Astrocytes synthesize apolipoprotein E and metabolize apolipoprotein E-containing lipoproteins
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that astrocytes synthesize and secrete apolipoprotein E in situ. In the present work, primary cultures of rat brain astrocytes were used to study apolipoprotein E synthesis, secretion, and metabolism in vitro. The astrocytes in culture contained immunoreactive apolipoprotein E in the area of the Golgi apparatus. Incubation of the astrocytes with [35S]methionine resulted in the secretion of labeled immunoprecipitable apolipoprotein E, which constituted 1-3% of the total secreted proteins. The apolipoprotein E secreted in culture and the apolipoprotein E in rat brain extracts differed from serum apolipoprotein E in two respects: both had a slightly higher apparent molecular weight (approx. 36,000) and more acidic isoforms than serum apolipoprotein E. Sialylation of the newly secreted apolipoprotein accounted for the difference in both the apparent molecular weight and isoelectric focusing pattern of newly secreted apolipoprotein E and plasma apolipoprotein E. The astrocytes possessed apolipoprotein B,E(LDL) receptors capable of binding and internalizing apolipoprotein E-containing lipoproteins. The uptake of lipoproteins by the cells led to a reduction in the number of cell surface receptors and to the intracellular accumulation of cholesteryl esters. Since apolipoprotein E is present within the brain, and since brain cells can express apolipoprotein B,E(LDL) receptors, apolipoprotein E-containing lipoproteins may function to redistribute lipid and regulate cholesterol homeostasis within the brain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
