Abstract
Background Apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) is a protein mainly synthesized by enterocytes in the intestine. Its gene expression is suppressed during fasting and stimulated during active fat absorption. Chronic feeding of a high-fat (HF) diet abolishes the differential expression between fasting and fat-feeding and therefore may contribute to diet-induced obesity since apoA-IV is a potent satiety factor. It is well established that the circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 are increased by HF feeding. Methods To determine whether pro-inflammatory cytokines are involved in the diminished response of apoA-IV gene expression to fat-feeding, different concentrations of linoleic acid (LA), an important dietary fatty acid, was used to stimulate apoA-IV expression in human intestinal Caco2 cells. Cells were pre-treated with or without human recombinant TNF-α, IL-6 or their combination before the addition of LA. Real-time PCR and ELISA were used to detect and quantify RNA transcripts and proteins of apoA-IV and the cytokines. Results LA stimulated gene and protein expression of apoA-IV in a dose and time dependent manner. Pre-treatment with the cytokines for 72 h significantly inhibited the increased expression of apoA-IV gene and protein induced by LA. Furthermore, the cytokines, especially TNF-α, also positively up-regulate the cytokine themselves in Caco2 cells. Conclusions Our data indicate that the pro-inflammatory cytokines may be responsible for the reduced apoA-IV production in response to fat feeding. Because of apoA-IV’s role in satiety, we propose the inhibitory effect of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines on apoA-IV production contributes to diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
The weaning transition is characterised by morphological, histological and microbial changes, often leading to weaning-associated disorders. These intestinal changes can partly be ascribed to the lack of luminal nutrition arising from the reduced feed intake common in pigs after weaning. It is increasingly becoming clear that changes in the supply with enteral nutrients may have major impacts on intestinal gene expression. Furthermore, the major dietary constituents, i.e. carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, participate in the regulation of intestinal gene expression. However, nutrients may also escape digestion by mammalian enzymes in the upper gastrointestinal tract. These nutrients can be used by the microflora, resulting in the production of bacterial metabolites, for example, SCFA, which may affect intestinal gene expression indirectly. The present review provides an insight on possible effects of reduced feed intake on intestinal gene expression, as it may occur post-weaning. Detailed knowledge on effects of reduced feed intake on intestinal gene expression may help to understand weaning-associated intestinal dysfunctions and diseases. Examples are given of intestinal genes which may be altered in their expression due to supply with specific nutrients. In that way, gene expression could be modulated by dietary means, thereby acting as a potential therapeutic tool. This could be achieved, for example, by influencing genes coding for digestive or absorptive proteins, thus optimising digestive function and metabolism, but also with regard to immune response, or by influencing proliferative processes, thereby enhancing mucosal repair. This would be of special interest when designing a diet to overcome weaning-associated problems.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV overexpression enhances chylomicron (CM) assembly and secretion in newborn swine intestinal epithelial cells by producing larger particles (Lu S, Yao Y, Cheng X, Mitchell S, Leng S, Meng S, Gallagher JW, Shelness GS, Morris GS, Mahan J, Frase S, Mansbach CM, Weinberg RB, Black DD. J Biol Chem 281: 3473-3483, 2006). To determine the impact of apo A-IV on microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP), IPEC-1 cell lines containing a tetracycline-regulatable expression system were used to overexpress native swine apo A-IV and "piglike" human apo A-IV, a mutant human apo A-IV with deletion of the EQQQ-rich COOH-terminus, previously shown to upregulate basolateral triglyceride (TG) secretion 5-fold and 25-fold, respectively. Cells were incubated 24 h with and without doxycycline and oleic acid (OA, 0.8 mM). Overexpression of the native swine apo A-IV and piglike human apo A-IV increased MTTP lipid transfer activity by 39.7% (P = 0.006) and 53.6% (P = 0.0001), respectively, compared with controls. Changes in mRNA and protein levels generally paralleled changes in activity. Interestingly, native swine apo A-IV overexpression also increased MTTP large subunit mRNA, protein levels, and lipid transfer activity in the absence of OA, suggesting a mechanism not mediated by lipid absorption. Overexpression of piglike human apo A-IV significantly increased partitioning of radiolabeled OA from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane to lumen, suggesting increased net transfer of membrane TG to luminal particles. These results suggest that the increased packaging of TG into nascent CMs in the ER lumen, induced by apo A-IV, is associated with upregulation of MTTP activity at the pretranslational level. Thus MTTP is regulated by apo A-IV in a manner to promote increased packaging of TG into the CM core, which may be important in neonatal fat absorption.

Abstract
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha) regulates transcription of several genes involved in lipid metabolism, including that of apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV, which is tightly regulated by lipid absorption and enhances enterocyte chylomicron secretion. Studies were performed to define the role of HNF-4alpha in the regulation of apo A-IV gene transcription by dietary fatty acid in neonatal swine small intestine. HNF-4alpha mRNA was expressed in liver > intestine > kidney in suckling, weanling, and weaned pigs. Jejunal HNF-4alpha mRNA and protein and apo A-IV and swine microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) large subunit mRNA expression were induced in parallel in 2-day-old swine by a 24-h high-fat intraduodenal infusion. In IPEC-1 cells, incubation with oleic acid (OA) resulted in coordinate induction of both HNF-4alpha, apo A-IV, and MTP mRNA, similar to that observed in vivo. When HNF-4alpha expression was driven by doxycycline by using the TET-On system in the absence of OA to observe the effect of HNF-4alpha directly on apo A-IV and MTP mRNA levels in the absence of other factors that might be concomitantly induced by fatty acid absorption, apo A-IV and MTP expression were increased. In luciferase reporter gene assays in IPEC-1 cells using apo A-IV/C-III intergenic region constructs, TET-On-regulated HNF-4alpha expression without OA increased luciferase activity, and incubation with OA did not further increase activity. These data suggest that acute induction of the apo A-IV and MTP genes by dietary lipid in newborn intestine occurs, at least in part, via ligand-independent transactivation by HNF-4alpha that is itself induced by a lipid-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
ApoA-IV is a protein constituent of HDL particles; the gene coding for it is a member of the ApoA-I–ApoC-III–ApoA-IV cluster. To investigate the effects of the quantity and the degree of saturation of dietary lipid on the long-term response of this Apo, and on the hypothetical coordinated regulation of the clusterin vivo, pigs were fed isoenergetic, cholesterol-free, low-lipid or lipid-enriched diets (containing either extra olive oil (rich in MUFA) or sunflower oil (rich inn−6 PUFA)) for 42 d. In animals fed on the control diet, ApoA-IV was mainly associated with plasma lipoproteins. An increase in plasma ApoA-IV concentration, mainly in the lipoprotein-free fraction, was induced by the lipid-enriched diets, independent of the degree of saturation of the fatty acids involved. The latter diets also led to increases in hepatic ApoA-I, ApoA-IV and ApoC-III mRNA levels, more so with the sunflower oil-rich diet. The present results show that porcine plasma ApoA-IV levels and their association with lipoproteins are very sensitive to increases in dietary lipids, independent of the degree of fatty acid saturation. Furthermore, hepatic expression of RNA appears to be coordinated along with that of the other members of the gene cluster.

Abstract
Intestinal apolipoprotein A-IV expression is highly regulated by dietary lipid in newborn swine, suggesting a role in lipid absorption. Constitutive overexpression of apoA-IV in newborn swine enterocytes enhances basolateral secretion of triacylglycerol (TG) in TG-rich lipoproteins 4.9-fold (Lu, S., Yao, Y., Meng, S., Cheng, X., and Black, D. D. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 31929-31937). To investigate the mechanism of this enhancement, IPEC-1 cells were transfected with a tetracycline-regulatable expression system (Tet-On). In cells incubated with oleic acid, a dose response relationship was observed between medium doxycycline concentration and basolateral apoA-IV and TG secretion. Similarly regulated expression of apoA-I did not enhance lipid secretion. The mean diameter of TG-rich lipoproteins secreted from doxycycline-treated cells was larger than from untreated cells (87.0 nm versus 53.4 nm). Basolateral apoB secretion decreased. Using the same expression system, full-length human apoA-IV (376 amino acids); a "pig-like" human apoA-IV, lacking the C-terminal EQQQ repeats (361 amino acids); and a "chicken-like" apoA-IV, further truncated to 343 amino acids, were expressed in IPEC-1 cells. With increasing protein secretion, cells expressing the full-length human apoA-IV displayed a 2-fold increase in TG secretion; in sharp contrast, cells expressing the pig-like human apoA-IV displayed a 25-fold increase in TG secretion and a 27-fold increase in lipoprotein diameter. When human apoA-IV was further truncated to yield a chicken-like protein, TG secretion was inhibited. We conclude that overexpression of swine apoA-IV enhances basolateral TG secretion in a dose-dependent manner by increasing the size of secreted lipoproteins. These data suggest that the region in the human apoA-IV protein from residues 344 to 354 is critical to its ability to enhance lipid secretion, perhaps by enabling the packaging of additional core TG into chylomicron particles. The EQQQ-rich region may play an inhibitory or modulatory role in chylomicron packaging in humans.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-IV is a member of the apo A-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster. In order to investigate its hypothetical coordinated regulation, an acute phase was induced in pigs by turpentine oil injection. The hepatic expression of the gene cluster as well as the plasma levels of apolipoproteins were monitored at different time periods. Furthermore, the involvement of the inflammatory mediators' interleukins 1 and 6 and tumor necrosis factor in the regulation of this gene cluster was tested in cultured pig hepatocytes, incubated with those mediators and apo A-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster expression at the mRNA level was measured. In response to turpentine oil-induced inflammation, a decreased hepatic apo A-IV mRNA expression was observed (independent of apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA) not correlating with the plasma protein levels. The distribution of plasma apo A-IV experienced a shift from HDL to larger particles. In contrast, the changes in apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA were reflected in their corresponding plasma levels. Addition of cytokines to cultured pig hepatocytes also decreased apo A-IV and apo A-I mRNA levels. All these results show that the down-regulation of apolipoprotein A-I and A-IV messages in the liver may be mediated by interleukin 6 and TNF-alpha. The well-known HDL decrease found in many different acute-phase responses also appears in the pig due to the decreased expression of apolipoprotein A-I and the enlargement of the apolipoprotein A-IV-containing HDL.

Abstract
Dietary lipid acutely upregulates apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV expression by sevenfold at the pretranslational level in neonatal swine jejunum. To determine the mechanism of this regulation, two-day-old female swine received intraduodenal infusions of low- and high-triacylglycerol (TG) isocaloric diets for 24 h. Nuclear runoff assay confirmed apo A-IV gene transcriptional regulation by the high-TG diet. Footprinting analysis using the swine apo A-IV proximal promoter sequence (+14 to -246 bp) demonstrated three regions protected by the low-TG extracts. Of these three motifs, only ACCTTC showed 100% homology to the human sequence and was further studied. EMSA was performed using probes containing wild-type (WT) and mutant (M) motifs. A shift was noted with the low-TG nuclear extracts with the WT probe but not with the M probe. Excess unlabeled free WT probe competed out the shift, whereas the M probe did not. No significant shift occurred with either probe using high-TG extracts. These results suggest that a repressor protein binds to the ACCTTC motif and becomes unbound during lipid absorption, allowing transcriptional activation of the apo A-IV gene in newborn swine small intestine.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) has myriad functions, including roles as a post-prandial satiety factor and lipid antioxidant. ApoA-IV is expressed in mammalian small intestine and is up-regulated in response to lipid absorption. In newborn swine jejunum, a high fat diet acutely induces a 7-fold increase in apoA-IV expression. To determine whether apoA-IV plays a role in the transport of absorbed lipid, swine apoA-IV was overexpressed in a newborn swine enterocyte cell line, IPEC-1, followed by analysis of the expression of genes related to lipoprotein assembly and lipid transport, as well as quantitation of lipid synthesis and secretion. A full-length swine apoA-IV cDNA was cloned, sequenced, and inserted into a Vp and Rep gene-deficient adeno-associated viral vector, containing the cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter/enhancer and neomycin resistance gene, and was used to transfect IPEC-1 cells. Control cells were transfected with the same vector minus the apoA-IV insert. Using neomycin selection, apoA-IV-overexpressing (+AIV) and control (-AIV) clones were isolated for further study. Both undifferentiated (-D) and differentiated (+D) +AIV cells expressed 40- to 50-fold higher levels of apoA-IV mRNA and both intracellular and secreted apoA-IV protein compared with -AIV cells. Expression of other genes was not affected by apoA-IV overexpression in a manner that would contribute to enhanced lipid secretion. +D +AIV cells secreted 4.9-fold more labeled triacylglycerol (TG), 4.6-fold more labeled cholesteryl ester (CE), and 2-fold more labeled phospholipid (PL) as lipoproteins, mostly in the chylomicron/very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) density range. ApoA-IV overexpression in IPEC-1 cells enhances basolateral TG, CE, and PL secretion in chylomicron/VLDL particles. This enhancement is not associated with up-regulation of other genes involved in lipid transport. ApoA-IV may play a role in facilitating enterocyte lipid transport, particularly in the neonate receiving a diet of high fat breast milk.

Abstract
Phospholipid (PL) from both dietary sources and biliary secretions may be important in the regulation of intestinal apolipoprotein (apo) synthesis. We previously demonstrated the up-regulation of apo A-I secretion by phosphatidylcholine (PC) in a newborn piglet intestinal epithelial cell line. We hypothesized that dietary PC increases small intestinal apo A-I synthesis in vivo in the newborn piglet. Two-day-old female swine were fed by gavage for 48 h. Diets consisted of a formula containing 51% of calories as triacylglycerol providing 180 kcal/kg/24 h. The experimental group (+PC, n = 7) received 1 g/L added soybean PC, and the control group (-PC, n = 7) received no added PC. At the end of the study period, jejunal apo A-I, B, and A-IV synthesis was measured, and apo A-I mRNA levels were quantitated. Jejunal mucosal PL content and serum lipids and apo B and A-I levels were measured. Jejunal apo A-I synthesis was almost twice as high in the +PC group as compared to the -PC group with no difference in apo A-I mRNA levels. Jejunal content of PL was higher in the +PC group than in the -PC group. There were no differences in jejunal apo B and A-IV synthesis or serum levels of lipids and apo-lipoproteins between the two groups. Dietary PC supplementation in newborn swine up-regulated jejunal apo A-I synthesis. Apo A-IV synthesis, which is sensitive to fatty acid flux, was not significantly increased, which suggests a specific effect of PC on apo A-I synthesis. Lumenal PC may be important in the regulation of intestinal apo A-I synthesis in the neonate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between two common apoA-IV variants (Thr347-->Ser; Gln360-->His), and body mass index (BMI) and percentage body fat. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Eight-hundred and forty-eight subjects screened for participation in ongoing clinical studies. MEASUREMENTS ApoA-IV genotype, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and percentage body fat by bioelectric impedance. RESULTS Participants had an average age of 41+/-12 y and an average BMI of 28.2+/-5.5 kg/m2. Individuals homozygous for the Ser347 allele had higher BMI (32.3+/-6.6 vs 28.6+/-5.3 kg/m2; P<0.01) and percentage body fat (36.9+/-7.8 vs 31.0+/-9.6%; P<0.05) compared with individuals homozygous for Thr347. In contrast, the presence of at least one copy of the His360 allele was associated with lower BMI (27.2+/-5.0 vs 28.4+/-5.6 kg/m2; P<0.05) and percentage body fat (28.6+/-8.2 vs 30.7+/-9.1%; P<0.05). The genotype effects persisted after normalization of the data for the potential confounding effects of gender, age and race. When grouped by BMI percentile, the frequency of the Ser347/Ser347 genotype increased while the frequency of the His360 allele decreased with increasing BMI. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest a role for apoA-IV in fat storage or mobilization and that genetic variations in the apoA-IV gene may play a role in the development of obesity.

Abstract
Biliary lipids, composed of bile acids, cholesterol, and phosphatidylcholine, are a major source of luminal lipid in the small intestine. In the present study in a newborn swine intestinal epithelial cell line (IPEC-1), taurocholate and phosphatidylcholine were found to have no effect on apolipoprotein B (apo B) secretion but did significantly increase the basolateral secretion of apo A-I. This regulation of apo A-I secretion occurred at the pretranslational level for taurocholate and at the posttranslational level for phosphatidylcholine. The regulation of apo A-I secretion by phosphatidylcholine did not involve changes in apo A-I degradation and may involve mobilization of a preformed pool of apo A-I. Cholesterol, whether solubilized with taurocholate or phosphatidylcholine, had no effect on the secretion of either apo B or apo A-I. However, when taurocholate, phosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol were combined, apo B secretion was decreased, and the increase in apo A-I secretion noted with taurocholate and phosphatidylcholine alone was ablated. Another primary bile acid, taurochenodeoxycholate, was found to decrease apo B secretion but had no effect on apo A-I secretion. However, the significance of this effect is uncertain, since this bile acid caused significant cellular membrane injury, as evidenced by increased apical medium lactate dehydrogenase activity. Phosphatidylcholine, but not taurocholate, dramatically increased the basolateral secretion of radiolabeled phospholipid with a modest increase in cellular triglyceride radiolabeling. Furthermore, this effect of phosphatidylcholine on lipid synthesis did not require significant hydrolysis or uptake of the phosphatidylcholine molecule. Studies using radiolabeled taurocholate did not demonstrate active transport of taurocholate by these cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chronic (1 wk) feeding of dietary triacylglycerol (TG) of varying fatty acid composition on small intestinal and hepatic apolipoprotein expression, as well as serum lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations, in newborn swine. Two-day-old female swine were fed one of three diets by gavage with the following lipid composition: medium-chain TG (MCT; MCT oil), intermediate-chain saturated TG (ICST; coconut oil), and long-chain polyunsaturated TG (LCPUT; safflower oil) at 753 kJ . kg-1 . day-1 with 51% of energy from fat. After 1 wk, serum lipids and apolipoprotein concentrations were measured, and jejunal apolipoprotein B (apo B) and apo A-I mass and apo B, apo A-I, apo A-IV, and apo C-III synthesis were measured. Liver was processed for determination of apo B and apo A-I mass and apo B, apo A-I, apo C-III, and beta-actin mRNA abundance by slot blot hybridization. Compared with the MCT and LCPUT groups, the ICST group had higher total serum cholesterol, TG, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, and apo A-I concentrations. There were no differences among the three groups for intestinal apolipoprotein mass or synthesis. In liver, apo A-I mass was highest in the ICST group. Liver apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA abundance was highest in the ICST group. Among all three groups, hepatic apo A-I mass correlated significantly with plasma HDL-cholesterol concentrations, and serum TG concentrations correlated with hepatic apo C-III mRNA abundance. In conclusion, we found that in the newborn piglet, chronic feeding of ICST increases serum total cholesterol, TG, HDL-cholesterol, and apo A-I concentrations and hepatic expression of apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA, compared with feeding of MCT or LCPUT. We speculate that increased hepatic apo A-I expression may contribute to the higher serum HDL and apo A-I concentrations in the ICST animals. Increased hepatic expression of apo C-III with ICST feeding may contribute to the higher serum TG concentrations by apo C-III-mediated inhibition of the catabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV, a component of intestinally secreted, triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, has recently been proposed as a physiological controller of gastric function and food intake. Thus, it is important to understand the mechanisms involved in the control of expression, synthesis and secretion of apo A-IV. Apo A-IV is a member of a closely linked, multigene cluster which includes apolipoproteins A-I and C-III. Expression and synthesis of apo A-IV display marked variability with regard to species, tissue, stage of development and response to hormones, but intestinal apo A-IV is consistently stimulated by dietary lipid. The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the response of apo A-IV to lipid have not been clearly defined. Most evidence supports the hypothesis that some aspect of lipid transport is necessary for the apo A-IV response, but only part of this response may be due to a direct effect of intestinal lipid: recent findings suggest a connection between intestinal production of apo A-IV and hormonal and/or neural factors associated with operation of the "ileal brake." Thus, apo A-IV may play an integrative role in the modulation of both upper gastrointestinal function and ingestive behavior.
