Background: Macrophage-derived lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has been shown uniformly to promote atherosclerotic lesion formation while the extent to which it affects plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels varies in wild-type and hypercholesterolemic mice. It is known that high levels of LPL in the bulk of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle would certainly mask the contribution of macrophage LPL to metabolism of plasma lipoprotein. Therefore, we chose LPL deficient (LPL(-/-)) mice with severe hypertriglyceridemia as an alternative model to assess the role of macrophage LPL in plasma lipoprotein metabolism via bone marrow transplant, through which LPL will be produced mainly by hematopoietic cell-derived macrophages.Methods and Results: Hypertriglyceridemic LPL(-/-) mice were lethally irradiated, then transplanted with bone marrow from wild-type (LPL(+/+)) or LPL(-/-) mice, respectively. Sixteen weeks later, LPL(+/+) -> LPL(-/-) mice displayed significant reduction in plasma levels of triglyceride and cholesterol (408 +/- 44.9 vs. 2.7 +/- 0.5 x10(3) and 82.9 +/- 7.1 vs. 229.1 +/- 30.6 mg/dl, p LPL(-/-) mice was faster than that in LPL(-/-) -> LPL(-/-) mice, but slower than that in wild-type mice. Liver triglyceride content in LPL(+/+) -> LPL(-/-) mice was also significantly increased, compared with LPL(-/-) -> LPL(-/-) mice (6.8 +/- 0.7 vs. 4.6 +/- 0.5 mg/g wet tissue, p
