Abstract
Plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) interacts with HDL particles and facilitates the transfer of phospholipids from triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins to HDL. Overexpressing human PLTP in mice increases the susceptibility to atherosclerosis. In human plasma, high-active and low-active forms of PLTP exist. To elucidate the contribution of phospholipid transfer activity to changes in lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis, we developed mice expressing mutant PLTP, still able to associate with HDL but lacking phospholipid transfer activity. In mice heterozygous for the LDL receptor, effects of the mutant and normal human PLTP transgene (mutPLTP tg and PLTP tg, respectively) were compared. In PLTP tg mice, plasma PLTP activity was increased 2.9-fold, resulting in markedly reduced HDL lipid levels. In contrast, in mutPLTP tg mice, lipid levels were not different from controls. Furthermore, hepatic VLDL-TG secretion was stimulated in PLTP tg mice, but not in mutPLTP tg mice. When mice were fed a cholesterol-enriched diet, atherosclerotic lesion size in PLTP tg mice was increased more than 2-fold compared with control mice, whereas in mutPLTP tg mice, there was no change. Our findings demonstrate that PLTP transfer activity...Continue Reading
