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. [35S]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.Maugeais, C., U.
