Transgenic mice expressing human
cholesteryl ester transfer protein (HuCETPTg mice) were crossed with
apolipoprotein CI-knocked out (apoCI-KO) mice. Although total
cholesterol levels tended to be reduced as the result of CETP
expression in HuCETPTg heterozygotes compared with C57BL6 control mice
( 13%, not significant), a more pronounced decrease ( 28%,
p < 0.05) was observed when human CETP was expressed
in an apoCI-deficient background (HuCETPTg/apoCI-KO mice). Gel
permeation chromatography analysis revealed a significant, 6.1-fold
rise (p < 0.05) in the cholesteryl ester content of
very low density lipoproteins in HuCETPTg/apoCI-KO mice compared with control mice, whereas the 2.7-fold increase in HuCETPTg
mice did not reach the significance level in these experiments.
Approximately 50% decreases in the cholesteryl ester content and
cholesteryl ester to triglyceride ratio of high density lipoproteins
(HDL) were observed in HuCETPTg/apoCI-KO mice compared with controls (p < 0.05 in both cases), with intermediate 20%
changes in HuCETPTg mice. The cholesteryl ester depletion of HDL was
accompanied with a significant reduction in their mean apparent
diameter (8.68 ± 0.04 nm in HuCETPTg/apoCI-KO mice
versus 8.83 ± 0.02 nm in control mice;
p < 0.05), again with intermediate values in HuCETPTg
mice (8.77 ± 0.04 nm). In vitro purified apoCI was
able to inhibit cholesteryl ester exchange when added to either total
plasma or reconstituted HDL-free mixtures, and coincidently, the
specific activity of CETP was significantly increased in the
apoCI-deficient state (173 ± 75 pmol/µg/h in HuCETPTg/apoCI-KO
mice versus 72 ± 19 pmol/µg/h in HuCETPTg,
p < 0.05). Finally, HDL from apoCI-KO mice were shown
to interact more readily with purified CETP than control HDL that
differ only by their apoCI content. Overall, the present observations
provide direct support for a potent specific inhibition of CETP by
plasma apoCI in vivo.
