چکیده

The role of phospholipids in the assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) has been investigated by incubation of monolayer cultures of rat hepatocytes with monomethylethanolamine, an analogue of ethanolamine and choline. The cellular concentration of phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine was increased 17-fold in response to treatment of hepatocytes with monomethylethanolamine. The secretion of phosphatidylcholine, triacylglycerol, and the apolipoproteins BH, BL, and E into VLDL was inhibited by approximately 50% in hepatocytes incubated with monomethylethanolamine, compared to untreated cells. Cell viability was unaffected by treatment with the ethanolamine analogue, as was cellular protein synthesis. The mechanism by which monomethylethanolamine reduced VLDL secretion was examined. Since monomethylethanolamine is a structural analogue of ethanolamine and choline, an obvious hypothesis for explanation of the effect on VLDL secretion was that phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, which is required for VLDL secretion (Z. Yao and D. E. Vance. 1988. J. Biol. Chem. 263: 2998-3004) was inhibited. However, the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine from [3H]choline or from [3H]glycerol was not significantly reduced in the analogue-treated, compared with the untreated, hepatocytes. Nor was the incorporation of [3H]glycerol into cellular triacylglycerol altered in the monomethylethanolamine-treated cells. Furthermore, addition of monomethylethanolamine to hepatocytes did not reduce the rate of biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine either from CDP-ethanolamine or from phosphatidylserine, nor was phosphatidylserine biosynthesis from [3-3H]serine affected. The 50% inhibition of VLDL secretion elicited by monomethylethanolamine was apparently specific for VLDL because there was no difference in secretion of HDL (lipid or apoprotein moieties) or albumin by cells incubated with or without the ethanolamine analogue. The experiments showed that inhibition of VLDL secretion by monomethylethanolamine was not the result of decreased biosynthesis of phospholipids, triacylglycerols, or cholesteryl esters. More subtle effects of the ethanolamine/choline analogue, for example interference by the increased amount of phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, in the process of assembly of lipids with apoB remain a possibility.

Movement of apolipoprotein B into the lumen of microsomes from hepatocytes is disrupted in membranes enriched in phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine.

When monolayer cultures of rat hepatocytes are incubated with the ethanolamine/choline analogue, monomethylethanolamine, the secretion of apolipoproteins B100 and B48, as well as the lipid constituents, of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is inhibited by approximately 50% (Vance, J. E. (1991) J. Lipid Res. 32, 1971-1982). In the present study we have investigated the mechanism by which monom...

SUPPRESSION OF VLDL-TRIACYLGLYCEROL SECRETION B Y BOTH α AND β-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONISTS IN ISOLATED RAT HEPATOCYTES

The effects of alpha and beta-adrenergic stimulation on triacylglycerol secretion were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine within 3h of incubation suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 35% and increased its cellular content by 18%. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of phentolamine and also prazosin but not with propranolol. Trifluoperazine c...

Head group specificity in the requirement of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis for very low density lipoprotein secretion from cultured hepatocytes.

We have demonstrated that hepatic very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion requires active phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis via either the CDP-choline pathway or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) methylation pathway (Yao, Z., and Vance, D.E. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2998-3004). In the present work, the head group specificity of phospholipid synthesis required for lipoprotein secretion was ...

The effects of cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and anticalmodulin W-7 were studied on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl-cAMP and W -7 separately caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H]glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The inhibito...
