Biological context of APOA2

 

Anatomical context of APOA2

  • To determine the apolipoprotein specificity of high density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, apolipoprotein A-I (apo-AI) and apolipoprotein A-II (apo-AII) purified from high density lipoprotein3 (HDL3) were reconstituted into dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles (DMPC) and their ability to bind to luteinized rat ovarian membranes was examined [17].
  • Whereas nontransgenic HDL protected against oxidized LDL induction of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells, HDL from apoA-II transgenic mice was proinflammatory [18].
  • The macrophage-to-smooth muscle cell ratio of lesions was 2.1-fold higher in apo-I/apoA-II mice than in apoA-I mice (P<0.01) [19].
  • ApoAII gene expression was demonstrated in adult human liver and HepG2 cells but not in human small intestine [20].
  • To determine the association between the -265 T to C substitution in the apolipoprotein A-II (APOA-II) gene and levels of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in a group of premenopausal African-American and white women, we genotyped 237 women (115 African-American and 122 white) for this polymorphism [21].
 

Associations of APOA2 with chemical compounds

  • Human and murine apolipoprotein A-II differently affect glucose metabolism and insulin resistance [2].
  • Purified human apoA-II was incorporated into sonicated, spherical LpA-I particles containing apoA-I, phospholipids, and various amounts of triacylglycerol (TG), diacylglycerol (DG), and/or free cholesterol [22].
  • Human apolipoprotein A-II associates with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma and impairs their catabolism [23].
  • ApoA-II isolated from human plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) by column chromatography migrated as a single band on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, had the appropriate amino acid composition, and provoked the production of monospecific antisera [24].
  • In assays, (0.05 M barbital buffer, 0.01% Triton X-100, pH 8.6) over 90% of (125)I-ApoA-II was bound by excess first antibody and over 95% was displaced by excess "cold" ApoA-II [24].
 

Physical interactions of APOA2

  • We have also found that the (GU) repeats in the apoA-II context bind the splicing factor TDP-43 and interfere with exon 3 definition [25].
 

Regulatory relationships of APOA2

  • Apolipoprotein A-II inhibits high density lipoprotein remodeling and lipid-poor apolipoprotein A-I formation [26].
  • In addition, apoA-II enhances the ability of reconstituted LpA-I particles to inhibit VLDL-TG hydrolysis by HL [22].
  • However, when the same amounts (0.1-3.0 nmol/assay) of apo A-II were incorporated together with apo A-I (0.8 nmol/assay) into the liposome, apo A-II significantly stimulated LCAT activity as compared to activity obtained with incorporation of apo A-I alone [27].
 

Other interactions of APOA2

  • Multipoint analysis between VP, SPTA1, APOA2 and D1S194 gave the maximum LOD score of 6.62 at APOA2, which has been physically mapped to 1q21-q23 [28].
  • CETP remodeled approximately 32% (A-I/A-II)rHDL into small but not large particles [26].
  • We used linkage analysis with polymorphic CA repeats to test for the involvement of two candidate loci, APOA2 and ACTN2 [29].
  • The average normolipidemic concentration of ApoA-I associated with ApoA-II in 50 women was 790 mg/L; in 50 men, it was 788 mg/L [30].
  • The apolipoprotein profile of all patient groups was characterized by significantly reduced levels of apolipoprotein (Apo)A-I and ApoA-II and significantly increased levels of ApoC-III [31].
