Effects of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein overexpression on fatty acid metabolism in Caco-2 cells

Abstract: Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is a cytosolic protein expressed at high levels (up to 2% of cytosolic proteins) in the small intestine epithelium. Despite cell transfection studies, its function is still unclear. Indeed, different effects on fatty acid metabolism depending on the cell type and the amount of I-FABP expressed have been reported. Furthermore, a decrease in fatty acid incorporation has been unexpectedly obtained when I-FABP reached 0.72% of cytosolic proteins in fibroblasts ( Prows… Show more

“…Many studies have generally focused on the role of the intestinal FABP2 in the absorption, transport, and metabolism of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Darimont et al, (2000) showed that a high level of FABP2 expressed in a differentiated enterocyte model inhibits incorporation of fatty acid, but the mechanism is still unknown [ 10 ]. Additionally, animal model experiments revealed that Fabp2 null ( Fabpi-/- ) mice show changes in body weight and are hyperinsulinemic.…”

“…This protein participates in the absorption, intracellular transport, and metabolism of dietary fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters in small intestine [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. There is experimental evidence that high levels of FABP2, expressed in a differentiated enterocyte model, may inhibit fatty acid incorporation by a currently-undefined mechanism [ 10 ].…”

“…Further support for this hypothesis is derived from the observation that compounds which compete for FABP binding impair the cytoplasmic diffusion of NBD-stearate (13) and from the enhanced rates of NBD-stearate diffusion in L cell fibroblasts (14,15) and mouse embryonic stem cells (12) transfected with L-FABP, intestinal FABP (I-FABP), or sterol carrier protein 2. On the other hand, Darimont et al (16) found that overexpression of I-FABP in stably transfected Caco-2 cells inhibited cellular incorporation of radiolabeled palmitate.…”

“…However, in L-cells expressing larger amounts of intestinal FABP, FA uptake decreased [36]. In a differentiated enterocyte model high levels of intestinal FABP also inhibited FA incorporation [37]. A direct correlation between L-FABP content and FA uptake was observed in HepG2 cells either transfected with antisense L-FABP mRNA or treated with a peroxisome proliferator [38].…”
