Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia and low plasma HDL levels, which are principal features of the metabolic syndrome, are displayed by transgenic mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-II (hapoA-II). In these mice, hypertriglyceridemia results from the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities by hapoA-II carried on VLDL. This study aimed to determine whether the association of hapoA-II with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) is sufficient to impair their catabolism. To measure plasma TRL residence time, intestinal TRL production was induced by a radioactive oral lipid bolus. Radioactive and total triglyceride (TG) were rapidly cleared in control mice but accumulated in plasma of transgenic mice, in relation to hapoA-II concentration. Similar plasma TG accumulations were measured in transgenic mice with or without endogenous apoA-II expression. HapoA-II (synthesized in liver) was detected in chylomicrons (produced by intestine). The association of hapoA-II with TRL in plasma was further confirmed by the absence of hapoA-II in chylomicrons and VLDL of transgenic mice injected with Triton WR 1339, which prevents apolipoprotein exchanges. We show that the association of hapoA-II with TRL occurs in the circulation and induces postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. |
