Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein is predominantly derived from Kupffer cells

Abstract: The role of Kupffer cells (KCs) in the pathophysiology of the liver has been firmly established. Nevertheless, KCs have been underexplored as a target for diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases owing to the lack of noninvasive diagnostic tests. We addressed the hypothesis that cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is mainly derived from KCs and may predict KC content. Microarray analysis of liver and adipose tissue biopsies, obtained from 93 obese subjects who underwent elective bariatric surgery, showe… Show more

“…APOE*3-Leiden.CETP (E3L.CETP) mice were obtained as previously described21 and housed under standard conditions in conventional cages with free access to chow diet and water unless indicated otherwise. At the age of 10–12 weeks, male mice were used for experiments in accordance with the regulations of Dutch law on animal welfare.…”

“…A recent study also showed that TNFα increased apoB secretion in mouse hepatocytes in vitro and promoted hepatic VLDL secretion in mice [19], indicating a link between hepatic TNFα and elevated plasma triglycerides. Moreover, Kupffer cells were identified as the predominant source of plasma CETP, a protein which mediates the exchange of cholesteryl esters for triglycerides between lipoproteins and is associated with dyslipidemia [20]. In obesity-associated NAFLD, hepatic Kupffer cell content and plasma CETP are increased, concomitant with atherogenic dyslipidemia characterized by small dense LDL, elevated triglycerides and reduced HDL [20].…”

In obesity-associated NAFLD, hepatic Kupffer cell content and plasma CETP are increased, concomitant with atherogenic dyslipidemia characterized by small dense LDL, elevated triglycerides and reduced HDL [20]. These findings suggest that activation of liver macrophages in NAFLD may alter lipoprotein metabolism and secretion to promote increased plasma LDL-C and triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C, contributing to an atherogenic lipid profile during NAFLD progression.…”

“…Liver fat accumulation per se proportionally increases the hepatic secretion rate of large VLDL1, which exchanges triglycerides with cholesterol contained in circulating LDL and HDL particles, resulting in small LDL and HDL3 formation (55). Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that circulating cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) derives largely from hepatic Kupffer cells, and its levels parallel the severity of histological necroinflammations in NASH (111). Of note, CETP inhibitors alleviate high-fat diet-induced steatohepatitis and fibrosis, possibly by reducing oxidized LDL uptake by hepatic Kupffer and stellate cells (112), and represent a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of both NAFLD and CKD (Table 2).…”
