Elevated serum levels of triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins (TRL) are a major risk factor predisposing to atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III is a major constituent of TRL that impedes triglyceride hydrolysis and remnant clearance and, as such, may exert pro-atherogenic activities. In the present study, transient cotransfection experiments in rat hepatocytes in primary culture and rabbit kidney RK13 cells demonstrated that overexpression of Rev-erb specifically decreases basal and HNF-4 stimulated human apo C-III promoter activity. A Rev-erb response element was mapped by promoter deletion, mutation analysis and gel-shift experiments to a AGGTCA half-site located at position -23/-18 (downstream of the TATA box) in the apo C-III promoter. Finally, Rev-erb -deficient mice displayed elevated serum and liver mRNA levels of apo C-III together with increased serum VLDL triglycerides. Taken together, our data identify Rev-erb as a regulator of apo C-III gene expression, providing a novel, physiological role for this nuclear receptor in the regulation of lipid metabolism.
