Role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the binding and uptake of apolipoprotein E-enriched remnant lipoproteins by cultured cells
Abstract
Addition of apolipoprotein (apo) E to rabbit beta-very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) has been shown to result in a marked enhancement of their binding and uptake by various cell types. Apolipoprotein E binds to lipoprotein receptors and proteoglycans. To distinguish between apoE binding to these sites, cells were treated with heparinase. Heparinase treatment of receptor-negative familial hypercholesterolemic (FH) fibroblasts and human hepatoma cells (HepG2) released 30-40% of newly synthesized cell surface 35S-labeled proteoglycans and decreased the binding of beta-VLDL+apoE to FH and normal fibroblasts and HepG2 cells by more than 80%. Furthermore, heparinase treatment significantly decreased the uptake of fluorescently labeled beta-VLDL+apoE by HepG2 cells and decreased cholesteryl ester synthesis in FH fibroblasts by 75%. Likewise, canine chylomicron remnants enriched in apoE demonstrated enhanced binding that was 80% inhibited by heparinase treatment of HepG2 cells. Heparinase treatment did not affect beta-VLDL (without added apoE) or low density lipoprotein (LDL) binding to these cells or the binding activity of beta-VLDL+apoE to the LDL receptor-related protein (LRP) or to the LDL receptor on ligand blots. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) mutant cells lacking the synthesis of either heparan sulfate (pgsD-677) or all proteoglycans (pgsA-745) did not display any enhanced binding of the beta-VLDL+apoE. By comparison, wild-type CHO cells demonstrated enhanced binding of b…

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.
