摘要：Retinoids are reported to stimulate apolipoprotein (apo) A-I gene promoter activity (Rottman et al. 1991. Mol. Cell. Biol. 11: 3814-3820) and apoA-I protein secretion by monkey hepatocytes (Kaptein et al. 1993. Arterioscler. Thromb. 13: 1505-1514). In this study we have assessed the effects of retinoids on parameters of apoA-I biosynthesis in human cell lines. Caco-2 and HepG2 cells (human intestinal and hepatoma cell lines, respectively, both known to express and secrete apoA-I) were stably transfected with a reporter gene construct containing 1.3 kb of the 5-'flanking region of the human apoA-I gene linked to the firefly luciferase coding region. These cells were incubated for 48 h with 10 microM all-trans retinoic acid (RA) or 9-cis RA. The cells were then assayed for luciferase activity, for apoA-I mRNA level, and for secretion of apoA-I protein in the medium. Secretion of apoB was monitored as well. In Caco-2 cells, all-trans and 9-cis RA increased luciferase activity, mRNA content, and protein secretion by 40% to 80% above control. Strikingly, in HepG2 cells all-trans and 9-cis RA caused a more marked stimulation of luciferase activity (by 100-150%) but a weaker increase of mRNA content and protein secretion (by 25-30%). In contrast, apoB secretion was inhibited by the two retinoids in Caco-2 cells and not changed in HepG2 cells.( TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
