Abstract

Background: Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is a key regulator of triglyceride (TG) metabolism. We investigated effects of apoA-V on lipid metabolism in cardiomyocytes in this study.

Methods: We first examined whether apoA-V can be taken up by cardiomyocytes and whether low density lipoprotein receptor family members participate in this process. Next, triglyceride (TG) content and lipid droplet changes were detected at different concentrations of apoA-V in normal and lipid-accumulation cells in normal and obese animals. Finally, we tested the levels of fatty acids (FAs) taken up into cardiomyocytes and lipid secretion through [C]-oleic acid.

Results: Our results show that heart tissue has apoA-V protein, and apoA-V is taken up by cardiomyocytes. When HL-1 cells were transfected with low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-related protein 1(LRP1) siRNA, apoA-V intake decreased by 53% (P<0.05), while a 37% lipid accumulation in HL-1 cells remain unchanged. ApoA-V localized to the cytoplasm and was associated with lipid droplets in HL-1 cells. A 1200 and 1800 ng/mL apoA-V intervention decreased TG content by 28% and 45% in HL-1 cells, respectively and decreased TG content by 39% in mouse heart tissue (P<0.05). However, apoA-V had no effects on TG content in either normal HL-1 cells or mice. The levels of FAs taken up into cardiomyocytes decreased by 43% (P < 0.05), and the levels of TG and cholesterol ester secretion increased by 1.2-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: ApoA-V is a novel regulator of lipid metabolism in cardiomyocytes.
