Human plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism. In this study, we investigated the effects of lipoproteins on the secretion of PLTP in cultured BeWo choriocarcinoma cells. Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) decreased PLTP secretion in a dose- and time-dependent manner, whereas very low density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) had little effect. LDL suppression of PLTP secretion was not altered by the inhibition of both LDL receptor and LDL receptor-related protein with receptor-associated protein. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitor, U0126, could abolish the LDL-mediated inhibition of PLTP secretion. Furthermore, LDL, but not HDL, could stimulate the expression of MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in BeWo cells that resulted in the inactivation of p44/p42 extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2, the family members of MAPKs. These results support the conclusion that LDL-mediated suppression of PLTP secretion in BeWo cells is through a LDL receptor-independent MAPK signaling pathway.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.
