Chylomicronemia due to apolipoprotein CIII overexpression in apolipoprotein E-null mice. Apolipoprotein CIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia is not mediated by effects on apolipoprotein E.
The mechanism of apolipoprotein (apo) CIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia remains uncertain. We crossed apoCIII transgenic and apoE gene knockout (apoE0) mice, and observed severe hypertriglyceridemia with plasma triglyceride levels of 4,521+/-6, 394 mg/dl vs. 423+/-106 mg/dl in apoE0 mice, P < 0.00001 for log(triglycerides [TG]). Cholesterols were 1,181+/-487 mg/dl vs. 658+/-151 mg/dl, P < 0.000...
متن کاملApolipoprotein CIII: a link between hypertriglyceridemia and vascular dysfunction?
The incidence of obesity-associated disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, is continuously increasing worldwide.1 These disorders are characterized by abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism, putting patients at increased risk for macroand microvascular complications.2 Although statin treatment, which primarily targets elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-...
متن کاملPurification of anti-apolipoprotein CIII antibodies by exploiting their affinity for apolipoprotein CIII linked to polyacrylamide gel after isoelectric focusing.
A new immunoaffinity technique for purifying anti-apolipoprotein CIII antibodies has been developed by isolating bands of apo CIII2 from isoelectric focusing (IEF) gel. Total apo C was obtained from delipidated very-low-density lipoprotein by chromatography on Sephacryl S 200. Apo CIII2 was separated from the apo CII band by IEF on polyacrylamide gel with use of pH 4-6 ampholytes. After sonicat...
متن کاملMacrophage-specific expression of human apolipoprotein E reduces atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E-null mice.
apoE deficiency causes hyperlipidemia and premature atherosclerosis. To determine if macrophage-specific expression of apoE would decrease the extent of atherosclerosis, we expressed human apoE in macrophages of apoE-null mice (apoE-/-) and assessed the effect on lipid accumulation in cells of the arterial wall. Macrophage-specific expression of human apoE in normal mice was obtained by use of ...
متن کاملSstI Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein CIII Gene in Iranian Hyperlipidemic Patients: A Study in Semnan Province
Objective(s) The Sst-I polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo CIII gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between Sst-I polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (HLP) patients from Semnan province, Iran. Materials and Methods Genomic DNA was pr...
