Identification of the human ApoAV gene as a novel RORalpha target gene.

Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-alpha (RORalpha) (NR1F1) is an orphan nuclear receptor with a potential role in metabolism. Previous studies have shown that RORalpha regulates transcription of the murine Apolipoprotein AI gene and human Apolipoprotein CIII genes. In the present study, we present evidence that RORalpha also induces transcription of the human Apolipoprotein AV gene, a recently identified apolipoprotein associated with triglyceride levels. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of RORalpha increased the endogenous expression of ApoAV in HepG2 cells and RORalpha also enhanced the activity of an ApoAV promoter construct in transiently transfected HepG2 cells. Deletion and mutation studies identified three AGGTCA motifs in the ApoAV promoter that mediate RORalpha transactivation, one of which overlaps with a previously identified binding site for PPARalpha. Together, these results suggest a novel mechanism whereby RORalpha modulates lipid metabolism and implies RORalpha as a potential target for the treatment of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis.
