Molecular characterization and developmental expression patterns of apolipoprotein A-I in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis Kaup). Gene Expr Patterns 2016; 21:7-18.

Abstract
The apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is an essential component of the high density lipoproteins (HDL). In this study, the cDNA and genomic sequences of this apolipoprotein were characterized for first time in Solea senegalensis. The predicted polypeptide revealed conserved structural features including ten repeats in the lipid-binding domain and some residues involved in cholesterol interaction and binding. The gene structure analysis identified four exons and three introns. Moreover, the synteny analysis revealed that apoA-I did not localize with other apolipoproteins indicating a divergent evolution with respect to the apoA-IV and apoE cluster. The phylogenetic analyses identified two distinct apoA-I paralogs in Ostariophysi (referred to as Ia and Ib) and only one (Ib) in Acanthopterygii. Whole-mount in situ hybridization located the apoA-I signal mainly in the yolk syncytial layer in lecitotrophic larval stages. Later at mouth opening, the mRNA signals were detected mainly in liver and intestine compatible with its role in the HDL formation. Moreover, a clear signal was detected in some regions of the brain, retina and neural cord suggesting a role in local regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. After metamorphosis, apoA-I was also detected in other tissues such as gills, head kidney and spleen suggesting a putative role in immunity. Expression analyses in larvae fed two diets with different triacylglycerol levels indicated that apoA-I mRNA levels were more associated to larval size and development than dietary lipid levels. Finally, qPCR analyses of immature and mature transcripts revealed distinct expression profiles suggesting a posttranscriptional regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Recent studies have failed to demonstrate a causal cardioprotective effect of HDL cholesterol levels, shifting focus to the functional aspects of HDL. Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is an HDL-associated protein involved in reverse cholesterol transport. This study sought to determine the genetic and nongenetic predictors of plasma PLTP activity (PLTPa), and separately, to determine whether PLTPa predicted carotid artery disease (CAAD). PLTPa was measured in 1,115 European ancestry participants from a case-control study of CAAD. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to elucidate the relationship between PLTPa and CAAD. Separately, a stepwise linear regression determined the nongenetic clinical and laboratory characteristics that best predicted PLTPa. A final stepwise regression considering both nongenetic and genetic variables identified the combination of covariates that explained maximal PLTPa variance. PLTPa was significantly associated with CAAD (7.90 × 10(-9)), with a 9% decrease in odds of CAAD per 1 unit increase in PLTPa (odds ratio = 0.91). Triglyceride levels (P = 0.0042), diabetes (P = 7.28 × 10(-5)), paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity (P = 0.019), statin use (P = 0.026), PLTP SNP rs4810479 (P = 6.38 × 10(-7)), and PCIF1 SNP rs181914932 (P = 0.041) were all significantly associated with PLTPa. PLTPa is significantly inversely correlated with CAAD. Furthermore, we report a novel association between PLTPa and PON1 activity, a known predictor of CAAD.

Abstract
Given the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the world, the search for genetic variations that impact risk factors associated with the development of this disease continues. Multiple genetic association studies demonstrate that procollagen C-proteinase enhancer 2 (PCPE2) modulates HDL levels. Recent studies revealed an unexpected role for this protein in the proteolytic processing of pro-apolipoprotein (apo) A-I by enhancing the cleavage of the hexapeptide extension present at the N-terminus of apoA-I. To investigate the role of the PCPE2 protein in an in vivo model, PCPE2-deficient (PCPE2 KO) mice were examined, and a detailed characterization of plasma lipid profiles, apoA-I, HDL speciation, and function was done. Results of isoelectric focusing (IEF) electrophoresis together with the identification of the amino terminal peptides DEPQSQWDK and WHVWQQDEPQSQWDVK, representing mature apoA-I and pro-apoA-I, respectively, in serum from PCPE2 KO mice confirmed that PCPE2 has a role in apoA-I maturation. Lipid profiles showed a marked increase in plasma apoA-I and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in PCPE2 KO mice compared with wild-type littermates, regardless of gender or diet. Changes in HDL particle size and electrophoretic mobility observed in PCPE2 KO mice suggest that the presence of pro-apoA-I impairs the maturation of HDL. ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux is defective in PCPE2 KO mice, suggesting that the functionality of HDL is altered.

Abstract
Given the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the world, the search for genetic variations controlling the levels of risk factors associated with the development of the disease continues. Multiple genetic association studies suggest the involvement of procollagen C-proteinase enhancer-2 (PCPE2) in modulating HDL-C levels. Therefore biochemical and mechanistic studies were undertaken to determine whether there might be a basis for a role of PCPE2 in HDL biogenesis. Our studies indicate that PCPE2 accelerates the proteolytic processing of pro-apolipoprotein (apo) AI by enhancing the cleavage of the hexapeptide extension present at the N terminus of apoAI. Surface Plasmon Resonance and immunoprecipitation studies indicate that PCPE2 interacts with BMP-1 and pro-apoAI to form a ternary pro-apoAI/BMP-1/PCPE2 complex. The most favorable interaction among these proteins begins with the association of BMP-1 to pro-apoAI followed by the binding of PCPE2 which further stabilizes the complex. PCPE2 resides, along with apoAI, on the HDL fraction of lipoproteins in human plasma supporting a relationship between HDL and PCPE2. Taken together, the findings from our studies identify a new player in the regulation of apoAI post-translational processing and open a new avenue to the study of mechanisms involved in the regulation of apoAI synthesis, HDL levels, and potentially, cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify proteomic biomarkers in amniotic fluid (AF) that can distinguish preeclampsia (PE) from chronic hypertension (CHTN) and normotensive controls (CTR). METHODS AF from women with PE, CHTN, and CTR were subjected to proteomic analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS Proteomic profiling of AF identified 2 biomarkers: peak X (17399.11 Da), which distinguished PE from CTR, and peak Y (28023.34 Da), which distinguished PE and CHTN from CTR. High performance liquid chromatography fractions containing the biomarkers were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and in-gel tryptic digestion. The biomarkers were matched to proapolipoprotein A-I (peak Y) and a functionally obscure peptide, SBBI42 (peak X). Western blot analysis confirmed that AF from PE and CHTN had higher proapolipoprotein A-I levels than CTR. CONCLUSION Proteomic analysis of AF can distinguish PE from CHTN and CTR. The discriminatory proteins were identified as proapolipoprotein A-I and SBBI42.

Abstract
Many researches have been trying to find the potential biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We hereby used the proteomics method to search for protein expression differences in the serum between AD patients and controls. We enrolled 59 AD patients and 74 age- and sex-matched controls in this study. Ten AD patients and 10 controls were selected for proteomic analysis. Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) was found to have a lower expression in the AD group by a proteomics two-dimensional gel electrophoresis study. We further measured the serum ApoA-I level which was significantly lower in the AD patients (112.29 +/- 21.33 mg/dl) in comparison to the controls (144.53 +/- 19.91 mg/dl; p < 0.0002). Lower serum ApoA-I levels might be a potential biomarker for AD.

Abstract
Arginine can be post-translationally incorporated from arginyl-tRNA into the N-terminus of soluble acceptor proteins in a reaction catalyzed by arginyl-tRNA protein transferase. In the present study, several soluble rat brain proteins that accepted arginine were identified after arginine incorporation by two dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. They were identified as: contrapsin-like protease inhibitor-3, alpha-1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein E, hemopexin, calreticulin and apolipoprotein A-I. All of these proteins shared a signal sequence for the translocation of proteins across endoplasmic reticulum membranes. After losing the signal peptide, these proteins expose amino acids described as compatible for post-translational arginylation. Although the enzymatic system involved in arginylation is confined mainly in cytosol and nucleus, all the substrates described herein enter to the exocytic pathway co-translationally. Therefore, we postulate that the substrates for arginylation could reach the cytosol by retro-translocation and be then arginylated.

Abstract
We have used site-directed mutagenesis to independently alter the Gln residues at positions -1 and -2 of the human apoAI propeptide to Arg residues. The normal and mutated genes were placed under the control of the mouse metallothionein 1 promoter in a bovine papilloma virus (BPV) vector which also carries a copy of the human metallothionein 1A gene. Following transfection of mouse C127 cells [corrected] with the vectors, cell clones resistant to CdCl2 were selected and analyzed for production of apoAI mRNAs and protein. The RNA blotting analysis showed that the steady-state apoAI mRNA levels of cell clones expressing either the normal or the mutant apoAI gene are 3-5-fold higher than that of the liver or HepG2 cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of radiolabeled apoAI showed that the apoAI-expressing clones secreted mainly the proapoAI form. Furthermore, both mutant proapoAI's differed by one positive charge from the normal apoAI. Secretion of apoAI into the culture medium follows apparent first-order kinetics and gives similar rate constants for the normal and mutant apoAI forms. Separation of secreted apoAI by density gradient ultracentrifugation in the presence of human plasma or HDL shows identical distribution of plasma and nascent (normal and mutant) apoAI. The findings indicate that in the cell system used the modification of either of the two glutamines of the apoAI prosegment does not affect the intracellular transport and secretion of apoAI, and its ability to associate with HDL.

Abstract
We have isolated and characterized the apoA-I gene from a lambda L47.1 genomic library constructed with DNA obtained from the lymphocytes of a Tangier disease patient. The DNA-derived protein sequence of Tangier apoA-I was found to be identical to normal apoA-I. Transfection of mouse C127 cells with a recombinant vector containing the Tangier apoA-I gene (pSV2-gpt apoA-I) allowed selection of stable clones resistant to aminopterin and mycophenolic acid. Analysis of these clones for apoA-I synthesis showed that the protein secreted by cells expressing the Tangier apoA-I gene was indistinguishable from the apoA-I secreted by HepG2 cells. These experiments establish that the Tangier apoA-I gene is structurally normal. It appears that the molecular basis of Tangier disease is not related to apoA-I structure or regulation of expression, but rather to other factors pertinent to apoA-I and high-density lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
The SHR/N-corpulent rat is a new genetically obese strain that is both hyperlipidemic and diabetic. The high density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction from 12-week-old obese males contained significantly greater amounts of protein (+83%), free (+72%) and esterified (+76%) cholesterol, phospholipid (+94%), and triglyceride (+78%). HDL from obese rats were also enriched in C apolipoproteins (apo C-III0 and apo C-III3) but had similar relative amounts of both apo A-I and apo E compared to HDL from their lean littermates. HDL protein turnover, measured with 125I-labeled HDL, showed that obese rats had a smaller fractional catabolic rate (FCR) than lean rats, but due to their much larger HDL pool size, they had a significantly higher rate of HDL protein catabolism (obese, 1.98 +/- 0.07 mg/whole animal/h v lean, 1.32 +/- 0.05 mg/whole animal/h). Therefore, under steady-state conditions, HDL protein production must also have been increased in the obese animals. To determine whether the increased catabolism of HDL protein was associated with increased catabolism of cholesteryl ester (CE), tissue uptake of HDL CE was measured using the nonhydrolyzable ether analogue [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether. After four hours 41.6 +/- 1.6% of the injected dose was cleared from the plasma of lean rats compared with 37.0 +/- 1.1% from the plasma of obese rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The steps involved in the initial assembly of apolipoproteins and lipids into supramolecular arrays (nascent lipoprotein particles) are largely unknown. Examination of the proteolytic processing and compartmentalization of the primary translation products of apolipoprotein mRNAs represents one approach to deciphering the molecular details of lipoprotein assembly. The structures of the primary translation products of seven mammalian apolipoprotein mRNAs has been determined in the past several years. The organization of apolipoprotein signal peptides is typical of eukaryotic prepeptides, although an unusual degree of sequence conservation is present among the signal segments of apo AI, AIV, and E. For those apolipoprotein sequences studied in detail, SRP-dependent cotranslational translocation and proteolytic processing appears to be highly efficient and results in sequestration of the processed protein within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However the mechanism by which these lipid-binding proteins avoid arrest during their translocation through the lipid bilayer of the ER membrane remains obscure. The two principal human HDL apolipoproteins undergo novel extracellular post-translational proteolytic processing, which results in removal of nonhomologous propeptides. The proteases responsible for proapo AI and AII processing appear to be different. The processing of these proapolipoproteins provides a potential series of steps for regulating the ordered assembly of HDL constituents.

Abstract
Rat apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and A-IV, isolated from both lymph chylomicrons and serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) were analyzed by isoelectric focusing. Lymph chylomicron apo A-I consisted for 81 +/- 2% of the pro form and for 19 +/- 2% of the mature form, while apo A-I isolated from serum HDL was present for 36 +/- 4% in the pro form and for 64 +/- 4% in the mature form. Apo A-IV also showed two major protein bands after analysis by isoelectric focusing. The most prominent component is the more basic protein that amounts to 80 +/- 2% in apo A-IV isolated from lymph chylomicrons and to 60 +/- 3% in apo A-IV isolated from serum HDL. Apo A-I (or apo A-IV), isolated from both sources (lymph chylomicrons or serum HDL), was iodinated and the radioactive apolipoproteins were incorporated into rat serum lipoproteins. The resulting labeled HDL was isolated from serum by molecular sieve chromatography on 6% agarose columns and injected intravenously into rats. No difference in the fractional turnover rate or the tissue uptake of the two labeled HDL preparations was observed, neither for apo A-I nor for apo A-IV. It is concluded that the physiological significance of the extracellular pro apo A-I conversion or the post-translational modification of apo A-IV is not related to the fractional turnover rate in serum or to the rate of catabolism in liver and kidneys.

Abstract
We compared apo A-I isolated from the lipoproteins of the Golgi apparatus of rat liver with apo A-I found in plasma lipoproteins. Golgi apo A-I consists of 3 main isoforms with a molecular weight of approximately 28000 and isoelectric points (pI) of 5.97, 5.88 and 5.76, respectively. Plasma apo A-I consists of 4 major and 3 minor isoforms with a molecular weight of 27000. The pI of the major isoforms (numbered 4-7) is 5.88, 5.80, 5.70 and 5.60, respectively. In order to investigate which of the plasma isoforms derived directly from Golgi apo A-I, [35S]methionine was injected into the portal vein and Golgi and plasma apo A-I were isolated shortly thereafter. While all Golgi isoforms were labelled only 3 isoforms of plasma apo A-I (namely isoforms 5, 6 and 7) were found to be labelled. The major plasma isoform (isoform 4 which accounts for more than 60% of apo A-I mass of plasma HDL) was found to be unlabelled. However, when 35S plasma lipoproteins newly secreted by the liver were incubated in vitro in the presence of heparinized plasma, labelled isoform 4 appeared suggesting that heparinized plasma contained some factor capable of converting isoforms 5-7 into isoform 4. This plasma factor appears to be a protease as the in vitro formation of isoform 4 is prevented by protease inhibitors.
