摘要：Our studies were conducted to explore the role of hepatic fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in fatty acid transport to the nucleus. Purified rat L-FABP facilitated the specific interaction of [³H]oleic acid with the nuclei. L-FABP complexed with unlabeled oleic acid decreased the nuclear association of [³H]oleic acid:L-FABP; however, oleic acid-saturated bovine serum albumin (BSA) or fatty acid-free L-FABP did not. The peroxisome-proliferating agents LY171883, bezafibrate, and WY-14,643 were also effective competitors when complexed to L-FABP. Nuclease treatment did not affect the nuclear association of [³H]oleic acid:L-FABP; however, proteinase treatment of the nuclei abolished the binding. Nuclei incubated with fluorescein-conjugated L-FABP in the presence of oleic acid were highly fluorescent whereas no fluorescence was observed in reactions lacking oleic acid, suggesting that L-FABP itself was binding to the nuclei. The nuclear binding of FABP was concentration dependent, saturable, and competitive. LY189585, a ligand for L-FABP, also facilitated the nuclear binding of fluorescein-conjugated L-FABP, although it was less potent than oleic acid. A structural analog that does not bind L-FABP, LY163443, was relatively inactive in stimulating the nuclear binding. Potential interactions between L-FABP and nuclear proteins were analyzed by Far-Western blotting and identified a 33-kDa protein in the 500 m m NaCl extract of rat hepatocyte nuclei that bound strongly to biotinylated L-FABP. Oleic acid enhanced the interaction of L-FABP with the 33-kDa protein as well as other nuclear proteins. We propose that L-FABP is involved in communicating the state of fatty acid metabolism from the cytosol to the nucleus through an interaction with lipid mediators that are involved in nuclear signal transduction. —Lawrence, J.
