The Proline 12 Alanine Substitution in the Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ2 Gene Is Associated With Lower Lipoprotein Lipase Activity in Vivo

Abstract: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a key role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing triglycerides in circulating lipoproteins. Low LPL activity has been linked to coronary artery disease (CAD), but the factors influencing LPL expression are not completely understood. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-␥ is a nuclear receptor regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, and a PPAR-responsive element is present in the LPL promoter. We determined the Pro12Ala polymorphism in the PPAR-␥2 gene in 194 male CAD p… Show more

“…The ES has been shown to correlate better with risk factors of CAD than other scores ( Sullivan et al, 1990 ). Biochemical parameters and the Pro12Ala genotype in exon B of PPAR γ 2 were determined as described elsewhere ( Schneider et al, 2002 ). The study was approved by the Internal Ethics Committee of Heidelberg University.…”

“…While some studies report enhanced suppression of lipolysis and hence adipose lipid trapping in Ala carriers (121,122), others have detected no difference in fasting FFAs (122) or response to oral lipid (103), while another actually found lower post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity in Ala carriers (123). Although differences in adipocytokine levels are an attractive explanation for genotypespecific metabolic responses, the reported relationship of Pro12Ala genotype to plasma adiponectin has not been consistent (124,125).…”

“…The Pro12Ala polymorphism in PPARG may lead to an alteration of the intrinsic activity of this receptor. Presence of the Ala allele is associated with reduced lipoprotein lipase activity, resulting in altered clearance of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), with consequent increase in lipoprotein plasma levels [6]. These changes in lipid metabolism in subjects carrying the Ala allele were confirmed by a meta-analysis with 48,210 individuals, which included association studies between the Pro12Ala polymorphism and lipid profile published until May 2014 [7].…”
