We examined the effect of Mdm2 on regulation of the ApoCIII promoter and its cross-talk with p53 and nuclear receptor SHP. Overexpression of Mdm2 markedly enhanced ApoCIII promoter activity by HNF4α. A direct association of Mdm2 protein with the HNF4α protein was observed by co-immunoprecipitation. Ectopic expression of p53 decreased HNF4α activation of the ApoCIII promoter and antagonized the effect of Mdm2. Co-expression of SHP further strengthened p53 inhibition and abolished Mdm2 activation of the ApoCIII promoter. Mdm2 inhibited p53-mediated enrichment of HNF4α to the ApoCIII promoter while simultaneously reducing p53 binding and increasing recruitment of SHP to the ApoCIII promoter. The results from this study implicate a potentially important function of Mdm2 in regulation of lipoprotein metabolism.
我们研究了 Mdm2 对 ApoCIII 启动子的调节作用及其与 p53 和核受体 SHP 的相互作用。Mdm2 的过表达显著增强了 HNF4α 对 ApoCIII 启动子的活性。通过共免疫沉淀观察到 Mdm2 蛋白与 HNF4α 蛋白的直接结合。p53 的异位表达降低了 HNF4α 对 ApoCIII 启动子的激活作用,并拮抗了 Mdm2 的作用。SHP 的共表达进一步增强了 p53 抑制作用,并消除了 Mdm2 对 ApoCIII 启动子的激活作用。Mdm2 抑制了 p53 介导的 HNF4α 向 ApoCIII 启动子的富集,同时减少了 p53 结合并增加了 SHP 募集到 ApoCIII 启动子。这项研究的结果表明,Mdm2 在调节脂蛋白代谢方面具有潜在的重要功能。
