Targeted mutation of plasma phospholipid transfer protein gene markedly reduces high-density lipoprotein levels.
It has been proposed that the plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) facilitates the transfer of phospholipids and cholesterol from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) into high-density lipoproteins (HDL). To evaluate the in vivo role of PLTP in lipoprotein metabolism, we used homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells and produced mice with no PLTP gene expression. Analysis of plas...
متن کامل-high Density Lipoprotein, Apolipoprotein AI, and Phospholipid in Mice Expressing the Human Phospholipid Transfer Protein and Human Apolipoprotein AI Transgenes
Human plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) circulates bound to high density lipoprotein (HDL) and mediates both net transfer and exchange of phospholipids between different lipoproteins. However, its overall function in lipoprotein metabolism is unknown. To assess the effects of increased plasma levels of PLTP, human PLTP transgenic mice were established using the human PLTP gene driven ...
متن کاملThe mechanism of human plasma phospholipid transfer protein-induced enlargement of high-density lipoprotein particles: evidence for particle fusion.
1. Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) mediates conversion of high-density lipoprotein (HDL3) to large particles, with concomitant release of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). To study the mechanisms involved in this conversion, reconstituted HDL (rHDL) particles containing either fluorescent pyrenylacyl cholesterol ester (PyrCE) in their core (PyrCE-rHDL) or pyrenylacyl phosphatidylcholine (PysPC)...
متن کاملLiver-specific phospholipid transfer protein deficiency reduces high-density lipoprotein and non-high-density lipoprotein production in mice.
OBJECTIVE The liver is one of the critical organs for lipoprotein metabolism and a major source for phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) expression. The effect of liver-specific PLTP deficiency on plasma lipoprotein production and metabolism in mice was investigated. APPROACH AND RESULTS We created a liver-specific PLTP-deficient mouse model. We measured plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ...
متن کاملCholesteryl ester transfer between high density lipoprotein and phospholipid bilayers.
High density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters (HDL CE) are taken up by many cells without parallel uptake of HDL apoproteins, a pathway we have termed "selective uptake." The first step in this pathway, the reversible incorporation of HDL CE into the plasma membrane, is the subject of the present study. To examine the role of membrane proteins, the rate of HDL CE incorporation into iso...
