采用含人C末端标记V5tag的ATPase-B1全长的腺病毒(Ad—ATPase—B1)感染肝细胞株HepG2及清道夫受体BI(SR-BI)敲除小鼠和野生型小鼠原代肝细胞,并观察肝细胞对荧光标记物DiI标记高密度脂蛋白(HDL;DiI—HDL)的摄取情况。Ad—ATPase-B1感染HepG2和原代肝细胞后,可显著上调ATPase.B1mRNA和蛋白水平,且野生型小鼠和SR-BI。原代肝细胞Dil-HDL摄取量均明显升高(P〈0.01)。小鼠肝细胞ATPase-B1可以作为HDL的替代受体,通过非SR-BI途径增加HDL摄取。这可能是一条HDL代谢的新途径.有望作为干预HDL代谢的潜在靶点。
Recombinant adenovirus (Ad) containing the full-length human ATP synthase β-chain ( ATPase- B1 ) tagged with V5 epitope at its C-terminus was constructed and infected to HepG2 cells and primary mouse hepatocytes of wild type and SR-BI knockout mouse. Human plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was prepared and labeled with fluorescent agent DiI ( 1, 1 '-dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3' 3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate ) , and incubated with cultured cells. Cellular uptake of DiI-HDL was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Over expression of mRNA and protein expression of Ad-ATPase-B1 were found in HepG2 cells and primary hepatocytes. The uptake of DiI-HDL was increased in freshly-isolated hepatocytes of both wild type and SR-BI knockout mouse ( P〈0.01 ). ATPase-B1 serves as the receptor for HDL endocytosis via non-SR-BI pathway. ATPase-β1 may represent a potential target for regulation and intervention of HDL metabolism.
