Apolipoprotein A-V (apoA-V) is postulated to modulate intra-hepatic triglyceride (TG) trafficking. Stably transfected McA-RH7777 hepatocarcinoma cells expressing human apoA-V displayed enhanced neutral lipid staining while conditioned media from these cells had 40±8% less TG than cells transfected with a control vector. To obtain homogeneous cell lines expressing different amounts of apoA-V, a strategy of clonal selection was pursued. Immunoblot analysis of two distinct apoA-V stable cell lines yielded one that expresses low amounts of apoA-V and another that expresses higher amounts. Confocal fluorescence microscopy of control cells and cells expressing low levels of apoA-V had similar numbers of lipid droplets while cells expressing higher amounts of apoA-V had twice as many lipid droplets, on average. Thus, apoA-V expression promotes lipid droplet accumulation in these cells.
载脂蛋白 A-V(apoA-V)被认为可以调节肝内甘油三酯(TG)的转运。稳定转染人 apoA-V 的 McA-RH7777 肝癌细胞显示出增强的中性脂质染色,而来自这些细胞的条件培养基中的 TG 比转染对照载体的细胞少 40±8%。为了获得表达不同量 apoA-V 的同质细胞系,采用了克隆选择策略。对两种不同的 apoA-V 稳定细胞系进行免疫印迹分析,得到了一个表达低量 apoA-V 的细胞系和另一个表达高量 apoA-V 的细胞系。用共聚焦荧光显微镜观察,表达低量 apoA-V 的对照细胞和细胞与表达低量 apoA-V 的细胞具有相似数量的脂滴,而表达高量 apoA-V 的细胞的脂滴数量则平均增加了一倍。因此,apoA-V 的表达促进了这些细胞中脂滴的积累。
