Differences in affinity of human apolipoprotein E (apoE) isoforms for the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) are thought to result in the differences in lipid metabolism observed in humans with different APOE genotypes. Mice expressing three common human apoE isoforms, E2, E3, and E4, in place of endogenous mouse apoE were used to investigate the relative roles of apoE isoforms in LDLR- and non-LDLR-mediated very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) clearance. While both VLDL particles isolated from mice expressing apoE3 and apoE4 bound to mouse LDLR with affinity and Bmax similar to VLDL containing mouse apoE, VLDL with apoE2 bound with only half the Bmax. In the absence of the LDLR, all lines of mice expressing human apoE showed dramatic increases in VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) compared to LDLR knockout mice expressing mouse apoE. The mechanism of the hyperlipidemia in mice expressing human apoE isoforms is due to impairment of non-LDL-receptor-mediated VLDL clearance. This results in the severe atherosclerosis observed in mice expressing human apoE but lacking the LDLR, even when fed normal chow diet. Our data show that defects in LDLR independent pathway(s) are a potential factor that trigger hyperlipoprotememia when the LDLR pathway is perturbed.. as in E2/2 mice. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
