Peptide YY Stimulates the Expression of Apolipoprotein A-IV Gene in Caco-2 Intestinal Cells

Laboratory of Food Biochemistry, Department of Bioscience and Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060–8589, Japan

The effect of peptide YY, a gastrointestinal hormone, on the expression of the apolipoprotein A-IV gene in the intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 was examined by semiquantitative RT-PCR followed by Southern hybridization with an inner oligonucleotide probe. Apolipoprotein A-IV mRNA levels were increased in response to peptide YY in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Western blotting revealed that the exogenous peptide YY increased the intracellular concentration of apolipoprotein A-IV. In contrast, apolipoprotein A-I, B, and C-III mRNA did not respond to peptide YY. Differentiated Caco-2 cells expressed Y1- but not Y2- and Y5-receptor subtype mRNA. The present results suggest that peptide YY modulates apolipoprotein A-IV gene expression, likely via the Y1-receptor subtype in intestinal epithelial cells.
