Dietary fats are efficiently absorbed in the small intestine and transported into the blood via the lymph as chylomicrons, despite enormous variations in the amount and composition of the dietary lipid. The aim of the present study was to investigate how enterocytes respond to increased dietary fats of different composition. Rabbits were fed a low fat chow diet, and chow supplemented with sunflower oil (high n–6 polyunsaturated fatty acids), fish oil (high n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), or an oil mixture of a composition similar to that of the typical western diet. Feeding fat for 2 weeks markedly stimulated the ability of the isolated enterocytes to synthesize and secrete apolipoprotein B48, triacylglycerol, and cholesteryl ester (up to 18-, 50-, and 80-fold, respectively) in particles of chylomicron density. The magnitude of stimulation was sunflower oil > western diet lipid > fish oil. Single doses of lipid given 18 h prior to isolation of enterocytes stimulated chylomicron secretion by only 10% of that observed after 2 weeks of dietary supplementation. Enterocytes are replaced rapidly (half-life 1–2 days) by cells which move from the crypts to the tips of the villi, where absorption of nutrients takes place. Our observations suggest that dietary lipids modulate the function of enterocytes as they move from the crypts, so that the cells are ‘turned-on’ to lipid absorption. The results also show that diets of different fatty acid composition vary in their effects.—Cartwright, I. J., and J. A. Higgins. Increased dietary triacylglycerol markedly enhances the ability of isolated rabbit enterocytes to secrete chylomicrons: an effect related to dietary fatty acid composition. J.

Lipid Res. 1999. 40: 1858–1866. Absorption of dietary lipids involves intralumenal digestion, transfer of the products of digestion across the brush border of the enterocytes, resynthesis of the lipids, and assembly of chylomicrons, which are released into the lamina propria and move via the lymph into the circulation. Chylomicrons are light particles (d < 1.000 g/ml) which are heterogeneous in size (diameters 80–1000 nm) and consist of >90% neutral lipid, predominantly triacylglycerol (TAG) with some cholesteryl ester (CE), stabilized by a shell of amphipathic lipids, phospholipid and cholesterol, and protein (1Hussain M.M. Kancha R.K. Zhou Z Luchoomun J. Zu H. Bakillah A. Chylomicron assembly and catabolism; role of apolipoproteins and receptors.Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1996; 1300: 151-170Google Scholar). Apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) is the major structural protein component and is essential for the formation and secretion of chylomicrons (1Hussain M.M. Kancha R.K. Zhou Z Luchoomun J. Zu H. Bakillah A. Chylomicron assembly and catabolism; role of apolipoproteins and receptors.Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1996; 1300: 151-170Google Scholar, 2Glickman R.M. Rogers M. Glickman J.N. Apolipoprotein B synthesis by human liver and intestine in vitro.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 1986; 83: 5296-5300Google Scholar). Electron microscopic studies have shown that the assembly of chylomicrons follows the classic secretary pathway; the lipid and protein components appear in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum of the enterocytes, from where they move to the Golgi lumen (3Jones A.L. Ockner R.K. An electron microscopic study of endogenous very low density lipoprotein production in the intestine of rat and man.J. Lipid Res. 1971; 12: 580-589Google Scholar, 4Christensten N.J.

Chylomicron sized particles are formed in the setting of apolipoprotein B deficiency.J. Lipid Res. 1998; 39: 1543-1557Google Scholar). Trans-Golgi vesicles then move to fuse with the lateral borders of the enterocytes releasing the chylomicrons outside the cell. The outline of events in the assembly of chylomicrons resembles that of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), which transport endogenous lipids into the circulation from the liver. The major differences are that VLDL are considerably smaller than chylomicrons (40–80 nm in diameter), contain proportionally less neutral lipid, and that apoB-100 is the essential structural component of VLDL. ApoB-100 and apoB-48 are products of the same gene. However, in the intestine, the mRNA for apoB-100 is edited by a deaminase (apo-bec-1) which converts cytosine at position 6666 to uracil resulting in codon 2153 being converted to a stop codon. Translation of the edited message produces the truncated form, apoB-48 (7Powell L.M. Wallis S.C. Pease R.J. Edwards Y.H. Knott T.J. Scott J.

The significance of apoB editing is not known; although, as this occurs in the small intestine of all mammals, it appears likely that apoB-48 has a fundamental role in chylomicron assembly. There has been considerable progress in elucidation of the molecular details of VLDL assembly in hepatic cells (9Yao Z. Trans K. McLeod R.S.

Regulation of the assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins by the liver.Biol. Chem. 1998; 379: 1033-1040Google Scholar), however, very little is known about the intracellular and molecular details of chylomicron assembly and secretion in normal enterocytes. This is in part due to the lack of an appropriate cellular model for such studies (1Hussain M.M. Kancha R.K. Zhou Z Luchoomun J. Zu H. Bakillah A.
