Hypertriglyceridemia in Transgenic Mice
We have generated transgenic mice expressing the human apolipoprotein CII (apoCI ) gene under the transcriptional control of the human cytochrome P450 IA1 (CYPIAl) promoter. Human apoCIt transgenic (HuCIITg) mice exhibited significant basal expression of the transgene (plasma apoCIl level = 26.1±4 mg/dl) and showed further induction of transgene expression after treatment with fl-naphthoflavone...
متن کاملDetection of mutations in the apolipoprotein CII gene by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Identification of the splice site variant apolipoprotein CII-Hamburg in a patient with severe hypertriglyceridemia.
Familial apolipoprotein (apo) CII deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism clinically resembling lipoprotein lipase deficiency. A number of mutations of the apo CII gene are known to date; they are located in the promoter region, the coding exons, or in the splice junctions. We present a simple assay based on PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, which allo...
متن کاملResistant Hypertriglyceridemia in a Patient With High Plasma Levels of Apolipoprotein CII
With High Plasma Levels of Apolipoprotein CII To the Editor: Human apolipoprotein CII (apo CII) consists of 79 amino acid residues and is required as a cofactor in the hydrolysis of triacylglycerides of chylomicrons and VLDL by lipoprotein lipase.1,2 Familial apo CII deficiency is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by fasting hypertriglyceridemia and an accumulation of chylom...

متن کاملDemonstration of Apolipoprotein CII in Guinea Pigs
In contrast to plasma from other mammals, guinea pig plasma does not stimulate the activity of lipoprotein lipases in vitro. This has led previously to the conclusion that guinea pigs lack an analogue to apolipoprotein CII (apoCII). By adsorption of lipid-binding proteins to lipid droplets, thereby separating them from other plasma components, we could demonstrate apoCII-like activity in guine...
