We have recently shown that the predominant hypertriglyceridemia in human apolipoprotein C1 (APOC1) transgenic mice is mainly explained by apoCI-mediated inhibition of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-dependent triglyceride (TG)-hydrolysis pathway. Since the very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLr) and apoCIII are potent modifiers of LPL activity, our current aim was to study whether the lipolysis-inhibiting action of apoCI would be dependent on the presence of the VLDLr and apoCIII in vivo. Hereto, we employed liver-specific expression of human apoCI by using a novel recombinant adenovirus (AdAPOC1). In wild-type mice, moderate apoCI expression leading to plasma human apoCI levels of 12-33 mg/dl dose-dependently and specifically increased plasma TG (up to 6.6-fold, P < 0.001), yielding the same hypertriglyceridemic phenotype as observed in human APOC1 transgenic mice. AdAPOC1 still increased plasma TG in vldlr(-/-) mice (4.1-fold, P < 0.001) and in apoc3(-/-) mice (6.8-fold, P < 0.001) that were also deficient for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) and LDLr-related protein (LRP) or apoE, respectively. Thus, irrespective of receptor-mediated remnant clearance by the liver, liver-specific expression of human apoCI causes hypertriglyceridemia in the absence of the VLDLr and apoCIII. We conclude that apoCI is a powerful and direct inhibitor of LPL activity independent of the VLDLr and apoCIII.
