摘要:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether soluble factors in plasma of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) patients affect hepatic protein secretion. Cultured human hepatocytes, i.e., HepG2 cells, were incubated with fasting plasma (20%, v/v, in DMEM) from untreated FCHL patients or normolipidemic controls. Overall protein secretion was 10–15% higher after incubation with FCHL plasma. This was specifically caused by an increase in four secreted proteins, with estimated sizes of 240, 180, 120, and P P P P r = 0.61, P P FCHL plasma did not induce excess secretion of apoB by HepG2 cells compared with control plasma. FCHL plasma did stimulate secretion of several distinct hepatic proteins, among which fibronectin was identified.
