Cell-surface Expression of an Amino-terminal Fragment of Apolipoprotein B Increases Lipoprotein Lipase Binding to Cells

(Received for publication, January 11, 1996, and in revised form, May 16, 1996)

Previous studies (Sivaram, P., Choi, S. Y., Curtiss, L. K., and Goldberg, I. J. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 9409-9412) from this laboratory showed that the NH₂-terminal region of apoB (NTAB) has binding domains for lipoprotein lipase (LPL). LPL binding to endothelial cells, we hypothesize, involves interaction both with heparan sulfate proteoglycans and with a protein that has homology to NTAB. To test whether cell-surface NTAB would increase the amount and affinity of LPL binding to cells, we produced stable Chinese hamster ovary cell lines that have NTAB anchored to the cell surface. A cDNA encoding the amino-terminal 17% of apoB (apoB17) was fused to a cDNA coding for the last 37 amino acids of decay-accelerating factor (DAF), which contains the signal for glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor attachment. The fused construct was sequence-verified and cloned into expression vector pCMV5. The pCMV5-apoB17-DAF plasmid was cotransfected with a neomycin resistance gene into wild-type (WT) cells and mutant heparan sulfate proteoglycan-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells (745 cells), and stable cell lines were established. Expression of apoB17 on the cell surface was confirmed by the release of apoB17 by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. LPL binding to WT and apoB17-DAF-transfected cells was determined. Using 0.8-6 µg of LPL, 1.3-2.2-fold more LPL associated with apoB17-DAF WT cells compared with WT cells; apoB17-DAF also increased LPL binding to 745 cells. After heparinase treatment, LPL binding to apoB17-DAF cells was still greater than to treated WT cells. This increased binding to apoB17-DAF cells was almost abolished by treatment of cells with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C or anti-apoB monoclonal antibody. LPL dissociated from WT cells with k₁ = 2.55 × 10² min¹, whereas LPL dissociated more slowly from apoB17-DAF-containing cells with k₁ = 1.08 × 10² min¹. Furthermore, almost 95% of the LPL on WT cells was dissociated by 1 M NaCl, while only 65% of the LPL dissociated from apoB17-DAF cells at the same high salt concentration. Similarly, in high salt, more LPL remained associated with apoB17-DAF cells than with nontransfected 745 cells. These data show that NTAB on cell surfaces can function as a LPL-binding protein. Moreover, they demonstrate that LPL association with cells can be increased by simultaneously binding to both proteoglycan and non-proteoglycan binding sites.
