Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) induces the translocation of newly synthesized cholesterol as well as caveolin-1 to the cytosolic lipid-protein particle (CLPP) fraction in astrocytes before its appearance in high density lipoprotein generated in the medium (Ito, J., Y. Nagayasu, K. Kato, R. Sato, and S. Yokoyama. 2002. Apolipoprotein A-I induces translocation of cholesterol, phospholipid, and caveolin-1 to cytosol in rat astrocytes. J. Biol. Chem. 277: 7929–7935). We here report the association of signal-related molecules with CLPP. ApoA-I induces rapid translocation of protein kinase C to the CLPP fraction and its phosphorylation in astrocytes. ApoA-I also induces the translocation of phospholipase C to CLPP. Diacylglyceride (DG) production is increased by apoA-I in the cells, with a maximum at 5 min after the stimulation, and the increase takes place also in the CLPP fraction. An inhibitor of receptor-coupled phospholipase C, U73122, inhibited all the apoA-I-induced events, such as DG production, cholesterol translocation to the cytosol, release of cholesterol, and translocation of protein kinase C into the CLPP fraction.

CLPP may thus be involved in the apoA-I-initiated signal transduction in astrocytes that is related to intracellular cholesterol trafficking for the generation of high density lipoprotein in the brain.
