  • 摘要:The effects of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) on the distribution of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I between high density lipoprotein (HDL) subspecies and its impact on efflux and esterification of cell-derived cholesterol was studied in transgenic mice expressing either the human apoA-I (HuAITg) or both the human apoA-I and CETP (HuAICETPTg) transgenes. The simultaneous expression of the human CETP and apoA-I transgenes induced a 2-fold increase in the proportion of human apoA-I in the prebeta-HDL fraction and 1.4- and 2.2-fold increases in the HDL3a and HDL3c fractions, respectively, at the expense of the larger HDL2b population. HuAICETPTg mouse plasma has a greater ability to cause efflux of cholesterol from 3H-labeled fibroblasts than plasma from HuAITg mice. Furthermore, the LCAT-mediated esterification of cell-derived cholesterol is increased 1.7-fold in mice expressing the human apoA-I and CETP transgenes compared to HuAITg mouse plasma. LCAT activity (measured with an exogenous substrate) was increased 1.4-fold and LCAT mRNA levels were increased 1.3-fold as a result of CETP expression. Taken together, these data indicate that in vivo, the expression of CETP resulted in an increase in the proportion of apoA-I in the prebeta-HDL fraction and a stimulation of the efflux and esterification of cell-derived cholesterol.
