Microsomal triglyceride transfer
protein (MTP) transfers lipids to apolipoprotein B (apoB) within the
endoplasmic reticulum, a process that involves direct interactions
between apoB and the large subunit of MTP. Recent studies with
heterozygous MTP knockout mice have suggested that half-normal levels
of MTP in the liver reduce apoB secretion. We hypothesized that reduced
apoB secretion in the setting of half-normal MTP levels might be caused
by a reduced MTP:apoB ratio in the endoplasmic reticulum, which would reduce the number of apoB-MTP interactions. If this hypothesis were
true, half-normal levels of MTP might have little impact on lipoprotein
secretion in the setting of half-normal levels of apoB synthesis (since
the ratio of MTP to apoB would not be abnormally low) and might cause
an exaggerated reduction in lipoprotein secretion in the setting of
apoB overexpression (since the MTP:apoB ratio would be even lower). To
test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of heterozygous MTP
deficiency on apoB metabolism in the setting of normal levels of apoB
synthesis, half-normal levels of apoB synthesis (heterozygous
Apob deficiency), and increased levels of apoB synthesis
(transgenic overexpression of human apoB). Contrary to our
expectations, half-normal levels of MTP reduced the plasma apoB100
levels to the same extent (~25-35%) at each level of apoB
synthesis. In addition, apoB secretion from primary hepatocytes was
reduced to a comparable extent at each level of apoB synthesis. Thus,
these results indicate that the concentration of MTP within the
endoplasmic reticulum rather than the MTP:apoB ratio is the critical
determinant of lipoprotein secretion. Finally, we found that
heterozygosity for an apoB knockout mutation lowered plasma apoB100
levels more than heterozygosity for an MTP knockout allele. Consistent
with that result, hepatic triglyceride accumulation was greater in
heterozygous apoB knockout mice than in heterozygous MTP knockout mice.
