The adaptor protein PID1 regulates receptor-dependent endocytosis of postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
ObjectiveInsulin resistance is associated with impaired receptor dependent hepatic uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL), promoting hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerosis. Next to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) and syndecan-1, the LDLR-related protein 1 (LRP1) stimulated by insulin action contributes to the rapid clearance of TRL in the postprandial state. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that the adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interacting domain-containing protein 1 (PID1) regulates LRP1 function, thereby controlling hepatic endocytosis of postprandial lipoproteins.MethodsLocalization and interaction of PID1 and LRP1 in cultured hepatocytes was studied by confocal microscopy of fluorescent tagged proteins, by indirect immunohistochemistry of endogenous proteins, by GST-based pull down and by immunoprecipitation experiments. The in vivo relevance of PID1 was assessed using whole body as well as liver-specific Pid1-deficient mice on a wild type or Ldlr-deficient (Ldlr-/-) background. Intravital microscopy was used to study LRP1 translocation in the liver. Lipoprotein metabolism was investigated by lipoprotein profiling, gene and protein expression as well as organ-specific uptake of radiolabelled TRL.ResultsPID1 co-localized in perinuclear endosomes and was found associated with LRP1 under fasting conditions. We identified the distal NPxY motif of the intracellular C-terminal domain (ICD) of LRP1 as the site critical for the interaction with PID1. Insulin-mediated NPxY-phosphorylation caused the dissociation of PID1 from the ICD, causing LRP1 translocation to the plasma membrane. PID1 deletion resulted in higher LRP1 abundance at the cell surface, higher LDLR protein levels and, paradoxically, reduced total LRP1. The latter can be explained by higher receptor shedding, which we observed in cultured Pid1-deficient hepatocytes. Consistently, PID1 deficiency alone led to increased LDLR-dependent endocytosis of postprandial lipoproteins and lower plasma triglycerides. In contrast, hepatic PID1 deletion on an Ldlr-/- background reduced lipoprotein uptake into liver and caused plasma TRL accumulation.ConclusionsBy acting as an insulin-dependent retention adaptor, PID1 serves as a regulator of LRP1 function controlling the disposal of postprandial lipoproteins. PID1 inhibition provides a novel approach to lower plasma levels of pro-atherogenic TRL remnants by stimulating endocytic function of both LRP1 and LDLR in the liver

PID1 regulates insulin-dependent glucose uptake by controlling intracellular sorting of GLUT4-storage vesicles
The phosphotyrosine interacting domain-containing protein 1 (PID1) serves as a cytosolic adaptor protein of the LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1). By regulating its intracellular trafficking, PID1 controls the hepatic, LRP1-dependent clearance of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins. In adipose and muscle tissues, LRP1 is present in endosomal storage vesicles containing the insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). This prompted us to investigate whether PID1 modulates GLUT4 translocation and function via its interaction with the LRP1 cytosolic domain. We initially evaluated this in primary brown adipocytes as we observed an inverse correlation between brown adipose tissue glucose uptake and expression of LRP1 and PID1. Insulin stimulation in wild type brown adipocytes induced LRP1 and GLUT4 translocation from endosomal storage vesicles to the cell surface. Loss of PID1 expression in brown adipocytes prompted LRP1 and GLUT4 sorting to the plasma membrane independent of insulin signaling. When placed on a diabetogenic high fat diet, systemic and adipocyte-specific PID1-deficient mice presented with improved hyperglycemia and glucose tolerance as well as reduced basal plasma insulin levels compared to wild type control mice. Moreover, the improvements in glucose parameters associated with increased glucose uptake in adipose and muscle tissues from PID1-deficient mice. The data provide evidence that PID1 serves as an insulin-regulated retention adaptor protein controlling translocation of LRP1 in conjunction with GLUT4 to the plasma membrane of adipocytes. Notably, loss of PID1 corrects for insulin resistance-associated hyperglycemia emphasizing its pivotal role and therapeutic potential in the regulation of glucose homeostasis
