Apolipoprotein E-mediated binding of hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoproteins to isolated low density lipoprotein receptors detected by ligand blotting

Summary

HTG-VLDL1, like LDL, bind with high affinity to electrophoretically transferred, isolated LDL receptors partially purified from bovine adrenal glands. Ligand blotting techniques show that binding is calcium dependent; little or no binding of LDL or HTG-VLDL1 is observed in the presence of 10 mM EDTA. HTG-VLDL1 does not bind in the presence of 7 mM suramin, an inhibitor of LDL binding to the LDL receptor. Pretreatment of LDL with either thrombin or trypsin does not affect apoB-mediated LDL binding to the LDL receptor. ApoE-mediated binding of HTG-VLDL1 to the blotted LDL receptor is abolished or greatly decreased by thrombin treatment of HTG-VLDL1 trypsin treatment of HTG-VLDL1 abolishes binding. Reincorporation of apoE into trypsinized HTG-VLDL1 restores binding. These studies demonstrate unequivocally that HTG-VLDL1 bind to the LDL receptor, that the binding of HTG-VLDL1 to the isolated LDL receptor is mediated through the thrombin-accessible apoE, and that HTG-VLDL1 which bind via potentially dissociable apoE rather than non-tranferable apoB can be used for ligand blotting.

    It is conceivable that these lipoprotein particles or their remnants accommodate a larger amount of apolipoprotein E (apoE) on their surface than the normal apoB-100 VLDL (or apoB-100 VLDL remnants). The presence of apoE, a high-affinity ligand for the LDL receptor,17 would facilitate the receptor-mediated uptake of these lipoproteins by the liver and by peripheral tissues. This would ensure a normal delivery of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol to the cells to maintain intracellular cholesterol homeostasis.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Neither receptor was detected in solubilized ovary membrane protein prior to purification nor in the VtgAa/b (ligand) preparation, thus they were selectively enriched by protein-affinity chromatography. Additionally, both receptors specifically eluted from immobilized VtgAa/b using buffer containing suramin, which is known to disrupt interactions between lipoprotein ligands and their receptors (42), including Vtgs and Vtgr (43). Therefore, Lrp13 binds VtgAa/b and is dissociated from it, similar to Lr8−.

    Recent investigations propose several mechanisms to support the truth of these observations. Specifically, conformation of ApoE contained on very low–density lipoprotein (VLDL) in hypertriglyceridemic states is different than that of VLDL in normotriglyceridemic conditions and seems to have greater affinity to the LDL receptor.25,26 Additionally, in normotriglyceridemic individuals there is a shorter resident time of VLDL, which results in VLDL particles acquiring less ApoE from HDL by transfer.27
