Abstract Apolipoprotein A-V (apoA-V), a liver-synthesized apolipoprotein discovered in
2001, strongly modulates fasting plasma triglycerides (TG). Little is reported
on the effect of apoA-V on postprandial plasma TG, an independent predictor for
atherosclerosis. Overexpressing apoA-V in mice suppresses postprandial TG, but
mechanisms focus on increased lipolysis or clearance of remnant particles.
Unknown is whether apoA-V suppresses the absorption of dietary lipids by the
gut. This study examines how apoA-V deficiency affects the steady-state
absorption and lymphatic transport of dietary lipids in chow-fed mice. Using
apoA-V knockout (KO, n = 8) and wild-type (WT, n = 8) lymph fistula mice, we
analyzed the uptake and lymphatic transport of lipids during a continuous
infusion of an emulsion containing [(3)H]triolein and [(14)C]cholesterol. ApoA-V
KO mice showed a twofold increase in (3)H (P < 0.001) and a threefold increase
in (14)C (P < 0.001) transport into the lymph compared with WT. The increased
lymphatic transport was accompanied by a twofold reduction (P < 0.05) in mucosal
(3)H, suggesting that apoA-V KO mice more rapidly secreted [(3)H]TG out of the
mucosa into the lymph. ApoA-V KO mice also produced chylomicrons more rapidly
than WT (P < 0.05), as measured by the transit time of [(14)C]oleic acid from
the intestinal lumen to lymph. Interestingly, apoA-V KO mice produced a steadily
increasing number of chylomicron particles over time, as measured by lymphatic
apoB output. The data suggest that apoA-V suppresses the production of
chylomicrons, playing a previously unknown role in lipid metabolism that may
contribute to the postprandial hypertriglyceridemia associated with apoA-V
deficiency.
