  • 摘要:Triglycerides (TG) are required for fatty acid transport and storage and are essential for human health. Angiopoietin-like-protein 8 (ANGPTL8) has previously been shown to form a complex with ANGPTL3 that increases circulating TG by potently inhibiting LPL. We also recently showed that the TG-lowering apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) decreases TG levels by suppressing ANGPTL3/8-mediated LPL inhibition. To understand how LPL binds ANGPTL3/8 and ApoA5 blocks this interaction, we used hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry and molecular modeling to map binding sites of LPL and ApoA5 on ANGPTL3/8. Remarkably, we found that LPL and ApoA5 both bound a unique ANGPTL3/8 epitope consisting of N-terminal regions of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 that are unmasked upon formation of the ANGPTL3/8 complex. We further used ANGPTL3/8 as an immunogen to develop an antibody targeting this same epitope. After refocusing on antibodies that bound ANGPTL3/8, as opposed to ANGPTL3 or ANGPTL8 alone, we utilized bio-layer interferometry to select an antibody exhibiting high-affinity binding to the desired epitope. We revealed an ANGPTL3/8 leucine zipper-like motif within the anti-ANGPTL3/8 epitope, the LPL-inhibitory region, and the ApoA5-interacting region, suggesting the mechanism by which ApoA5 lowers TG is via competition with LPL for the same ANGPTL3/8-binding site. Supporting this hypothesis, we demonstrate that the anti-ANGPTL3/8 antibody potently blocked ANGPTL3/8-mediated LPL inhibition in vitro and dramatically lowered TG levels in vivo. Together, these data show that an anti-ANGPTL3/8 antibody targeting the same leucine zipper-containing epitope recognized by LPL and ApoA5 markedly decreases TG by suppressing ANGPTL3/8-mediated LPL inhibition.
