Retinyl esters (RE) have been used extensively as markers to study chylomicron (CM) catabolism because they are secreted in the postprandial state with CM and do not exchange with other lipoproteins in the plasma. To understand the mechanism of secretion of RE by the intestine under the fasting and postprandial states, differentiated Caco-2 cells were supplemented with radiolabeled retinol under conditions that support or do not support CM secretion. We observed that these cells assimilate vitamin A by a rapid uptake mechanism. After uptake, cells store retinol in both esterified and unesterified forms. Under fasting conditions, cells do not secrete RE but secrete free retinol unassociated with lipoproteins. Under postprandial conditions, cells secrete significant amounts of RE only with CM. The secretion of RE with CM was independent of the rate of uptake of retinol and intracellular free and esterified retinol levels, and was absolutely dependent on the assembly and secretion of CM. The secretion of RE was correlated with the secretion of CM and not with the secretion of total apolipoprotein B. Inhibition of CM secretion by Pluronic L81 decreased the secretion of RE and did not result in their increased secretion with smaller lipoproteins.
These data strongly suggest that RE secretion by the intestinal cells is a specific and regulated process that occurs in the postprandial state and is dependent on the assembly and secretion of CM. We propose that RE are added to CM during final stages of lipoprotein assembly and may serve as signposts for these steps. — Nayak, N., E. H. Harrison, and M. M. Hussain.
