Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder of cholesterol metabolism. Three recognized genes (LDLR, APOB and PCSK9) present in only 20–30% of patients with possible FH cases. Additional FH-causing genes need to be explored. The present study found an isolated gene change, sEH R287Q, in a core family of FH. In this study, we aimed to investigate the roles of R287Q on sEH expression and on LDLR expression, LDL binding to LDLR and LDL internalization.167 lipid-related genes of a core FH family were sequenced using a gene-capture chip. Through carrier dependent protein expression, the expression level (western blot), hydrolase activity (fluorescent chemistry) and intracellular localization (immunofluorescence and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope) of recombinant sEH R287Q in cultured BEL-7402 cells were conducted. The effect of wild type and R287Q of sEH on LDLR expression, LDL binding to LDLR and LDL internalization were also conducted through Flow Cytometry.sEH R287Q was the only gene changes among 167 lipid-related genes in the FH core family. Both expression level and hydrolase activity of recombinant sEH R287Q in cultured cells were significantly declined compared with that of the wild type sEH. sEH R287Q also decreased the binding of LDL to LDLR and LDL internalization and had no effect on cell-surface LDLR protein level.Our results suggest that sEH R287Q may have a role in the elevation of blood LDL in FH. The exactly role of sEH R287Q on FH deserves further study.
