ApoE-deficient mice on low fat diet
show hepatic triglyceride accumulation and a reduced very low density
lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride production rate. To establish the role
of apoE in the regulation of hepatic VLDL production, the human APOE3
gene was introduced into apoE-deficient mice by cross-breeding with APOE3 transgenics (APOE3/apoe

mice) or by adenoviral
transduction. APOE3 was expressed in the liver and, to a lesser extent,
in brain, spleen, and lung of transgenic APOE3/apoe
/
mice similar to endogenous apoe. Plasma cholesterol levels
in APOE/apoe
/
mice (3.4 ± 0.5 mM)
were reduced when compared with apoe
/
mice (12.6 ± 1.4 mM) but still elevated when compared with wild type
control values (1.9 ± 0.1 mM). Hepatic triglyceride
accumulation in apoE-deficient mice was completely reversed by
introduction of the APOE3 transgene. The in vivo hepatic
VLDL-triglyceride production rate was reduced to 36% of control values
in apoE-deficient mice but normalized in APOE3/apoe
/
mice. Hepatic secretion of apoB was not affected in either of the
strains. Secretion of 3H-labeled triglycerides synthesized
from [3H]glycerol by cultured hepatocytes from
apoE-deficient mice was four times lower than by
APOE3/apoe
/
or control hepatocytes. The average size of
secreted VLDL particles produced by cultured apoE-deficient hepatocytes
was significantly reduced when compared with those of
APOE3/apoe
/
and wild type mice. Hepatic expression of
human APOE3 cDNA via adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in
apoE-deficient mice resulted in a reduction of plasma cholesterol
depending on plasma apoE3 levels. The in vivo
VLDL-triglyceride production rate in these mice was increased up to
500% compared with LacZ-injected controls and correlated with the
amount of apoE3 per particle. These findings indicate a regulatory role
of apoE in hepatic VLDL-triglyceride secretion, independent from its
role in lipoprotein clearance.
