Withdrawing growth factors or serum from endothelial cells leads to the activation of effector caspases 3 and 7, resulting in apoptotic cell death. HDL protects against caspase induction through sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. This anti-caspase activity of HDL is antagonized by VLDL from apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) (genotype, APOE4/4; apolipoprotein, apoE) targeted replacement (TR) mice, but not by VLDL from TR APOE3/3 mice, and requires the binding of apoE4-VLDL to an LDL receptor family member. In the absence of HDL, apoE4-VLDL and apoE3-VLDL from TR mice have limited antiapoptotic activity. In contrast, we show here that a high-fat/high-cholesterol/cholate diet (HFD) radically alters this biological activity of VLDL. On HFD, both apoE3-VLDL and apoE4-VLDL (HFD VLDL) inhibit caspase 3/7 activation initiated by serum withdrawal. This activity of HFD VLDL is independent of an LDL receptor family member but requires the activation of S1P₃ receptors, as shown by the ability of pharmacological block of S1P receptors by VPC 23019 and by small interfering RNA-mediated downregulation of S1P₃ receptors to inhibit HFD VLDL anticaspase activity.
