Background: The recently discovered apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) is fast gaining attention as a key regulator of serum triglyceride concentrations. An ApoA5 mouse knock-out model produced an approximately fourfold increase in serum triglycerides, whereas a knock-in model with human ApoA5 produced 50-70% lower concentrations of mouse serum triglycerides. In addition, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-{alpha} agonists, which are used clinically to lower serum triglyceride concentrations, cause increased ApoA5 mRNA expression. Despite these compelling molecular biology data, relatively little is known about ApoA5 protein in human serum.

Methods: To better understand circulating concentrations and lipoprotein particle distribution of ApoA5, we expressed the recombinant human ApoA5 protein and raised antibodies against both the NH2 and COOH termini.

Results: Using the above reagents, we demonstrate for the first time that ApoA5 is present in human serum, although at much lower concentrations than other apolipoproteins such as ApoA1. Using a dual-antibody sandwich ELISA that we developed, we observed ApoA5 concentrations in human serum ranging from 24 to 406 µg/L compared with ~1 g/L for ApoA1. We also examined the lipoprotein particle distribution of ApoA5 and found that ApoA5 was detectable in VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons, but not LDL.

Conclusions: These data demonstrate for the first time that ApoA5 is a secreted protein present in human serum and is associated with specific lipoprotein particles. In addition, our data indicate that the circulating concentration of human ApoA5 is very low compared with other apolipoproteins.
