Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that overproduction of intestinally derived apolipoprotein (apo) B48-containing lipoprotein particles may be an important contributor to both fasting and postprandial dyslipidemia in insulin-resistant states. Mechanisms regulating the assembly and secretion of apoB48-containing lipoproteins are not fully understood particularly in the diabetic/insulin-resistant intestine. In the present study, we have investigated the density profile of apoB48 lipoproteins assembled in primary hamster enterocytes. Both intracellular and secreted apoB48 particles were examined in intestinal enterocytes isolated from normal or insulin-resistant fructose-fed hamsters, as well as in enterocytes treated with exogenous oleic acid. Microsomal luminal contents and culture media were analyzed by discontinuous and sequential ultracentrifugation on sucrose and KBr gradients, respectively. ApoB48 was mostly secreted on VLDL-, LDL-, and denser HDL-sized particles in the fasting state. In pulse-chase labeling experiments, nascent apoB48-containing particles initially accumulated in the microsomal lumen as HDL-sized particles, with subsequent formation of apoB48-VLDL particles, with only a minute amount of chylomicrons observed. Treatment with 720 mu mol/L of oleic acid, increased microsomal apoB48 HDL synthesis, and induced a marked shift toward lighter more buoyant particles. A marked enhancement in assembly of apoB48-containing lipoproteins was also observed in the microsomal lumen of fructose-fed hamster enterocytes, suggesting facilitated assembly and secretion of dense intestinal lipoprotein particles in insulin-resistant states. Overall, these observations suggest that a major proportion of apoB48-containing lipoprotein particles is assembled and secreted as highly dense, HDL-sized particles. The production of these small, dense, and potentially atherogenic apoB48 particles can be stimulated by increased free fatty acid flux as well as in insulin-resistant diabetes.

Abstract
Insulin-resistant states are characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, predominantly because of overproduction of hepatic very low density lipoprotein particles. The additional contribution of intestinal lipoprotein overproduction to the dyslipidemia of insulin-resistant states has not been previously appreciated. Here, we have investigated intestinal lipoprotein production in a fructose-fed hamster model of insulin resistance previously documented to have whole body and hepatic insulin resistance, and hepatic very low density lipoprotein overproduction. Chronic fructose feeding for 3 weeks induced significant oversecretion of apolipoprotein B48 (apoB48)-containing lipoproteins in the fasting state and during steady state fat feeding, based on (a) in vivo Triton WR1339 studies of apoB48 production as well as (b) ex vivo pulse-chase labeling of intestinal enterocytes from fasted and fed hamsters. ApoB48 particle overproduction was accompanied by increased intracellular apoB48 stability, enhanced lipid synthesis, higher abundance of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein mass, and a significant shift toward the secretion of larger chylomicron-like particles. ApoB48 particle overproduction was not observed with short-term fructose feeding or in vitro incubation of enterocytes with fructose. Secretion of intestinal apoB48 and triglyceride was closely linked to intestinal enterocyte de novo lipogenesis, which was up-regulated in fructose-fed hamsters. Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis by cerulenin, a fatty acid synthase inhibitor, resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in intestinal apoB48 secretion. Overall, these findings further suggest that intestinal overproduction of apoB48 lipoproteins should also be considered as a major contributor to the fasting and postprandial dyslipidemia observed in response to chronic fructose feeding and development of an insulin-resistant state.

Abstract
Cellular cholesterol homoeostasis is regulated through proteolysis of the membrane-bound precursor sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein (SREBP) that releases the mature transcription factor form, which regulates gene expression. Our aim was to identify the nature and intracellular site of the putative sterol-regulatory pool which regulates SREBP proteolysis in hamster liver. Cholesterol metabolism was modulated by feeding hamsters control chow, or a cholesterol-enriched diet, or by treatment with simvastatin or with the oral acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase inhibitor C1-1011 plus cholesterol. The effects of the different treatments on SREBP activation were confirmed by determination of the mRNAs for the low-density lipoprotein receptor and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and by measurement of HMG-CoA reductase activity. The endoplasmic reticulum was isolated from livers and separated into subfractions by centrifugation in self-generating iodixanol gradients. Immunodetectable SREBP-2 accumulated in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of cholesterol-fed animals. Cholesterol ester levels of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum membrane (but not the cholesterol levels) increased after cholesterol feeding and fell after treatment with simvastatin or C1-1011. The results suggest that an increased cellular cholesterol load causes accumulation of SREBP-2 in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and, therefore, that membrane cholesterol ester may be one signal allowing exit of the SREBP-2/SREBP-cleavage-regulating protein complex to the Golgi.

Abstract
The effect of different conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers (trans-10,cis-12 (t10,c12)-CLA and cis-9,trans-11 (c9,t11)-CLA), compared with oleic acid (OA) and linoleic acid (LA), on hepatic lipid synthesis and secretion were investigated in Hep G2 cells. The cells were incubated in a medium containing 1 mmol/l fatty acid-bovine serum albumin (BSA) complex for 5 h, with BSA alone as control. [(3)H]Glycerol and [(14)C]acetate were used to monitor lipid synthesis and secretion. The results show that cellular uptake rates of these fatty acids were similar. Incubation with OA, t10,c12-CLA, c9,t11-CLA and LA resulted in 6-, 4-, 2- and 1.8-fold increases in intracellular [(3)H]triglyceride ([(3)H]TG) compared with incubation with BSA alone. OA, LA and c9,t11-CLA increased [(3)H]TG secretion 3.6-, 2.5- and 1.2-fold above the control, whereas t10,c12-CLA markedly suppressed the secretion of [(3)H]TG. Hepatic secretion of TG mass increased 3.5-, 3.3-, 2.7- and 1.5-fold in the cells incubated with OA, LA, c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA, respectively. Since the secreted TG is mainly contained in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), the decreased ([(3)H])TG secretion by t10,c12-CLA reflects a diminished secretion of VLDL. With respect to cholesterol synthesis OA was more effective in stimulating the incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into cellular total cholesterol followed in descending order by LA, c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA. In conclusion, the biological properties of 18-carbon fatty acids are clearly influenced by both the number and (geometric) positions of their double bonds. Furthermore t10,c12-CLA is more effective than c9,t11-CLA on suppressing hepatic TG secretion in vitro.

Abstract
Atorvastatin is a new HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that strongly lowers plasma cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels in humans and animals. Since previous data indicated that atorvastatin has prolonged inhibition of hepatic cholesterol synthesis, we tested whether this longer duration of inhibitory effect on cholesterol synthesis decreased hepatic lipoprotein secretion in vitro. We used the HepG2 hepatoma cell line to: (1) determine the time required until levels of secreted apo B-100 and TG declined significantly, (2) examine the relation to the mass of cellular cholesteryl ester (CE) and (3) test microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity which leads to decreased apo B-100 production. Although atorvastatin significantly inhibited cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells regardless of treatment duration (1, 14 or 24 h), it did not inhibit TG synthesis. Apo B-100 and TG secretion were unchanged after 1-h atorvastatin treatment, but declined significantly after 24-h treatment. Atorvastatin treatment also reduced cellular CE mass, exhibiting both time- and dose-dependency. Mevalonolactone, a product of HMG-CoA reductase, attenuated the inhibitory effects of atorvastatin. Atorvastatin strongly reduced mRNA levels of MTP, whereas it did not inhibit MTP activity as measured by TG transfer assay between liposomes. Simvastatin also induced treatment- and time-dependent reductions in apo B-100, whereas the MTP inhibitor BMS-201038 exhibited no time dependency, instead inhibiting this variable even on 1-h treatment. These results indicate that reduced apo B-100 secretion caused by atorvastatin is a secondary result owing to decreased lipid availability, and that atorvastatin's efficacy depends on the duration of cholesterol synthesis inhibition in the liver.

Abstract
Our understanding of the factors that regulate the secretion of apoB100 lipoproteins remains incomplete with considerable debate as to the role, if any, for cholesterol ester in this process. This study examines this issue in primary cultures of hamster hepatocytes, a species in which both cholesterol and apoB100 metabolism are very similar to man. Addition of oleate to medium increased the mass of triglyceride and cholesterol ester within the hepatocyte and also increased the secretion of triglycerides, cholesterol ester, and apoB100 into the medium. Next, the responses of hamster hepatocytes to addition of either an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (lovastatin) or an acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase inhibitor (58-035) to the medium, with or without added oleate, were determined. Effects of either agent were only evident in the oleate-supplemented medium in which cholesterol ester mass had been increased above basal. If oleate was not added to the medium, neither agent reduced apoB100 secretion; equally important, over the 24-hour incubation, neither agent, at the concentration used, produced any detectable change in intracellular cholesterol ester mass. However, in contrast to the estimates of mass, which were unchanged, under the same conditions radioisotopic estimates of cholesterol ester synthesis were markedly reduced. Any conclusion as to the relation of cholesterol ester mass to apoB100 secretion would therefore depend on which of the 2 methods was used. Overall, the data indicate a close correlation between the mass of cholesterol ester within the hepatocyte and apoB100 secretion from it and they go far to explain previous apparently contradictory data as to this relation. More importantly, though, taken with other available data, they indicate that the primary response of the liver to increased delivery of lipid is increased secretion rather than decreased uptake. These results point, therefore, to a hierarchy of hepatic responses to increased flux of fatty acids and increased synthesis of cholesterol that in turn suggests a more dynamic model of cholesterol homeostasis in the liver than has been appreciated in the past.

Abstract
Hamster hepatocytes, like human hepatocytes, secrete triacylglycerol (TAG) as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in association with apolipoprotein (apo) B100, whereas in the rat, TAG is secreted predominantly in association with apoB48. Nevertheless, in hepatocytes from both species, a minimum of between 60% and 70% [69. 1+/-1.4% (hamster), 60.6+/-2.5% (rat)] of the VLDL TAG was secreted following lipolysis and re-esterification of intracellular TAG. The fractional rates of hepatocellular TAG turnover (lipolysis and re-esterification) were similar in both species [1.83+/-0.28 pools/24 h (hamster), 1.39+/-0.23 pools/24 h (rat)]. Comparison of the relative changes in the 3H and 14C specific radioactivities of the VLDL and cellular TAG, pre-labelled with [3H]glycerol and [4C]oleate, suggested that fatty acids released by lipolysis either were recruited directly into a VLDL assembly pool or were recycled to the cellular pool following re-esterification. Recycling in the hamster was somewhat greater than in the rat (66.1+/-5.7% versus 53. 7+/-4.8% of TAG lipolysed respectively). Similarly, a larger proportion of newly synthesized TAG was retained within the cell, rather than secreted as VLDL, in the hamster compared with the rat (37.9+/-2.8% versus 20+/-3.8%, P<0.01). These factors may have contributed to the somewhat lower rate of VLDL TAG secretion in the hamster hepatocytes compared with those from the rat (43.3+/-4.2 versus 96.4+/-3.4 microg/24 h per mg of cell protein). Rat hepatocytes were more sensitive to inhibition of VLDL secretion by insulin than were those from hamster. In neither case did insulin affect total or fractional TAG turnover. The results suggest that assembly of both apoB100 VLDL and apoB48 VLDL is associated with efficient intracellular TAG lipolysis.

Abstract
This study examines the patterns of response of primary cultures of hamster hepatocytes to increased delivery of glucose or oleate. Increased glucose in the medium produced: (1) increased triglyceride in the cells and the medium; (2) no change in cholesterol ester in the cells or the medium; (3) no change in apo B100 secreted into the medium; (4) more apo B100 particles within the VLDL range with an increase in the VLDL triglyceride to apo B100 ratio. By contrast, increased oleate in the medium resulted in: (1) increased triglyceride in the cells and the medium; (2) increased cholesterol ester in the cells and the medium; and (3) increased apo B100 secreted into the medium. Important differences in the intracellular metabolism of triglyceride and cholesterol ester were also documented. Under all circumstances, there was substantially more radiolabelled triglyceride (overall eight times more) in the cell than in the medium, indicating that up to 90% of the newly synthesized triglyceride enters the cellular pool rather than being secreted with apo B100. By contrast, almost half of the newly synthesized cholesterol ester molecules were secreted with apo B100, pointing to an equal probability of entering the cell storage pool as opposed to being secreted. The data establish therefore two patterns of response of the liver to increased triglyceride synthesis depending on whether the substrate drive is glucose or oleate.

Abstract
The effects of two cell-permeable cyclic AMP analogues, 8-chloro cyclic AMP (8-Cl cAMP) and 8-(4-chlorophenylthio) cyclic AMP (8-CPT cAMP), on cholesterol esterification, cholesteryl ester hydrolysis and bile acid synthesis were compared in cultured rat and hamster hepatocytes. Cholesterol esterification, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]oleate into cholesteryl ester, was increased by 58-88% by the analogues in rat hepatocytes and by 33-43% in hamster cells. The response in rat hepatocytes, however, was observed after a relatively short incubation time (28% increase after 1 hr), whereas that in hamster cells required a longer period (36% after 12 hr) to become apparent. The activity of the cytosolic neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase in rat hepatocytes was also stimulated by both cyclic AMP analogues (31-37%, but the microsomal activity was unaffected. In hamster hepatocytes, however, microsomal cholesteryl ester hydrolase activity was increased (47-80%) in the presence of 8-Cl cAMP or 8-CPT cAMP. Bile acid synthesis was increased by 8-CPT cyclic AMP in rat cells (approximately 25%) but was unchanged by both analogues in hamster hepatocytes. These results indicate significant differences in the way in which cholesterol metabolism responds to cyclic AMP in cultured rat and hamster hepatocytes.
