.

EA.hy 926 cells, a human endothelial cell line, show characteristics of differentiated endothelial cells. The cells express saturable binding of apo E-free125I-high density lipoprotein3 (HDL3). Bmax increased from 71 to 226 ng HDL3 bound/mg cell protein after cholesterol loading of the confluent endothelial cells with cationized low density lipoprotein (LDL). The affinity did not change after cholesterol enrichment (Kd was 37 g HDL3 protein/ml for control cells and 31 g/ml, for loaded cells). Incubation of cholesterol-loaded EA.hy 926 cells with native HDL and LDL had different effects on cellular cholesterol levels. Incubation with HDL decreased both esterified and unesterified cellular cholesteryl, but LDL did not change total cellular cholesterol However, LDL tended to increase cellular cholesteryl esters, with a concomitant decrease of unesterified, cellular cholesterol. Incubation of endothelial cells with both HDL and LDL also resulted in decreased total cellular cholesterol levels. These data show that cationized LDL-loaded human endothelial EA.hy 926 cells can be used to study the net transport of cellular cholesterol to HDL, the first step in reverse cholesterol transport. 相似文献

Studies in the past years have implicated multispan transmembrane transport molecules of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter
family in cellular lipid export processes. The prototypic ABC transporter ABCA1 has recently been demonstrated to act as a
major facilitator of cellular cholesterol and phospholipid export. Moreover, the transporter ABCA4 (ABCR) plays a pivotal
role in retinaldehyde processing, and ABCA3 has recently implicated in lung surfactant processing. These pioneering observations
have directed considerable attention to the A subfamily of ABC proteins. ABCA2 is the codefining member of the ABC A-transporter
subclass. Although known for some time, it was not until recently that its complete molecular structure was established. Unlike
other ABC A-subfamily members, ABCA2 is predominantly expressed in the brain and neural tissues. The unique expression profile
together with available structural data suggest roles for this largest known ABC protein in neural transmembrane lipid export.

The binding of HDL, Apo-E-free, was studied in rats fed a cholesterol rich diet for 2, 4 and 7 days. Plasma cholesterol increased up to 16-fold (from 55 to 900 mg/dl); liver cholesterol was also raised, from 0.5 to 16 mg/g of tissue. The HDL binding to membrane preparations was not affected while the binding of beta VLDL was reduced to about 50% of the controls. These data show, therefore, that liver binding sites for HDL are refractory to regulation by dietary cholesterol. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is a major exchangeable apolipoprotein of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), and plays an important role in reverse cholesterol transport. This process involves transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for processing, thereby eliminating excess cholesterol from the body. The function of apoA-I and its interaction with other components of HDL, including lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, seems to be closely linked to its structural plasticity. ApoA-I is likely to undergo changes in its structure and orientation between the various HDL subclasses and, therefore, knowledge of the precise structure of apoA-I is essential for understanding its role in the antiatherogenic properties of HDL. This review focuses on the role of apoA-I in reverse cholesterol transport and the work done by various groups to determine the structure of apoA-I in discoidal HDL particles. 相似文献

Cell surface receptors for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) on hepatocytes are major partners in the regulation of cholesterol
homeostasis. We recently identified a cell surface ATP synthase as a high-affinity receptor for HDL apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)
on human hepatocytes. Stimulation of this ectopic ATP synthase by apoA-I triggered a low-affinity-receptor-dependent HDL endocytosis
by a mechanism strictly related to the generation of ADP. This suggests that nucleotide G-protein- coupled receptors of the
P2Y family are molecular components in this pathway. Only P2Y1 and P2Y13 are present on the membrane of hepatocytes. Using both a pharmacological approach and small interference RNA, we identified
P2Y13 as the main partner in hepatic HDL endocytosis, in cultured cells as well as in situ in perfused mouse livers. We also found
a new important action of the antithrombotic agent AR-C69931MX as a strong activator of P2Y13-mediated HDL endocytosis.

Golden hamsters with spontaneous hypercholesterolemia at 22 degrees C developed a further increase in plasma cholesterol when they were maintained at 6 degrees C. This hypercholesterolemia was associated with a redistribution of plasma cholesterol between VLDL and HDL. Plasma cholesterol transported in the VLDL decreased while cholesterol in the HDL increased by 45%. The LDL profile was not significantly modified. 相似文献

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that facilitates the transfer of cholesteryl esters from
the atheroprotective high density lipoprotein (HDL) to the proatherogenic low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and very
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) leading to lower levels of HDL but raising the levels of proatherogenic LDL and
VLDL. Inhibition of CETP is considered a potential approach to treat dyslipidemia. However, discussions regarding the role
of CETP-mediated lipid transfer in the development of atherosclerosis and CETP inhibition as a potential strategy for prevention
of atherosclerosis have been controversial. Although many animal studies support the hypothesis that inhibition of CETP activity
may be beneficial, negative phase III studies on clinical endpoints with the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib challenged the future
perspectives of CETP inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents. The review provides an update on current understanding of
the molecular mechanisms involved in CETP activity and its inhibition. 相似文献

The primary objective of this review was to assess the size and consistency of Royal Jelly (RJ) effect on serum lipids in experimental animals and humans. The data from animal studies were pooled, where possible, and statistically evaluated by Student's t-test. Meta-analysis was used for the evaluation of human trials. It was found that RJ significantly decreased serum and liver total lipids and cholesterol levels in rats and rabbits and also retarded the formation of atheromas in the aorta of rabbits fed a hyperlipemic diet. Meta-analysis of the controlled human trials of RJ to reduce hyperlipidemia showed a significant reduction in total serum lipids and cholesterol levels and normalization of HDL and LDL as determined from decrease in β/α lipoproteins. The best available evidence suggests that RJ at approximately 50 to 100 mg per day, decreased total serum cholesterol levels by about 14%, and total serum lipids by about 10% in the group of patients studied. 相似文献

The protective effect of high density lipoproteins (HDL) against atherosclerosis is mainly attributed to their capacity to transport excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver for further elimination into the bile, a process called reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Recently, the importance of the P2Y13 receptor (P2Y13-R) was highlighted in HDL metabolism since HDL uptake by the liver was decreased in P2Y13-R deficient mice, which translated into impaired RCT. Here, we investigated for the first time the molecular mechanisms regulating cell surface expression of P2Y13-R. When transiently expressed, P2Y13-R was mainly detected in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and strongly subjected to proteasome degradation while its homologous P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12-R) was efficiently targeted to the plasma membrane. We observed an inverse correlation between cell surface expression and ubiquitination level of P2Y13-R in the ER, suggesting a close link between ubiquitination of P2Y13-R and its efficient targeting to the plasma membrane. The C-terminus tail exchange between P2Y13-R and P2Y12-R strongly restored plasma membrane expression of P2Y13-R, suggesting the involvement of the intra-cytoplasmic tail of P2Y13-R in expression defect. Accordingly, proteasomal inhibition increased plasma membrane expression of functionally active P2Y13-R in hepatocytes, and consequently stimulated P2Y13-R-mediated HDL endocytosis. Importantly, proteasomal inhibition strongly potentiated HDL hepatic uptake (>200 %) in wild-type but not in P2Y13-R-deficient mice, thus reinforcing the role of P2Y13-R expression in regulating HDL metabolism. Therefore, specific inhibition of the ubiquitin–proteasome system might be a novel powerful HDL therapy to enhance P2Y13-R expression and consequently promote the overall RCT. 相似文献

The product of the MDR1 gene (P-gp) has been implicated in the transport of cholesterol from plasma membrane to endoplasmic reticulum for esterification.
In previous studies on leukemia cell lines, we suggested that cholesterol esterification may regulate the rate of cell growth
and that the MDR1 gene might be involved in this process by modulating intracellular cholesterol esters levels. To further investigate this
matter, the rate of cell growth, cholesterol metabolism, expression of the MDR1 gene, and P-gp activity were compared in KB cell lines displaying differences in expression and function of P-gp (drug-sensitive
phenotype versus MDR phenotype). The rate of cell growth correlated with cholesterol esterification in all KB cell lines,
whereas the over-expression of MDR1 observed in the MDR cell lines was not always associated with an increased capacity of cells to esterify cholesterol. Two
known inhibitors of P-gp activity, progesterone and verapamil, strongly inhibited both cholesterol esterification and cell
proliferation in all KB cell lines, but they affected intracellular accumulation of labeled vinblastine only in MDR cell lines.
These results further support a role for cholesterol esters in the regulation of cell growth and suggest that the P-gp expressed
in MDR KB cells is not involved in the general process leading to cholesterol esterification.

We have previously demonstrated on human hepatocytes that apolipoprotein A-I binding to an ecto-F1-ATPase stimulates the production of extracellular ADP that activates a P2Y13-mediated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) endocytosis pathway. Therefore, we investigated the mechanisms controlling the extracellular
ATP/ADP level in hepatic cell lines and primary cultures to determine their impact on HDL endocytosis. Here we show that addition
of ADP to the cell culture medium induced extracellular ATP production that was due to adenylate kinase
and nucleoside diphosphokinase
activities, but not to ATP synthase activity. We further observed that in vitro modulation of both ecto-NDPK and AK activities could regulate the ADP-dependent HDL endocytosis. But interestingly, only
AK appeared to naturally participate in the pathway by consuming the ADP generated by the ecto-F1-ATPase. Thus controlling the extracellular ADP level is a potential target for reverse cholesterol transport regulation.

High blood low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a serious health problem among an increased number of patients in
the Western world. Statins and other cholesterol lowering drugs have proven to be beneficial as therapy but are not optimal
and show adverse effects in some patients. The LDL receptor is a crucial determinant of cholesterol metabolism in the body
and amenable for drug interventions. Novel insights into the physiology of this receptor come from studies on the ubiquitination
and degradation of LDL receptor by the ubiquitin ligase Mylip/Idol that is induced in cells by the nuclear receptor, LXR.
This may open up new possibilities in the future to influence LDL receptor levels and cholesterol metabolism pharmacologically
in various diseases. 相似文献

Aside from cholesterol, cholesterol esters and lyso-lecithin, the de novo lipid synthesic mechanisms which operate in cells grown in the presence of beta-amino-propionitrile are largely depressed and suggest that there may be in operation specific metabolic control mechanisms for regulation of cellular lipid composition. 相似文献
