Synthesis and secretion of hepatic triglycerides (TAG) associated with very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) play a major role in maintaining overall lipid homeostasis. This study aims to identify factors affecting synthesis and secretion of VLDL-TAG using the growth hormone–deficient Ames dwarf mouse model, which has reduced serum TAG. Proteomic analysis coupled with a bioinformatics-driven approach revealed that these mice express greater amounts of hepatic cathepsin B and lower amounts of liver fatty acid–binding protein (LFABP) than their wildtype littermates. siRNA-mediated knockdown of cathepsin B in McA-RH7777 cells resulted in a 39% increase in [3H]TAG associated with VLDL secretion. Cathepsin B knockdown was accompanied by a 74% increase in cellular LFABP protein levels, but only when cells were exposed to 0.4 mm oleic acid (OA) complexed to BSA. The cathepsin B knockdown and 24-h treatment with OA resulted in increased CD36 expression alone and additively. Co-localization of LFABP and cathepsin B was observed in a distinct Golgi apparatus–like pattern, which required a 1-h OA treatment. Moreover, we observed co-localization of LFABP and apoB, independent of the OA treatment. Overexpression of cathepsin B resulted in decreased OA uptake and VLDL secretion. Co-expression of cathepsin B and cathepsin B–resistant mutant LFABP in McA-RH7777 cells resulted in an increased TAG secretion as compared with cells co-expressing cathepsin B and wildtype LFABP. Together, these data indicate that cathepsin B regulates VLDL secretion and free fatty acid uptake via cleavage of LFABP, which occurs in response to oleic acid exposure.
