摘要

The acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is an ubiquitary expressed multi-functional protein which regulates basic cellular functions such as fatty acid and steroid metabolism. Since ACBP is described to interact with the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4 alpha), we investigated the role of human ACBP on transcriptional regulation of the putative HNF-4 alpha target gene HMG-CoA synthase 1 (HMGCS1). As shown by promoter-reporter assays ACBP represses the HNF-4 alpha-induced activity of a 617bp HMGCS1 promoter fragment by approximately 80% in HepG2 cells as well as in non-endodermal HeLa cells devoid of HNF-4 alpha. Interestingly, reporter assays without co-transfection of HNF-4 alpha revealed that ACBP reduces the activity of the HMGCS1 promoter by about 60 to 80% in both cell lines. Activities of 417bp and 317bp HMGCS1 promoter fragments were 2.5 to 4 fold decreased by ACBP. Concordantly, the levels of HMGCS1-mRNA and protein were diminished to 60% and 70% in ACBP-expressing HeLa cells, respectively. Additionally, ACBP reduces the promoter activity and the mRNA levels of the cholesterogenic HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR). In conclusion, we provide evidence that ACBP is a transcriptional regulator of the HMGCS1 and HMGCR genes encoding rate-limiting enzymes of cholesterol synthesis pathway.
