| abstractText | Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) is a minor HDL-associated protein. Because many minor HDL-associated proteins exchange between different lipoprotein classes during the postprandial state and are also involved in triglyceride (TG) metabolism, we hypothesized that GPI-PLD may play a role in the metabolism of TG-rich lipoproteins. To test this hypothesis, we examined the distribution of GPI-PLD among lipoprotein classes during a fat tolerance test in C57BL/6 and LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR(-/-)) mice fed either a chow or high-fructose diet. In the fasting state in wild-type mice fed a chow diet, GPI-PLD was only present in HDL, whereas in LDLR(-/-) mice GPI-PLD was present in HDL and intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL)/LDL. During the fat tolerance test, there was no change in total serum GPI-PLD levels in either model; however, a significant amount of GPI-PLD appeared in both VLDL (0.5-1% of total GPI-PLD) and IDL/LDL (5-10% of total GPI-PLD) in both models. The high-fructose diet increased both fasting and postprandial TG and serum GPI-PLD levels in both strains as well as the amount of GPI-PLD in VLDL. To determine whether GPI-PLD plays a direct role in TG metabolism, we increased liver GPI-PLD expression in C57BL/6 mice by adenovirus-mediated gene transfer, which resulted in a sevenfold increase in serum GPI-PLD levels. This change was associated with an increase in fasting (30%) and postprandial TG (50%) and a twofold reduction in TG-rich lipoprotein catabolism compared with saline or control adenovirus-treated mice. These studies demonstrate that GPI-PLD affects serum TG levels by altering catabolism of TG-rich lipoproteins. |
