  2. Sub-Cellular Localizations of rab Proteins Plasma membrane rab 4 Post Golgi vesicles Trans Golgi network rab 6 Medial Golgi Cis Golgi Intermediate compartment rab 1 rab 2 Endoplasmic reticulum Objectives & Perspectives • In vivo (rats) and in vitro (HepG2 cells lines) studies • Co-immunoprecipitation studies rabs 1 & 2 with apoE & transferrin • IHC (confocal microscopy) studies of rabs 1 & 2 and apoE & transferrin • Postranslational studies, i.e., prenylation and glycosylation Alcohol & Liver Protein Trafficking:Role of G-Proteins Ethanol Treatment Decreases Rab2-ApoE Protein Interaction CONTROL HepG2 Cells apoE rab2 Financial Support NIH/NIAAA KO1 ETHANOL-Treated HepG2 Cells apoE rab2

  3. Objectives & Perspectives • Studies of overexpression (GFP) and silencing (siRNA) of annexins II and VI in relation with apoE or transferrin secretion. • Time-lapse microscopy study of protein trafficking in control and ethanol conditions. Role of Annexin(s) in Ethanol-Mediated Hepatomegaly Financial Support VA Medical Center Pilot grant Annexin VI is distributed in various subcellular compartments Apolipoprotein E associates with Annexin VI (co-immunoprecipitation)

  4. Objectives & Perspectives • Study of ethanol-induced regulation of receptors implicated in cholesterol transport. • Extend the study in human to correlate Ethanol consumption, HDL composition and defective RCT. Ethanol-Induced Change in HDL Composition and Reverse Cholesterol Transport (RCT) Financial Support NIH/NIAAA RO1 Reconstituted HDL system
