摘要：In vitro studies have shown that the binding site for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is within the first 17% of apoB (apoB-17). Expression of apoB-48 in McArdle cells decreases endogenous lipoprotein production; however, overexpression of human apoB in transgenic mice does not decrease endogenous mouse apoB expression. To assess this inconsistency, adenoviruses expressing human apoB-17 (AdB17) or apoB-17-β (which contains apoB-17 plus a small lipid-binding β-sheet region of apoB, AdB-17β) were produced. Hepatoma cells were infected with AdB17 or AdB17-β with AdLacZ, an adenovirus expressing β-galactosidase, as a control. Overexpression of apoB-17 and apoB-17-β in hepatoma cells to levels 2- to 3-fold greater than that of endogenous apoB did not alter endogenous apoB production. This was also true in the presence of oleic acid and N -acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal. High levels of apoB-17 or β-galactosidase expression reduced apoB-100 production; however, control protein production was also reduced. To assess the effects of apoB-17 expression in vivo, mice of three different strains were injected with AdB17. Two days after injection, plasma apoB-17 was approximately 24 times the amount of endogenous apoB in the C57BL/6 mice, 2 times the apoB-100 in human apoB transgenic mice, and 4 times the apoB-48 in apoE knockout mice. Overexpression of apoB-17 did not decrease apoB-100 or apoB-48 concentrations in mouse plasma as assessed by Western blot analysis. These results demonstrate that although the apoB-17 binds to MTP in vitro, it does not alter endogenous apoB expression in mice or in hepatoma cells.— Li, Z., Y. Kako, L. Pang, M. W. Freeman, J. M.
