  • Characterization of nascent lipoproteins produced by perfused rat liver: evidence of hepatic secretion and post-secretory modification of nascent lipoproteins. Abstract Text:

    We characterized the lipoproteins produced by perfused rat liver in recirculating and non-recirculating systems. The apolipoprotein (apo) B of the perfusate very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were labeled with a radioactive precursor amino acid in both systems, suggesting that newly synthesized apo B was secreted in association with VLDL and LDL. When the lipoproteins obtained from the non-recirculating perfusate were injected into rats in vivo, the half life of the VLDL was 13 min and most of it was converted to LDL, while that of the LDL was 5.2 h, indicating that the perfusate LDL was different from the VLDL with respect to its metabolic fate. These observations suggest that both VLDL and LDL are produced as independent primary products in the liver, although the majority of LDL is derived from VLDL in vivo. The nascent lipoproteins in the non-recirculating perfusate were richer in apo E than those in the recirculating perfusate, and a part of the apo E disappeared when the VLDL was added to the recirculating perfusate. The particle sizes of the VLDL and LDL were examined by electron microscopy, which revealed that those in the non-recirculating perfusate were more homogeneous and smaller than the plasma counterparts, while those in the recirculating perfusate were more heterogeneous and their mean diameter was closer to that of the plasma lipoproteins, than in the case of non-recirculating perfusate. These observations suggest that apo E secreted with the nascent lipoproteins may be picked up by the liver just after secretion, causing the heterogeneity in size, as observed in the case of plasma lipoproteins.
