ApoA-IV is primarily synthesized by the small intestinal synthesis and attached to chylomicrons by enterocytes and secreted into intestinal lymph during fat absorption. In circulation, apoA-IV is associated with high density lipoproteins (HDL), chylomicron remnants but a large portion is lipoprotein free. Functions of circulating apoA-IV have been related to protection from cardiovascular disease due to its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, and because it can mediate reverse-cholesterol transport. This review, however, focuses primarily on several properties of apoA-IV that impact other metabolic functions related to food intake, obesity and diabetes. In addition to participating in triglyceride absorption, apoA-IV can act as an acute satiation factor through both peripheral and central routes of action. It also modulates glucose homeostasis through incretin-like effects on insulin D o w n lo secretion, and by moderating hepatic glucose production. While apoA-IV receptors remain to be conclusively identified, a d e d the latter modes of action suggest that this protein holds therapeutic promise for treating metabolic disease. fro m w w w .jlr.o KEYWORDS brg y g u chylomicron; intestinal lipid transport; lymph fistula mouse model; glucose tolerance; incretins; diabetes; obesity e s t, o n J a n u a ry 3 , 2 0 1 9 2 Introduction Apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) was discovered 40 years ago as a major protein component of chylomicrons in post-prandial lymph and plasma of both humans and rats (1-3). In plasma it is found on chylomicrons and on HDL but 40-50% circulates lipid free (1-3). The presence of apoA-IV in the blood is uniquely linked to the absorption and secretion of dietary lipid. It is synthesized by the intestine and secreted into mesenteric lymph on chylomicrons. During hydrolysis of the chylomicron triglycerides in the circulation, most of the apoA-IV dissociates from the chylomicrons. Approximately 25% transfers to plasma HDL and the rest is found in the lipoprotein-free fraction of plasma (4,5). The reason why apoA-IV detaches from chylomicrons during lipolysis is not fully known but is likely due to the shrinking surface area of the particles plus competition for the remaining lipophilic surface with other exchangeable apolipoproteins such as apoE and the apoC’s, as well as other changes in the environment of the chylomicron particle. ApoA-IV is also found in bile and cerebrospinal fluid (6). D o w n lo Over the years there has been an arduous search by several investigators to discover the physiological functions of a d e d this protein. Initial studies were focused on lipid absorption, lipoprotein metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases related fro m w w to hyperlipidemia. Studies of genetically modified mice as well as some clinical studies suggested that apoA-IV protects w .jlr.o against atherosclerosis (7-10). While a mechanism related to lipid absorption is possible, apoA-IV also promotes reverse rg b y g u cholesterol transport, and has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (10-16), which may be the relevant e s t, o n functions in those models (8-10). While these properties are potentially very important, they are not unique to apoA-IV J a n u a and have been very well-characterized in the related apolipoproteins apoA-I and apoE. The top half of Table 1 lists the ry 3 , 2 0 proposed cardiovascular-related functions of apoA-IV with a brief summary of the supporting data. These functions will 19 not be discussed in detail in this review but several references are included in Table 1 for the interested reader. We focus instead on properties more unique to apoA-IV among the apolipoproteins. These functions are listed in the bottom half of Table 1and are discussed in detail later. ApoA-IV has been shown to affect satiation and acute food consumption through interaction with other peripheral and central (nervous system) regulators. Recently our group has discovered that apoA-IV also contributes to glucose homeostasis through an incretin-like function (17), positioning this protein as a new and potentially very important therapeutic molecule for treatment of type II diabetes and metabolic disease. Which of these functions is (are) more important remains to be demonstrated, and will require continued investigation using animal models, especially genetically modified mice, as well as additional clinical studies designed to evaluate these newly discovered properties of apoA-IV. 3 In this review we summarize several aspects of our current knowledge about apoA-IV genetics, regulation, protein structure and function, and then individually discuss the various physiologic functions of apoA-IV by focusing on each of the pathways to which it may contribute ˗ lipid absorption and metabolism, food intake and weight regulation, and glucose metabolism. Throughout, we discuss questions that remain unanswered in each of these areas and approaches that are needed for productive future investigations. Finally, we present a model for apoA-IV function that represents our current understanding, and close with some perspectives on future directions with the potential for translational application of apoA-IV to cardio-metabolic diseases. ApoA-IV gene, protein structure, and genetic variants In humans, the APOA4 gene is located on chromosome 11q23 (chromosome 9 in mouse) as part of the gene cluster that also includes APOA1, APOC3, and APOA5 (18). It is located 6.6 kb downstream of APOC3 (which is D o w n lo oriented in the opposite direction) and 28 kb upstream of APOA5. It is comprised of 3 exons spread over 2.6 kb, which a d e d encode a 396 amino acid (376 after processing), 46kD protein. Similar to the related protein ApoA-I, apoA-IV consists of fro m w w 12 amphipathic helices that facilitate both lipid binding and aqueous interaction, resulting in a protein that binds to the w .jlr.o surface of lipid particles but is readily exchangeable, consistent with its role in metabolism of both chylomicrons and rg b y g u HDL as well as its abundance lipid-free in circulation. Key features of the structure and function of these helices and e s t, o n others aspects of apoA-IV were determined by crystallography, crosslinking, and mutational analyses of lipid binding J a n u a properties (19,20). Analysis of point mutations and deletions revealed that the lipid binding properties are conferred ry 3 , 2 0 primarily by the central helices. Regions near the N- and C- termini, on the other hand, raise the activation energy for 19 lipid binding apparently through direct interaction of the two ends that stabilizes the lipid-free form (20). Crystallography data revealed that lipid-free apoA-IV exists primarily as a homo-dimer with the two molecules aligned in anti-parallel fashion. The 12 helices are arranged in 4 helical bundles – a long central bundle of 5 helix segments flanked by a short helix on one end and 3 helix segments arranged into 2 bundles at the other end. The 4 bundles of each strand interact to shield the hydrophobic regions of the other strand. The current model is that lipid binds to this structure initially in a central hydrophobic pocket, and as more lipid is incorporated the hydrophobic regions of the end and central bundles relax away from each other to accommodate, eventually forming a disc-like and ultimately spherical particle (19). The APOA1/APOC3/APOA4/APOA5 gene cluster is important for lipoprotein metabolism and the maintenance of plasma lipid levels. The entire gene cluster has been a focus of clinical interest since a genetic study showed that deletion 4 of a portion of this locus greatly increased risk of cardiovascular events (7). A number of subsequent genetic studies have confirmed the importance of this locus for susceptibility to heart disease, especially dyslipidemias that involve high serum triglyceride and/or low HDL. A role for apoA-IV in protecting against heart disease was first implicated by transgenic mouse studies which showed that animals with elevated intestinal expression of the protein were protected from diet- induced atherosclerosis (8-10). Several isoforms of apoA-IV have been known since shortly after the identification of the protein in human plasma over 30 years ago (21). While at least 5 variants caused by point mutations or small insertions have been identified in various populations (21-23), there are 3 polymorphic sites in the APOA4 gene that are more common and have been of clinical interest: N147S, T347S, and Q360H. The first of these is located in the long central helix bundle B while the other 2 are located in helix bundle D nearer the C-terminus (19). Interestingly, the Q360H mutation introduces a charge near a region that is known to affect lipid binding. While clinical correlates for APOA1, APOC3, and APOA5 mutations have been clearly documented, the clinical D o w n lo effects of these APOA4 mutations on cardiovascular risk have been more difficult to establish. This may result, in part, a d e d from linkage disequilibrium between APOA5 or APOC3 mutants and APOA4 SNPs of interest, such that apparent APOA4 fro m w w effects are actually due to co-segregating risk alleles of one or more of the other genes in the cluster (24). However, the w .jlr.o controversy could also result from sampling parameters used in the studies. Fasting serum is typically collected for lipid rg b y g u and lipoprotein measurements in clinical studies. Since apoA-IV function is related to chylomicron secretion and e s t, o n metabolism and response to dietary lipid load, which are not measured by fasting lipids, potential effects of mutant J a n u a APOA4 alleles may have been missed in some studies. Gomez et al. (25) found that the T347S difference modified the ry 3 , 2 0 effect of APOA1 mutations on LDL particle size in a manner that was diet-dependent. An earlier study by Hockey et al. 19 (26) suggested that the 360H allele, which was predicted to have greater lipid affinity, delays postprandial chylomicron clearance compared to 360Q, with some suggestion that the 347S allele may have the opposite effect. Other studies have also suggested linkage between the 347 and 360 polymorphisms and response to diet (27,28). Interestingly, a report by Liu et al. (29) suggests that the N147S polymorphism may affect the response of individuals to fibrate treatment, further indicating the potential clinical importance of APOA4 genotype screening with respect to metabolic disease risk and for potential therapeutic indications. While these studies suggest a role for apoA-IV in lipid metabolic diseases, only a few clinical studies have investigated its linkage to diseases of glucose metabolism and energy utilization (30-32). Further studies of this type may now be warranted by the newer findings showing a role for apoA-IV in glucose metabolism as will be discussed later. 5 Gene regulation Each gene in the APOA1/APOC3/APOA4/APOA5 cluster displays distinct tissue-specific expression patterns. APOA1 is expressed in both liver and intestine; APOC3 is primarily expressed in liver and to a lesser degree in the intestine, and APOA5 appears to be exclusive to the liver (33). APOA4 is expressed primarily in the small intestine with minor amounts made in the liver (34,35). As will be discussed later, the neurons in the hypothalamus and arcuate nucleus are also capable of synthesizing apoA-IV and it has recently been reported in dendritic cells of the immune system although its function in the latter remains to be investigated (36). The jejunum is the major site of apoA-IV synthesis, but it is also produced in the duodenum and ileum (37). ApoA-IV expression can be regulated by a number of factors, including lipids, glucocorticoids, thyroid hormone, estrogen, insulin and metabolic state (35,38-42). This regulation is tissue specific and can also be species specific. For example, expression in the intestine is increased by estrogen in rats D o w n lo but decreased in mice (43). The effects of insulin and glucocorticoids on intestinal apoA-IV synthesis may be age- a d e d dependent and may differ among species. Some reports indicate that apoA-IV does not respond to these effectors (35,38- fro m w w 41), although jejunal explants from 2-d old piglets were found to respond with increased apoA-IV production (44). w .jlr.o Hepatic apoA-IV expression is low and is strain dependent in mice (42). Expression is influenced by metabolic rg b y g u state as well as the various hormones mentioned above (35,38,39,41). Whether or not this holds true for human liver e s t, o n expression is not known. Hepatic apoA-IV expression was thought to be rodent specific but its presence in human liver J a n u a and several human hepatocyte cell lines has been documented (45,46), and most DNA response elements are similar ry 3 , 2 0 between the species. Some uncertainty arises because hepatocyte cell lines do not adequately reflect in vivo conditions. 19 Conversely human liver samples from subjects in various metabolic states have not been tested, and current literature indicates that apoA-IV expression is very responsive to energy balance in the intestine, liver and brain in rodents (42,45,46). While extensive characterization of the physiological regulation of apoA-IV has been done in rats and genetically modified mice, DNA sequences and binding proteins involved in molecular regulation of APOA4 gene expression have been less thoroughly investigated. Nonetheless, at least two key regions have been identified, one being a hormone response element 300-700 bp upstream from the transcription start site that binds HNF-4α and confers villus-specific expression to APOA4 (47). Recently members of the cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) family of transcription factors have been shown to increase APOA4 expression (36,48) and specific binding sites for CREBH were 6 identified proximal to both human and mouse APOA4 genes (48). Interestingly one of the CREB members, LUMAN (CREB3), increased APOA4 expression ~5 fold in dendritic cells without affecting other members of the gene cluster (36), but the physiological importance of apoA-IV protein in these cells remains to be investigated. Estrogen related receptor- alpha (ERR-alpha) has been shown to regulate APOA4, however this appears to act through the closely linked APOC3 promoter/enhancer region (49). A PPAR-α response element was also demonstrated ~3kb upstream of APOA4 and was shown to activate the gene in HepG2 cells (46). Whether it also functions in vivo is not known, and it is possible that it is primarily involved in APOC3 regulation. Physiological regulation of apoA-IV Diet, fasting and feeding Of the major apolipoproteins secreted by the intestine, only apoA-IV is stimulated by lipid absorption; neither D o w n lo protein nor carbohydrate absorption affects apoA-IV secretion. Kalogeris et al. found that intestinal apoA-IV secretion is a d e d closely tied to the transport of long-chain fatty acids in chylomicrons, with higher doses of administered lipid eliciting a fro m w w graded increase of apoA-IV secretion into lymph (50). Absorption of medium or short chain fatty acids does not stimulate w .jlr.o apoA-IV synthesis or secretion (51). In addition to stimulating apoA-IV secretion (2,52), lipid feeding also stimulates its rg b y g u synthesis several fold during active lipid absorption and chylomicron formation in the small intestine (53,54). This e s t, o n stimulation of apoA-IV secretion occurs rapidly (within half an hour following the onset of active lipid absorption) and is J a n u a unique to apoA-IV among the apolipoproteins (55). Fasting markedly reduces circulating and central apoA-IV levels, ry 3 , 2 0 with lowered apoA-IV gene expression in both the jejunum and the hypothalamus (56). Refeeding fasted rats with a low- 19 fat diet (e.g. regular rodent chow) evokes a significant increase of apoA-IV mRNA in jejunum but not in hypothalamus whereas refeeding them with a lipid-rich meal raises apoA-IV mRNA levels in both hypothalamus and jejunum (56). The mechanisms underlying this differential response remain to be investigated. While acute consumption of a lipid meal up-regulates apoA-IV synthesis and secretion, chronic consumption of a high fat diet (HFD) changes this response. Liu et al. maintained rats on HFD (20% by weight of fat, 19% butter fat and 1% safflower oil to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency), low fat diet (LFD, 4% fat, 3% by weight of butter fat and 1% of safflower oil), or standard chow (CHOW) for 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 weeks (57). Rats fed the HFD had significantly greater body weight (diet-induced obesity, DIO) than LF or CHOW rats. Intestinal and plasma apoA-IV levels were comparable between different dietary groups and over time. LF and CHOW rats had comparable hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA 7 across the course of the experiment. However, HFD rats had a slow progressive reduction in hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA that became significantly lower than that of LFD or CHOW rats by 10 weeks. Intragastric infusion of a lipid emulsion to overnight-fasted animals significantly stimulated hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA in LFD and CHOW rats but had a minimal effect in HFD rats (57). These results imply that chronic consumption of a HFD and/or becoming obese significantly reduces apoA-IV mRNA levels and the responsiveness of apoA-IV gene expression to dietary lipids in the hypothalamus (57). We also tested in that study if it is the obesity or the high fat content that was responsible for the decrease in hypothalamic apoA-IV. This was achieved by pair-feeding the HFD to match calories consumed by chow-fed animals. In that scenario, hypothalamic apoA-IV did not decrease and so we concluded that the decrease in hypothalamic apoA-IV was caused by obesity and not the high fat content of the diet. Furthermore, we proposed that the dysregulation of hypothalamic apoA-IV could contribute to DIO. Further supporting this concept is the observation that the attenuated responsiveness of apoA-IV to fasting and lipid feeding has also been observed in ob/ob mice (Tso et al., unpublished). D o w n lo Interestingly, because of the effect of acute lipid feeding on apoA-IV synthesis and secretion (58), plasma apoA- a d e d IV is a good marker of triglycerides after fat ingestion. That is, plasma apoA-IV is positively correlated with plasma fro m w w triglycerides during fasting and after a lipid-rich meal (59-61). It was once thought that apoA-IV would be a useful w .jlr.o biomarker of fat intake in animals and in humans (60,61). However, the muted response in obese subjects and HFD rg b y g u animals has greatly diminished the potential utility of apoA-IV as marker of fat intake this purpose (57,62-66). Rather e s t, o n this muted response may be a factor reducing the effects of apoA-IV in obese animals (and humans), including regulation J a n u a of food intake, and insulin secretion, as discussed later. ry 3 , 2 0 Circadian rhythm of apoA-IV synthesis and secretion by intestine and brain 19 Serum apoA-IV exhibits circadian rhythm (67) and it increases during the dark phase, corresponding to the most active feeding period of the rodents. The serum apoA-IV circadian rhythm was abolished by lymph diversion, suggesting that lymph apoA-IV flux into the blood stream was responsible for the serum apoA-IV circadian rhythm. These results were consistent with meal-stimulated intestinal apoA-IV synthesis and secretion being the major source of plasma apoA- IV. Bile diversion abolishes the circadian rhythm of lymphatic apoA-IV output, thus suggesting that bile is a major determinant of the circadian rhythm of lymph apoA-IV probably due to its necessity for luminal lipid digestion and thus absorption and chylomicron secretion. It should also be noted that lymph apoA-IV output in the fasting state is maintained by bile flow possibly as a supply of phospholipids as well as bile acids to support intestinal “VLDL” secretion during fasting. 8 The circadian rhythm of brain apoA-IV expression is quite different however. Liu et al. examined the diurnal pattern of hypothalamic apoA-IV gene and protein expression in ad libitum fed as well as feed time-restricted (food provided 4 h daily during the light cycle) rats (68). In ad lib fed rats, hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA and protein levels were highest during the light phase, peaking 3 h after lights on, and with a nadir 3 h after lights off. This pattern is opposite to the serum apoA-IV pattern. To determine if the hypothalamic pattern of apoA-IV is related to food intake or to the diurnal cycle, we changed the feeding pattern of the rats by shifting feeding to a 4 h period during the lights cycle (diet restricted animals). With this new feeding regimen, the daily patterns of the fluctuation shifted with a marked decrease in hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA and protein levels during the 4 h feeding period of the light phase. Although corticosterone (CORT) secretion temporally coincided with the decreasing level of apoA-IV in the hypothalamus, depletion of circulating CORT by adrenalectomy significantly decreased, rather than increased, hypothalamic apoA-IV mRNA and protein levels (68). This result indicated that the diurnal expression of hypothalamic apoA-IV is regulated by D o w n lo factors other than circulating CORT levels. The fact that hypothalamic apoA-IV level and food intake were inversely a d e d related during the normal diurnal cycle, as well as in the period of restricted feeding, demonstrates that hypothalamic fro m w w apoA-IV is regulated by the timing of daily food intake and not by the light dark cycle. Importantly, apoA-IV in the brain w .jlr.o appears to decrease in anticipation of feeding. Collectively, the data suggest that hypothalamic apoA-IV is an important rg b y g u mediator of meal-related events, and its down regulation is involved with preparing certain neural circuits that influence e s t, o n peripheral metabolic organs to be ready for an impending meal. J a n u a ry 3 , 2 0 Role of apoA-IV in intestinal lipid absorption and secretion 19 Although apoA-IV is most highly expressed in the intestine and is responsive to lipid absorption, whether or not it influences the transport of dietary fat across the intestine into the lymph has not been settled. Before describing the results of our studies and those of others, we give the following description of intestinal architecture and function to help the reader appreciate the utility of the conscious lymph fistula model. The villi and crypts forming the luminal surface of the small intestine are comprised of a continuous sheet of epithelial cells (enterocytes) together with a small number of scattered goblet and enteroendocrine cells. Beneath the enterocytes is the basement membrane, separating the enterocytes and the lamina propria. A lymphatic vessel (lacteal), which is surrounded by a blood capillary network, is located in the center of each intestinal villus. Dietary triglycerides are digested in the lumen, taken up by enterocytes as fatty acids and monoglyceride, resynthesized into triglycerides and assembled into apoB-48 containing chylomicron particles. Because 9 of the size of these particles, rather than entering the capillaries dietary triglyceride and associated lipophilic compounds are transported through the absorptive enterocyte into the lacteals and eventually into the intestinal lymphatics (illustrated in Figure 1). Thus, sampling intestinal lymph is the most direct way to assay the lipid absorptive process before the secreted lipids are diluted and metabolized in the plasma compartment. To this end, we have routinely and extensively used a lymph fistula procedure in rats and mice to measure absorption of triglyceride, cholesterol, and other lipids under a variety of experimental conditions. As illustrated in Figure 2, mice are fitted with lymphatic cannulas for the collection of lymph secreted from the small intestine, and with a gastric or duodenal cannula for the delivery of lipid emulsion directly into the stomach or intestinal lumen. This conscious mouse model allows direct quantitation of the output of dietary (infused) lipids into the intestinal lymph, the amount of lipid remaining in the lumen (not yet taken up by enterocytes), and the amount taken up by enterocytes but not yet transported into lymph as chylomicrons (69,70). The key advantages of this model are that: 1) the animal is conscious, enabling the efficient and rapid packaging and secretion of D o w n lo chylomicrons during active intestinal lipid infusion; 2) lymph can be continuously sampled over the course of many a d e d hours, both during and after lipid infusion; 3) animals can act as their own controls, thus reducing the number of animals fro m w w needed for study; and 4) lymph is sampled prior to its entry into the blood, so there is no confounding effect of peripheral w .jlr.o metabolism to obscure the results. rg b y g u The concept that apoA-IV is important for chylomicron formation was first suggested by Hayashi et al. who e s t, o n observed that when Pluronic L-81 (a potent inhibitor of intestinal chylomicron formation (71,72)) was added to an J a n u a infusion of lipid, apoA-IV secretion into lymph failed to increase, and that during the reversal of Pluronic L-81 inhibition, ry 3 , 2 0 apoA-IV secretion increased rapidly along with chylomicron secretion (54). Lipid droplets isolated from intestinal 19 epithelial cells during Pluronic L-81 treatment, contain apoB and apoA-IV, indicating that apoA-IV associates with pre- chylomicrons during the early phases of their formation. This was further supported by Weinberg and colleagues, who suggested that apoA-IV may be important in stabilizing the surface of a forming pre-chylomicron particle inside the enterocyte (73,74), enabling these pre-chylomicrons to grow larger with the incorporation of more triglyceride molecules. This concept was supported in studies of cultured pig intestinal epithelial cells where the production of large amounts of apoA-IV resulted in copious secretion of large chylomicron particles (73,75-77). In the assembly of VLDL, Chauhan et al. (78) clearly demonstrated that the C-terminal α-helical domains adapt their surface conformation as the particle is expanded by the addition of triglyceride molecules. The authors speculated that because the gut produces only apoB-48, apoA-IV in enterocytes compensates for the lack of the C-terminal domains of apoB-48 in facilitating chylomicron 10
