Atypical angiopoietin-like protein that regulates ANGPTL3
Abstract
Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) play major roles in the trafficking and metabolism of lipids. Inactivation of ANGPTL3 , a gene located in an intron of DOCK7 , results in very low levels of LDL-cholesterol (C), HDL-C and triglyceride (TAG). We identified another ANGPTL family member, ANGPTL8 , which is located in the corresponding intron of DOCK6 . A variant in this family member (rs2278426, R59W) was associated with lower plasma LDL-C and HDL-C levels in three populations. ANGPTL8 is expressed in liver and adipose tissue, and circulates in plasma of humans. Expression of ANGPTL8 was reduced by fasting and increased by refeeding in both mice and humans. To examine the functional relationship between the two ANGPTL family members, we expressed ANGPTL3 at physiological levels alone or together with ANGPTL8 in livers of mice. Plasma TAG level did not change in mice expressing ANGPTL3 alone, whereas coexpression with ANGPTL8 resulted in hypertriglyceridemia, despite a reduction in circulating ANGPTL3. ANGPTL8 coimmunoprecipitated with the N-terminal domain of ANGPTL3 in plasma of these mice. In cultured hepatocytes, ANGPTL8 expression increased the appearance of N-terminal ANGPTL3 in the medium, suggesting ANGPTL8 may activate ANGPTL3. Consistent with this scenario, expression of ANGPTL8 in Angptl3 −/− mice failed to promote hypertriglyceridemia. Thus, ANGPTL8 , a paralog of ANGPTL3 that arose through duplication of an ancestral DOCK gene, regulates postprandial TAG and fatty acid metabolism by controlling activation of its progenitor, and perhaps other ANGPTLs. Inhibition of ANGPTL8 provides a new therapeutic strategy for reducing plasma lipoprotein levels.

More recent studies have shown that ANGPTL3 forms a complex with ANGPTL8 and that this complex is most likely the physiologically relevant LPL inhibitor.
“As discussed below, more recent studies have shown that ANGPTL3 forms of complex with ANGPTL8 and that this complex is most likely the physiologically relevant LPL inhibitor (19, 54, 115, 137, 138).”
From Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism by ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8 (2021) · cites this paper as [19]
The Discussion reports that ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 physically interact and coimmunoprecipitate, supporting the complex portion of the claim. It does not establish that their complex is the physiologically relevant LPL inhibitor: the Discussion treats a functional complex as one possible mechanism, and the A B section reports no significant decrease in plasma lipolytic activity after ANGPTL8 overexpression. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredANGPTL8 is expressed primarily in the adipose tissue and liver of mice, and its expression is much higher in the fed state than in the fasted state.
“All three studies also found that ANGPTL8 is expressed primarily in the adipose tissue and liver of mice and that expression was much higher in the fed state than in the fasted state.”

“Angptl3 mice have increased LPL activity (8, 13, 14), and recombinant ANGPTL3 inhibits LPL in vitro (6, 13, 15, 16), leading several investigators to propose that ANGPTL3 raises plasma TAG levels by inhibiting LPL activity (13, 14).”

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.
